Accident
Lexie Jul 2019
I almost became
The cross
On the side of the road
216 · Mar 2018
Gentle
Lexie Mar 2018
As gentle as I go into the night
It is not good
And whence I return from such a depth
Cast off and abandoned from all I foolishly hold dear
Everything next to my heart is ripped away
Leaving me to be bound in agony
For all that is good is tangible
Still I cannot touch it
And all that has worth is so quickly spent out on fools and folly alike

She is a dream
And a fool all at once
Bound to the same stars as many souls before her
Like rockets set into space her mind wanders
And such as the sun shines so is she light
But there is more inside her than has been felt in the whole world
Compact and thoughtful
Overflowing and lacking all at once

He is a nightmare and a dragon
Breathing fire and flame to the wick of a candle soul
He is bitter and salty, a handful of the bottom of the ocean
You could drink and drink and your thirst never be quenched,
but you savor the taste in your mouth and you dare not spit it out
Just a kiss, to save the world
Just a hand, to lift up the sky
Just a heart to beat again, if you can find it bound within your chest
A mystery is this; if such a thing still remains
To long it has been left cold
To long, to long

Still the night calls
The twinkle of the stars enticing Though who can touch the celestials
Gentle she calls and gentle she is
Though strength has not abandoned her

Ruins
Lexie Sep 2014
It is dark without the light
Something not so obvious

It is cold without your heat
The warmth of your broken skin

It is barren without your love
The tender touch so warm

I am lost without a guide
I cannot run, cannot hide

So lost in the thought
The answer escapes my lips

Bring me back to light
With your evening kiss

The stars guide all the dreamers
To better, peaceful shores

The isle of the blessed
Is reserved for the wishers of something
more

A dream hatched before it was done
Is a day spent in wonder of a life so young

A shot in the dark
A cry from the pain

A ghost with fingers
Who can mark the bane

Reading words on temple stone
Never leaving well enough alone

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
216 · Jan 2014
Emotions I Can't Explain
Lexie Jan 2014
No words can express
What I feel right now

I cant understand the pain of today
I don't know how to figure out what to say

Cut the bonds
Slice the skin
Walls so paper thin

Listening ears
and
Aching hearts

Stop hold out your hand
I don't think I can understand
216 · Jun 2014
The Past
Lexie Jun 2014
I am choking on the air that is to thick to breathe
Crying through the fears trying just to see
The light at the end of the hall
I try to walk but stumble and fall
Just another trip down memory lane
Reliving all the pain

"Pain demands to be felt"

"Okay?"

Strength in the Suffering

Apologies
Lexie Jun 2018
silence is not a game
and these strings
wound around my heart
you pull them in a direction
where cuts have already been made
this is foolishness
and I have no breath
for foul air
when you refuse to accept such as this
the apology of a dying star
so lay now
just as you are
and I will walk a barren road
with none to comfort me
but time and her cohorts
Why are relationships so hard?
215 · Jun 2019
Unto Water
Lexie Jun 2019
I crave your waves
Crash over me
Drowning in your depths
This is surrender
215 · Jan 2014
Words
Lexie Jan 2014
I use them over and over again
Some mean nothing
Some have depth

I yell some
I shout others

I whisper them in the dark

The comforting sounds

The peaceful noises

They fill my head

Some alive some dead

Some filled with horror

Some filled with dread

Some people I wish would just use actions instead

Written In the Stars
Lexie Feb 2014
Your destiny may not be written in the stars
But your dreams are
Your troubles may count more than the grains of sand alone the beach
But your hope fills the oceans
Your beauty may sink to the bottom of the depths
But beauty comes from the inside
Your tears may be heavier than rain
But they shine more than the diamonds in the mines

Your world may not make sense
But it should or there would be no purpose for you
You may owe many debt
But remember the war isn't over yet
Your longing may have run dry
But your love expands past galaxies

Your destiny may not be written in the stars
But your dreams surpass all knowledge
Your story may not be written in the sky
But the days spell out your legacy
Your life may now know this world
But your heart beats in time with the tide
Your passion may be held captive by lies
But only you can set it free

Your destiny may not be written in the stars
But your dreams are. Believe.

Breathing
Lexie Oct 2018
I wanted to breathe with my heart, whispering...

