My blue eyes once held the sky
But now it only holds the sea
Tears raining down from the heavens
Crashing onto the world like waves

But it hasn't rained in years
Because I'm lost in a sea of emotions
And I'm so out of control that
I can't feel anything anymore

My cataracts hide my emotions like clouds
Because my eyes were once the sky
And they can't get over the fact that they aren't the sky anymore
So they're stuck on the horizon

Never being the sky
Never being the sea
Forever in between
My blue eyes

My heart cried out as she did
And bled out when her teeth sank into her arm
Muffling her screams... This kid

Desperately searching for a key
I picked up my pink and fluffy, bite sized alpaca
And ran back to her side... I can not leave her be

Wrapped in the arms of a friend
Her eyes stared right into mine, almost pleading
I hand her the alpaca... Hoping her sadness will end

"Is this important to you?" "No"
With tremendous rage, she rips off it's tags, it's clothes, and it's chain
My heart sinks as my fluffy friend is torn apart... But these feelings I stow

Because when she asked, distraught
"Is this important to you?"
I immediately thought
*Yes... But not nearly as much as you.

Take a Look at Me by Nikki R.

Take a look at me. I am like an Eagle.  I know you see me soaring.
Better yet, compare me to a lioness.  I know you hear me roaring.
Take a look at me.  Watch and learn.
I have so much to give and expect little in return.
Take a look at me.  My potential is glaring.
Take a look at me.  Trust me, I won’t stop you from staring.
Please understand that you can’t define my elevation by your lack of motivation.
You can’t dull my illumination by throwing shade in your conversations.
You can’t stop my zeal because my joy—you will never steal.
Take a look at me.  What do you see?  Take a look at me.
I Am She!  ©Nikki R.
The night
The lights
The looks
The smiles
The flirting
The touching
The unwanted want
The desire...

The music
The drinks
The laughter...
Sparkles
Conversations
Desire...

Hands
Skin
Touch...­
No reasoning.
3am going
6am return...

The walk...
Thoughts
Decisions
Gone.

Hearts are bleeding,
Partners are needing,
Souls are dying,
Minds are writhing.

My arms remember what it feels like,
Holding you in them.
My lips remember your taste,
And your eyes that are gems.

The best jewelry sparkles in those jade eyes,
Which are the color of fresh grass;
My problem is that I remember these things,
Yet they're out of my grasp.

my body is numb
my head aches
my eyes hurt
my mouth is wrinkled
my arm hangs
my legs are twisted
my feet trip
my hands type

my cold, sad body sits here with tears falling down my face as i think about you and every memory we shared and all I know is I miss you more than words could ever say.

The rustle of sheets
the pacing of feet
and the lights outside flicker
in the dark street
that is covered in sleet
the house is losing heat
shiver under blankets
to gain warmth is a feat
when the big hand meets
the little hand, there are seats
that are inanimate and cold
anxiety ain't sweet
anxiety ain't sweet
anxiety ain't sweet

Anxiety
is a breath never released
suffocation of the lungs
and the whole of your mind
Anxiety
is a clock
that never stops ticking
with the constant click, from past to present
Time never ends
and oh darling
nor does anxiety.
