Crying doesn't solve your problems
It only vents the emotion
But still I cry
And wait for love

I never want to let you go
So many tears on our trail
But I will still weep when you leave
You have blown through my life like an autumn breeze
You leave me cold but brisk
Lexie Oct 2019
When I am missing you
The stars fall out of my eyes
Lexie Jul 2019
water won't hold
all my sorrow
salty tears
all my grief
Lexie Apr 2019
The high part of the night
Is whistling
Shrill is the death of the light
Stubborn in its remorse

She was, in the marrow of her bones
The first day of spring, a full supermoon
A night young in its rising
A planet indecisive in its spinning

These are the powdered sugar thoughts in the mountains
Dusting the peaks with snow
Citrine slumber, beneath a suicidal sun
Crystal remembers, when the stars forget
Lexie Oct 2015
"Oh, what a sweet culture," you spoke as I entered the room.

And I did not know if you meant a country
or the kind of culture in yogurt.
Lexie Dec 2021
I allow nothing in my life to be shallow
I cannot help but wonder
If you are honest with yourself
Are we not aligned
We eclipse, spin into orbit
Ships in the night
Are you in the deep now
Is it too much for you
I will tread with you
I am the current
I am not the shore
I am the mover, the taker, the unfathomable
You are there when I draw near
Though it seems there are places in you
I will never reach, untouchable
Hold your kingdoms as what they are
People and places
Nothing more
I drew in to you
My streams among your surfaces
Nothing more
You have turned me back to the shores
We are nothing more
Lexie Jan 2018
I really just don't like alot of things
I don't even like myself
Lexie Jan 2014
I see so many colors
In a world of black in white

I see a land of peace
Though all I do is fight

I fell the wind on my face
But its nothing but broken glass

I thought it wouldn't take long
But all it does is last

Cursed to walk this evil place
Cursed to bear the weight of the world

I'll take your pain and I'll take your sorrow
And I'll carry it for you until tomorrow

I'll brace myself and I'll speak in your tongue
But just remember I am only one
Lexie Jan 2014
Slicing deep
Cutting down
To the bone
To a heart all alone
Softer than rock
Colder than stone
A painful death to atone

No accident
Its on purpose
I need the pain to distract
I don't want to look back
Cutters.
Cya
Lexie Nov 2014
Cya
Dead in my head
And blood on my bed
No chance to say goodbye
**** this life
I just don't understand

*Why?
Lexie Sep 2018
Sometimes I only have endings in me
And just as the buds are beautiful in the Spring
The plucking of dead leaves has its place in the world
Lexie Jan 2016
**** these words, in my head
**** these wounds, how they bled
A cord that tightens
And strings that break
I'm a paper town
Thin, fragile, and frail

**** this fight, I cannot win
**** these demons, that laugh within
A butterfly bereft of its wings
And a discarded cocoon
I'm a shell
That broke to soon

**** these sleeves, that hide
**** my head, logic tried
A sliver of sanity
And a drop of hope
I'm clinging to it
Like a rope

**** these games, we play with words
**** this heart, that's never heard
A night I'll never have
And stars I'll never see
I'm blind and alone
Come look with me
Lexie Dec 2015
for though you my dearest friend
speak in riddles of ages long past
and talk in the tongues of angels
I do understand your ways

you my closest companion
have lived with me in my heart
through all these years and journeys
so many uncounted days

ever we dance under the sun
like branches we humbly bow
before the thrones of the stars
to please the moon, in her waking

a hushed whisper of wind
breathes into our very souls
a fire lighting a candle
a beautiful spirit in it's making

we don't need wings to fly
just feet to dance the earth
where it ever to shrivel up
become a husk and fade away

we would still dance
it's memory into the cosmos
set it in stone forever
never to crack or chip like clay

