Away
Lexie Nov 2015
Please,

Don't ever tell me to go away

Because I will

And it will hurt like hell

I will miss you ever single **** day

I will want to be right next to you

But I won't be

I can't be

Because you made me think you didn't want me their

Right next to you

Where I belong

yearn

is the worst pain
the kind that drives me insane
the kind you can let out
only to return
and for the blood in my veins
it will ever year

Back
Lexie Nov 2015
the demons
are back
and stronger than ever
they brought their friends
darker and deeper
they command

inside of my brain
and so quickly they control
I think I am insane

Blood Horses
Lexie Nov 2015
I let loose
A stampede
Of blood horses
They raced down my arm
To be the first down the drain
To be the first one to run away from me
At the first sight of pain.

Boots
Lexie Nov 2015
I have walked so many miles
Never in your shoes
I never seen many smiles
Never been the one on your lips

So many journeys always alone
Many places to go
Where I travel unknown
In these worn boots

In these worn boots I mark
The earth with my feet
God gave me a spark
So the earth I enflame

Every journey a mission
I walk with these boots
Some stop, and they listen
To the words I've carried

These boots are a gift to my feet
Many steps they have made
Whether dirt road or paved street
They make their mark

I could sleep while I walk
My boots know the way
They keep going, they never stop
It is a path ever-trod

Ever to encompass the earth
Until I walk home
To my humbled birth
Deep inside your heart

These boots I stomp at the door
Like a knock to the ground
I love you, do you know what for?
Because you gave me these boots

You knew I would always walk
And didn't want me to forget
You couldn't follow, wouldn't stalk
The person who let me go

Wanted me to remember, those times
You were my rest
You colored me between the lines
Now you carry me

With these boots on my feet
I will find a way
A way for us, again, to meet
At a crossroads

Intersectable, so connectable
Like Lego bricks
We are built, unbreakable
This love, unmistakable

I don't always like
What you have to say
Never will I strike
You, and walk away

A promise that comes from  a past
A promise it is
A promise that will promise to last
My word.

So these boots continue
To carry promises
To walk, because I miss you
Just to be closer

Even if I never touch your heart
I know we
Are never far apart
Not in my head

Boots to ***** in the dirt
To find you
Boots to wear, when we flirt
Or any other time

Boots a map to my home
To find you, my love
So I will not be alone
Just me, and my boots

Just Want
Lexie Nov 2015
you dressed me, with your woes
undressed me, chorused by my "no's"

whatever you wanted
I guess anything goes

you never listen to my plea
all you wanted was to be in me

I wanted to swim away
there are other fish in the sea

find them and bring them
back to me

find me a key
to set me free

never a word you heard
as you took your claim

as you breathed me in fire
and doused me in pain

to enter a dark cave
my light, you extinguished

some flames burn to bright
they lose the lust inside the light

I was enough to burn
though only for one night

you kissed my back
and loved me so sweet

made it hard to stand
to walk you need feet

you were there to take
and so you took

you never came back
not so much as a look

you journeyed in me
and then journeyed on

you weren't just going
you were long gone

I will never follow
for the shame will trace

every step I walk to find
but I know not a safe place

the eyes they watch
and the eyes they see

the eyes know not
what you wrought inside me

to tear and leave
and make a throne

I was just your house
I was never your home

a chance to live free
you spilled your lies inside of me

you saw what you wanted to
you don't look, you just see

if I slapped your cheek
would you feel the pain

would know my hands
would you know my name

so much disappointment
I reserved for our after's

still sweet I remember
the sound of our laughter's

to remember the days
when we were strangers

till I found out
you were a player

I loved you then bae
but no longer I know you

when the night comes
I know not what to do

I am lost in a sea of people
without you

save me, break me
either way

what is familiar
is a price to pay

over the oceans
I could hear your voice

and as you call
I make my choice

regrets to sweet
as these painful nights

I just want love
whether wrong or right

Please tell me I am begging you
Which of these thorn covered paths will lead me to you
I have not time to waste to discover the true one
You must show me the way, so I can be on my way
Finding you is of the utmost urgency, quickly
I dare not delay, for time is life, and a single moment spilled
Could be catastrophic to our future, my love