I hope you find your happiness
I hope to God you make your healing
If love was tangible
It would be a blanket to keep you warm on the nights so cold and soulless
It would be the way home on the night of the weakest moon
It would be my hand winding through yours like a vine

A dreamer kisses a canves, because even if there is no beauty to be seen in something, it can be made
A vessel, no less, no greater than the intentions
Just as the hands who work it are folded in prayer

I wanted to breathe with my heart
Wanted to kiss with my hands
I'm learning to love though
As only a fool can

Lexie Mar 2016
I am wedged in, between the crack in reality
213 · Jan 2014
Stop
Lexie Jan 2014
Stop the train
Cut the engine
Let the coal fall from the shovel
I need to go back
In order to fix my future
I need to turn around

I'll tell you how I feel
I don't care if I never heal
I'll stop every arrow
I'll block every blow
I just need to tell you
So that you can know

I loved you. I love you. And I always will.

If my voice was as loud as my heart would you hear it?
213 · Mar 2016
Peace
Lexie Mar 2016
if this was
my last breath
you would be
my last wish

but you make it so
tomorrow I will wake
from this terrible
and morbid nightmare

you are not my sun
but give source to its light
I see you in my future
hold me during your night

give me gentle
kisses on my forehead
take this pain
and give me peace instead
213 · Mar 2016
Tuned Out
Lexie Mar 2016
I just realized that
I have started lying to you
Not with words
But with my voice
And how my heart sings
A little less vibrantly
I will not apologize
Because
You have already
Tuned me out
Along with
The rest of the world.

Ocean Arms
Lexie Apr 2018
I pull away
Like the sand from the shore
Only to throw myself against you again
The moon is full
She lights my way
I rush to you
And break upon your arms

One True Thing
Lexie Feb 2014
My quiet you say speaks the loudest
The dark you say spreads so much light
The ocean you say is the driest of all
The dessert you say quenches your thirst

Sleep you say only makes you tired
The food you eat only makes you hungry
The silent beating of my heart you say echoes like thunder
The air you say chokes you like being ducked under

The cold you say has never felt so warm
The sun you say chills you to the bone
But my love is the only thing that is real
Its the only thing that feels right
212 · Nov 2014
how to know
Lexie Nov 2014
keep breathing in poetry
and exhaling unwound emotions
dusting off dreams a gift to the star
praying to the dictionary god
and the rhyming wizard
dreaming for a clearer tomorrow
and a brighter future

Bondage
Lexie Dec 2021
I can breathe
I can breathe
The air that's pushing out from my diaphragm
Is humid and labored
I can breathe
The blood circulating to my hands
Stops at the leather around my wrist
Animal skin is not the only contact on mine

I can breathe
I used to tie cherry stems with my tongue
Now I bite it as ropes tighten
A second ribcage around my chest
A necklace around my throat
The carcass kiss of summer dripping
Warm wax on my thighs

I can breathe
Breathe into me
Your love, devotion, possession
Fill my senses
Tighter

I can breathe

Walls
Lexie Jan 2016
Will these walls ever come down?
I freak out every time they crack!
The windows are nice
A little light is okay.

But please I need them up
Surrounding me, to feel safe.
I could never have a guard
To take the walls out of place

When even in my trembling
You speak to me with kindness
Even angels, long to look into these things
And yet in our humanity
It seems these days are just for us

Scars.
Lexie Sep 2015
People sometimes say,
You don't have to sleep alone
But I didn't know
My nights were yours to own

You tried to take
Things that can only be given
Forced me to believe
That dying was truly living

Didn't want blankets
To get in your way
So you took my heart
And threw it away

So many parts
Taken without privilege
Left with scars
And night to re-live

You spilled your lies
Inside of my weakened soul
And said "It's okay"
"It will make you feel whole"

So as my emptiness
Spilled out on the sheets
I knew my life
Had took different streets

So many twists
Like curves on my body
I tried to be good
But you wanted naughty

I beat myself up
For the scars you inflicted
I gave you a bucket
I wish you had kicked it

So dark was the night
Brighter than your intention
But the light came again
Something you forgot to mention

I should have run
At the first "I Love You"
It was a bad lie
But what could I do?