I could never be better
and always be worse
I just want to dance with you
with you until I die

to be your waltz
and the beat in your heart
the melody you play
when you start to cry

when you long for amnesia
because you can't stand
can't stand to remember
I will be the love in your eyes

the dead, the sweetest stars
inside of your broken mind
don't worry my friend
I will sing you back alive

streets aren't made for everybody
that's why they built sidewalks
you don't have to like it
just move to the right

this isn't world is for everybody
but don't you dare leave
if you don't like it
just cry through the night

what inspired me in the beginning
what were you words?
I didn't have to hear them
they just had to be felt

it's not how you talk
or what you chose to wear
it's what you have inside
no matter how it's spelt

what matters will last
no matter what the cost
days and nights you know
but this life is to fast

we live for today
you dance in the present
it' about us, in the now
not about the past

the half of you on the inside
trying to break out
break out of the bars
without the keys

sustainable on your love
always enough, just keep me high
on your level I stay there
never on my knees

though I pray as I dance
and take every chance
to know you more
please let me in

though we fight many battles
and win many wars
don't question the past
of where I've been

I live in my casket
and I died on your lips
but I would dance the world
for just one kiss
Lexie Sep 2017
I lose all that I hold most dear
So I dare not even touch you
Lexie Jan 2014
Drugged by smoke
Blinded my light
Frozen in silence through the night
Wreathed in shadows
Coated in blood
Hiding the secrets
Serving the dark one
Lexie May 2019
Dares are for fools
Age knows no numbers
Regrets are nothing
Kept in secret

Age knows no numbers
Regrets are nothing
Kept in secret
Dares are for fools

Kept in secret
Dares are for fools
Age knows no numbers
Regrets are nothing

Regrets are nothing
Kept in secret
Dares are for fools
Age knows no numbers

Dares are for fools
Age knows no numbers
Regrets are nothing
Kept in secret

Keep in secret
Regrets are nothing
Age knows no numbers
Dares are for fools

Death comes slowly
To those that bait her
Moons rise slowly
In a sky that would taint her
Lexie Feb 2014
Love is never easy
All magic comes with a price

I paid and you reaped
You laughed and I weeped

Its funny looking back
All I see is your trail of black

The light are out
The night seeks me now

You told the demons where to find me
You taught the ropes how to bind me

Tighter
Tighter
Just let it pull

Higher
Higher
Just let it burn

Is this just another lesson learned
Lexie Dec 2017
Oh that you were made of light
But I still crave for you in this darkness
To sleep with all that I can never be
For I am never enough on my own
To understand how to live
In a world as dark as my own
For the sun will be a long time in its rising
So the stars still cling to the sky
The moon she is full, and pours out tears of ice
Into the heavens to crown the earth

I am just this darkness
As you cannot see
I am all you never want to be

I am a good friend
To wreath your secrets in my shadows
And I cling to your broken pieces
Even as they split into my skin
Splinters of heaven, they find their way
Racing through watered down veins
To find a dark dark heart
With the quietest of mouths
And the most unconventional of minds
In the strangest of places
For shadows are not something you can seek
And life is not something that one can keep
Lexie Aug 2016
when you cry yourself to sleep
because you don't know what else to do
when you cry yourself to sleep
just to make it through

when tears are your rocks
and cheeks your cliff
and you run over the edge
into the abyss

when you cry yourself to sleep
in the dark of night
when you cry yourself to sleep
with not a soul in sight

when dreams are your ship
and your body an anchor
lost in the water
drowning in danger
Lexie Aug 2016
Sometimes I am on capable of knowing one thing
And that is enough to sustain me
I cling to the fact of love
And the abundance I have for you
My heart shall contain no other
For to you it shall belong
As deep as the dark of the night
And as bright as the light of the sun
As lengthy as desires of my heart
Will I continue to love you
And only you
Darling
Lexie Jan 2014
I'm sick and lonely
I need your love
I'm tired and cold
I need your touch
I want more
I need more
Its you darling I adore
Lexie Jan 2014
Darling if you love me
You have to be brave
Darling if you love me
Don't let go of my hand
Darling if your love me
Hold your head high
Darling if you love me
Don't you forget
Darling if you love me
Don't ever leave
Darling if you love me
Kiss me sweetly
Darling if you love me
Tell me you need me
Darling if you love me
Say so now
Darling if you love me
Let the wind knock us down
Darling if you love me
Lay in the cold snow
Darling if you love me
Let everything else go
Darling if you love me
Tell me what I need to know
Darling if you love me
Don't you ever ever go
Lexie Jan 2016
I wait
to be discovered
like the sun
chases the horizon


