Reason #13
Mya Oct 2017
The sun could never outshine her
However, I failed to remember something simple
We continue to see the light of a star
Even years after they have died
Mya Jul 2018
He said that "W" word yesterday
I'm still not sure what that was about
After endless torture sessions
Void of commitment
Last night his heart had a change
"Wife" was on list of words
His brain suddenly drew from
He not only wanted me
To be his winter blanket
Or his ephemeral spring flower
But his goddess
Throughout all the seasons
He wants me!
...he wants me ..
And that means every piece
And he loves...
...everything
Everything about him is worth loving too.

Theoretically
Mya Apr 2017
I could fall in love with him
Probably because of his smile
The way it sets the dew before dawn
And makes way for morning's grace
Or maybe it's because of his words
When they wrap around me tighter
Than even my favorite jacket
Better yet, it comes from the core
Spinning me along for the ride
Keeping my feet on the ground
And close to his comforts
...but could he fall for me?
With my grace in a twist
And my heart in a shatter
I'm a broken girl
But does that have to matter?

Even the Snow

I want to give all my love away
And have it circled back
So then why shouldn't it
Be you?

Your legacy
Will be a new set of scars

Just so you know
Mya Oct 2018
When consoling people
Most try to be soothing
Not accusing
Mya May 3
I want to call you
While you're sleeping
And fill your voicemail
With love notes

Mya May 2024
The morning sun
Kissed my skin
And told me it was okay
To miss you
Mya Dec 2018
I can feel your love fading
And that's fine.
I always knew
This day would come.
I just never anticipated
That I could be replaced so quickly.
But I salute you for trying.

Ego
Your wife must be lonely
With all the time you spend
Away from her
Wishing you had me

A Ruler's Burden
Mya Nov 2017
Close your eyes, sweet prince
When you rise in the morning-
The dragons will be gone
Your burns will have healed

This light of the new day
Paves another path to glory
Rise now!
Your prince(ss) still waits to be saved
Lands yearn to be conquered
Life begs to be lived

Therefore, give up not!
Yesterday has beaten you down
But tomorrow will crown you King
Not all princes need a princess

Blue
Mya Nov 2017
He touched me and the sky lit up
Blue had a meaning once again
Clouds could gather
To accumulate and rain down
Once again
That essential hue

They hit the ground, bringing life
Green dominated the land
Complimenting the sky
Brining further colors in the voice of petals
In this presence of new life

I began to thrive
207 · Apr 2017
Rip my heart
Mya Apr 2017
I am so madly in love with you
Are you enjoying the show?
Watching as the madness destroys me

This Morning
Mya Jun 2017
I realised something in the car on my way home this morning,
and it was this:
I always say he's perfect,
And it is the most true thing I have ever said.
Fear follows this thought
Because
The thought of losing something has never been present
But the thought of losing perfection
Is horrifying.
I love you
Way more than I ever imagined.
That's how I know
You're my soul mate.

Sick
Mya Dec 2017
The troubles of being the plague
Come with only finding love
From lepers
Who can only be cured in death

Listening
Mya Mar 2017
I hear you
You speak in nascent flowers
But breathe out raw sewage
Your to tongue writhes with lies
While your heart suffocates
Soon silence will be left to flourish
Then my ears will no longer bleed
When I have to hear you
Mya Dec 2018
You dont love her
For the flower she is.

You don't kiss evey petal
As tender as the breeze intended.

You don't prop her stem
Allowing her to grow tall and strong.

You love her
Like your next victim
-like the prey you think she is

You love her
By giving her the water she needs
-only to drown her in it

You love her
By plucking her from the ground
-and ending her beauty
And that's not how love is supposed to ******* be.
Mya Jul 2017
You are the most I have ever met
I have never been so caught in a soul
So may doors to enter
Though which the one I opened
Has taught me to see
What I could be
And how your life is closer to mine than anything before
You are perfection
Only because you are all that I wish to be
After opening this door
I could see that you are I
And I am me
I love you more than anything. You are the most real person that I have ever met, because you are so much like me. Our souls come together as one because we have always been one. Forever my love~
Mya May 12
I bet you think you're so cool
With your punk band
And little tattoos

You think you're getting with me
You have no idea
What's in store for you

Love and Gardening
Mya Jul 2018
We grow our love
In a garden of weeds
And I wouldn't trade it for any of the roses.

Bleeding Fingers
Mya Sep 2018
Oh Love,
As I watch you fall
all I want is to offer my hand
and raise you in your glory once again.
It pains me that I cannot.
You know as well as I
that the flesh of an angel,
cannot withstand the sting
of a demon's touch.
I wish you luck through this journey of flames.
204 · Aug 2018
I'm Sorry
Mya Aug 2018
It's sad that you dont see
A life with me

After all I'd ever give to you
But I will never do
Mya Nov 2018
I'd tell you I love you
But I'd hate to wake you
From this dream of perfection
And let my honest touch taint you

Much like the Music
Mya Jun 2017
His music carried me
Each note drifted me farther
To new places and sights
Only the richest person could ever hope to see

Each pass of his fingers showed me a new light
Something different I knew
He had never shown anyone before
The music was no longer just a sound

It was living in the room with us
Showing us how to feel
Guiding us to the stars
Slowly melding our souls together

His eyes never met mine
But how could they?
He was already in his blissful place
I stood watching from the neighboring star

I envied the noise
For being so close to him
Knowing every inch of his heart
Like maybe I will some day
Mya Oct 2018
You cant love me
And not because
You're incapable
Of loving
It's simply because
You're incapable
Of loving me
199 · Jun 2018
I'm not your flower
Mya Jun 2018
I don't bloom
Because you command me to
If I bloom at all
It will be
Because
I am finally ready
To face the world
And because
The world is finally
Ready for me
Am I beautiful yet?
198 · May 2018
Question 15
Mya May 2018
Are you going to be
the next face to haunt me in my nightmare?
I don't think I can bare that.

