"hopelessly" poems
I'm in love with a man I know not to love, his heart will never be free. I waste my days a slave to his ways- knowing he will never love me. He is the secret I can never reveal, the best lover I ever have known. I've nothing to give but my body.....it's his- fresh dirt for him to bury his bone. Hopelessly hooked on him like a drug, wanting him day and night. I play his ***** game I have no shame- taking it all, knuckles white. Dead is the conscience I knew so well, and morals.....they ran far away. Clarity now blurry in a love-drunk slurry- the 'good me' has gone astray. To lay with him is playing with fire, the flames...they burn me alive. Leaving me marred hurting and scarred- the pain on which I thrive. A fool for punishment I beg for more, even if all I am worthy of is **** Loving him breaks me it overtakes me- but I'm not willing to quit. I die a little more with each passing day, until again, I get lost in those eyes.... All doubts go away so for now I'll stay- living this life of lies.

Life of Lies
"i'm watching you, stupid ***** Madison pointed at pyper as the girls made there way out of the dining room. "thats enough madison." Cordelia scolded. Nan followed pyper up the stairs into her bedroom. "why are you following me?" pyper asked, looking at nan in disgust. rolling her eyes and shaking her head. "you have madisons money." nan crossed her arms and smiled. "excuse me??" pyper replied as if she were offended by Nans accusation. "mhm, and you have zoeys sunglasses.., cassies ipod, and 25 dollars you stole from emilys purse. along with her art pencils." nan replied. "wow, you're A cleptomaniac." Nan laughed. "okay, how do you know all of this???" Pyper asked, her cheeks red from embarissment, and her head lowered in shame. "i'm psychic. i can read minds." nan explained. suddenly cassie walked past pypers room in search of her stolen ipod. "has anyone seen my pink ipod???" Cassie questioned, it was sitting on my bed, and now i can't find it anywhere. " she looked around hopelessly. "well then look in your room cassie. give me 5 minutes and i'll help you look." pyper shouted. "wow, you're a real piece of work arent you?" nan rolled her eyes and chuckled. "what is your angle, nan?" Pyper questioned, rolling her eyes aswell. saying names name as if she were mocking the whole idea of her. "my angle, PYPER. is this, you give everyone there **** back or i'm telling cordelia and you're out of here." Nan smerked. "you're not going to tell on me anyway?" pyper asked sadly. "no, not onless you do it again." nan sighed, "we stick together here, we're a family, we don't steele eachother down thats not what we're about." nan explained sympatheticly. "wow, thats funny because that's all my real family ever did." pyper replied with big sad puppy dog eyes. nan nodded, "i'm not here to listen to your ******** excuses or your sob stories. if saying that you've had a hard life, and never had anything given to you. and the world owes you. helps you get to sleep at night then fine, cool beans. but i'm not buying that shit. and these girls don't owe you anything. now, i expect everyone to have there **** back by the morning, or i will tell cordelia." nan sighed and rolled her eyes. "okay." pyper nodded with a wounded look upon her face. Cassie stood outside of the door, still listening. her eyebrows raised in anger. and then made her way up the stairs and into madisons room. "what are you doing here pipsquick. im NOT in the mood." Madison sobbed. "oh i think you're in the mood for this, i know who took your money." Cassie smiled.

She lays awake, Trembling in the dark Whispers echoing around, Cracking the glass Shiny liquids fall slowly From eyelids to floor Hopelessly awaiting For a knock on the door The darkness surrounds Each and every soul The girl's heart melting For it couldn't bear breaking As the light made its way Through the cracked glass The tiny fetal form Breathed in a rasp Soon the weak heart Slowed the last beat The cracked window opened Spreading the heat But the darkened eyes Light had no more The soul had wandered To the deadly shore

Gone With The Wind
Take me to the art museum and kiss me by the paintings, Take me to the deeper parts of the oceans, so deep that any coral reef will be jealous that we will survive, Take me to that little ice cream shop my parents use to go on dates to when they were hopelessly in love and I'll let you order your favorite ice cream, Take me to the Chinese restaurant where my schizophrenic grandmother use to take me on late night outings and I'll kiss you in every booth, take me to New Jersey, to that beach where your parents stood in the same room and introduced you to home, take me to your bed, talk to me about those parts of your body not everyone gets to meet, take me to an abandoned hospital and let me take your blood on a canvas and make it resemble the Mona Lisa, so that people years from now glorify us, take me to the hill where I first tried ******* and let's make our hearts beat in sync with the breath of the flowers surrounding us, take me to that bench in the school gym where we met and kiss me, kiss me like you've never kissed anyone before, kiss me as if it'll be the last lips you ever touch, kiss me as if your life depended on it, take me to the edge of the universe and I'll show you the end of my love.

