The more steps I take the more I lose my breath
I try to run but I can’t escape
It’s getting closer I think it’s too late


It caught  me again

My heart starts pounding
My hands start shaking
Nobody can hear me
Nobody can help me
Lela May 2020
I am so mad that I have to live in a world where
**** jokes are funny
catcalling is normal
touching with no permission is not a big deal
and where boys complain that they have to ask for consent
But feminism is bad, right?
Lela Mar 2020
Sometimes I wish I was living in a big glass house
With no furniture
Just me and my glass house

I wish it was placed in a big forest
With just trees around
Just me, my glass house and a big forest

I wish nobody would visit me
Because I want to be alone
Because I’m tired of being lonely
Just me, my glass house and a big forest
Alone

I wish to die in my glass house
Surrounded by trees
Alone
So nobody could mourn my death
Lela Dec 2019
This world was not made for both of us
And I finally realized that we can't just cut off each other's wings all the time
One will have to say goodbye


I hope it's  not going to be me
Lela Dec 2019
I want to cry but I don't have any tears left.
I bottled them on and sent them to you hoping you would also shed a tear or two.
Lela Dec 2019
It's been a while since we last talked
How have you been? Do you stay hydrated and smile a lot?
I've heard she makes you smile more than I ever did
I'm really glad you found someone better than me

Okay, I won't bother you anymore
You don't have to pick up the phone
Don't call me back, even block my number if you want

Just know that I'm here
Even if that's a bad thing
It's hard but I know I hurt you. It's a good thing that you forgot about me.
Lela Dec 2019
I'm too tired to think about the concequences of my actions
i don't really care about anything or anyone anymore and i don't know if that's a good or as bad thing if I'm being complety honest.

I used to be such a stupid person - caring about everyone hoping I would get the same thing back.
Knowing that I won't but still believing.
So foolish of me to think that anyone would care about me.

But it's all clear to me now
And I've understood that the best way to hide your feelings is to not have them at all.
Lela Jan 2020
So I guess this is the end?
No more laying in your bed. No more kissing in the rain.
I can't even say your name.


I knew it would eventually end. But I didn't expect it would take this turn.
I'm in pain and I am hurt.
I completely lost myself.
I don't know what to do.
I'm afraid I won't get through.

This is scary, this is sad.
I know it's not possible, but I want you back.
Yeah, we used to fight a lot.
But I always knew what's wrong.
Now you left me so confused.

Was it me or was it you?
Lela Dec 2020
Because it’s not only “I want to **** myself”
Sometimes it’s so much more than that
Because saying that you want to **** yourself
Or to be
Dead
Is scary

Sometimes it may be sleeping way too much
Or eating less than you should
Or not caring about anything or anyone

Sometimes it’s the need to be alone even though you crave someone so badly
Or staring at a blank wall for an hour
Or not having enough tears left to cry

They say if you wanted to **** yourself you would just do it
But there still is a little bit of hope in my heart
I still believe than someone might help me
But I’m too afraid to ask

It’s so **** stupid
If I have literally nothing to lose
If my life is worth so little to me right now
Why don’t I just try

Its because my brain has already given up
But my heart’s still beating
And it won’t stop until my brain shuts it out
Lela Feb 2020
I gave you everything that I could
I pushed all my boundries just to please you
You say that you don't believe I care because I didn't kiss you once?
This is so pathetic even for my standards

You treat me like **** all the ******* time
But you expect me to be yours? This doesn't add up

The saddest part is that I can't let you go
And I won't ever leave you because I'm dumb
Lela Jun 2019
The sunlight wakes me up at 10 am, but I’m not even thinking about getting out of bed

It’s just seems so distant, impossible to reach
I know I sound dumb but it ain’t easy for me

Something keeps me nailed to this bed
I can’t move my limbs, I’m ashamed of myself

This has to end now, I can’t live this way
I lie to myself like this
Every
Single
Day
Getting out of bed should be easy but it’s not.
Lela Mar 2020
If I were to write about you I would describe all the things you did wrong.
I would explain why you don't deserve me and why you never will.
I would write about your stupid jokes and your lack of empathy.
The way you never understood what "I love you" means
I could write a song about how much I hated the way you treated me.
And my poems about you not being there for me would  never come to an end.

