❝to me❞
Marsha Nov 2018
to me,
you are
an art

                              to you,
                              I was
                              a tragedy
you still remain, and will always be
a fine piece of art
to me.
// edit: thank you for having this in the daily. ♡

❝album❞
Marsha Feb 2019
you told me to love all of my scars,
that they are victory marks
from all the battles I've overcome in my life.
that they are meaningful, beautiful,
every cut and every mark has its own story,
they mould me into who I am today.
because of you, I slowly learn to
embrace them, one by one; kiss them all,
now I cherish every single one of them; I love them all.
even when you, my dearest one, have begun to
add new ones - onto my face, my body -
into my collection.
know when to leave, people. know the dangers, know the warning signs.
please. do not stay in an abusive relationship, please.

❝let me be yours❞

your cigarette

touch
your lips

let me be
your addiction

that you could never
try
to quit

❝coexistence❞
Marsha Jan 2019
I am the moon
you are the Sun
without you, I am merely darkness
my glow is only an illusion
to the eyes of those
who do not see right through me
the true source of light is you
selfless, you give parts of yourself to me
and never once asked for anything in return
I shine so brightly because of you
you let the world see and admire my beauty
when in reality, you illuminate me
Thank you for giving your all to me ♡

You taste of fireworks, and galaxies.

❝Creatures of Earth❞
Marsha Feb 2019
What have you, that I not have
To claim superiority (over me)
When you and I both bleed the same red?
Underneath the skin, we're all the same.

❝fire within❞
Marsha Dec 2018
Mom always warned me
not to play with fire.
If only she knew
that I was the flame,
she would have warned
the others
not to light me up.

❝unstoppable❞
Marsha Oct 2018
you crushed my heart
and you ripped my soul
to pieces

you destroyed
every part of me
in the most beautiful way
possible

but that can never
stop me
from falling in love
try harder next time

❝words like knives❞
Marsha Nov 2018
your words
like knives
they cut
through my skin
they hurt me
more
than I'll ever admit
they've fooled me
once, twice;
fooled me all the time
they lie
they poison
the beautiful me
within

❝tarnished❞

we are all beautiful
even if we are lonely
just like the moon.
and even in the darkness
we still shine so bright
from within.

❝monsters❞
Marsha Nov 2018
silly child,
there are no monsters
in the closet
or under your bed.

the worst kind
of monsters
are those
(already) living
inside your head.
Be afraid of your own self, maybe?

❝beauty❞
Marsha Oct 2018
your beauty
could
topple
all kingdoms

and you'll have
the
entire world
at your feet
Believe me when I say you are beautiful.
Trust me when I say you are.
Believe me when I say the entire world will be at your feet.
Trust me when I say they will.

❝how could you not❞
Marsha Nov 2018

I'm right here,
but you're busy
looking elsewhere
for love

how could you
miss me?

how could you not
see me?
how could you not
want me?

how could you not
love me?

I just wish you could have noticed me...

❝letting go❞
Marsha Nov 2018
my dear,
there are plenty of things
in life
that you must learn

learn
to let go
not only of
those people you've loved before
or the many stuff you used to own

you must learn
to let go of
the things that are
stopping you or holding you back
from being
who you truly are
Be not who "they" want you to be.

❝a book❞
Marsha Oct 2018
I wrote a book
that's entirely

I was

in yours
You were my whole book...

❝Obliviate❞
Marsha Mar 2020
I write your name on my cigarette, light it up, and smoke it away.
I fill my lungs with nicotine,
I taste the burn in my throat,
as I try to erase every memory of you.
I want to forget your eyes, your lips, your scent,
erase every **** thing about you, and cleanse my mind.
I take one deep, long drag,
and smoke all thoughts of you away.
356 · Nov 2018
❝no matter what❞
Marsha Nov 2018
you and I,
we will brave through
the storms
and

together
What's love if you don't stick around through the tough times?

❝heartstings❞
Marsha Oct 2018
I miss that jolt in my heart
and butterflies fluttering in my stomach
feels I used to get when I was with you
Now it's just
sting in my heart
and bees buzzing in my stomach
everytime I see you

❝what I'm good at❞
Marsha Oct 2018
I wrote
all my
heartaches
into words
and that's probably
the only thing
I'm good at,
since you said
I wasn't good
at
loving you.
