If you could only say the words I need to hear,
if you could only comfort me now.
If you could only hold me like I did for you,
if only I needn't show you how.
If only my heart weren't made of coal,
so rough and easy to heat.
If only I could learn to love
if only my demands you could meet.
If only I could hear the words from you
which would put my heart at rest.
If only just once you could console my needs,
I could manage this ache in my chest.
If only I couldn't lead this life
full of loneliness and sorrow.
If only you could be my rock
something to lean on 'til tomorrow.
If only you were the air I breathed,
if only I felt that way.
If
Help me keep that fire
Lit in your soul
Let me keep the burn
Hot in your heart
I want to keep your lips
Looking red and bruised
Your face flushed in love,
Just from my kisses
I’m trying to keep your hands
Trembling and weak
Echoing your feelings
Your vulnerability, how sweet
Your voice when you say my name,
So soft and hesitant
I want to hear you whisper it
Every night we’re together
Help me keep burning
Inside your heart and lungs
For as long as I’m lit inside
I’m home.
White noise
Staring me in the face.
Dark colors
Illuminating the place.
What are we,
When we hide?
If not cowards
Who failed, tried.
What is this,
That we hold so dear
What is comfort,
Enhanced with fear?
An uneasy truce
Dark with we.
We who fear,
We who be.
White noise
Cancelling out
An insane cry
A helpless shout.
What are we,
With dark cornered minds?
Depths of evil,
The recesses struck blind.
We who are bound,
Caged within.
We who are human,
Our shields worn thin.
We who cower,
In a self preserved state...
We who fight silently
Against what is "too late."
In my mind
I see you
Just standing there.
In my mind,
you are unchanged
Skin so fair
Eyes so blue
Lips so red
Words so sweet.
In my mind,
You hold my hand
Touch my feet
with the tips
of your toes.
Your tiny toes.
In my mind,
we are happy
just us two.
In my mind,
I dwell slow,
staying in the past.
Past the horror,
The unhappy sorrow
Of our future.
In my mind,
Forever engraved memories,
lies your face.
Blue, blue eyes.
Red, soft lips.
Sweet, sweet words.
Everlasting love
only for me.
You love me.
In my mind,
You lie unchanged
So it's safe.
As my mind
Unhinges in years
to come
You remain there
So it's ok,
My sanity lost.
My unfocu
Such a small bit of breath
To say the words that just might
Shatter a heart.
Such a careless intent
Or perhaps a passionate declaration
To shatter a world.
It takes such little effort,
Such little thought
To run a spear through
Someone's perception.
It took a short walk,
A few harsh words, and
A moment's silence to do all three.
It took so little breath,
So very little care,
to ram reality right through me.
It might take months,
Or maybe it might take years.
I'll never forget what you cost me,
Or all the tears I cried.
It just doesn't take much
To be the undoing of someone
Without even a thought.
Just a little breath,
Of someone who
Mocking
The blank page taunts me
I hear it whisper
"You can't write.
Who are you, to think
You have the right?
Talentless person
To write is to know.
You know nothing."
I'm trembling,
Because it's true.
Who am I, to write?
I'm just a human.
I'm not an ethereal creature,
I can't spout a clever quip
I'm not a talented hero
Saving the world through thin and thick.
"Just a human,"
The page laughs now
I'm just a human,
With no talent but my thoughts.
Nothing but feelings and words.
I sit up straighter,
Suddenly struck with light
No talent indeed,
No talent but to write.
To write is to know;
I know.
I know how t
When there are no words,
No sympathy, no love
In a place you thought,
You needed- to be safe
If the looks become too much,
Nowhere to truly breathe
Losing grip on gravity,
Your hold slips
And you need to leave;
I suggest you start running.
Leave it all behind,
Air rushing through your lungs,
Heart beating in time
To my arms, I ask you
Burrow deep and stay.
Love will not expire here
You only needed to find your way,
Only your way.
In a world of tiny,
Miniscule little hurts
It's easy to build up
But not recognize the worst.
I need a haven,
A place full of sunny warmth.
You need a home,
To be taken care of w
These words dig in deep
In every corner truth will seep
Breaking hearts and damaging souls
Watching worlds spin out of control
Holding on to what isn't there
Pretending for someone who doesn't care
Begging God for those feelings back
Meanwhile, fighting off a panic attack
Terrified of being alone
Knowing that place isn't home
Nowhere to go, nowhere to be
Searching for something no one can see
Just wanting space, but wanting heart
Cursing oneself for falling apart
Showing weakness by letting him in
Fighting hard, holding up your chin
The guards went down, and look at you now
For someone else, you bend and bow
Twisting and tur
Games, games, of which we play
Games, games, the only way
Games, games, liars who burn
Liars who cheat, who never learn.
Pain searing, reaching deep
Lies scarring, in pain they steep
Still they lie, more and more
Tipping and balancing an infinite score.
Running straight and true in line,
Coursing through practice, life, and time
Failing those who covet it most
Poisoning anyone, no matter the host
Hope faulting, falling short
To this evil power, misery's cohort
What once was, will live again
The good is there, just one to ten
We all fall, we all give in
Proving true what is, was also then
Faith exists, but little is for you
If you could only say the words I need to hear,
if you could only comfort me now.
If you could only hold me like I did for you,
if only I needn't show you how.
If only my heart weren't made of coal,
so rough and easy to heat.
If only I could learn to love
if only my demands you could meet.
If only I could hear the words from you
which would put my heart at rest.
If only just once you could console my needs,

