we are over.
not in the way you say we are.
i will not wait like a dog
for you to open the door.
for too long you've left me in the rain
pawing at the door and whimpering
while you took care of that stray
i get she needs you more than i do,
but you can't just leave me out here.
you chose me.
so it's time to start acting like it.
but we are over.
the night you locked the door on me,
all i wanted was the key.
i thought if i said "i love you"
in just the right way
you'd let me in
but then i realized
i am not yours
i refuse to fall into this trap
like the stray you love oh so much
i was whole before you
i will learn to become whole without you.

you told me you could see lifetimes in my eyes
you told me my fingers painted galaxies on your skin
you told me we would be okay
so now what am i supposed to believe?
the moon weeps for us
the stars look down in sorrow
they have lost their shine
the same ones we danced beneath
now mourn our demise
the same ones we laughed up to
and told secrets to
and whispered cotton candy promises to
now do not believe in love.
the galaxies i once painted on your skin
call us liars

You steal my drugs
Take my money
You look at me and think
"What's wrong, honey?"
Go behind my back
Feed me ******* lies
I can never confront you
So I let it out and cry
You try to make me happy
In doing what you please
But don't you ever notice,
I'm everything but at ease
Your mad at me when I'm "not happy"
But that's because im "being ******"
You've tried to mend these broken strings
But all you've done is break my wings
You ******* druggies
I can't take it anymore
I'm ready to leave
Break open a new door
One with a life of trust and respect
Where my life won't be
Such a wreck
It's my fault for enabling you
But you tugged at my heart strings
Guilt tripped me two for two
And here I am back at the start
Trying to build back up
What keeps falling apart
There's only so many times
I'll keep going around
Until Ive done my time
And I'm ready to bound
No respect or privacy for own things. My prescriptions are my business, mine. Does anyone have boundary or respect for their own daughter? Their own sister? What happened to such novelties... The worst part is this isn't the first time. My naivety for Hope is growing thin in the time of blind rage fury. I wish I would know better not to let them break down my walls I've built to keep them out smh

If you want recognition, buy it!
Wow, I guess all of my poems are going to
"****" from here on, but I will still "post them"
Anyway, because they are worthy of their own existence,
And I've got nothing against writing my feelings,
Real fame is brought about by skill, not monetary expense.

Blood reigns from
My flickering eyelash
As he tells me it's "okay"
But how can it be
When each day I am
Grovelling
To your stainless shoes
In my pain
You come to hush and soothe
But it turns to stinging and crying
Am I not the one you love
Am I not the one you adore
I guess not
Because even though
We are both freaks of nature
An abomination by modern society
I have come to turn
That ore mature love
Into consistent anger
Now it's my turn to cause pain
Because my fire has re kindled
And I am ready to start
Burning your life down.

I dive and I sigh
where the sea meets the sky,
in the horizon reflected
on the surface of her eyes.

We're carried away by
a tepid receding tide
of the memories tied
to this time and place.

She fades.

The moon calls me,
whispers my name
into the vapid night,
I eventually came.

Yet it's never been the same,
basking in that forgotten light
illuminating my opaque pain,
it's just not right.
:)
One simple word
Along with a digital smile
Has the power over me
To make me jump up and down
As if I’m still a preteen
Speaking excitedly to my first crush
But I’m older and have more experience
Still the idea of spending time with them
Brings my heart to full speed
And my inner innocence fills with joy
I feel so uncensored with them
There never really seems to be a need
Well I won’t say that I don’t need them
It doesn’t matter if my innocence or experience is speaking
I need them in some way
Weather to have clean fun
Or something more exciting

We've all got problems,
You and I.
We've all got secrets,
some truths, some lies. *

Yes its true,
you've got things on your mind.
But don't think for a second,
I didn't give you my time.

While you rambled on,
I was always there.
Comforting, protecting,
Did you even care?

I put you first,
I did what was asked.
And now you tell me,
our friendship won't last??

You said I never shared
a piece of my mind.
Oh, I'm sorry I'm too busy!
I was just being kind.

You always spoke,
I merely supported.
You had to many problems,
I did not want to add.

Yet now you say,
I was never trusting.
That I kept to myself,
Finding them amusing.

I hate being rejected,
I am never appreciated.
You think I'm mad?
You're just overrated.

It's like a ringing in my ear.

I'm stupid
stupid
stupid
stupid

Ringing through my ear and
Silence is a choking cough pushing to get out.
I need the drumming electronic waves
to deathen my body.

For I took my regular pill of
Self pity today.
It kicks in with its usual velocity
and I lay down mesmerized by its tranformation of the world.

I fear that when I open my eyes
He is not the same.
That his too rough strokes pulling my hair and
His semi sweaty hand on my face
that smells a hint of balony
is all just
Make belief.

How many times was fantasy a
Sanctuary
Maybe it finally consumed my reality
Since this must be some kind of
Heaven
This life of misery
With somebody here with me.

She was everything but stupid
Even now, she's not stupid
She's just falling in love
with the wrong guy