I could write a thousant  books about you.
And they still would be about how much I love you.
Lela Aug 2020
I want to grow old to see how my life will evolve
But at the same time I want to die young so I dont have to look back and wonder how my life would've turnt out if I did the things I never had the courage to do
I want my grandkids to be interested in all the stories I tell
But what If i won't have any?

If I died today, what would I be remebered by?
As the girl who never looked back or a girl who did everything she felt was right?
Lela Mar 2020
The stars shine so bright
I bought you the shirt you liked
We danced alone in the dark
I don't think it gets better than that
Lela Mar 2019
When the sun hits my window at 6 am
Flowers grow
Birds fly in the air
when I don’t need to borrow his jacket no more
Sweet and soft songs start hitting me slow

Long time no see spring, make yourself at home.
I’m so happy that it’s starting to get warm again :)
Lela Mar 2019
My heart’s so empty
My life’s so dull
My head’s still hurting
My soul’s been through

I don’t feel a thing
Even the pain
Is it a good or a bad thing?

Don’t know what to do
Lost in my own world
Can someone save me?
I’m about to drown
I don't know anymore
Lela Jan 2020
This is just pure madness.
He's the one I should love.
You'll break my heart and I know this!
I knew about it from the start.
Lela Jan 2020
He treats me like a princess. He makes me feel safe.
Whenever I call his name I know he'll be right there.
He says I'm the prettiest of them all. He says he'd do anything to keep me warm.
I know I can trust him enough to tell him about my darkest parts.
I know he's the one for me. I know  he would never hurt me.
He's literally perfect. In every way shape or form.




But you're the one I love.
You just got that THING in you and I can't get enough of it.
Lela Dec 2020
I washed the hoodie you left at my house.
I put it in my laundry machine and pressed start. I watched it as the smell of you forever leaves it’s fabric. All of the feelings I buried deep down inside me are gone.
It no longer holds any power over me, I no longer treat it as an enemy.
Now it’s just a piece of clothing that used to be yours
It doesn’t bring memories anymore
It is just a simple hoodie that used to be yours.

I don't sleep in it anymore. I don't keep it close to me as if it is going to protect me when the bad times come. Right now I see it only as a piece of clothing and nothing else. I am at peace with an object that never even knew I had so many feeling towards it.
It is just
a stupid
hoodie.


I let go of my claim on you
I am free.

It was itchy anyways.
Lela Mar 2020
You ignore me for days
And I start to go insane
I catch myself looking at my phone hoping you would text me way more than I should
I try to convince mysef that you're the bad guy and It's not my fault
But it's not that easy when I love you with all of my heart and soul

You don't appreciate me at all
You can't bother to pick up the phone
You hug me only when you need to feel loved
I start to think you don't even LIKE me at all

But wait, you get mad when I don't have the time?
When I'm too tired to kiss you goodbye?
When I put myself first, even  before you?

How dare you
I don't know why I let you call me your Boo
Lela Jan 2020
My heart has been yours since the day we met
You took it by storm, I had no time to protect it
I loved you with every single bone in my body
You told me we're fine, you told me not to worry

I knew I should've run
Should've left as soon as it hit me
That you'll never change, even for me

I still hope we'll be fine, just as you promised
But I'm tired of hearing your screams when I'm just being honest

I loved you with every bone in my body
And believe me when I say I tried not to worry

But I have this question stuck in my head
"How much a heart can hold before it breaks?"
I really like this one, hope you'll like it too.
Lela Apr 2020
If my body could speak
What would it say?
Would it be proud of me or ashamed?
I hope it won't complain about the way I treat it
But who am I kidding
I know I deserve it

I hope it'll give me a chance to at least say sorry
I really want to say that it doesn't have to worry
But
We both know with me it's not the case
It keeps me alive
And I treat it like a waste
Lela Feb 2020
If you were to die today the clouds won't turn grey
The news won't mourn your death
Nothing will happen to the book store you love
And "The night we met" still will be our favourite song

Only a few people will notice you're gone
My brother will still travel to Paris in a few years if he passes his exam
Nothing will really change that much
Everyone will forget your touch


BUT MY clouds will start to rain
MY BRAIN will always mourn your name
'The night we met" will make ME CRY
And the book store you love will shut down IN MY mind

I'M THE ONE who's world will collapse
Who cares about others?
I only cared about YOUR TOUCH