Take me
You have your hopes, dreams and desires for someone, Locked deep within your golden heart. Hopelessly crying for their attention, Endless time spent imagining the perfect future, Will not bring you any closer to what you want. Do whatever the **** you want, It's not like you're gonna get out Alive.

Whatever the **** it takes
Pathetic parasite of a woman perpetuates love indefinitely, a plague upon hopelessly romantic people. A performance. Smiling, always. Hates good news and sleeps around, sleeps surrounded in black light. Wearing sunglasses. Her day is nighttime. She breathes aesthetic, instagram posts to survive. But thrives, only. The numb gummed princess cries every day and yes. She said it, even a hundred times but language proves flexible. Same words mean different things and we obviously don’t speak the same language. I meant mine. I didn’t know she’d sell hers for snow. Fame. Attention from strangers. Welcome home. Winter came and stayed, love never lived here.

Perverse.
They say the pen is mightier than the sword If this is true then God was the sword and you were a pen And I was the pencil who laid you a foundation of erased mistakes only for you to trace upon them as if they didn't exist. And I was cast in the bottom of some cluttered bag while you were gently capped and placed in a box lined with blue silk, And you knew I would always be there to test the waters before you spilled the pages with your brash delicacy. But you needed me and I craved you for completion. Together we created sweeping illustrations and lengthy novels with dozens of sequels. We depicted a tale of modern love in our ball-pointed journey. But my graphite stayed intact while your ink started to run out. I could see as our pages unfolded that your colors no longer spread as boldly. You became more and more invisible as I desperately etched harder and harder into every page hoping to give you clearer guidelines but you no longer had it in you. And soon enough we couldn't make anything beautiful. You had run out. And I'm still hopelessly drawing maps desperate that you can regain what you once had and use the indentations on previously blank pages to find your way back to me.

Dear exams, I'm sorry to say, but I've lost all interest in you. I don't see why I didn't lose interest in you sooner to be completely honest. I use to love learning new things and cramming useless information into my cranium, but I must say that forcing myself to study to pass your standards is just not who I am.There's no need to throw a question I cannot answer in my face whenever you're upset. Nor do I have to explain myself to you for that matter. Has anyone told you you ask a lot of questions? I must admit that I am not perfect, but neither are you. You are filled with errors and flaws that I must say are simple mistakes. I will always remember you, but I don't think my memory of you will be a fond one... I am grateful for all the support you've given me especially with my grades, but I will admit that understanding you was difficult. I remember hopelessly thinking about you all night after seeing you. I felt terrible because I literally had no idea how to go about answering your fifty questions. Even though you gave me choices it was still a difficult decision to make. I went home that night disappointed thinking that I had messed up my only chance with you. But now you're back, but I admit I am definitely not excited about it. And I will see you again today, which like I said I am not excited about. I guess that all we can ever be now is acquaintances. A student to exam relationship that definitely bares no love what so ever. I cannot wait to be done with you. As they say, there are a million exams in the library... And they should all be thrown away. P.S: The paper shredder was looking for you. Sincerely, The unhappy student

Daisies Are quite like people (or perhaps people are like daisies) In full bloom in the light But in the shade they hide away, Wallowing in self pity. Allowing themselves to be picked on and trampled into a million pieces, By letting people walk over them. So pretty Yet so humble, Their beauty goes unnoticed, even by themselves. Until one day someone treasures it and falls hopelessly in love with the humble daisy, Preferring it over the other daisies. Then finally the daisy shrinks to a tatty mess, no longer young and beautiful- Dead.

