Blunt words
Blood shot eyes
Smokey tombs with silent cries

A song with words no man will utter
Going down
Diving under

Rolling waves
Cracks of lightning
The earth is waking
She is rising

Horses ridden through the night
Eyes wild and full of fright
They dare not look back
To something they loved
Something they lost

A town in the skies
Fallen to the earth
A child born
Brought to a humble berth

Blankets of memories
Like leaves fallen off of trees
The people reign and they rule
They work their backs and whip their mule

The labor of the descendants of none
Born to be free born to run

Sunken eyes and hollow bones
Soft and brittle, rocks and stones

Someone to wake
Something to take
The sun must rise in my eyes

The control of minds
The words to sweet
And to kind

A lock to break a key to find

Only when you are lost
Only in the dark you can

Know who I am
Lexie Feb 2019
I wanted to give you words that you could bite into
Feel the sweetness on your tongue and maybe a little saltiness in your eyes
I wanted to tell you that you are a good friend
And somehow find the right words to match the logs you place in my stomach and light on fire
Just so I can feel the warmth in my heart

The world did not give you to me
But I hope you know that you do belong
We held hands together in the dark
We saw ghosts by the light of the lighthouse
But none as scary as the ones we both carry
In the back of our skulls
We are more than coffee *** friends
But we do not cry whisky tears
And old souls have a habit of finding each other
Even as they wait, laying on the floor, almost patiently, for the sun to rise
Why
Lexie Dec 2017
Why
Out of all the things that could have broken my heart why, why was it you.
Lexie Feb 2016
I've tried so hard to forget because it is so painful to remember

every smile is encased in tears
every memory coated in rain

Did I make it this way? How could I fail so badly?

is it done yet
make it over
I can't take anymore

My pain is still to fresh, my wounds have not yet healed.
Lexie Nov 2014
¿por qué te ríes de mí
¿He dicho algo gracioso
es la manera de que me miro en el espejo
o cómo las lágrimas cristalizan la cara

Lexie Dec 2018
Three is a crowd
I'm still so ******* lonely
It's a long night
When you have a full head
If only I was open
But I'm afraid of coming unhinged
Lexie Oct 2018
A hollow voice
She answers my call
Singing out
Into the night
Silence, my only companion
Has abandoned me
For those who do not curse their own name
I am the fool
In the forest
Moss between the bareness of my feet
Nothing but shame to cover my nakedness
I bite my tongue
The blood comes forth
Clenching my jaw
Will not warm my bones
The night carries me
As a wild river
I find no rest in the trees tonight
Lexie Dec 2018
Attempting to stay centered
When I myself am storm
Just to be free
In thought and deed
Lexie Dec 2019
Reckless to a fault
At least I am living
Lexie Oct 2018
Do you hear the wind blowing in the willows
Her moan calling through the trees
She knows no names
Still I know her voice
Oh how bitter her cry
She knows no peace for a hundred years
Like the rings of a stump
I have felt these things too
Oh that we would find comfort
Oh that we could make peace
Lexie Feb 2014
How can I sing
When my voice is broken
You ripped out my heart
And set in in a chest - oaken

How can I dance
When my feet immobile
You tripped my and I fell
You my enemy are far from noble

How can I laugh
When my heart is so tired
The sadness seeps into my bones
Is that what I inspired

I cannot help but to blame myself
The weight is on my shoulders
I carried myself high
But now I am buried under boulders

Broken glass underneath my feet
A river carrying me out to sea
I glide in a painful daze
Trying to escape - to be free

I travel under the sunken earth
And I hope never to see the sun
It is finished - it is over
It is done

Believe in myself
There is nothing left to believe in
I am broken
And again you win

It was just a trick - Just a joke
Am I the punch line
Will I make it to the end
How can I be drunk - without wine

I stagger up a mountain
Trying always to reach the top
Though I just keep slipping
I will never ever stop

If I could but reach the sun
Then maybe I could shine in the sky
Or would I just get burned
Why cant I see my whole life - I've been living a lie

I try and I try but to no avail
My skin is black yet also pale
I walk a ****** wicked trail
What will happen if I fail

Should I just turn back
No there is nothing left for me
I need to climb
I need to be free

So I bend my back
And I shall bite my tongue
And the end
We will know who won
Lexie Dec 2018
I pray for wisdom
Not for age
It seems as the days roll by
That I always get one
Not so much the other
Lexie Aug 2018
I firmly believe
That to become wise
You must experience new foolishness
Everyday
Like you feed yourself
Food from hand to mouth
Fresh fruit
Plucked from the vine
So is wisdom
Thus is life
Lexie Oct 2015
to thee I may seem wise
for the wisdom that you see
comes from thine own eyes
Lexie Mar 2016
I would like to go on a date with you before I die
Lexie Jun 2018
you have been in my head long enough to find your way to my dreams
maybe soon you will find a way to my heart







please stay



please





Lexie Nov 2014
I have a tip jar;*

       And this is what it said to me,

  *Dreams don't fit inside your hand,
but they are trapped inside your pretty little head
Lexie Aug 2019
Those above
And those below
Some stay
Some never go
Lexie May 2019
Time has touched you
I have not been so lucky
Lexie Nov 2015
Good* and *light
are not the same
for you can be good
in the dark
and bad
in the light
it is a choice you make
no matter dark or light
its not the colors
of sky or skin
its what you choose
it comes from within
Lexie Feb 2014
I am locked in your iron grip
Not a single drop of water between my lip
Let me fall and I will slip
Let me go and I will trip