You were my world
Now I don't want to live on this planet anymore
I know it's hard but please don't leave me
Lela Feb 2020
I’m so sorry
You don’t deserve this
All you did was make me happy
You never hurt me

I’m so sorry I’m like this
But my life is messed up
I don’t want to drag you with me into the dark

You will never understand how sorry I am
And how much I miss you
But please, believe me, I did this to protect you

I love you
And I always will
I’ll never forget the way you made me feel

You made me so happy
Now I’m so sad
Because I no longer have you by my side

Someday you’ll understand that you’re better without me
And that all I did was hurt you with all of my sadness

I’m so sorry my demons got the best of me
I wanted to end this before I mess up so bad
That you’ll never want me back

I still hope one day we’ll end up together
Like in our plans
But I also want you to be with someone who will treat you better


I'm sick
And I’m sorry
Lela Jan 2020
I wanted to help, and you know that I did
But you wouldn't let me in
You just wouldn't open up
You didn't want me to break your heart.

Or maybe that was to protect me?
Hide me somewhere your demons won't bite
But if you're falling, just know i'll catch you
I'm not afraid, even of your darkest parts
Lela Jan 2020
Flowers will grow faster than ever
I will finally appriciate the weather
The wind won't call  your name

I will be happy and I will smile
I'll catch up with my friends because I haven't seen them in a while
The series we used to watch together will make me bored, so I'll turn it off and listen to the playlist I didn't get to send you

Everything will be alright
I will want to live my life
Everything won't be so gray
I will even forget your name

I WILL be happy and I WILL smile

I just need to stop loving you. I need to forget your eyes.
Lela Jan 2020
Why do I keep trying so ******* hard to change you
I'm not the one who made you
I can't pull all your parts out and put them in the correct place
I can't teach you how to hurt me less
I thought that I could fix you with my love
You made me think I'm the one who should fix all your flaws
Lela Dec 2019
You said that you cared
Guess that was a lie
So mad at myself for going back to the moment you told me you’re mine
Lela Dec 2019
The world ***** but I'll stay by your side as I promised when you said you want to be forever mine.
Just know that I'm really trying not to give up,
The love you give me - I hope it's enough for me to wake up
because you're the only reason I still even try, and I'm sorry I'm so hard to be kept alive
Loving me isn't easy, I hope you won't leave me. I'm trying to not be sick anymore because it's hard for both of us but we both know it doesn't work like this
Lela Apr 2019
I’m sorry
I can’t help you
I tried
Can’t get through
Lela Dec 2019
Honestly, *******
I know I'd be better without you
You're just breaking my heart,
and the worst part is
I knew it would be like this from the start
Honestly Im just mad, so its not even decent, I  just want these thoughts out of my mind
Lela Mar 2019
With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay
stay by my side for how long it will take

take me to get on my own feet
and hold my head high

but all you did was walk away without a goodbye
I wish I was mad at you but I just can't
Lela Jan 2020
I can't keep trying to make you love me
I'm so tired
It's like a job and I'm not even getting paid

I do everything to make you happy
I do everything to please you
I've changed myself completly
For you

You make me feel like I'm

w o r t h l e s s

You say you care
You ask for another chance
You say that you'll change
You say that you need me

And what do I do?

S t a y

I'll never get away from you.
Lela Mar 2019
Even tho things did not end up well
I still go back to the moments we shared
If I could I would go back in time
and fix what was broken in between us

I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you
you deserved better, and now you do what you said you would do

By this I mean that you're happy without me
I'm glad you're smiling, even if it's not caused by me.
Lela Feb 2020
I laugh once
And everyone thinks I'm happy
I have a good day
And everyone thinks I'm okay
I don't cry for one night
And everyone thinks I'm alright

There is a big difference
Between being happy
And being discracted form your sadness
Lela Dec 2019
This is the lowest I have ever been
And it hurts me so bad to think that you're the one who dragged me here
You are the one responsible for my pain
You are the one who should suffer the most
You don't even deserve to hear my voice

You are what caused all of this.
#love #pain #hurt #broken #fault
Lela Jan 2020
We're so toxic
Yet so good
We do everything we shouldn't do
We make the rules
And then we break them

So much love
But so much anger
We do everything we shouldn't do
We're not meant to be and we both know it's true

But yet we're here
Still going strong
Making each other feel so low

We should've ended this so many times
But being apart hurts even more
Than just pure hatred
Lela Jan 2020
I'm home, I miss you and I really want to kiss you
But If I come to think of it, it's not a want, it's a need
Lela Dec 2019
And as the wind blows through my hair I hear your voice calling my name.
I walk down the road we used to go together and I listen to the playlist you made me to feel better.
Every song I hear reminds me of you. Every word that goes into my ear makes my heart break in two.

