You may not,
Know me that well;
Anymore.

A relic from your past,
Trying to find a way;
Back, into your heart.

However long,
It may take you,
To open your doors:

I just want you to know,
That I have loved you,
Since the first day.

And I want to love you,
Till the last.

I never thought
the words you’d say
would be someone else’s

your smiles, lies
open ended promises,
love turned disguises,
heartache and prizes.

last words said too late.
new ones said so early.

i’m beginning to think
your love for me was
just you in a hurry—

destination: her.
me, nothing but her seat warmer.
i’ve come to the realization that someone I held so special in my heart did not hold me with that same weight. it’s only been a month but he’s quickly moved on while I sit and watch and wished that it was me in the pictures, with him. ain’t love cruel.

Men?

Hah.

They come to me.
But they never seem to go as easily
as they come to me.
I'm a simple girl.
I want nothing more than to bathe in my solitude.
But these men,
so foolish by nature
they want nothing
more than to claim me.

They threaten my essence.

And so well
I hurt them.
So well I hurt them too - my dear
So well in fact
that they come for seconds.
And when I start hurting them
I can't seem to stop.

I carry their morsels,
their names
in my every stride
in my sway lies their broken hearts.
At night, I lay on a bed of virtuous compliments.
I adorn my flesh with their promises
my skin reeks of their tenderest secrets.
My dress
a construct of their desires alone.
You will hear their fervent pleas
from time to time
concealed so effortlessly beneath my laugh
a soft cackle.

It is true.

I have dulled many lives.
Yet I have never felt more alive.
Because my dear
I’m sure that you too
would agree
I wear them well

les garçons.

I called
Ten, eleven times
You didn't pick up but you're right
I should've tried again
Tried again even though every unanswered phone call broke a piece of me
****** the life out of me

Where were you?

Do you know the waves i dived trying to get to you?
Do you know the hell I had to put up with?
The fears I had to face?
The tears I cried hoping you'd hear my agony and turn around?
Do you know how a vow from you tormented my existence?
You let me down
You said a man can be trusted and a father can stay

You lied

I just wanna know why you left
Why you're still not here
Is that fine?
This is a poem about people who promised to stay, to walk this life with you and be there for you... Only to break their promises!

I promise
to give something
you deserve.
This love,
will always
be yours.
for my love

Those half-meant words with strings
Attached to a world so bright
The blinding blaze broke
The binds I had with earth.

World turned upside-down, it seemed
Now the sky attainable, eyes cloudy
Surfing towards the sun
To be burned down to earth, again.

Back to being normal, it seemed
Yet five feet down below the ground
Mouths above whispering to be brave
Even when I had dug my own grave.

Lying on the tear-soaked bed
My eyes gave in and closed
On a world I never left
Amongst the graveyard of promises.
Please leave some feedback. Be cruel.

promises to you are promises to me

to love and to cherish
I promise
to nurse and to heal
I promise
to laugh and to tickle
I promise
to see your true colors
I promise
to never break you and us
I promise
to forever and after that
I promise

You promised me we wouldn't fight
But the words you used like ammunition in a machine gun, were not ones of love
 You promised me everything would be alright
But now we're sleeping separately
 You promised me our future was bright
But all that I can see are dark days ahead
 You promised me that we would talk
But your silence is speaks louder than your tongue
 You promised me I was your everything
But apparently everything was your code for nothing
 You promised me your love
 You promised me a home in your arms
 You promised me...
 You promised me you'd never break your promises
 With all these broken promises I should leave , but I keep quiet and still believe you
Now Im just another broken piece, like all the promises you swore to keep
No one deserves this pain

What you said to me,
I promise I'll see you again,
Is a promise I hope you'll keep.

Why is it everytime I see you I skip a heart beat and loose a breath?
No matter how much we try I know,
We won't Forget each other till Death...
Silence is all we have Now...
And I still remember the day When we Said Our Last 'Ciao'...

When I Close my Eyes, I see a picture of Us Laughing...
Was that really Us? Now I am doubting...
I look back and miss those Memories
And we both knew, we were like Mac and Cheese...

So now here we Are
Somewhere really really Far
After all that we promised each other this all seems Bizarre...