I breathe
in the morning air
and the crispness
of its kiss

I let go
of the night
and its darkness
and rise into today
Lexie Jul 2019
I am nimbled fingered
Braiding flowers
In the devils hair
If he wants
To know my secrets
I will whisper
Them into his ears myself
About how susan
Got her black eye
Queen Anne
Tore her lace
When the summer lighting
Thundered down
How much golden rods
Are really worth
I am a wild flower
Spinning in fields
Winding vines around your leg
Until I crumble to Adam and Eve dust
In a primrose casket
We love
With fingers crossed
Behind our backs
Lexie Oct 2019
Found him, floating
In the river

That's two
Lexie Sep 2014
Dear Happily Ever After,

I regret to hear that your arrival will be delayed
That the circumstances weren't right
I hope that we can come so some agreement
And make adequate accommodations
I hope that when you do come
That is if you so chose
You may perhaps decide to reside
Permanently
And bring what we may be lacking

Wistfully yours,
Tomorrow
Lexie Nov 2017
My mind had gone to death
And soon the rest of me shall follow
Lexie Aug 2018
Do you feel
As I have felt

With a mind
Lacking thoughts

Like an empty tomb
Buried in the earth
Lexie Jun 2019
You dreamed I got stabbed 27 times
Which is crazy
Because you should know
Dying happens on the inside

I dreamed you drowned
When the waters ran over in May
I left your body in the water
Relieved of the promises
That still torment your spirit

I am an even keel
Still waters do run deep
The earth was hollow yesterday
Until we buried our secrets in her
Robbing her of innocence

Are my words dead to you now
Like the tree we used to climb
When we were younger
And not so good at lying

You cried wolf, I cried white
You took the color from my veins
Stole color from my pain
Painting me out to be the bad guy

It's never that black and white
You played me like piano keys
When I was just happy to be dancing with you
Before I ever heard music

I wanted to ask
Would you still **** me
If I was the last star in the sky
Will I always be guessing
Which half of your promises you intended to keep
Which half broke me
If shooting stars are just floating space junk
Or if wishes do you come true
Just yours and never mine
Lexie Sep 2020
Tell me
Your fantasy of God
Of goodness
Kindness
Tell me of sinners
And death
Speak of angels
Lexie Sep 2022
What will you masquerade as love
When your body speaks
What does she say
Lexie Jan 2018
there is truth in all things
even lies
the truth is not the lie
it is in the lie
if you look for it
Lexie Nov 2020
Self care
Is the harmony of body
With the acknowledgment of soul
And the intentional wellness of both
Lexie Nov 2014
I am pretty like one drop of pure water
in an ocean of salt water

I am different, but you can't see me
amongst so many parched souls
Lexie Feb 2021
When I am in deeper waters
You can swim my body back to shore
Know my spirit is still treading
In the depths
Lexie Oct 2020
Self care is a gift
To your future self
Lexie Sep 2014
the depth of the chasm is deep, put the perception is not yet wide
Lexie Aug 2019
The world will see me
She will not know me
Lexie Nov 2018
Do you feel the desert sun
As it pulls
All the moisture from your skin
You barter for each breath
Lest it escape between your lips
There is smoke in the night
It stings your eyes
Full bodied in your chest
The sand is warm between your toes
It burns with the heat of the day
Although the sun
Barely laid to rest
In her bashfulness
Looking for her stamina
To wear tomorrow
One would not think
Gravity would pull so hard
It does not seem fair
When the stars
Look so beautiful
Call so close
I shudder in the dunes
Oh that dreams were a grain of sand
That they were as weightless
It is not such
I cannot bury the tears
Even still they fall into the earth
A kiss that becomes a vapor
I will water the earth
Pouring into her
My pores vacant
My spirit follows
She makes me toil
I am not above my humanity
It humbles me
Staircase of pride
Stumbling block
How does one face a new day
I bite my tongue
To spit in the face of destiny
Is a fools errand
Yet she has done me no favors
I owe her no respect
A token slipped between hand
A bet and a wager
That will not be paid
Unless blood is spilt
Earth claims all, as she bore all
Sand in the desert, burying secrets
The ground knows so much
She does not taste
But swallows up
She is a scholar of sinners
Outlasting the shudders of your spine
Patient is she
It costs her nothing to wait
Lexie Feb 2018
I just want everything to be okay
Lexie Oct 2019
You brought sins of the world
Into our house
Plucked them out of fields
Of the earth
Until your basket was full