Trust Issues
Thousands of us were displaced Started careers late Not lucky enough to have had great jobs So we work hard Put ourselves through night school While taking care of family Finally ... Yes, yeah,  whoopee Did it ! Once again completed school Another certificate added to the growing list of achievements. More bills owed to uncle Sam Going on numerous job interviews No one's responding Instead ... All this knowledge stored in your head Current jobs pays minimum wages Those colleges attended; mounting When you try to get ahead  - They hold on to their employments As if, It's Rocket science Looking for younger, greener admits Once AARP comes a knocking on Your door You know they don't want your Expertise anymore What's one to do Still strong, healthy, seasoned Educated, no strings to boot Hopelessly stuck in a world of "We will call you " So at the tender age of fifty Thoughts of starting your own business floats in your head Right Now, back to school For another certificate A chance to use that knowledge Put bread on the table Feel useful Quality of life renewed.

I argue To harm you The protective computer screen Allows me to be rude or mean Without feeling your pain So it becomes a game Or a simulation of fame If I can ignore the shame The tread is wearing off the tire After the internet stripped The rubber off the telephone wire And we lost our loose grip After being shocked By the rest of the flock Their existence Shows a difference That is hard to accept We're not what we expect We push the boundaries of communication But we can't handle the technology I feel it gives me social immunization But I feel the darkness follow me And swallow me Until I'm wallowing Yet I don't know why I try to ignore it Only if it gets me high Will I be for it This utilitarian keyboard Should help me see more Instead it transcribes my anger As I turn into an electric stranger The words on my pixelated screen Do not reflect my childhood dreams But the bitterness of dreams being crushed My petulant reactions are thoughtlessly rushed And I represent my views in a negative way Until I'd be more useful with nothing to say There is a need for empathy In the electronic discourse Right now there is only entropy And words without remorse Spoken from a high horse That looks down on peasants who own it It's also a slave but doesn't even know it So it arrogantly trots along Never admitting that it's wrong Until it hears the slithering snakes rattle Then it doesn't mind wearing a saddle But the venom has already been injected And its mind becomes hopelessly infected We argue without blinking We argue without thinking We argue with poor logic Our ignorance we flaunt it Until the internet is haunted

I found myself stranded on Neverland with no way to fly and no star to show me the way 'till one night as I closed my eyes a shadow appeared and a boy close on his heels they tumbled and rolled before my feet Boy and Shadow became one and grinned at me "Peter Pan" he said to me playing a tune and swore he just wanted to talk for a while Laying amongst the tiger lilies I so adored and staring up at the stars He asked me to be his When I asked why he simply replied "I once saved you from Captain Hook." "I’ll keep you safe." "I promise you’ll never be lonely.” Foolishly, I agreed and he took me to his Hiding Tree where spiteful Tinkerbell tried to be rid of me for I was Self-Composed, Human & Withdrawn, everything she was not. He taught me how to fly, showed me every nook and cranny of his world by moonlight. And I fell in love with the way, his eyes shone like fireflies and his pure and genuine laugh. He was enthralling and magnetic always so carefree and reckless How wonderful it was 'Till Wendy bird came along for she was Kind, Romantic & Empathetic everything I was not all I could do was watch as they flew through Neverland by moonlight She fell hopelessly in love with his recklessly playful nature and hypnotic charms Yet every night Wendy gazed down to see the girl with the crow feather in her hair laying amongst the flowers she was named with Tinkerbell by her side. Whenever she asked Peter why he simply replied “She is as Wild as she is Beautiful. She cannot be contained by the hollow walls of my Hiding Tree Nor the boundaries of her village." Then one night when Wendy bird left and Peter returned to Hangman’s Tree he found Tiger Lily gone. Every night he’d fly above Neverland only to glimpse her crow feather but all he found was an empty space belonging to her ghost whispering "Peter Pan Take my hand and fly away to Neverland where the beast within can be free" Tinkerbell never did say where she’d gone only to leave her be. Her wild beast no longer had a home. Peter Pan would never see her again He had broken his Lily's heart

