All consuming my soul
Engulfed in flames
Raging through my limbs
In my veins, in my blood
Warm to the touch
I feel the ice in my heart
Piercing me through
Reminding me that
All these feelings are
Temporary
Soon to be eaten alive by my demons
Inside my chest, inside my arms,
Pumping through my blood
And inside my head a beast
I can't control
Snarling vicious beast
Merciless monster
Whose me.
Words fall off my lips
With no thoughts
To the consequence
A smile flickers
To the edge of your lips
Just for me
Singing while it rains
Can’t seem to contain
The feelings of sunshine
Building in my chest
My bright eyed beauty
Like endless untouched oceans
Looking back at me
Happy to see me
Happy to see me
And suddenly
Deep in my empty
Icey skin
I felt myself
Melting
Sitting still in this silence
The room fills with air
My head swirling with thoughts
That I can’t turn off
They fill inside my chest
Until I want to burst
I hold myself together
At the edges of your words
I want to be the aching in your heart
Like you are in my chest
Holding hostage my lungs
Forgetting how to breathe
Forgetting how to catch my breath
Sometimes isn’t always
And sometimes isn’t enough
When you try to build
Yourself around another
Slowly giving into whims
Thinking they will pass
But they never do
Splitting into pieces
Carrying on because I have to
Because if I stop
I fear I might collapse
Into this feeling
Building in my chest
I’m afraid it will swallow me whole
Falling to my knees
Realizing the ground
Is only quicksand
Sinking faster
And before
I know it
I’m
Pulled
Under
She walks with bare feet
Across damp grass
Wondering if she is broken
Bits of her heart
Fall right out of her chest
Like shards of glass
No one can find
All the pieces
Night covers up
Black eyes better
Then make up
Stars shine bright
Even with a cloudy sky
She is a star
She is the moon
Pale beauty, masked
By storm clouds
Tears glide across
Bruised cheeks
As she lays her head
On a soft bed of grass
Dark thoughts that
Consume her mind
Each waking moment
For one moment
Fade away into silence
As night falls
Looking up she admires
The dark blues and blacks
The stars yellows and whites
The moons pale glow
Covers the clearing
Touching each
tasting the last bit of happiness
slipping off tongues
coated with blissful liquids
Blurring visions and spinning rooms
walking halls where ceilings turn into floors
Thoughts engulfed in fire
couch-locked in a smoking room
full of characters that no one truly knows
company of strangers
speaking minds unfiltered
keeping count the seconds
that pass too slowly
waiting until next time
when gathering of cravings
Is fixed and done with
Wandering filled halls, haunted with empty faces
They move quietly like mist falling over empty fields
Red eyes and trembling lips, speaking whispers
They wonder where they should be going
I wonder where they have been
It’s the look in your eyes that I know too well
Disappointment in what I couldn’t be
Behind my pale face, it hurts to see
She wonders why I can’t get this right
It’s what’s in their heads that keeps them facing down
Wondering why they aren’t happy
Thinking over words, you are worthless
Laughing fully when they are empty.
It hurts to laugh when you feel nothing
It’s the look in your
We are a sea of people
Moving back and forth
Going where the current takes us
But we are not what they thought
Lost ideas stuck at sea
Never being taught
How to take control
We are a sea of people
Lost souls looking for the shore
Wondering if there was ever one
But we are not what we wanted
Pressure packs down each time
A new punch lands in our guts
They think they can change us
But its not what it seems
We are a sea of people
Trying not to be pulled under
Breathless we drown
But they never come to save us
We are a sea of people
Who’ve lost the sight of dreams
And wonder what sleep feels like
We are a sea of people
But you ca
I will fix it.
Even if I never
Seem to fix myself
Hold fast my hand
I’ll pull you up
Onto both feet
I will fix it
Even if I never
Seem to fix myself
Stand strong on your feet
Toughen up that spine
You’ll need it in the end
I will fix it
Even if I never
Seem to fix myself
I put you first
Before my own broken bones
So please don’t tell me
I’m not enough for you
I will fix it
Even if I never
Seem to fix myself
Each time I hold their hands
Wipe away tears that stain
They walk away brand-new
Leaving behind a few more
Broken bits of bone
I will fix you
Even though I can never figure out
How to fix the cracks
In my ow