Hot and Cold
Girl you run so hot
That I Burn
Then you're so cold
That I freeze
I am never sure
Which side that you might be
It's just really confusing me
Sometimes it feels right
Others so wrong
Yet you're always different
Every day that we speak
Sometimes you seem cool
Others scream enemy
I'm not sure if the cause is me
Yet each day we speak it seems so new
I am never sure
Which side of you I will see
I love the change
But cannot keep the pace
You're just out doing me
Is it my words
Or my jokes
Maybe it's just my thoughts
Stop playing these games
On my heart
I just want to see you girl
The same one with that sweet

You Said You Liked Poetry
I've never been good at
doing things like this,
but give it strong thought.
I didn't have anything planned
for this moment,
so excuse me if I
go on the fly
in saying what I
got to say.
You said you liked poetry.
Do you like metaphors?
I sure do.
Metaphors are the
power chords of poetry
if done correctly.
What? Why the weird look?
You like poetry, right?
You told me you did...
Your love would be
an injection,
straight in the vein,
with my arm tied
with laces of
love and respect
tied in a knot of
trust.
I can feel you
roar in my veins
in the fashion
the worst storms wished
they could produce.
You reach my head
Mmm, 17 year old writer. I swear I'm a 35 y/o trapped in a teenagers body. I'm great for conversation, if it's not in person. Writing is my life; reading is my hobby. My only talent is what flows from my mind through my fingertips. For you pervs out there, I'm referring to my writing, obviously. :p I'm better at stories than I am at poetry, but poetry is how I started writing so it holds a permanent place in my heart. I love making new friends, and if you love reading/writing as much as I do, it's a plus. Feel free to comment or talk to me. :)

I have a huge contest due date looming. The prize could mean my life changing forever, and I so desperately need it. I can't find the words to write though. I need to write a short story, and it's just not coming out. I'm mentally belittling myself and putting myself down and I don't know how to stop.
How do I stop?
Finally, my freedom. I'm graduating high school early! I'll do three online courses between now and the end of January. That's all I need. I'm free after that. I can get a full time job and be happpyyyy :) More time to write my book, too!
I'm tired. I can't sleep, though.
Just like my body is tired, my mind is tired, but I can't stop thinking. I don't rest.
I really need to rest.
I need to stop thinking.