I stumble in the darkness with no fire
I stand behind a glass will still filled with desire
Falling from the highest spire
As the flames call higher

Dust me off so I can rise
So you can look and see the pain in my eyes
All the times my flame dies
Nothing can put it out not even all the rain in the skies

You shine brighter than I do
Its all about me and never about you
All the words that could never be true
All the storms that you just walked through

I think I can reach up to where you dwell
And figure the stories you would never tell
Follow my nose what the is that smell
I chase you over the earth up to heaven and down to hell

A race that neither of us can win
You could ruin my world with the drop of a pin
You are a part of me like an evil twin
I love the fire you hold within

You were within my reach
I learned the lessons you had to teach
I said I loved you but it was just a figure of speech
You were a wall I had to climb
You were the wall I chose to breach

All the time
Lexie May 2014
If the world had one less body
And one less broken heart
If the world lost my soul
And had it torn apart
If this life was empty
And I didn't know who sent me
If I had a calling
A person to catch me when I'm falling
If I owned the universe
And kept it in my purse
If I could catch stars
And sail them afar
If I could swim to the bottom of the lake
And choose which path to take
If I could fly on borrowed wings
And know what the morning would bring
If I couldn't talk with my lips
And I could only speak when I kiss
If I could dream in black and white
And hold you close through the night
If I could let my stresses go
And would swim with the flow
If I had a rule book for life
And didn't die during the night
If I had a world with pictured glass
And it was one that wouldn't last

Would you miss a world without me?
Lexie Oct 2017
If seven billion people can live their lives without you then **** it I can, and I will
Lexie Feb 2014
The air gets harder to breathe when we are in the same room
The light is so much brighter on your face than mine
Why is gravity pulling us together
This world has not been kind to your heart or mine
Why should it be now

I have to stop trusting myself
I cannot keeping hiding behind these eyes
As each one of my friends like a flower slowly dies
I lift mine eyes unto sunny skies
And say a prayer that I don't know will ever be heard
Maybe a little bird will carry my cry up to heaven

Or maybe I speak to deaf ears all around me
I try to get your attention but you see right through me
Its like I don't exist or am in a whole other dimension
I am suspended from the sky
By an invisible wire
But it keeps pulling taught
Slowly lifting me higher

Away from where I want to be
And the people I choose to love
Bringing me to my other life
The one I hide above
Before I could only watch and wonder
What is was like to be one of you
I was forever and outsider

But now I am far to close
To so many hearts
If I ever left the circle would simply fall apart
I am the cornerstone and the capstone in one
The foundation set oh so carefully
I couldn't let you crumble when you depend on my
I can hurt anyone else this is my second chance

This is a burden I choose to bare
On a broken back and bent shoulders
My knees are weak and my arms are limp
And if I move I know you will slip
But I need to nourish my broken body
But how can I the rules or body I cannot bend
But it doesn't matter I am only here to mend
The broken hearts and the jagged wounds

It is not my place in this puzzle
I must find my own in this world
This is not my home but that is so easy to forget
Just remember this war is not over yet
I am still betting I cast my lots on you
No matter what happens I am going to see this through

I don't care how far I must go to protect you
Even to the ends of the earth and back again
I don't care if these frail bones shatter
Nothing I do matters
It is all about you the apple of my eye
Its all about you but can I teach you how to fly
Lexie Sep 2014
I will follow you to the ends of the earth
Even if we never get back again
I will chase the stars across the sky
As long as I am by your side
Lexie Oct 2022
Tell me I look like my mother
I carry her emptiness
Her grief
Pours into me
Until I am full
Tonight it spills
Onto the tiles in the kitchen
No worries, it is a woman’s work
Lexie Feb 2022
If, the daughters of our past selves
Could see us now
They would be in awe
Of our beauty
They know the battle is before them
They know they can win it
Lexie Jul 2019
I will not come home to anger
Whiskey
Astral projection
You know better
What are you keeping from
Secrets
Not so sweet
Lexie Nov 2019
Abusers act like their the ones who got hurt all these years
Insomnia speaks for itself
Waiting my turn to dance with the devil
When she is done watching the dead sleep
Locking her lips with mine
Her tongue searching down my throat
The kiss the church fears and all sinners crave
Clutching hand over fist
Living in pain, to die for pleasure
Acting in vain, without measure
Trading all worth, for fool's treasure
Cheap gold, cheaper sins
Cash in my hands, take all and fold
You dreamed wolves chased you in the dark
How do I tell you they are at the door now?
They will bite. Tooth in flesh.
Knocking on wood. Knuckles bare and bleeding.
I dreamed it was dark and the end all days came
An apocalypse on the ocean
Squirming through barbed wire
Hitting murky water, eyes shut,
Plasma pulsing through my extremities
Nothing good ever came easy
Nothing worth anything came free
Nothing hot will hold it's heat
Yesterday's cold will catch up
Still waters run deep
Through my fingers entire oceans seep
The old will not be born again
They are not stars
You only die once
The earth will hold you forever
As I ached to do once
Lexie Sep 2015
The last words to say

