Quirky
Nikki Apr 2020
Tell me what you see
when you look at me
Do you see everything
I try so hard to hide
Would you like my little quirks?
Can I tell you
my deepest darkest secrets?
Will you run?
Or will you stay?
And accept me
warts and all

Show Me
Nikki Apr 2020
Show me everything
you think you should hide
Don't hold back
And neither will I

Never hide the best parts
I want to see it all
every part of you
That is what I signed up for

So please show me yours
and I'll show you mine

Empty
Nikki Apr 2020
Your touch
Brings me back
To nights
Full of regret

An empty bed
A hollow aching

A life never lived
Without love
Without your touch

Regrets
Nikki Mar 2020
Regrets
Fill my mind
No second chances
No do-overs
Just heartbreaking,
earthshaking regrets..

Notice me
Nikki Nov 2022
How badly must i bleed
For you to notice?
How close to the edge
Must I go
For you to care?
When will I be enough?
Who do I need to be
For anyone to notice me?
For anyone to love me?

My valley
Nikki Jan 2020
Some roads lead to idyllic forgotten valleys
With quant little streams
Breathtaking views
A colourful painting bursting with life

Other roads spit you out
In loud and crowded places
The colour and life ****** out
Doubt and fear ready to swallow you whole

You are my valley
And I miss how you could always calm me down
Even at my worst
Just by being there

The Abyss
Nikki Dec 2023
Do you ever wonder
About those standing
At the end of the world
Staring into the abyss
Wondering what’s on the other side

Would you look into their eyes
And ask them why?
Before they go down

Will you give them a second thought
Before you continue on your path
Or easily forget
Like it was only a whisper of the wind
In the darkest hour

A happy beginning
Nikki Nov 2022
Always the lonely passenger
In the empty train car
Imagining carefree laughter
And mindless banter

In search of
A little flicker of hope
To know that there could be more to life
Than those empty,
Agonizingly lonely years.
That it was leading me
To my happy ending
And my happy beginning

— The End —