I am a crumpled sheet of paper in the hands of my predators Their hands snaked around me, squeezing the life from my body, leaving me to collapse into their want Too young to realize, too weak to fight back ………                                                 He choose the game he wanted to play                                                 and I became a dice he could roll around                                                 in the palm of his hands                                           But this body is my temple, you lost                                               my game and there will never be round two ……… My own thoughts strangled me as my body refused to listen to my brain To touch my skin felt like fire burning through my veins, fire that ignited my predator Hopelessly sinking into the bed that became an ocean, water drowning me and continuously pulling me further down ………                                                          She destroyed my innocence where                                                        “playing house” meant I played victim                                                          and she played the predator                                                          But this body is my temple and you                                                          did not receive an invite to my                                                          house party ……… They had the power to take my dignity into the palm of theirs hands and crumble it up We are told when we crumble up a sheet of paper, you can never make it the way it was before ………                                                           He threw me over his shoulder like a                                                    rag doll and brought me to the place that                                      was once “my room”and is now “my nightmare”                                   But this body is my temple and not for you to play                                                  with like a doll you received on a holiday ……… Words disintegrating from my lips with the ashes of consent and destroying my trust for any human to touch my skin Circling the drain of intimacy ………                                                      They strapped me down and taught me                                                         that crying meant I was “asking for it”                                                              But this body is my temple and                                                              my words are louder than your lies ……… I wear the damage on my heart My body used against me more than the number of fingers on my hand ………                                                        But this body is my temple and when I                                                                            broke free of your *******                                                                    my temple grew taller than                                                                           your hands could touch me ……… I am a crumpled sheet of paper escaping the hands of my predator

I am a crumpled sheet of paper in the hands of my predators Their hands snaked around me, squeezing the life from my body, leaving me to collapse into their want Too young to realize, too weak to fight back ………                                                 He choose the game he wanted to play                                                 and I became a dice he could roll around                                                 in the palm of his hands                                           But this body is my temple, you lost                                               my game and there will never be round two ……… My own thoughts strangled me as my body refused to listen to my brain To touch my skin felt like fire burning through my veins, fire that ignited my predator Hopelessly sinking into the bed that became an ocean, water drowning me and continuously pulling me further down ………                                                          She destroyed my innocence where                                                        “playing house” meant I played victim                                                          and she played the predator                                                          But this body is my temple and you                                                          did not receive an invite to my                                                          house party ……… They had the power to take my dignity into the palm of theirs hands and crumble it up We are told when we crumble up a sheet of paper, you can never make it the way it was before ………                                                           He threw me over his shoulder like a                                                    rag doll and brought me to the place that                                      was once “my room”and is now “my nightmare”                                   But this body is my temple and not for you to play                                                  with like a doll you received on a holiday ……… Words disintegrating from my lips with the ashes of consent and destroying my trust for any human to touch my skin Circling the drain of intimacy ………                                                      They strapped me down and taught me                                                         that crying meant I was “asking for it”                                                              But this body is my temple and                                                              my words are louder than your lies ……… I wear the damage on my heart My body used against me more than the number of fingers on my hand ………                                                        But this body is my temple and when I                                                                            broke free of your *******                                                                    my temple grew taller than                                                                           your hands could touch me ……… I am a crumpled sheet of paper escaping the hands of my predator

We had come to see him, the aging Tenor sing. He was as good as he had always been. But half way through, a woman appeared, Moving gracefully in bare feet upon the stage. Entering the ring of bright spot light near him. Long blond hair, falling loose around her neck, Held back both sides by Turtle Shell combs, Reflecting the light. Adorned in but a simple, low cut black dress, Her with a face beautiful as a new spring day. Held in her left hand an ebony hued violin, Touched fondly, like a well accustomed old friend. Her right hand holding a bow, ready and waiting. The Tenor’s and her eyes met and conveyed a message Only they understood.  Then starting slow and low, The full Orchestra commenced. The woman in black Brought instrument up to her chin, lovingly resting her face upon it, as if comforted by it's touch to skin. The fetching violinist, like a graceful reed, In summer breeze, began to gently sway, Laid Bow to strings and a transcended beauty, The voice of both her Instrument and from within she, Emerged through her fingers, completely filling the hall. With eyes closed, the slight movements of expression On her face registering the feelings the musical notes made, As if those gestures too, guided the bow's musical cords. Slender precise fingers lovingly caressing the strings. For nearly a minute, she and her violin played alone. Her actions of body, hands and head in concert, To her music, unavoidably hypnotic it could be said. The Tenor started to sing, and yet my eyes stayed Locked on her, as if no one else in the room was there. The blond woman in the black dress owned the stage. I have no idea how long that piece of music lasted, I could not attest to what contribution the Tenor made. Fully my attention and eventually my heart belonged To that lovely, evocative young woman in the backless, Little black dress. It’s true that I may never see or hear her play again, I know not, even her name. And yet, I’m sure that I will never forget those Few minutes mesmerized by her magical spell. Hopelessly caught in her enchanting web. With me sitting, third row, isle seat left, Worshiping as I did, at her so pretty, Slightly ***** naked feet, the striking Blond woman in the black dress.

