Expositioni can't
i can't
i can't
expose myself
it hurts too much
like my tears are acid
hurting more that helping
killing me
i can't
tell my story
or
show my scars
i'll break
crack
lose it.

Lend me a kissLend me your sweet lips
Give me a soft kiss
Stay with me till the end
Let's stop playing pretend

Don't let my heart break
Let's learn from our mistakes
I'll let your love embrace
Mend me with your lovely grace

They never leave my mind
Your cherry colored lips
The roses that I have picked
And the sweetness that one day I'll kiss

Please, forgive me.Like lies, you said
I make breathing the cosmos
through rose colored lungs
look easy- vertebrae stretched
toward the moon.

& I'm hanging my bones
out to dry, carving Saturn's
rings into my wrists- my
star burst ankles.

I swore then I'd keep my
black tongued poetry
& uprooted limbs far,
far away from you.

But, like lies, galaxies,
& night fevers, you
are the destination
on my star map skin.

I'm going to cry.I'm going to cry for all I've lost,
And you can't or won't stop me.
I'm going to die for all I was,
And all you'll do is watch me.

I'm going to hide from you,
Afraid to show my weakness.
I would happily die for you,
But I still regret this.

I didn't want this life,
I didn't want these tears.
I didn't want this life,
I didn't want these fears.

I used to cause myself pain,
To make sure I still feel.
I'll do it now and again,
To make sure it's still real.

I'm going to cry for all I've lost,
And you can't stop me.
These tears I cry at my cost,
For once will flow freely.

What I hate about you.I dislike the way your smile catches the attention,
Of every single person that's near,
I utterly detest how hot you look when you're mad,
And how you always sound sincere.
I can't believe how you're always so determined,
I've never seen you give up, at all.
I really hate how sporty and athletic you are,
Or how you always make me feel small.
I hate the way my heart stops whenever I see you,
And the way my eyes scan the scene,
Just praying to catch a glimpse of you,
You always make me look overly keen.
I hate the way your laugh makes my heart flutter,
And I can't stand how cute you are,
And my god, the way you softly purr in my ear,
Is your most annoying trait by far.

WritingThe walls around her are built of writer's blocks,
the desk of rage and blankness and frustration;
the ocean in which the ship of her mind sails
is void of fish and other sea-life

Then, words float along, riding on thought-clouds --
She extends one arm, the tip of her fingers touching
the ribbons of letters that trail paper kites,
and taking these ribbons, she gathers them into

a tangle of words.

She plays with the words, messes around with them,
sings them, lets the texture of each letter
roll off her tongue in quick and slow succession.
Then she takes these textures, these resonances,
and fits each word into a neat puzzle,

to

I Comfort MyselfWith a warm drink, whispering secrets to my own reflection.

The struggles that plague me, though none may know,

Are only for the ears of my quiet mirror, who smiles

Softly, warmly and with care. He tells me, I'm fine

I've done well for now and soon I may finally rest.

Though the silence continues to press upon me,

Weighing upon my soul like an iron crate.

Still I find comfort in whispering secrets,

If only to my own reflection - holding a warm drink...

Heart SongLove it is a hunger
A powerful, burning need
Love it is a river
Born in a teardrops seed
Love it is a melody
That gives us wings to fly
Love it is a daydream
That's echoed in a sigh
Love it is a Prayer
That heals the hurting soul
Love it is a comfort
It's tender warmth enfolds
Love can raise and lift you
Love can break you down
Love can overwhelm you
So deep that you could drown
Love it has no reason
No logic and no sense
Love it is a marvel
What else is so immense?
Love can climb a mountain
And change a human heart
Love can cross an ocean
That keeps two hearts apart
Love it see's our beauty
And looks right through our flaws
Love if we just let it
Can open bolted doors
Love all things can conquer
For that's what love is for
Love if we just let it
Will show us heavens shore...

Hear me howl.Tell me again, Father,
I’m the perfect daughter-

when all I want to be
is the crescent moons
resting like strong soldiers
in the grooves of my palms.