I loved you, like water
Pouring over
Into every crevice
Loving over your rough edges
Until they became smooth

Your love for me, a seed
The earth not ready to bare
A womb infertile
With the sins of those before
A catacomb of aching
And yet, when placed in my hands
The sprouts dug into my palm
Turning towards the sun

Did you know the dark
Under the stars
Before it was fearless
Before it stretched out it's wings
Sinking its teeth
Into the sun
Before the stars bowed down
To crown the heavens
In new mercies
Before I was fear
Chasing after the strength of the earth
Until it was worn out
Lexie Dec 2015
If you took all the books in the world
And stacked them up in a tower
It would still, be shorter than my desperation
I am a weakened flower

I search all the pages for answers
And I cannot find your face
I would tear the world apart
To put you in your rightful place

Next to me, inside my heart
To dance in my veins
Draw on the walls of your prison
And drown out all the names

Desperate times call for desperate measures
I ladled in to much worry and doubt
And my hopes would rise
I loaf around in search of a way out

Time is of the urgency
This clock ticks to fast, to slow
I crawl inside my mind
For it is the only place I know

I have no friends hidden in there
Yet am not completely alone
I can speak my own mind
Without worry to condone

Thoughts of mine drift past
As sharp as shards of glass
I think to grab them
But they cut their way past

A ****** hand sometimes
A ****** heart always
Hooks are not the answer
To put a fire in full blazes

My grasp, you so easily evade
Do I really seek to catch you
So desperate in my own ways
But you always seem to slip through

Strong am I? Never strong enough
Of all the lovers in the world
I have the worst of all the luck
To be drawn to you, with fingers unfurled

You dance to fast
And I sing much to slow
But you pull me tight
And I cannot let go

I search for you and find
To see your beautiful face
In the mirror next to mine
That is the best place

A morning good
A night less than bad
If this moment was
The best we ever had

It would be enough
It would have to suffice
Or be thrown to the wind
And scattered like rice

The wind can have it
My heart deserves better
I give it your worlds
Ever heartfelt letter

Desperate I am
And a child I was
But a girl knows better
Than to dance with love
Lexie Jul 2018
I tell myself I am
Such things are so
And others naught
We dream up dreams
Dream up lies
Such and so, are we caught
Fiendish thoughts
To guide friendly hands
Intentions lacking intuition
Thoughts that scream
Out of finger and hand
Pushed into remission
Lexie Jan 2014
I hear them now
I know the call
Of the Ones who wish me to fall
I stand up tall
I stand up proud
I call back to them, voice raised loud
I believe in something
I know it is real
But they don't know anything they don't even feel
I voices in my head
I know they will answer
But will I choose to listen to them
I don't know what will happen next
I just want my own destiny
A chance to believe
And a chance to be free
Lexie Apr 2019
You have fallen to your knees
Who will teach you to walk the line when I am faded
When I am burnt out

I was playing with pyromaniacs
Pyromaniacs playing with fire
Fire leading them along
Fire teaching them to dance
Undulating their whole body
Letting fear find their fingers
Fear bind their tongues
Some lessons no sooner learnt than forgotten
This one not among them

She is not lost
She who runs hell
She who dances naked in the halls
With thorns pressed into her hands
Grasping at roses not yet bloomed

You press on my bruises
Wishing for them to bleed
Have you never met shooting stars
The ones the sky let's rule for a solitary moment,
the earth's candle wishes

This is the way fire dances
A soul barren of burden
Though she claim all your possessions
And bite the tongue behind your teeth
You will not remember, what held so little light
A tender bite with a wild appetite
Lexie Oct 2023
Grief is my religion
And oh, how earnestly I worship
Lexie Nov 2020
If you would have told me
The devil would come to me
Well dressed with empty pockets
I would not have believed you
When he did
I turned the fabric that lined my soul
Inside out
And he plucked
Every last penny and shiny coin
From the folds of my skies
Only to ask me
Where my stars had gone
Lexie Dec 2020
I wouldn't say I suffer from false sanity
Rather, glass sanity
Where in an emergency it is broken
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
