It's this terrible ache
Worse than any break up
You've become replaced
You went to every party
Every dance
Every game
Together
Cried and laughed
Now (s)He got someone else
Doing the same with someone else
Loving and posting someone else
You got replaced
It's different that's your bestfriend
Was your bestfriend

Inspired love

emilywinter Sep 2017

Inspired love

You say I am you're everything...
I am your stars you whisper,
I am your moon ,
The words brush my skin,
I am your world,
The lies sink in.
I begin to believe your love.
It grows in me like a vine around a tree.
You have become everything in between.
All the darkness around stars,
The air that fills my lungs,
The love that fills my heart,
The sweet whispers on my skin.
You will be my end.

Pretty Ugly

emilywinter Sep 2017

Pretty Ugly

Held down in every way.
My heart stops.
You cut into my clean skin.
You wrote on my empty canvas.
You littered in my ocean.
You tainted me.
You took my world and shoved it onto the stairs,
and cut it out from me.
You walk with my blood on your hands,
Like a ******* trophy.
Everyone smiled.
Then said,
That is the price you pay,
For being a pretty girl in an ugly world.

One Step Over

One Step Over

I walk with grass tickling my feet.
I walk with a breeze cooling my body.
I walk and inhale the sweet smell of honey suckle.
I walk and take in the purple blooming from the green.
Some find it simple to forget.
One Step Over...
The hard concrete, like cancer,
Spreads over the soft bodies of grass.
One step over smog drowns my lungs in its venom.
One step over my comfort kills,
What I've come to love.
Soft to rough.
Green to grey.
Life to death.
That is all we've become.

Wish Upon A Star

Wish Upon A Star

My lungs seem to close.
Sometimes i wish they never had opened.
My heart seemed to break.
I wish it was never made.
When i try to fulfill these wishes...
They seem to think I'm insane.
I dont know why i never asked for this.
It was forced upon me.
Im selfish for wanting to die?
Is it not selfish to force me to breathe?

Lines

Lines

lines
the lines we've crossed
love lines
life lines
flat lines
You know whats really sad?
When you cant tell the pain in your chest.
Anxiety?
or is that the heartache you left me with.....

Nobody

emilywinter Sep 2017

Nobody

Green as your eyes they tickle my feet.
  Smell as sweet as yours,
   wind as soft as your hands on me,
    nature as beautiful as your love.
     Concrete like the walls you've built,
      harsh and rough.
       Smog from your cigarettes,
        which you've come to replace me with
         Maybe,
           like our environments,
            we build and destroy ourselves...
              for the same reason to escape a little faster.

Nightmare

emilywinter Sep 2017

Nightmare

Staying up late used to be a fun game.
who can last the longest,
we dared each other.
now its become dangerous,
the monsters under our bed,
seeped into our head,
dragging the razor blade across us.
we now try to hide in our dreams,
though their whispers of our faults keep us awake.
we used to beg to stay up...
now we want to go to sleep
and never wake up.
excuse me if a bottle of sleeping pills
have become more tempting
than a body fully of scars,
and a mind full of monsters...

— The End —