Take Your Time
Lexie Nov 2015
I tried to catch the time,
       but it slipped between my fingers
                           I needed to slow it down
                                   So I could get back to you
                                                                            but
                                     I didn't realize it was me
            Who was making it take to long
      To get back to you, my love
So I am sorry, take your time

Your Memory
Lexie Nov 2015
I attributed my choice to your memory
I could of sent him the pictures
I knew the stranger wanted me
I almost let him have me
Inside of his mind
Let his body rule over mine
But I couldn't
I will never forget
What it was like
To be yours
I belonged to you
Inside and out
So I am sorry
For even the thought
Of betrayal to your memory
I will try to keep it sweet
Within me
Crazy how much you still affect me.

Silk Worms
Lexie Nov 2015
Train the silk worms to crawl in formation
Over my corpse
In China, they wont of heard how I died
By a broken heart

Classic

But teach them to trace the skin on my body
Show them to dance over my frame
Let them see the effect of loss

Lead them over me
They could almost pass through me

My heart once hard
Till you made it soft
Held it together
So it wouldn't get lost

Teach them to run
Over my eyes
I will never see you again
Never journey inside your mind
Not be part
Of the moments when you are kind

Between my fingers they can sleep
Where your hands once held
Each of my own

Teach the silk worms to crawl in formation
Make me a casket of finest silk
Let them wrap me up in lace
So you can no longer see my face

I Need You
Lexie Nov 2015
I would write endless words
If you made you love me again
To make you notice
I am still here, and alive
Trying to live
Trying to thrive
The same rhymes I share
Over and over again
A repetition of pain
That drives me over the edge
I am going insane
Could you come back?
Come home to my heart,
that is your real home.
Please, please
I don't want to fee alone
So many times
Do  I cry in the shower
Let the water
Rush, hour after hour
Thinking it can cleanse the past
Or find a way
To end the pain at last
This torture, and pain I feed
Inside my heart
I wont evict it
It won't leave
Just like you
I gave it a home
Inside my broken heart
So I won't be on my own
With my knife and my art
Food for my stomache
That will fill
But food my heart
That will ****
I need you
Those three words
Not
I love you
But that to
I need you
I can't live without you
These three words
Say it all
How you are my light
Yet you make me fall
Only to catch me
Please
Need me
Nov 2015 · 153
Enough?
Lexie Nov 2015
I wonder sometimes
If its enough for you
The memories me
Do you even think of me anymore?
Or did your mind close,
When you shut the door?
Did you want more?

-memories
-kisses
-moments
-time

I constantly crave
The golden glow
From your eyes
When I kissed you
I will always want more
To lighten my own soul

To tell me its okay
To tell me to let go
To tell me you care
To tell me you love me

Would be a sweet torture
No matter how
I will need you
And I will never back down

'98
It was a good year
Twenty-twelve
It was better

I met you
I never knew
Brown eyes

Could see inside my soul
Empty my whole heart
At the same time
You make me feel whole

Two thousand fifteen
That's how many years
It seems like have passed
Since I kissed you last

Seventeen years old
Some years left to go
Some I will love
Some I won't know

Many years remembered
Many memories to make
Many hearts forgotten
Many, mine, will break

Years of time stretch high
Some to kiss into the sky

Moments that taste
Like popcorn
Oreos
Smell like rain
Feel like my fingers
On a taught bow string
Taste like pavement after a storm
Look a rainbow

Hide and seek
Time to keep
Kiss to give
Moments to live

Dimensions
Lexie Nov 2015
If I asked you to join me
In gravitating towards a
Parallel universe of love
Where we would be the
Opposite of ourselves
But it would be okay my
Most affectionate love
Because we would be
Together in this world
And every other world
So let is journey to our
Other worldly home so
Let us go to never be
Apart and never be alone
Just in each of the known
Dimensions we thrive
To kiss your lips always
So you can stay alive <3

Lexie Nov 2015
they said you chased me around
like a love sick puppy
looking for me
finding my heart
inside my soul
in my deep blue eyes

