It’s been enough years now,
Enough years for me to let you go from my mind.
Yet each time a sad song plays,
Your memory returns, and tears fill my eyes.

Was it really that difficult for you to love me?
Am I just a fool to still hold onto the memories?
Everyone says you didn’t deserve me anyway,
But all I feel is I was the one who didn’t deserve to be loved.

The brown eyes I fell in love with,
They’ll never change.
I searched for that warmth in others' eyes,
But left them cold and estranged.

I tried to find what you once gave,
But only left them torn,
Passing on the heartbreak you left me,
In eyes just like yours, forlorn.

A good cry
Maybe that's all I need
A good cry to empty all of my sorrow and disintegrate all feelings of dismal

Maybe that's all I need in life
Until I'm able to numb my feelings away and finally become the stoic person I've always wanted to be

Maybe then,
If I cleanse myself of all emotion,
I'll be happy
Simply happy

Not stuck thinking about you 24/7
Not stuck staring at your lips every time you talk
Not stuck wanting you because
god
That's all I need

Please

Dry your tears little girl
For no one can see you cry
Wipe your sadness away
You can smile all you want
But eyes don't lie
So dry your tears little girl
For you are not
A little girl anymore

Hello Darkness 🖤

I ran afar from you,
as a toddler.
Hoping and wanting light,
As bright and safe.

But as I grew taller and aged to wither,
I came to hear silent calls from YOU.

The glance of you gave me thrills and chills
But onto diving deeper,
I came to know you are nothing but my soul.

I found the peace,
From the deep oceans/
and the tenderness
Of the gentle breeze

Only answer to my heart,
Was to invite you wide into my arms.🖤

I feel the strings attached to my limbs;
Begging, pleading for me to give in.
“You’ll feel better if you give in”
They whisper in my ears, much to my chagrin.
But maybe when their judgment comes
At the hand of the one above;
I will be freed.

But there is no one above
No pretty partridge;
No savior dove
To be free would be to die
So for now I guess I’ll just sit and
Cry.

When they tug my strings
I move to their dance.
And if they force me down
I’ll kick I’ll struggle
Like a fly in their web,
And just like the spider
They’ll eat me alive
Because

With no one above,
In the gleaming temple
Lies a cold dead dove
Killed by the hands
That puppeteer my strings.

But to be free would be to die,
So again I sit here and cry.

Strolling down the beach,
everything just out of her reach.
Her woven heart again is broken,
from love she is forbidden.

Trust and love of someone,
to her was never given.
Her soul accentuated by her tear,
her heart filled with fear.

Further into the ocean she goes,
the waves higher it rose.
Every step in the water,
back to the past it brought her.

The water already upto her lip,
into her own thought she goes deep.
I'm okay to herself again she lies,
with that lie into the water she dives.

The sky is pretty and blissful,
the wind now calm and peaceful.
Slowly into the dark she is drowning ,
with not a single soul noticing.

Despite all the chaos,
She puts up a smile,
hidden in her pathos,
alone for a while.

She has had enough,
fighting with her inner self,
all she does is laugh,
hoping everyone else is deaf.

Aiming at her is an arrow,
made of pitch dark metal,
all she feels right now is sorrow,
all she needs is someone gentle.

That smile is hiding
as much pain
away she is sliding
out of that long chain.

All she need is someone
to be by her side
his shoulders to put her head on
whenever she feels like to hide.

Beneath that glorious smile
lies a face no one's ever seen
she's held on for a while
waiting for him, unseen.

-Lily

Let's pretend that I'm perfect
That I'm beautiful
That I'm happy
Let's pretend that I don't cry
In the shower late at night
That I'm not lonely
That I'm not scared
Let's pretend that I'm not broken
That I don't hate everything
That everything isn't always my fault
Let's pretend
That everything will be ok
