I ache. I cry. I weep like the flowers during a storm when they feel like they’re drowning. I feel like I lost something. A part of me. You stole my purity that I can never get back.
Try and tell me you didn’t have feelings for me
Try and tell me you didn’t know how I felt
Try.
Even though I knew I wasn’t enough, I persisted
Even though I knew it wouldn’t work, I persisted
where to start
where to place the blame
where did i stop being a kid
maybe it was when my fifth grade teacher told me
i couldnt wear shorts skirts because the boys would look,
A spark of emotion birthed a flaming relationshipText messages and posts proclaim the feelings you have to the worldYour once boring life took a spin, and FLIPThe problems in your life just vanished; unfurled
I messed up this morning.
I couldn't sleep last night and I missed my alarm
I'm sorry, I was tossing and turning and laying there,
so desperately, pitifully awake at 3 AM.
Empowered by the essence of longing,
Controlled by the thoughts of searching,
Understanding the definitive feelings and reasonings of the soul,
You
Are the hope around my neck.
The pendant on my chest rests on the
Padlock to my blood that Stained
all over the dress you stressed to see me-
Because I love you
I believe your lies
when you tell me
I’m your everything
Because I love you
I listen to your evil slurs
when you drunkenly
push me against the wall
Because I Love You
By: Miranda York
Everyone always wants to know why.
Why does he hurt me?
Why does she leave me?
They don't understand like you do.
Everything you say starts with, “Because I love you.”
But you don’t. You never did.
If this was love, you wouldn’t say everything
Is always my fault.
Because I love you, I will open my heart to you.
Because I love you, I will not be afraid to let you in and see the darkestcorners in my soul, the parts that even I cower and flee from
How does one describe it?
When someone they trusted
violates them?
It's too difficult for me to say...what it really is.
She took advantage of
the situation
and me, I guess.
It was pure luck
I saw her from far away
From the darkness of the brush
And I prepare my jaws to crush
Her name was Little Red
With beauty and grace, comes with a fist to the face
Beauty and Passion both have a certain complexion
that one is almost always familiar with.
Slurs on the street become unwanted interrogation.
he was so bright
God, he was bright
he made my skin burn when he touched it
he made my heart race,
air so thick I couldn't get a breath
like the hottest day of mid-July.
yes, he was bright
If you loved him,Those words wouldn't roll off your tongue like a ball down the alley. If you loved him, Yelling at him would burn your throat like you just look 7 shots of liquor. If you loved him,You wouldn't be able to call him names because yo
My mind is not my own.
I gave it away piece by piece -
tied it up in a ribbon with bits of my beating heart
and put it at the feet of a girl whose love was a pair
of spiked cleats.
Your voice
Was like music in my ears
Singing sweet symphonies of lies
Drowning all of my deepest fears
I let you climb inside my body
Inhabit my mind
Access my innermost secrets
To All Victims.. Keep Walking
If you plan on lying to me and then break up with me when I catch you lying instead of owning it and communicate, keep walking.
Feeling alone and cast off tears flow
Black eyeliner stains my pale face
I turn to my best of friends
The straight edge razor blade
Hello Mr. Keeper
Today I lost my soul
Have you seen it?
I looked everywhere
I searched heaven
I searched hell
But my soul is nowhere to be seen
I think I might die
