Sam walks around the galaxies
and reaches for each star that he passes by
Hoping he’d get warm from even just one,
– or two
of those flickering lights
And I stared.
Sam wanders in circles
looking  for utopia
under the bushes, above the clouds
Out there somewhere
there might be a Shangri-la
And I stared.
Sam examines the deepest seas
Two hundred, then five
–  a thousand meters below
wondering if he can still build a campfire
and enjoy his sweet beer  and s’mores
And I just stared.
But Sam stared back.
Sam pulled out his empty heart
and stitched me up in there
curious of how it would feel
So together with his heart I beat,
then I was beaten
Because Sam was a scientist,
and he wanted to know what love is
He wanted to test if it could ****
and I –
I was just his willing experiment

This one goes out to you. Thank you for both the happy and broken heart beats.
sitting on the porch just waiting to see one more glimpse of you
I should've known then I was a fool to believe
you'd ever want me too
this silly girl gave in to her heart
I should've listened to my head and now I'm left here alone
just thinking about everything my daddy said cause you're a heartbreaker
a soul taker
no one [will] hold you down
so take what you want and then take all the rest 'cause this girl is headin' out of town
a summer sun was beatin' down the day your eyes met mine
I was mesmerised by the smile on your lips
didn't know how sweet they could laugh
every touch
every moment in time
you caused every sigh and now left here alone thinking I should have seen
I should've seen you'd make me cry cause you're a heartbreaker
a soul taker
no one will hold you down
so take what you want and then take all the rest 'cause this girl is headin' out of town
one day I know I'll be moving on but I fear you'll always be right there holdin' a piece of my heart that will never belong to me and I'll live my life on reasons to smile
so everyone will always think that you didn't shake me and totally break me
they'll never know
I'll never be free cause you're a heartbreaker
a soul taker
no one [will] hold you down
so take what you want and then take all the rest 'cause this girl is gettin' away from you heartbreaker
you soul taker
I'll never be the same you took what you want and I gave it away and now I'm left here standing in the rain
One of my favourite poems by one of my favourite poets...
Oscar Mann Dec 2015
I’ve been mistaken for a conquistador
When really I just break hearts by accident
There’s no evil in my deeds
And no wickedness in my words
I’m just looking for lovers who are lost

I’ve been trying to fix the unbroken
And all I do is break what can’t be fixed
There’s no cleverness in my words
And no thoroughness in my deeds
I’m just a lost soul looking for love

So you will know me by the trail of broken hearts
And the flower in my buttonhole
And that smug look on my face
And the searchlight in my mind
Aimed at nothing in particular

My Friday the 13ths have not always been eventful..
Until today...
You sent me a message.
You apologized.
We spoke.
I ended up saying goodbye first.
Not because I cant handle speaking to you.
I cant handle the pain,
And the excuses.
I cant handle you telling me you love me.
And repedetly telling me...
You're in love with me
You told me to trust you,
that you will explain in a later time.
But how can I trust you,
When you run away?
Perhaps, I do not understand.
But How can I put up with a pain,
You engraved when you left?

I dont really know whats going on anymore. But, I cannot allow myself to sink any further... Even for the person I loved the most.

He threw me out the window when he was done. Never would I have thought a creature so beautiful would be so cruel, but looks at'my everything so be warned those tall, muscular guys, with a perfect jawline, and red rose lips are just simple heartbreaker.

Falling short is something i know,
Doing wrong is something i do very well.
Never was very affectionate, because i never had that.
Always looked for love in all the wrong places.
Always made friends out of all the wrong faces.
Having it all, losing it all, Missing your calls, fight til we fall.
Thats scary.
It must be hard to love me.
With so many flaws just look at my soul everything just gets ugly.
Please don't be too scared to love me, sometimes at last doesn't come at first.
Suffer with me as we learn life and once i understand how im supposed to live ill make it so you never suffer again.

A heartbreaker
You hate her
I'll face you
Like a wild wild beast so true

You *******
Blood plastered
No way you'll make another girl fall for you
There's no one in this world who'll do

Be gone
You're done
You're *******
Keep crawling like you should

b.
you used to leave one kiss on my head.
now I could be pronounced dead &
you'd act like you care.
about the memories,
left.
like broken glass on the kitchen floor.

I write poetry in my head quite a lot
but I forget when I wake up
just like I have forgotten how to breathe
somehow that happens in the spaces between your ears
in through your nose
out through your mouth
my parents told me this a lot
when they were together
I don't remember them being together
besides when the argued in the room painted with dandelions
that was my room, my mother painted it
I don't want to be like my parents
I'd rather forget how to breathe
than stab someone's heart