I thought it was me
who was always trying
to reach my only love
like an animal I hungered
looking for you
to give you my heart
to bend my soul
to catch the light inside yours

We danced inside
Each others arms
Trying to fill the void
In our hearts
That is created
When we are far apart
The light we made was dim
But bright enough to see
That you my love
Are perfect enough
In your broken state
To complete me

Mice & Men
Lexie Nov 2015
Press your hands into my heart
Hard enough to make an impression
Push as if to make the marks last
Scare me, so I will always remember
That someone walked my veins
And danced inside my lungs
That you were in my heart
You felt it beating loud and steady
You pushed until I was ready
To love you so hard again
To feel this world of mice and men

Beyond
Lexie Nov 2015
beyond all dreams
or known emotions

I find you

beyond all hopes
I will ever know

I find you

beyond all lies
I will ever tell

I find you

when I am lost
and cannot find a way

I find you

when I am lost
and cannot find any way

I find you

You pull me down
tied me to this earth

I found you

made me a place
to stay

I found you

let me learn again
how it is to love

I found you

In the darkest
midnight hour

I found you

In the shining light
of the sun

I found you

In the quiet
of the first dawn

I found you

Above the beating
of my own heart

I heard you

My love I heard you calling
whisking me away
taking me to a place
where you wanted me to stay
to be yours

and yours alone
tethered there to a stone

Beyond all eyes
That could ever see
You got lost
*but you found me

I miss you my friend <3
Lexie Nov 2015
So it begins:

I miss you above all the stars in the sky


So I must find a way to fly


I miss you friend more than sand


Every grain in every single land


I miss you more each and every day


To find you, I must make a way


You belong inside of my heart


Never far, never ever apart


I miss you more than the moon


You play my heart to a gentle tune


I miss you more than the sun


Of my friends, you are the best one


I miss you less when you are near


Every moment I wish you here


You belong inside my heart


Never far, never ever apart


I miss you like I've lost a hand


So pull me up and help me stand


I miss like I cannot see


I am blind so please guide me


I miss you like I cannot walk


With you thought, I will not be lost


You belong inside my heart


Never far, never ever apart


I miss you my memories clock


You hold my heart and the lock


I miss you my old and dear


Stay with me, just be near


I miss you my precious half


I want you always, to come back


You belong inside my heart


Never far, never ever apart

Green
Lexie Oct 2015
did you know
if you cut
a single triangle into the wall
and you push through
the drywall and siding
you can see the sun so blinding
and the grass so green
you thought if this is a different world
you think it's not meant for me
but this world
on the other side
has no more secrets
you won't have to hide

the leaves on your side
of the wall of Eyes
are different
they are shy leaves
much to dull
they have a shine
but they never will show
beauty extorted
beauty unclaimed
they dare not sparkle
or be pluck in vain

in this new world
the leaves are honest
they show each pigment
with a laugh
and bleed beautiful colors
that promise to last

so cut the triangle
slice through the wall
before the beautiful colors fall
catch each leaf
with a glint in your eye
for these are true colors
they never will die

you must come
to know them now
don't ask questions
you don't need to know how
kiss in green
and a laugh of light
send you away
into the night

follow the trail
of the heart shaped leaves
if you find my home
don't ever leave
I give you these colors
to have and to own
so in the dark
you won't be alone

an escape
and a journey
a place
you don't have to earn

a citizen of Home
in the garden of life
and in this place
there is not strife
just kisses of sunlight
to keep you warm
into this last night

I Like You
Lexie Oct 2015
I like your encouragement
It fuels my fire
Stokes my ego
Helps me burn brighter

I like your words
How they feel
When they roll off my tongue
They help me heal

I like your eyes
They scream out the love
Like golden gems
Sent from above

I like your heart
The way it beats quickly
When I place my head against
You chest, it beats with me

I like you arms
I could trace your veins
For days and hours
And never feel ashamed

I like your chin
Stuck out in stubborn
They way you are strong
At every chance you learn

I like your walk
Trying to be cool
I know you are special
Not just a tool

I like your hands
They way your fingers bend
Around my own
To hold on to the end

I like your yesterdays
How they fade to todays
And I know the tomorrows
Are days that will amaze

I like you
I really do
And maybe I think
You like me to

Well

Some of my friends
Were coming out
In the world

But
Either way

Soon realized
That it is a harsh world

To live in
To die in
To try to
Survive in

So come up for air
Continue to breathe
I am your friend
I will never leave

Locked inside a place.

