Teenagers
There’s nothing like a first love as a teenager
Every feeling so intense
Sitting on the swings for a first kiss
Every move made with innocence
From a first conversation
So scared and so shy
To holding hands
Refusing to say goodbye
Letters written between every class
Wearing hoodies covered in cologne
Waiting for the bus together
Sharing music with earphones
Feeling like you’re on cloud nine
A drug on its own
Nothing really quite hits
Especially when you’re grown
Every feeling so intense
Sitting on the swings for a first kiss
Every move made with innocence
From a first conversation
So scared and so shy
To holding hands
Refusing to say goodbye
Letters written between every class
Wearing hoodies covered in cologne
Waiting for the bus together
Sharing music with earphones
Feeling like you’re on cloud nine
A drug on its own
Nothing really quite hits
Especially when you’re grown

Red string
Miss communication
Misunderstand me
Miss impersonation
Misidentify me
Locked behind her glass doors
Fell trapped to her beauty
Injected by her poison
In love with her cruelty
Green eyes that are toxic
A river of waste management
Smashed windows and foggy lungs
Late night and high strung
If words could kill
I’d be her victim
Played with my insides
Her favorite thing was sadism
Wrapped me in her red string
Tied into a pretty bow
Tighter she’d make it
Oh to be loved by a...

Mr Sinister
He’d whisper “I love you”
With fingers crossed behind his back
He’d kiss her hand
hold it tight
Until it cracked
Empty promises
Lies spilled from his lips
such sweet words
With no hesitation
The girl he stirred
In the night he was a snake
He’d slitter in
Trail up her legs
Wrap around her neck
Until she begged
God how she tried
To be the one
He’d want in his sleep
Crave in her absence
What a fucking sheep
“Kill me romantically.”
He took those words
Inhaled...
With fingers crossed behind his back
He’d kiss her hand
hold it tight
Until it cracked
Empty promises
Lies spilled from his lips
such sweet words
With no hesitation
The girl he stirred
In the night he was a snake
He’d slitter in
Trail up her legs
Wrap around her neck
Until she begged
God how she tried
To be the one
He’d want in his sleep
Crave in her absence
What a fucking sheep
“Kill me romantically.”

Hell and you
Hell and you
The smoke
The agony
The heat
The thought crosses my mind everyday.
How bad could it be?
The light from far away looks enticing, almost inviting.
Every time I get close to the flame i can feel the warmth wrap around me.
It’s suffocating.
I can’t breathe.
Just one sin. That’s all it takes.
But just one taste leads to a watering mouth.
A full blown addiction.
Shivering from withdrawals, or fear, I’m not sure which.
In one blink of an eye I’m back to where I...

Fool at heart
I am not an object
I am not a prize
I am not at your disposal
I am not your high
Emotions run deeper than the lowest valleys
And deafen my ears like a high school pep rally
Chills shoot my nerves with the pain of a thousand pinpoint needles
Numb to my fingertips, this has to be illegal.
Doubled over in agony
Words retch my guts
Vomiting memories
Again it cuts
Over and over again I was baited, duped and hoaxed
But as insane as it was, I was thoroughly engrossed
How can someone fall for the...
I am not a prize
I am not at your disposal
I am not your high
Emotions run deeper than the lowest valleys
And deafen my ears like a high school pep rally
Chills shoot my nerves with the pain of a thousand pinpoint needles
Numb to my fingertips, this has to be illegal.
Doubled over in agony
Words retch my guts
Vomiting memories
Again it cuts

You
My ink has dried up
My fingers crack and shake
My thoughts are empty
My insides churn and ache
Where did all the beauty go?
The colors have been muted
I beg, I plead, I bargain
But all hope has been polluted
I’ve choked on my own words
My pale lips a dark blue
Gurgling on the letters
Y-o-u.
My fingers crack and shake
My thoughts are empty
My insides churn and ache

Your loyal girl
And I'll always come crawling back to you
On my bruised hands and knees
Even though I know I've done nothing wrong
I'll pled for your forgiveness
To be touched by your hand that marked me a moment ago
To feel reassurance that I am yours
I'll sit and stay and do all that you ask
Because I know that i'll never leave you
I'm your loyal little girl
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
So i don't
I kiss it tenderly after it has stained my skin
I'll roll over backwards for your every demand
I didn't mean to shy away as you dashed towards me angry...
On my bruised hands and knees
Even though I know I've done nothing wrong
I'll pled for your forgiveness
To be touched by your hand that marked me a moment ago
To feel reassurance that I am yours
I'll sit and stay and do all that you ask
Because I know that i'll never leave you
I'm your loyal little girl
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
So i don't
I kiss it tenderly after it has stained my skin

DARK POEM

Blackened state
I haven't moved in what feels like a century.
I can not see.
Am I awake or asleep?
I can not tell.
My legs can not bend nor my arms fold.
I can not feel the warmth of the sunlight or bask in the moonlight.
Where am I?
I do not know.
I want to call for help but my throat feels full of sand.
I want to breath but my lungs will not expand.
I'm in a dark hole.
One that I can not escape from on my own.
But oddly, I find myself in a comfortable state.
I don't want to move.
I don't want to leave.
Maybe just this once, I'll...

Delightful hell
I want to live forever in your heart
Dismantle me baby
Scratch open my chest
Review my black art
You might hate my words
I've never been quite well
Explore my insides
You're a paradise called hell
I can't erase your touch
Your voice telling me goodnight
Drag me home darling
Let me know delight
Dismantle me baby
Scratch open my chest
Review my black art
You might hate my words
I've never been quite well
Explore my insides
You're a paradise called hell
I can't erase your touch
Your voice telling me goodnight
Drag me home darling
Let me know delight

Colorless boy
Everything about him was gray
His hair
His smoke
His dreams
He saw in black and white
White walls
Black shadows
White screens
Everything moved in slow motion
His life
His heart
His screams
Life always felt like it was falling
The waves
The leaves
Teenage esteem
His hair
His smoke
His dreams
He saw in black and white
White walls
Black shadows
White screens
Everything moved in slow motion
His life
His heart
His screams
Life always felt like it was falling
The waves
The leaves
Teenage esteem

ANGER POEM

Eye sore
I can't hear your name without blood boiling in my vains
You dance like a joke and sing in the pouring rain
Disgust and anger fill me brim at the sight of your face
Spit out all your bitter words; what an awful taste
Your eyes full of lies and every time you speak
I feel my brain cells die and my knowledge weak
You truly are nothing but a hopeless waste of space
A putrid human being and a vast disgrace
You dance like a joke and sing in the pouring rain
Disgust and anger fill me brim at the sight of your face
Spit out all your bitter words; what an awful taste
Your eyes full of lies and every time you speak
I feel my brain cells die and my knowledge weak
You truly are nothing but a hopeless waste of space
A putrid human being and a vast disgrace

The goodbye
For a moment I thought I smelled you in my sheets
My heart stopped but yet it still beats
I sunk my face deep within the threads
Remembering the details of your face; every word you've ever said
Fragments of memories speed by my eyes
Shaking at the terrible way you decided to say goodbye
I tried to reach out and grab the scene
But some times you have to wake up, and remember it's a dream
My heart stopped but yet it still beats
I sunk my face deep within the threads
Remembering the details of your face; every word you've ever said
Fragments of memories speed by my eyes
Shaking at the terrible way you decided to say goodbye
I tried to reach out and grab the scene
But some times you have to wake up, and remember it's a dream