Three weeks in
And I wanted to die
After one night
I should have said goodbye

Instead of kissing
The scars on my frame
You made them anew
And wrought me in pain

I wanted to get over
But you wanted to come in
And so I died
On the outside and within

The illusion of glass
To walk right through
But I could see
The evil in you

Trapped in the sheets
You tangled my soul
You strangled my heart
And now I don't know

What it is
To breathe fresh air
Because this gas
Tastes like your share

You cavorted inside
To never break me out
I knew you were
Bad, never a doubt
211 · May 2019
tá tú ar iarraidh, uaim
Lexie May 2019
A departure no matter how sweet, never as much as the return
An old tongue roots himself again in my mouth
Reigns my words as they rise up behind my teeth
My lack of you is devout, and your return a worship may be
The knots we tie are ancient
I hear the cairns at the door to the nine realms whisper the words in my heart
You are missing, from me
Stones cry out when you hold your tongue
Do I know all things now
Or only those of little consequence to Odin
Title translation:

You are missing, from me.

Just a girl.

Brown Eyes
Lexie Aug 2015
Like Fall's best shades
Your eyes shine
If they were steps
I would climb

Cool and dark
And mixed with ice
To look in them
Is to pay a price

Brown as the leaves
With a shimmer
Deep as the earth
Tears much thinner

Gentle gazes
But yet you see my soul
Looking inside
To see what's whole

Sweet like chocolate
I dare not take a bite
I could never able to handle
The feelings at that height

For I would never wish to harm
That gentle part of your soul
I'd rather just watch
And let you stay whole

But yet I bit into your poison
A choice I chose to choose
And I shall regret nothing
For it was mine to lose

Trap me inside your eyes
I am lost in them already
Don't rock me like a boat
Keep your gaze steady

I was stupid; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun
I was hopeful; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun
I was in the dark; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun
I tilted my face to the sky; like a blind girl waiting to see the sun
210 · Feb 2016
The Truth
Lexie Feb 2016
I begged for it
But once we were face to face
I couldn't handle it
Didn't want to realize
Give me the lies
Of the sweetest taste
Evict the truth
And fill its place
I submitted for a while
I bought it
Even like the taste
But all to soon
It was bitter
And reality was foul
Like smoke in my eyes
Left alone, in solitude
We were okay
But in a world
Filled with opposites
And attractions
You were not so appetizing
I followed you
Because you promised
To lead me home
But the place
That I was taken to
Was much to bright
For my darkened
perspective
210 · Jun 2015
In a Silent Place:
Lexie Jun 2015
In between sheets thinner than paper
As the candle end their height
All we ever made
Will be born into light

Scars on bodies
And a tempered will
This night is for us
And it won't sit still

Colder than glass mixed with ice
Better than nights
Of darkened souls
And days of lights

Between the collection of
Legs and arms intertwined
If you looked
Is it me you would find

A darker heart a lighter soul
A deeper ******
And a better incision
Memories fade to dust

As ashes rises from your lips
The cigarettes die
And a lung of death
Is brought alive

Thirty five lives
Follow by thirty four deaths
But if you count again
You find none are left

It doesn't add up
I won't back down
Because demons rage
And raise a crown

Valley
Lexie Nov 2017
If life was a valley
Where would you walk

In the stark sunlight
As it beat down upon you
In all the glory of the day
As it kisses your face
With the warmth of its rays

Or would you walk beside me
In the coolness of the trees
I see no light, only darkness
And the shadows that wreath me
They tell me their secrets in confidence
For they know my name in turn
Me eyes have long forgotten
All the radiance of the sunlight
I cannot know that which I fear

And so my journey is this
One that I walk beneath the moon

Crazy
Lexie Jul 2017
It felt good
The way you kissed my neck
It would feel better
To run my car over your face

Psychopathic tendency's
Uncontrollable liars

It was sweet
The way you hugged me
It tasted better
The poison on your tongue

Acid and arrows
Cupid's fate

Fight or Flight
Lexie Oct 2016
Ever I want to fight the world
How I toil
All in vain
For anger fills me
And I boil over
What is this remorse
You feign to feel
Your lies are poison
You quilt me into
Hating myself
And that is not right
But how can I change
What I was told
Shall come to pass
My head is a box
And my heart must be unpacked