Called home!

Oh to be there

Eighteen flowers.

Some for love.

Less than lies.
Less than before.
Less than true.
Less than more.

Eighteen days some less nights
Each a star in its own right

I'm a poet
I know not sleep

But I know
Your face

The way it looks
In my mind

In the early hours
Before the dawn

I can hear you call
My name in anger

You are my love
And I your stranger

Hello I whisper
To the stars

And I know they
Hear me

Even though
They are so far

I couldn't wait
For you to smile

I want to dance
To the music in your eyes

I want you
To know

My kisses are yours
And every breathe I breath

Is a gift you receive
I will not rest

While you wake
And since I am not

With you now
I cannot sleep

So your memory
Awake

I will keep

Gravity
Lexie Oct 2015
I didn't know gravity could be so painful

It pulls me to earth

And none reach to lift me up

The books and words

Weigh down my back

And I cannot resist

This heavy atmosphere

I am not Newton's apple

Not even an apple

I am green

New to this world

But it pulls me so close

So tight

But it is suffocating

I didn't realize
I was holding my breath
Until the air came
And none was left

I breathed in
Sorrowful release
But with these words
There doesn't come peace

I didn't tremble in fear
Wouldn't dare an answer
You were my dark wraith
My Necromancer

The child I was
Saw the child in you
And like a child
I didn't know what to do

For words are danger
Once leased from a mouth
But better than caged
Where they lie and doubt

I regretted my words
And regard your reply
For better to speak
Than keep silent and die

Escape
Lexie Oct 2015
You trapped me in your soul


And I writhed to get free


Now their are scars on your chest


From where your heart used to be





I bled beneath your fingers


You trapped me in your skin


And I fought my way out


You felt me from within





So feirce my rage


As I escaped my prison


It was like a new day


Like a sun I had risen





The blinding light


To sear your eyes


For you need to feel


The extent of your demise

Water Romance
Lexie Oct 2015
No matter how close together our hearts are
There will always be two cages between
Some of them weaved in bone and tissue
Others are the kind that cannot be seen

As close as you are to me
Closer still I want to be


If I could touch your hand and know your skin
Would find a way to let me in?

So many walls that you have put up
Some barriers broken by your mind
Physically in our own little domain
Some barriers of a different kind

You remain in sand buried in a beach
Letting the waves take their toll
I would dig you out my love
But in this life it is just a role

*Send me your waves
So when the world ends
And the oceans rage
We will still drink deep
Of each others love
Oct 2015 · 155
New Paths
Lexie Oct 2015
We wait impatiently
For the moment
And when it comes
We will own it

When we can reach
Beyond the edge
To the dreams
On the other ledge

To feel the air
On our own
But beside the other
So we aren't alone

A preparation
Given enough time
But never just
To stand in line

To dance
The whole way there
To always know
But not quite care

We scavenge
These empty streets
But among
All the people we meet

We only find
Desperate friends
Who find a way
To seek an end

This journey begun
With hope in hand
To bring ourselves
To a promise land

A roof over our heads
A floor to sweep
Many gentle memories
To make and keep

Two eyes
And then four
Some time
And then more

Every step to start a
Another journeying
Every lesson
We are learning

I wouldn't want to
Do it alone
That's why I have you
My solid stone

A rock of guidance
And wisdom sweet
To show me where
To place my feet

Every word
From your mouth
Every picture
On a shelf

Hung and spoken
With so much care
If I look behind me
I see you there

Watching, with a smile
To see me grow
That look in your eyes
I already know

The memories
We shall weave
And my heart
You shall never leave

As fall rains
In gentle leaves
And it kisses
With a gentle breeze

We embark
On a new path
A home to make
A way to last
For Reba. <3
