"just a few"
just a few words they use to criticize.
just a few more tears that fall, due to…
just a few additional exchanges of empty words.
just a few less times I say “ i love you. ”
just a few months before I say “ i’m gone. ”
just a few hours until I say “ i just cannot continue. ”
just a few occasions I die a little inside.
just a few times my heart breaks a little bit.
just a few moments that take all the time we have left,
just a few days waning, pending an ending.
just a few fewer smiles shared, lacking care.
just a few declining glares,...

Cigarette Love
I am your cigarette baby.
You crave me so deeply, so strongly,
Feeling as though you couldn’t live without having me.
Stepping into secrecy.
I am ignited.
Inhaling me, it takes you back to that first time.
An instant addiction.
I envelop you.
Everything else, so easily forgotten.
Exhaling there is a moment of pure release.
Looking down at your hands,
I have burned out,
Given all that I had to you.
I am thrown to the cold, hard ground.
Crushed as you step on me,
And then you walk away.
Not giving em another thought…
…until you...

Frienship
Once upon a time,
You hate poems that rhyme.
I met you and you met me,
As if that was supposed to be.
We were strangers,
Somehow bound on the same adventures.
One day we made each other laugh,
Before we knew it, we were each other’s better half.
We promised Always And Forever,
Said we would give up our friendship never.
I said “To Infinity,” you replied, “And Beyond,”
That was the extraordinary beauty of our bond.
You whispered “I love you with all I got,”
Our friendship was never supposed to rot.
But...

our story is finally over.
We met on October ten,
And we knew right then,
We had to see each other again.
Now don’t you remember,
All of November,
We even lasted until December.
But on the fifth,
I realized it was all a myth,
And everything made a shift.
Things were done,
You and I were no longer one,
But still my questioning had begun.
It was rather strange,
But everything made a change,
As homes were to rearrange.
We spoke on January fifteenth,
And out final meet was on the sixteenth.
However our final glances were on the twenty-third,
You did...

Lost Flower
I have lost my flower,
And with that, also my power.
Now, I am locked away in a tower.
Left alone,
I am nothing, but skin and bone,
At least now, no one can be phony.
My body is trembling,
My spirit is crumbling.
And as my head hits the floor,
I become numb to my core.
Everything I have left is broken,
And with that I leave you this token.
I am no longer terrified,
My mind has been clarified.
I thought about running,
But then everyone would be hunting
For me.
And that is not how I want it to be.
Say your goodbyes,...
And with that, also my power.
Now, I am locked away in a tower.
Left alone,
I am nothing, but skin and bone,
At least now, no one can be phony.
My body is trembling,
My spirit is crumbling.
And as my head hits the floor,
I become numb to my core.
Everything I have left is broken,
And with that I leave you this token.
I am no longer terrified,
My mind has been clarified.
I thought about running,
But then everyone would be hunting

Blown Away...
and I had done it.
Escaped that paralyzing world.
It was a prison.
But now my tiny, ten by ten cell,
Came tumbling down to a cold, bleak floor.
Looking around me, I see nothing,
Nothing but, pure freedom.
There are no boundaries.
No restrictions.
Just me and my choices:
Where ever I choose to go.
Whatever I choose to do.
I feel the wind blow through my hair,
I close my eyes,
I breathe in that scent.
That scent of wet dirt and the mythical giant trees.
The sky has grown dark.
Usually dark means intimidation and...

BOOM
Boom.
A drop of blood hits the ground,
Boom.
A girl hits the wall,
Boom.
She embraces the ground,
Boom.
A blood-curdling scream,
Boom.
A sinister laugh of infliction,
Boom.
A tear trickles down her cheek
Boom.
Her eyes close and breathe ends
Boom.
No more fear the end is near,
Boom.
The final blow is here,
Boom.
A drop of blood hits the ground,
Boom.
A girl hits the wall,
Boom.
She embraces the ground,
Boom.
A blood-curdling scream,
Boom.
A sinister laugh of infliction,
Boom.
A tear trickles down her cheek
Boom.
Her eyes close and breathe ends
Boom.
No more fear the end is near,
Boom.
The final blow is here,
Boom.

-full
Running away from,
What I have become,
Why can’t I be numb?
Every second fearful ,
Every thought tearful,
Helped with a beer-ful.
All days full of hate,
You are all too late,
I’m not up for debate.

What the f**k is Love???
What the fuck is love?
How can someone say they love you, if they cheat???
I hate you.
You lie and pretend,
You don't own me,
You can’t tell me what to do or how to feel,
I can't believe you,
Did I really mean that little to you,
How can you forget someone?
I will never understand you,
I have never hurt you,
Yet I am nothing in your eyes,
You say you still love me but I,
I can barely stand the sight of you,
Now I just don't know what to do,
You deserve nothing and no one,
I hate that you did this to me,
And now you dare to...

Your eyes are clouds,
Your tears are rain,
The tears you cry,
Are tears of pain.
Because you are alone.

CHANGE
You have changed so much
She has changed you
I can see it in the way walk
How you talk
The old you is out-lined in chalk
Before all of this
You and me full of bliss
With every day I miss
The way you looked at me
With sweetness and love we
Were always together, what we could be.

Broken
I feel empty
I want to cry but no tears come from my eyes
I just keep thinking he is probably with her right now
She is looking at him in love
He looks back
Hope is leaving my body
My heart is shattered
He was my best friend
We told each other everything
We used to always flirt
We even hooked up
While he was with this bitch
But he couldn’t keep it up
To kind
I even told him we would never be together in any way more than
Best friends and FWB
After we hooked up it didn’t take long before I fell for him
Broken...
