The troubles you said
Were below sea level
Are eye level for me
Lexie Sep 2020
Take me to the darkness
In the middle of the sea
Drowning is nothing
When you live your whole life free

Love was was not enough for us
Now we must face the music
Lexie Sep 2020
Tell me if you love me
And I'll tell you if I care

Sick of wearing my heart on my sleeve
For those who are never truly there
Lexie Sep 2020
Tell me
Your fantasy of God
Of goodness
Kindness
Tell me of sinners
And death
Speak of angels

You all think mental health is quirky
Until
You cry yourself to sleep every night

We are poets
All we know
Is cigarettes and regret

We are poets
We know of heartbreak and all her words
The size of each of her veins
Asking to much of a broken heart

We are poets
We slip into the madness
Because it's more comfortable

We are poets
We observe
Saying nothing
Preferring to write our words

We are poets
And each of our lengths of love
Are our most beautiful works