Self Destruction
Mya Mar 2017
The ******* the other side of the glass looks back
Seeing into her own eyes
Touching the cold space in between the images
Which one was real?

Her heart raced as the cracks chased each other
It's all falling apart
Stepping back trying to keep an image clear
She's losing it

Pieces shatter and slide around the surface
Don't touch- they're sharp
The once clear picture now scrambled at her feet
The shards will make her bleed
Lyss, just hold on. It'll be okay.
197 · Dec 2018
I just need someone to
Mya Dec 2018
-tell me I dont need it
-make me put it down
-sing me out of my sorrows
-catch all of my falling tears

I just need someone
To show me the love I'm missing
And give me a reason to stay
Before my last night comes and I never get to see another beautiful sunrise.

Campfire Stories of You
Mya May 23
I know it's selfish
To laugh at your pain
And still wish
I could take you home
At the end of the night

Don't Fear My Lips Touch
Mya Jan 2018
When I closed my eyes and dreamt of you
The visions I had were beautiful
-and cursed
You looked so lovely
-and my eyes couldn't break away
The way you reacted to the escalation
My heart fell
-so far down it broke the veil of slumber
My lips long for you
Other limbs quiver with anticipation
but my eyes-
I'm scared for them to close agian
In fear of the image never changing
backed with the fear those images
may even replay with my eyes open
Mya Dec 2018
I dont want to love you anymore
The fickle emotion
Is rotting my heart
And boiling my brain
I can't help what I am... though I wish I could. Just let me go before this warm emotion scorches you too.

Beanstalk
Mya Jul 2018
On this climb up from broke
I hope I don't slip and choke

There's no escaping this noose
I found the golden goose

I think the greed has changed me
Haven't recognized myself lately

See, I sacrificed love for money
But paper don't taste like honey

So I sit here numbing my mind
Forgetting all I left behind
Nothing can touch me now
I rule the world- so bow

A Man Too Great
Mya Sep 2017
The way his smile carries me is delightful
His personality is intoxicating and heavy
My heart bleeds for him
We are close, but in no other way than the soul
Which in its purest form,
Is nothing more than every essential piece of a being

If he were a color, his body parts would be all different
Such a profound concept
Wrapped up into flesh and bone
Its almost hard to believe- in a human mindset
The universe delivered him to me
To guide me to where I need to be

Thank you,
          You know who you are,
and I love you, in a certain way, for all you are.
I fall in love wrongfully with those who don't understand. I hope you can see where my heart is actually at, and know what just I mean.
Mya Jun 2017
Every time
You ever told me
To stop
Being a piece of me
I remembered
All of your nights
Curled up to Jameson
And I realised
The only thing
That will
Ever make you whole again
Is going to be that bottle
You're nothing more than a drunken mistake

Momma Help Me
Mya Dec 2018
I know you wouldn't approve,
but I love this girl, you see.
She's a little rough around the edges
but shes filled with sugar and baked
to the ripe warm temperature of perfection
when shes in my arms.

But wait, I know...
I know I'm losing you at this point,
and you don't want to hear
a word I've said but wait, just
Wait.

Momma, I love this girl, you see
and its messed up and killing me...
Because, well, she doesnt know
how my heart howls at the moon
aching for her to be near me.

I want to give her everything.
Even if that's just the fragile mist of time
which drizzled through the cracks
of this shattered reality and broke apart against the rocky surface of the ever-playing nightmare.

Momma, I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry if you dont love me,
for the love I have for her.
But right now, I'm watching her
love someone else and Momma,
Momma, its killing your baby girl.
Just tell me how to protect myself from the rising fall.
Mya Oct 2018
Darling please
Let me rip your clothes off now
Dont worry
I'll be sure to fold them in the morning
Mya Nov 2018
I want to be sober enough
To mean it when I tell you that I love you
But ****** enough
To not have to remember it in the morning
And harder to swallow than a shot of whiskey at 3 a.m.

Trade Value
Mya Jul 2017
"Don't you think you're wasting your potential"
...
potential*?
I want not
Thus I waste not
Simply trading one skill
For one of equal value
In the ever lasting search for greater happiness

Te Amo
Mya Jan 2018
Tú eres mi mundo
y lo más importante para mi
Mya Jul 2018
You loved him so true
All he did was make do

Because where your love was a fountain
His was a mountain

Strong and tall, but unmoving
Never improving

In this kingdom you are the queen
Grace and beauty is all to be seen

Let this distance bring you solace
Use this time to remember you're flawless
If you're taking the time to read this then remember what you told us: "sometimes we're just bad at love". Be strong.

I have written you so many beautiful poems
It's a shame you never had the capacity to enjoy them
Mya May 2018

Are moving kind of fast
But maybe
That's because
The universe finally thinks we're ready

Nascent Flowers Crying
Mya Feb 2018
I fall in love with the flowers before they even begin to bloom
Which is why watching them wilt before they blossom
Kills me the most