The best ones to keep

The brightest in the sky

The deepest of the purples

Are *I love you
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
Lexie Aug 2017
If y'all just did
Your mother f*cking jobs
Then I wouldn't
Have to do it for you

This daily grind
Like arabica beans
It wears me down
To only the bitter
Lexie Oct 2018
It's the keeping on that breaks you
It wears you out
As does tread on a tire
The rubber has met the road
Lexie Sep 2018
It was the worst being with you
Even near you


Still I feel like I got off easy
Lexie Mar 2018
I will always remind you that you are worth it
Because there is nothing you would ever do
That would ever
ever
Stop you from being worth it.

You are worthy of the whole world, that's why it was made for you

Please do not forget this
Please do not forget me
Please do not doubt your worth

Even dollars broken into change have value
And such as you are broken
You are not spent out
Lexie Dec 2017
Who are you to walk away?
Who am I to ask you to stay.
Who are we to care at all?
Simply fools, fighting over who will pay the check, you paid in love.

She who waits the tables , will mourn the check that bounces.

And I, will mourn my loss of you.
Lexie Sep 2020
I will teach
Myself love
Over and over
Again
Until
There is no doubt
In my mind
That I am
Worthy of it
Lexie Jun 2015
Could you lie in the dark?
Would you make it a habit?
Would you remember my skin?
Could you see within?

Would you know my dreams?
Could you walk those halls?
Could you pinch me awake?
Would my essence you take?

From beginning to end
Would you let me love?
From start to finish
Could you give me a drug?

Could you get me high on emotion?
Would you bring me low?
Would you let me ride?
Could you see me be part of the tide?

Would you know my desire?
Could you fulfill its thirst?
Could you reach my height?
Would you see without light?

Question in contrasts unquestionable
Give me a reason and a will
Lexie Mar 2019
We carry our tension on the tops of our forearms
The wrinkles in between our eyes
And the right side of our sternum to even out the ache in our chest
I age as quickly as the sun can kiss me
Let her bathe me in all her light
Lexie Sep 2015
Thirty-five thousand words
Erased countless scars
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.
Lexie Sep 2014
you were right
paper is flammable
you were right
you set me on fire
you were wrong
because you said it would last
you were wrong
because it is all gone
Lexie Nov 2015
the best pain
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
Lexie Sep 2015
These days stretch out beyond the hours they were given
And the suns rays stretch out to be among the risen

Reaching for a beyond and fleeing from a hope
Yet all they find within their grasp is the Hanger's rope

More and less to search for in the dark of the night
Yet all you want is to expose it to the harshness  of the light

You dream between the colors of my simple heart
Yet as you travel in that land, we become further apart

To walk alone and guide the ghost the right way
But all I want is for my guide-light to stay

To never be alone with the terrors of my head
To never be tortured within the confines of my bed

To breathe in time with your steady heart beat
To never walk alone, to tickle your feet

I am so. Distraught. And confused.
I am jumbled in emotions of the used

I can't bear to be touched but yet I long
For the feel of your skin, a touch gentle and strong

I dare to miss your words that fill my mind
For I know your heart, and it is kind

And yet I never question if you miss me back
I know it is the way to go, like a race on a track

Never to follow my own fickle heartless mind
But be led by yours, for it is a better kind
You
Lexie Apr 2014
You
I am lost
I am whole
You take you place inside my soul

I lift my head
You part you lips
From the same cup we both take sips

Just one love
Just one kiss
I never thought it would be like this

A candle a flame that wont go out
You are my wish
Someone I could never extinguish
You
Lexie Jan 2014
You
You shut me out
You closed the door
You told me to my face
That you don't want me anymore
You chose the path
You led me here
You want what I have
But I wouldn't give
You like my face
You hold my hand
You told me a promise
And you said that you would understand
You don't know me
You don't bear my chains
You think you love
But I know you don't
You are just confused
You are tricking yourself
You must go
Show yourself out go be gone
I need my silence I need my time
To heal to cry to say goodbye
To teach myself how to lie
I hide behind my hair
Thinking you might be watching me
Out in the world were the people are
Out in the light where you are
Lexie Oct 2018
I have peace in my soul
When I lay in the grass and face the sun
Such is the same in my heart
When I look you in the eyes
Lexie Nov 2014
the excitement I get from your touch
is like static electricity
Lexie Nov 2014
You are what you write

I am a poem full of misery
Lexie Oct 2020
When you speak
And I listen
Know your words
Are not more beautiful than my thoughts
How desperately I wish to cherish them
How desperately I wish to cherish them.
