A Beautiful Struggle
I wanted nothing,
I wanted you,
And this spoiled brat got
What was coming to.
All I want from you
Is mutuality.
Turns out it’s hard for you
To simply notice me.
A snake is what you are,
Sneaky, emotionless,
You suck me of life.
It’s always me to clean up your mess.
My sweet addiction?
The addiction part,
Not of you, but of me;
Addicted to breaking my own [...]
My Thoughts On You
He said: “You’ll never know the pain
Of unrequited love”
That lying, cheating idiot,
Off come the gloves.
This is what I dream about,
That you mean what you say,
Isn’t it sad that my fantasy
Is truth, and that you’ll stay?
I mean, other girls, they dream about
So much more than this.
And a little bit of security,
Wouldn’t go a miss.
And you’ve the [...]
Rock Bottom, C.L.
This stinging,
The smoke,
The nicotine to my head,
It’s something I’m grateful to feel.
Because the heartache,
The tears,
And the memory of you,
These wounds will never heal.
Who is this?
This shell,
This tired, lonesome girl,
Who had never felt so glum.
A stranger,
A mystery,
The reflection I see…
What have I become?
I can’t believe,
It meant nothing?
Every look you gave,
A lie covered by a smile…
And so [...]
Heartbreak Repeats
The beat that skips with your touch,
The gasp that draws when you clutch,
The urge that pangs when you look,
The grin that forms with what you took.
The butterflies with every kiss,
The longing for every breath I miss,
The frailty that grows with your smile,
The memory that falls with every mile.
The deepest insight to your mind,
The love that [...]
A Single Seed
A seed I plant, it wilts at first,
And less encouraged by the soils thirst.
Wind whispers over its cosy roof;
The dirt, a blanket, though somehow aloof,
It stretches its legs, and reaches up high,
Crawls out from under, wincing at the sky.
The sun shines down, it’s blinding rays,
While the seed grows up and round all ways;
It doesn’t care [...]
My Beautiful Naivety
It crossed my mind.
A thousand thoughts.
It taunts me in my sleep.
And this beautiful naivety,
I’m scared to death it’s leaving me.
The chill sinks through
Overcoming my identity.
Everything that made me unique.
The love I felt for everyone
Is now, or soon, to be a ration.
I can’t feel my heart.
It’s numb with the ideas.
I can’t help what I feel.
The loneliness [...]
Sweet Addiction
A sweet addiction:
It occupies my mind,
And sanity gets harder to find.
His heart beats on mine, and it doth grind.
Skin’s only so thick, but his stare cuts rind.
To fall for me? Well, love is blind,
But not the callous, hateful kind!
This operation operates as a bind.
A playful laugh and lust combined,
Although outside I remain refined.
Just for the [...]
Love and Hate
On yonder paths our hearts did swell;
The livelihood of our own hell.
Simplicity of God’s good will;
Sweetness in song sounds so shrill.
With every smile you gave to me,
It’s easier for them to see,
Nothing more than loneliness
Is what beseeched me to say “yes”.
Another dawn, my eyes ajar,
I shiver, partly; troubles and scars.
My dreams, so real, like infant’s [...]
A Life For A Life
Monosyllabic clicks they bare.
And the whispers of dawn sweep through my hair.
An elderly thorn with more prick than resign,
Blackmail the punished; they will be mine.
Though timely deaths creep back awhile
They never cease to charm and beguile.
But it isn’t the claws that pull us in
With the weight of every cause and sin,
But the memories of those [...]
The Feeling of Love and Regret
Distance weeps between our love;
A separation spawned from above.
Distain that drips from eye to cheek,
My heart in whisper promised to seek.
Seconds creep as sand does drip
And others’ melancholy smiles do sip;
Surrounded by brews to beat our hearts.
My blemished mind will not depart!
A fiery glow that seeks to find
Another sweet and blameless mind,
Yet happiness wilts without [...]