I am but
(outgrown)
lonely bones,
quaking with frostbite,
numbed with rage.

A wolf's jaw:
locked, teeth tearing
into the chilled flesh
of your neck.

Don't Talk To Me    "I'm sorry," I said, and meant it.

    She nodded, her expression unfathomable. "Me too."

    There was a long pause.

    "Just two days ago," I said quietly, avoiding her eyes, "we couldn't even be in the same room without going for each other's throats."

    She turned away. "Yeah," she admitted. "But look at us now."

    I continued, "And just two months ago we were the best of friends. But look at us now." This time I looked directly at her, smiling mirthlessly.

    "But look at us now," she

Reality Verses The DreamReality Verses The Dream.

Above the confines of the earths atmosphere.

I am embraced by the luminous clouds.

With the stars in reaching distance.

Surrounded by the acoustics of the sea.

Accompanied by the alluring scents of nature.

Observing the planets that stand like monuments.

This is the place where my body wants to be.

These are the sights my eyes want to see.

This is place where my mind can be free.

This is the only place where I can truly be me.

Now back to reality.

And the self perpetuating insanity.

Constricted by the codes of a conscripted morality.

Living in a world that is drenched in disparity.

How will I ever be a

An Oath to My FatherAn Oath to My Father:

The chill of winter is nothing, when compared to the cold inside my heart.

A fire, once stoked by the warmth of family, has quietly died, five falls past.

I dream of my father, who watches from beyond the realms - and my ancestors

Who fought against an endless army of giants, to win the lands we have today.

Just as a devout man honours his God through worship, I honour them through my axe!

Each stroke of the whetstone, each screech of the metal, brings me closer to them -

Even as I draw closer to my doom. Oh how I can feel him, for the anger in my blood

Boils evermore as I sense him approaching my camp. He is hun

Daydreamers Amongst UsTo those daydreamers amongst us
Tomorrow will soon be today
So choose every word carefully
As they might be the last you say

And they will echo through time
After your final shadow is cast
But those words and those emotions
Will have no place in the past

They'll take their place in tomorrow
And every day to the end of time
Your words, your thoughts and your wisdom
Will deviate us from straight lines

And show people there's another way
Peace and love can re-wire our brains
Show us how to avoid hatred
And from negative feelings refrain

Otherwise I can see suffering
But on an unheard of scale
Nations and religions will collide

Poets have the loneliest hearts.I drink morphine
like peach tea;
down 6 pills by morning
just to keep my mind
filled up
with nothing.

& I know I can go days
without speaking a word
but-

I want a moon shy girl
with wolves at her back,
bite mark ankles &
a bottle of writer’s tears
tucked under one arm.

I want to be end of the war
kisses bruised into her hipbones;
the epilogue written over her
tiger-striped skin.

With these wisteria limbs
February cold, &
these weak lungs
exhaling coralline whispers,

I’ve got a tongue for words
but still have no idea how to love
a universe girl.

Long Way DownWhen I was twenty-five,
I first met the woman,
Who would one day be my wife,
And to my surprise, there would be others,
Who'd help her save my life...
They have become my light...

They keep me breathing
Keep me feeling
Keep me believing

They are everything that I've ever needed

They have eyes that are fathomless,
I fall into them and drown
So head over heels in love with them,
Let me tell you, it's a long way down
(Keep me breathing)(A long way down)
(Keep me feeling)(A long way down)
(Keep me believing)I am falling, because forever is a long way down

Belonging to them, body and soul,
This is what I love to live for,
They k

Reflection

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I stare at myself.
And try to see whats inside.
Look past the body,
See the soul and mind.
I wonder what secrets
Lay deep in my heart...
All the things I hide.
The girl I kept in the dark.
Am i still the same person?
Or am i someone else.

Simple and yet gripping. How long did you stare at your reflection?

Simple, relatable, and flows well.

it's not that poetic to me, maybe it's because it's a cliche or your style, but it doesn't really matter. If you are satisfied with this then that's almost al what matters. (:

Beautiful piece. Although it could have been a bit more...poetic-esque, it's still lovely. <3
