Stronger
Zoe H Dec 2013
One time there was a girl
And she was happy
But sadness was always hanging over her head
And peering over her shoulder
She was depressed
And insecure
And she thought no one knew how that felt

Then one day she met a boy
Who had known what it was like
To be beaten down with heavy fists
And told he wasn't good enough

They met by coincidence
She was home when the chaos struck his house
He came running
Calling

He met her
And he could see
How insecure she was
But despite her insecurities
He thought she was beautiful  

And she knew he understood what she felt like
Lost
Insecure
Hurt
She knew he could see through her disguise
And she could see through his
And they fell in love
Because love is stronger
Then the wounds
Pain leaves

Afraid To See It
Zoe H Dec 2013
She free falls,
Tumbling,
Searching,
Waiting,
Wishing some good fortune would catch her.
Their biting words,
Forever echoing in her ears.
Ugly,
Fat,
Alone.
She spins violently,
Her heart breaking more and more,
With every word.
As she gets older,
And she begins to accept herself,
To love herself.
But their words come back,
And they hit her like a brick wall.
Eliminating that sliver of confidence she had,
Which took years to find,
And seconds to break.
She returns to the all-to-familiar process,
Hiding the hurt behind fake smiles,
And more made up happiness,
The happiness everyone thinks is real.
But in reality she’s lost,
Hurting,
And breaking.
But they are to blind to see it,
They are afraid to see it

Dropped Glass & War Paint
Zoe H Dec 2013
in her broken moments
shattered like a dropped glass
she was a catastrophic whirlwind
with makeup streaked down her cheeks
evidence of the war she was loosing
*one battle at a time

i hope she loves you-
Zoe H Dec 2013
i hope you find someone you adore
just as much as i adore you

i hope she loves you in a way i never could
the way i thought you loved me

i hope she makes you just as happy
as that terrible rap music
you loved to listen to

and i hope she can talk to you
about all the things i couldn't

i hope you spend your times together
with unconditional love
and wonderful memories

i hope she is everything for you
that i was willing to be

because in the end
what you wanted
wasn't me

I love all of you
Zoe H Dec 2013
I fell in love with your imperfections
Your messy hair
Your bad attitude
And your lack of ambition

I fell in love with your tendencies to curse
Your broken heart
Your bruises
And your quickness to anger

I fell in love with all of you
Your shuffling steps
Your crooked smile
And your not-so-athletic abilities

I loved all of you
I love all of you
A work in progress

Nothing
Zoe H Dec 2013
There she  sat
As always
Feeling nothing
But unimportant nothingness,
Absolute emptiness,
And the incredible feeling that to them,
She was *nothing

Darling
Zoe H Dec 2013
Darling** you don't want to die,
You just no longer want to live.
Your sick of all these horrid days,
And all the pain they give

Darling you don't want to cry,
You just need to let it go.
I know you're trying so hard,
It's ok to let it show.

Darling you don't want to eat,
But try to be strong.
Starving yourself is no way,
To continue on.

Darling I can see the pain,
You've kept bottles up inside.
But no matter what you think,
I'll always be by your side.

Instead Of You
Zoe H Dec 2013
I will forever wish
That I was the one
Taking the hit
Instead of you

I will forever wish
That I was the one
Who was hurting
Instead of you

I will forever wish
That I was the one
With shallow sobs escaping at night
Hidden from the world
Instead of you

And I will forever wish
I could be the one
Staying by your side
Loving and protecting
*you

We All Want
Zoe H Dec 2013
We all wish to be happy,
But we bring each other down,
With our harsh words,
And taunting ways.

We all wish for love,
But we break each others hearts,
And we cause each others doubt,
With our unfaithfulness.

We all wish for kindness,
Yet we treat others,
as if they are dirt,
Under our feet.

We all want great things,
But in reality,
We don't do great things,
*Because we are not great people.

Don't
Zoe H Dec 2013
Don’t  make excuses for your flaws,
They only make you human.
Don’t  try to hide your scars,
They mean you got through it.
Don’t pretend everything is perfect,
I know that not the case.
Don’t tell me your ‘just fine’,
To put a smile on my face.
You see we’ve all been broken,
Or hurt at least one time.
So don't you dare fake a smile,
To give me peace of mind.

Forever
Zoe H Dec 2013
I still don't understand
Exactly what happened to forever
All I know is now
My nights are no longer filled
With the sweet words of your text messages
Your arms no longer linger
Around my waist
They way they used to frequent
And I can't help but feel
Completely alone

a lost goodbye
Zoe H Jun 2014
you being who you are
and me being undeniably, hopelessly in love with you
I should have known things would be like this
I should have known one day we'd be strangers
now the silence is deafening
and i feel your absence more than I ever felt your presence
more than anything I want to let go
I want to say goodbye
but I cant bring myself to admit
that your not coming back

Rewired Love
Zoe H Jan 2015
It was as if love had rewired itself for them.
It was something special.
It was the way their hearts beat at the same time.
The way laughing was easy and uncontrollable,
The way the ended up together for all the wrong and very right reasons,
It was everything and nothing all at once,
But it sure was beautiful

— The End —
