READY I GUESS
I’m listening to Dave at twilight tryna convince you to be my starlight, Two trains in different stations but heading the same location, I understand your mother’s caution but you need to get off probation, She hates what she does but she needs it, Somebody has to teach a leng some direction, I can tell your heart is cold but it’s still beating, Emotional suppression keeps you breathing, Almost turned pagan but you keep believing, I find no harm in a little living, Jump from your nest and ...
games YOU play
You broke me and I still crave you, Shattered into multiple pieces yet each screams for you, Funny enough, I know better yet I still dance to your tune Maybe I don't know better after all Toxicity innate much? Or is it you that scrambled, jumbled, tumbled and mumbled with my own existence, my feelings Invading my mind in the worst ways, Controlling my body in scary ways, Luring my soul to oblivion, It's the games you play, 50 shades of you and still counting How do you manage to possess me i...
HEY, YOU
Happy birthday to you, I wish you a long life because you’re funny and smart and kind I wish your wishes come true And I wish that within your wishes I lie Congratulations on making it to another year And to us for finding each other when we did May you grow older And may we grow closer I’m sorry the poem I wrote for your birthday never got to you and all that did was "happy birthday" There was so much I wanted to say, so much I had to say I took to my diary instead and you have to know ...
JUST A GIRL?
Today I let my thoughts run their course My letters to the world piling up I might as well share My thoughts all over the place even in dark places I can't let them out Does that say I'm human? Or does it say I got too much time for my own good? Or I'm just a curious girl I bet the strangest place I've been executioners would have a field day Or the jury. I let motions rolls through me It gets rocky to be fair but it's kept me conscious Being in the present, here, now is all I care about T...
A LITTLE LIFE
The most intense lessons I carried with me How i remember you, us It's okay because ours was a current that swept us off the ground to the shore Except it wasn't a soft landing The flames were bright, burned strong But the thing with flames is they die out eventually And with flames we were bound to get burned The scars I carry with me I share my space with them because they settled We made a pact that they'd never hurt You, you must have figured a way around that too The way I see it you're...
DEAR OLD LOVER
Dear old lover, How many poems I shall write I wonder, How many days until I see you again if at all I wonder, How many more sleepless nights I shall endure is a mystery, How many more letters I shall have to write and burn Your gaze, your touch, Your smile, the sound of your voice, Your love, my love, How much loneliness need I harbor I wonder, How much more of this old love shall I yearn, How much longer I shall have to endure I wonder Your heart, I mean mine that you own screams desperati...
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE_2
Life took a turn alright, that the decisions we made together are shameful and miserable, The life we lived and thought to love so much wasn't a life either, We were quite the messy wreckage, ruined even before we met You, irreparable and me, with quite the PTSD I might have had to make some choices, me or you... And for a change this time i might have chosen differently I chose to not choose you, to let you fall because your heavy weight was crashing me You'd let me drown, break, suffocate You ...
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
First, your flowers miss, well deserved You grew them without questioning Pricked and bled, still no questions Watered, watched some dry, and still no questions Your flowers little one, you earned those. Second, congratulations on making it here, You stayed awake crying, you stayed awake planning You spent days crashing out, still you never lost sight Your health, mind, life, all put to test and still you rose Congratulations on making it here, for being the strongest. Third, promise to ris...