It hurts to have both of my headphones singing me songs that we used to listen to, so I take one out and imagine you're sitting next to me and taking it, while I get closer to you.

The wind blows gently on my nose.
I don't want to hear your voice.
I can't even listen to sad songs anymore
Lela May 2020
Sometimes I wonder if what I'm feeling is happiness or just being less sad
Because I forgot what happy means
It's like happiness is my uncle that I see only once a year on christmas and I only say hi because I'm to scared to star a conversation because I wouldn't know what to talk about

How do I talk to a person I have nothing in common with and
why am I supposed to be the one to start the conversation?

I can't wrap my head around the fact that some poeple are mentally stable and just go about their day when they wake up without crying after the alarm rings
Why can't I be one of them?

When I was younger my parents would read me stories about magic and fairies. They told me it's not real but I still wanted to believe.
Now when people tell me it's going to get better I just stuff these words where the memories of me wanting to be a fairy are

Far away
Because I am no longer a child
and I don't believe in something that doesn't exist
Lela Mar 2019
I know my head is messed up, and honey I’m so sorry for that
I’m sorry you have to see me that way, that’s why I’m going to say what I have to say.

Even tho my life *****
Depression could leave me for once
Tears could crawl back into my eyes
And anxiety could just stop

You make me feel like I’m worth something I’m not
And I cannot thank you enough for everything that you’ve done
without even knowing you’re saving my life
Just know that you’re my sun
I love you to the moon and back
Thank you for always being there for me when I need you
Lela Apr 2019
You see
that’s the problem with me being myself
I don’t want to
Because if I already annoy myself so much
How selfish of me to torture others?
Lela Jun 2020
I thought my ears will forever forget the sound of your voice
But accidents happen
And now I no longer know what to believe
I used to think that when the day we meet finally comes I will be scared shitless not knowing what to do

But I am calm now
Because when I think of the things you did to me I realise that you were just a lesson
A tough one, I must admit but I learned a lot
And I hope you did too

Farwell, old friend
This time for good
Because I no longer am your student
Lela Dec 2019
Our love was not the one at first sight as it is in books
At first we hated each other but one conversation was all it took to get me intedrestet in who you are
We talked and we talked and we talked and talked
We grew strong togheter, made each other feel loved,
We worked and we worked we worked and worked
Hard work is not always worth it though

So glad it paid out
Best reward in the whole world
We made this relationship perfect
Lela May 2021
I just feel dizy
Where all the time go
Nothing is logical and I've lot the sense of purpose
And even though
I'm still a human
My body makes me feel like I'm just a reject
Reject of stars
Reject of life
Nothing  is logical and I've lost the sense of purpose
My body's flying
But I stay put down
Is this really the end of my existance?
Who even are we?
Lela Feb 2020
I was so broken
So broken that I let myself believe
That the love you gave me
Or - the lack of it
Was what I deserved
That it's supposed to be like this
Because love always hurts

Right?
Lela Dec 2019
People say they hate being the second choice
Because it makes them feel less important
more of an afterthought

But I
cry myself to sleep every night
thinking about what's wrong with me
Wishing for anyone to even consider me as an option.
She
Lela Dec 2019
She
I guess I'll never be okay
with the way you look at her
With the way you touch her skin
With the way she makes you feel
And it makes me sick inside
When I think that you'll never be mine
Because we both know it's true

But you're happy
And she makes you smile
And that's all I care about
I guess I'm happy for you
Lela Nov 2019
You made me yours.
But you don't want to be mine
You waste all my time by telling me lies
Where is this love you say you have for me?
Do you really want me to get on my knees and dig to find it?
Do you want me to travel the world?
Do you want me to study all the books that my library owns?
Do I really need to beg you to need me?

Stop lying.
Just tell me that you don't care so I can get up and leave.

Who am I even kidding right now?
YOU made me YOURS
But you'll never be mine
Honestly fuvk you for giving me fake hope
Lela Mar 2020
All these poems we write about this one specific person.... endless words, endless hope.
Endless dissapointment.
