They locked me away
Cause I was crazy
Said I took too many pills.
Somedays I just screamed
And cried
And forgot pay all
The bills
I lost myself trying
To survive on my own
And deal with the
Chatter in my brain
All I could remember
Were the days I tried to dull
The pain.
Angry, shattered and
All alone
I cried on the floor out loud
The day they set me free
was the day
I swore I’d make them proud.

                  -Larissa Frost

In the woods
You took it from me
I’m quite sure
I took it from
You
With a 10 cent
******
A lifetime perception
Of what they told
Me was the greatest
Show
Was reduced to
Intermission.

                    -L.Frost

Thoughts of you
Still smolder
In the ashes of
a forgotten ******
That never
Was.

             -L. Frost

There’s this story
In my head
Where I lock my heart up
Tight
And you try every key
And can’t get in despite
How hard you try
To let me know
We are meant to be together.
That story is just sweeter
Than not loving me
Forever.

                     -L. Frost

Our souls crossed
And told the lies
We’d be together
But then the cries
Wailed from hearts
Breaking in denial
Who thought
They’d withstand the
Trial of
Time.
Turns out souls don’t wait
They dissipate
And leave the wreckage
Behind.

                       -L.Frost

Today the words
Wouldn’t come out
I swear I just spoke
Noise
I’m exhausted and can
No longer adult
Someone just bring out
The toys.

                  - L.Frost

I wished for
Sleep
To rest my soul
Instead
Thoughts of you
Burned a hole
In the center of
My passion
And they danced around
Screaming
When will you
Love me.

               -L.Frost
