Handsome
Swimmer101 May 2017
I searched for you
In the eyes of the cashier
In the eyes of the lady on her phone
In the eyes of anyone willing to let me search

I couldn't find you
the spark that gripped me
the shine the captivated me in awe
the windows that showed me the soul I fell in love with

Your soul was the loveliest of souls
Pure, Honest, Compassionate, Trustworthy
Pretty much everything God could want in a human being
An absolutely beautiful type of being that made love feel real

Are you searching for me too?
Are you wondering where your baby girl went?
Are you tearing through confused crowds yelling my name?
Do you feel every cell in you telling you that something is wrong?

Because I'm always looking for you
I'm always wondering where you went handsome
I'm fighting my bed sheets at night, screaming your name
Every cell I contain tells me that something is terribly wrong

When I find you handsome, I won't let go
I'll love you beyond the infinities separating us
The heart wrenching deadly cries will finally end
I'm waiting for the day I find you, my handsome
Handsome, please come back, Handsome please

Promise
Swimmer101 May 2017
Earbuds blasting
Curls cascading down her back like a waterfall
Her black swimsuit shapes her broken frame
hugging her tight
Tighter than he did during her sleepless nights
She stood staring at the abandoned pool in front of her
Her eyes became a steady relentless stream
Filling the desolate expanse
She crumpled to her knees, emotionless
No one came here
To the empty pool
Or the girl who filled it with her tears, just to swim
Every tear held what she saw with him
Everything she experienced with him
The way he said, I love you
How he held her close when he taught her to kiss
Not yet in the pool
She already held her breath
To keep from drowning
Crawling towards the pool of tears
She looked inside
The boy was looking right back at her
One smile was all it took
Shattered, broken, irredeemable
The pool dragged her in
And she laid herself next to him
Promising to never leave
Kissing him
Just like how he taught her
I really miss you handsome

Sweetheart
Swimmer101 May 2017
Run faster
Maybe you could leave behind his kind face
Beat the pavement one step at a time
Maybe you can beat his kind face away
The cold gust of wind bites your skin
The way he nibbled your lower lip
The wind gently brushes your hair back
The way his hand did when he looked into your brown eyes
Your hands clench and sweat
Like when he pulled you close, and whispered
I love you
Your eyes begin to water
Remembering
That he was gone forever
Stop
Let your arms hang limp
Let your legs stop sweetheart
Stare at the trees towering above you
Reminding you of how small you are in this universe
Because somewhere that boy you love
He just wants you to stop, and enjoy the scenery
Because that boy understands how quickly
It
All
Disappears

Deadly Thoughts
Swimmer101 Oct 2017
“You’re a terrible person”
No I’m not
“ You’re so stupid”
Stop it
“ Nobody likes you”
But... they do
“Why would they want something broken?”
I..am..not..broken
“He’s too good for you”
Tell me something I don’t know
“You’re not supposed to hear us sweetie, you’re crazy”
...........
“Exactly, just end it now, end it all”
“Stab us out of your head”
“Watch us pour out of your wrists”
“Jump off the ledge, silence us”
“Choke us out, grip your throat and squuueeeezzzee”
“End it, you have nothing to live for”
Well it’s just another day to having to listen to you guys and I am stronger than you think.

Honestly, Dont
Swimmer101 May 2017
Stop calling me beautiful
Don't organize my things
Ignore your urge to kiss me
Forget about giving me goodnight texts
Don't tell me your deepest secrets
You shouldn't try to understand me
I may be an *******
but your the hemorrhoid irritating the **** out of me

They're Watching
Swimmer101 May 2017
Don't forget to smile
Keep on smiling
Make sure to laugh
Nod your head like you care
No don't say anything
They prefer their voices, not yours
Look happy, they're watching
Smile, laugh, nod, smile
Repeat
Okay they're gone
You can stop now
You can stop
Stop
STOP
It's not good pretending something your not
All the time
So please, stop
To all those people who get lost in the person they're not, stop.

Standing across the room

Cure
Swimmer101 Oct 2017
I don’t know what you see
I took you in selfishly
I used you without need
I threw you out blindly

Yet, you came back
Held me and whispered, “forever”
You took me in your arms
More cautious then before

Insisting I’m above any girl you’ve met
Despite what everyone says, you want me
I love you so much, I’ll be better
I’ll make you the first thing I do right

I’ll cherish you and understand
I will not give up and always be there
I’ll make sure I’ll ignore those suicidal thoughts
I’ll live for you my love

I’ll wake up and ignore the pills
I’ll walk with my head up
You’re something worth living for
Someone worth waking up for

You’re the cure to these deadly thoughts
#thanks

What can you say?
Swimmer101 May 2017
When asked what they see in you
They'll say
Your smile is trustworthy
You give mom hugs
Your looks captivate
You excel in nearly everything
You exude confidence
You are perfect
But
There's things they don't know
Like, how you tell lies
How you sneak out for a fix
How you manipulate to get what you want
How you fight with the voices in your head
But
what can you say?
That girl in the mirror
The one that smiles a lot
The one whose heart is too big for her
The one who tries to make others happy
The one nobody can imagine sad or lonely
One stain
Two stain
Dropping like tears
When will they notice?
That it's your wrists
Crying for you
I saw you. You didn't even bother hiding it anymore.

