that moment I first saw you
I knew I was in trouble
you were too handsome
far too smart and too sweet
I knew I was in denial
you said these words to me
that compelled me to fall for you
lies probably
but I listened anyway
knowing this could be fiction
but hoping it was the truth
ever since you left
I have realized that I miss you
ever since you left
I look for you everywhere I go
and ever since you left
you cannot escape my mind
I was told to stop looking
so I did
then you appeared
and I told myself
that I wasn't looking for you
but maybe I was
and maybe you fooled me
into thinking I was special
rare and wonderful
did you mean that at all
now I don't think so
I am stuck on you
already
and it scares me intensely
all my options seem wrong
I cannot leave you
but I cannot stay
when you held me that first night
I knew I would never let that feeling go
when you stared into my eyes
and asked me
"what are you thinking about?"
I knew I couldn't tell you
because I would look like a fool to say
"you"

So maybe I got riled up, and thought he was trying to steal my ****.

I don't work at Stop & Shop anymore, but I still
almost cried at those dogs,
on television.
The world is an impure place, but in times of trouble, you can always double your dose.

Trouble us. Forever.

As low, in your clever-minded excuses, to get out of your
parents' disapproval.
I bought so many
hallucinations, that I'm debating a few more.

Hope I remember writing these words. Scary to consider,
but there, nonetheless. The world is
melting into all sorts.
Colors, that I love.

Hope I remember writing these words, and the light,
reflecting off the ink,
in rainbows of black. The
ash, an impossibly-unforeseen consequence,
of the cigarette. The
cancer is laughed off. And you had forgotten my name.

Cutting up the canvas, she called it, "blood," even though, by a trained-eye, it lacked.  
Any tactic will take flight.
Take care to catch yourself when your wax melts onto your owned face.
Not your practiced one.

Loving you is
like
enjoying the smell of sharpie
even though it's bad for you
like
touching something
that says do not touch
like
getting in trouble
then doing it again
like
getting wasted even though
you know the hangover will be horrible
Loving you
is just asking for trouble
but I do it anyways.
Trying out some new format. I like it.

Beauty stares at me so senselessly
Thinking herself born a daughter of ugly
She's aggressive, impulsive, but gentle and caring
Who couldn't see anything more beautiful than her in sun lit mornings and perfect sceneries of golden sunsets
The Universe couldn't spin anything more perfect
Couldn't create anyone better
Trouble finds beauty to be priceless, following her everywhere, trying to obtain her in his claws
But the important thing is, beauty has no laws
Wrote this way back in the beginning of August.

I find myself in trouble
Because im always thinking about you
Do you think about me too
When you hear a song about love
do you see my golden eyes in the sun
The way it was way back when
You always used to curse mama
For warning you about drugs and
Forgetting the most potent one
One with soft lips, fire hot skin and
Hazel eyes

I think about trouble
And you come to mind
How it troubles me you're never here
Troubles me I can't remember your voice
And you can probably recall mine

Sounds of silence
Is something wrong?
Should have heard something...
It's been too long.

Could get a phone call
Its  turning into night
Still not a word,
I hope that they are alright.

Pacing the room
Worried and upset
Where could she be so long?
In trouble, I bet.

The car broke down,
It's out of gas
She's out there stranded
Or been in a crash.

Why not a phone call
To ease my mind
She lets me worry
All the time

Should I call the hospitals?
Should I call the cops?
The telephone rings
My heart stops.

Who could it be?
I pray she's alright.
"Hi, mom.  It's me
I'm spending the night."

"Ok, baby
Thanks for the call
Was I getting worried?
No, not at all."
i was given a title and asked to write about sounds of silence and the most intense silence in the world to me is worrying,not knowing what has happened to a loved one and why you have not heard from them.
that space of time you wait is torture and the relief is enormous when
they are OK.
thoughts to dump Sep 2015
There's summer in the strands of my hair.
You convince yourself, you will never fall for me;
Autumn leaves dance around my legs,
You try to keep your stares away.
My lips are frost,
You always like how it tastes
Sweet as wine, bitter as scotch.
I am the thorns but not the roses in spring
And you are not the rainbow after the rain.

From my traumas was born a feeling.
A desire that came way too early.
Curiosity introduced pleasure.
And once it was found, control was beyond measure.
If I told you I was so young that I hadn't yet even shaved,
Yet I was touching myself under my desks back in third grade.
Wanting the attention of a boy,
Wanting to be wanted to feel loved and enjoyed.
Progression through time had me messaging all these guys,
They wanted me and I wanted that and as time went by,
Messages turned to descriptions and those turned into pictures,
The guys turned into men and there were so many of them.
I don't know if I love to please or if I just love them wanting me,
But I have to do it and I can't control it,
Who has been through this who really knows it?
Abuse made it worse because I wanted to be loved.
First time having *** was the first hit of my drug.
I couldn't stop there I had to have more.
I didn't want their time I really just wanted to score,
Like I had no respect or I had no beliefs,
Just giving myself to the people who deeply attracted me.
I would get aroused looking at someone and my mind would begin to imagine.
And of course the next day with a stranger you know what happened.
And i never felt ashamed i felt great i felt so happy.
I had to do it again until i did and it felt ******.
It got worse,
I couldn't say no.
Like my mind wanted to stay but my body made me go.
I even have to do it when I'm all alone,
*** is my addiction
you'd think i wanna quit but I don't.
It's a problem, it really is,
It's dangerous and I know.
But I can't help myself and I can't get enough

And sleep in spite of thunder
Throw jewels in my open grave
I won't smile but I will wave
And sleep in spite of thunder

And rest in spite of turmoil
Even in dark hours
Greet my grave with yellow flowers
And rest in spite of turmoil

And be soothed in spite of trouble
Visit my stone in pastures shy
Send my tomb azure shards of sky
And be soothed in spite of trouble

My future is all planned out
But not by me
My parents took it upon themselves , y'see
They want me to succeed
But not at something that interests me
"You'll never work a day in your life
If you truly love your job"
If that's so then I suppose
Work is all my life will ever be
If you won't let what I do
Be decided by me
