i'm asking, yelling, shouting for a plea
but even with a loud voice, do you even hear me?

She  covered  her  ears  and  focused  on  her  deep  breathing. ­ The   sound  of  her  lungs  expanding  and  the  air  leaving  through­  her  clenched  teeth.  Trying  to  drown  out  the  sound  of  ­all  of  them  screaming.  The  vile  words  echoing  on  the  wo­oden  floors  of  the  house.  She  just  wanted  it  all  to  st­op.  So  she  kept  breathing,  surrounding  herself  with  the  ­sound  of  the  inhale,  exhale.  Inhale,  exhale.


Just

Keep

*B r e a t h i n g

When all that you need
is the company of ones soul,
and you cannot bear the sound
of your mothers yelling,
your devastating thoughts,
or the laughter,
know that I will be waiting.

If the world is deep in slumber,
I will remain by your side beneath the stars
until you find your way to reach them.

If the world is not yet still,
I will remain until the last light
flickers away, until you find comfort
in yourself.

Whether you are beneath or above
the constellations of the sky,
know that I will be waiting
until someday when you,
are amongst the brightest.
Until all of your dreams,
are finally true.

You told me you would make my life a fairytale.

I still remember as clear as water.
You saw through my sadness,
and offered me a hug.

I fell in love with you that day.

I shouldn't have believed you.
You used me,
cheated,
yelled.
You even dragged the L word out of me, a word I don't trust.

You killed the only thing in me that was alive.

I wish I hadn't met you.
I wish I hadn't fallen for you.

You told me you would make my life a fairytale,
but you never mentioned that you would be
the villain.