I’m dying
You’re dying
we’re all dying

Take that in
Let it marinate
Let it remind you there is an end

Ignore
Swimmer101 May 2017
I stopped caring about you
The way I used to
I no longer scan crowds for you
Like I used to

I treat you like a friend
Not a special friend
Just, that friend
The one I ignore  

I see you, and wonder why?
Do you feel the need to make me jealous
Does it look like I't'd bother me
If another girl was in your arms

You're just you
That spark I saw is gone
Intense feelings? Dead
Your jokes aren't even that funny anymore

You still do cute things sometimes though
Like trying to dance when a song you like is on
Or whispering corny things to yourself
And tapping your foot when you're upset

I can't completely ignore you
After all,
I did once care for you
In a way that drove me to insanity

However, if you tried to build what was destroyed
Nothing would be the same
I wouldn't be the infrastructure holding us
And being the pretty paint isn't going to be enough this time

When I Missed You
Swimmer101 May 2017
I missed you
My heart ached
My eyes turned to waterfalls
My stomach clenched to knots
My voice refused to make sound
My mind refused to leave you
My sleep was denied
My chest tightened
My hands turned numb
My breath was uneven
My legs gave out
My hair was crazier than usual
My face was red
My heart bled
I wished I was dead
That was before, when I missed you

Idiot
Swimmer101 May 2017
Where did she go?
I can't find her?
Sweetheart, where are you?
Are you hiding?

No, I'm right here idiot
You lost me when you left for that shiny toy
Don't search for me now
I decided getting lost in my own shine
Was better than being stuck with a blundering fool

Marrow of Purity
Swimmer101 Oct 2017
Please let me go
It’s not something I can end
I started this, and can’t stop
I take one look and bathe myself
With your purity

I am an unholy being
Craving the good in this world
******* the marrow from your bones
To get every ounce from you

I’m caught in a fiery love
Torn between leaving you for dead
Or staying with you
Slowly taking with regret

Nothing gets better than seeing you happy
Looking into those brown depths of love
How is it that my unholy self
is the only one that notices it?

That you're everything a person hopes to be
You remind me I’m a monster
But when your lips open
They whisper, “do your worse”

You challenge my deadly voices
Believing you love me endlessly
What a fool
You don’t have any idea what I’ve done

Don’t let me drain you of good
Hold strong and let me go
If you really loved me
You’d let me go

No Contact Rule
Swimmer101 Mar 2018
What is your value?
What motivates you?
Do you not have a clue?
I was in that position too

I lost myself
In the desires of impulsiveness
Putting my dignity at the back of a shelf
Allowing my heart to explore a primitive wilderness

I wanted it
I was okay with any outcome
I needed it
It'd have only been some

I began to make my first step
To fulfill my temptations
The most important thing I've kept
Was lost in a place better not to mention

The ups and downs of it all
was diving my mind to the pit of the insane
My self security became three inches tall
The situation had provided no gain

I hadn't ever felt this affliction
Not even my patterned past
Could compare to the confused affection
Every moment I had felt like a task

That's when everything ended
Five months later I was still in pain
I had decided to put a complete end
To every access of the memories stained

I now need my time to  heal
to learn self-respect, self-love, and control
I wish there was a backspace for how I feel
This no contact is taking it's toll

I dont expect it to break from the other side
My drug doesn't need me
I couldv'e drowned in all the tears cried
I am young, dumb, and have chosen to let the past be

Finally
Swimmer101 Sep 2017
I smiled looking into your dark eyes
laughed as you fumbled around unknown territory
and kissed, as you blushed embarrassed
Of the way your breath grew unsteady with wandering hands

I've seen you in my dreams
gazing at me with a hungry fire
providing promises
that made my heart skip beats

I held your handsome face in my small hands
Your body laid against mine for warmth
Snuggling closer as though you can meld into me
We'd whisper our thoughts for the future

I'd want a big house in the mountains
You'd want two sons
I'd have time to travel and dance
You'd have a career of building and engineering

I wanted you to be mine forever
You said the same
I had to hide you from everyone
for us to be together

Distance and time made you weary
I struggled with my grip on you
Your eyes would find another resting place
My heart would devolve into the empty void again

Your hand suddenly left mine
My lips lost its tilting smile
Your heart sauntered  away
Finally, mine left a gaping hole

Faith
Swimmer101 Oct 2018
The fortress upholding your faith collapses
A darkness barrages it’s way inside
Your thoughts become thundering drums
Your skin trembles as the sound resonates
A fight for control and a loss to selfishness
There’s a war raging between deception and actuality
ignorance becomes sweet
And the facts increasingly bitter
What it has to offer is captivating and misleading
Weak eyes are now covered with a thick film
Empty stares, empty words, and empty actions are the result
You’re a modern day Mona Lisa with these smiles
What were you thinking?
You became disoriented in the moments
Your illusions depict happiness
Those lies sustain you, quenching an insatiable thirst
desires burn brighter than reason
Questions never feel answered because the truth is suppressed
Those rants in the mirror are meaningless if your actions are dormant
The person shouting back is someone You can’t recall
submerged by what could be and loving the idea of dreams
A decision against faith with delusions of grandeur waste you away
You realize you need help
laying down with streaming tears and an open heart, you whisper a prayer
You find a piece of who you are and make your solution exist
You leave, You reject, and you cry until you cant cry anymore
You set the darkness on fire behind a glass door and see how inhuman it is
When the ashes have drifted away, You feel unbalanced
You couldn’t remember how to live with faith in something better
You lost what you wanted and miss what you don’t need
You were led astray and are finding your way back again
Committing yourself to God rather than sin is your first step

— The End —