Hopeless Overthinker
I know the heart is a heavy thing and if today you managed to lift it a few inches off the ground, I am proud. You need to understand that there are no turning points. Your life is not a movie and your fears will not disappear as soon as someone loves you back. There are only moments when the glimmer of light you are chasing seems closer than the darkness that is always chasing you but in these moments every single thing has been worth it. And I know sometimes you only want it over, this never ending war but the battle raging within ourselves is the only one worth fighting. I do not believe in much, but of that- of that I am sure. In spite of it all be a force for good wherever you can. Every smile to a stranger is a little victory. So smile now. You are alive. And please understand that victory is not a sunrise to the zenith victory is getting out of bed and finding for the first time in weeks you are not so afraid. Trust your gut, or whatever part of your life you believe in the most. The only decisions I regret are the ones I didn’t really make myself. Hope and wishful thinking are two different things, and only one is going to hurt you. The other is something to cling to with everything you have, and never lose sight of. Sometimes love is tenderness. Sometimes love is flowers and sometimes love is a small patch of soil and a packet of seeds. Love is never someone telling you how hopelessly broken you are and telling you it’s good. Remember the tides rise and fall and never meet but the sea goes on looking for itself on the other side of the world. Even the sea has hope and it’s the biggest **** being on Earth. Remember time is a concept that humans created and clocks may stop ticking but reality never runs out. Your chances are endless. Remember every step back is another step you know how to take forward. Nothing’s ever wasted. The last thing to remember is that however much they take from you, your demons will never be satisfied. And I know this is a terrifying thought but it also means they are always fighting a losing battle. However long the war goes on, there is only one possible winner and the winner is you.

Some people find solace in words, some people find solace in music. Some people find solace in paintings, but I find solace in your voice. You reciting stories, slow and steady; luring me in with your eyes and waving hands. I am hopelessly trapped in your hypnotizing existence. -m.b

solace
When I think of you it’s cosmos, the worlds in perfect harmony Then I think what’s the point if you don’t think of me? The sun shines through your eyes I swear they’re made of gold Blue stained with crystal, leading to stories of the soul I think of you almost every hour, nothings really changed I get scared sometimes though that we will stay the same The story in the dark, untouched and left untold Letting our feelings drown, frozen and shattered in the cold My father doesn't approve, but it seems he never will If you’re going to run I’ll run as long as we don’t stand still Seems most of this is terrifying, using words in a mine field I seize to understand, what’s the big deal? I’m 17 now, I am not young a naive Some things I speak you must trust but still you don’t believe I prove an I cry, and hopelessly wonder Why am I in a low, with such rain and thunder? He’s the one I want don’t you get it, can’t you see? I’m not such a child, let me be free Seeing you will never change, I’ll wait for him you’ll see And if it’s truly love, what’s meant to be will be

Forbidden
_A delicate sound trickles into my ear A tantalizing voice from a mouth so fair Her lips move as she brushes back her hair And moonlight beams into my dreams She eases me with her soothing scent With little laughs between words, Whispering softly in unison with birds That sing and cheer as dawn draws near The graceful woman I am bound to Greets me with a smile while I sleep And tells me that she is mine to keep After the sun has set and twilight beget Her tender touch is all I need As I hopelessly cling to my fantasy And indulge an invisible ecstasy Until I awaken and my love is taken_

Twilight Mistress
Holding back tears with a straining smile I speechlessly waved goodbye. And now i think of you hopelessly learning a thirst that cannot be quenched a craving that eats you away like a venom. As i type out this poem late at night i begin to realize There are pain in the world that leaves you helpless and in that helplessness, I learn love in its full force.
