Phoenix Nov 2015
Swaying trees
And singing birds
Dancing daises
And busy bumble bees

The grass brushes her skin
Touching her lightly with it's soft fingertips
The wind pulls at her hair playfully

She looks up
Sensing his presence

He was beautiful
Strong and lean
A smile of angels

She looked down
To the meadow in which she sits
She smooths the perfect fabric of her dress

His voice silences the birds
The wind slows to a stop
Everything is calm
Quiet

The wold revolves around this stranger
This attractive stranger

She sat still
Very aware of the stillness
Inside and out

Then

A single phrase
A string of words
Forces a racing heart

"I've come to you, my dear."

I was told to write this
To hide away the darkness
So handle it with care
While I pretend its not there

I was told to write this
By someone I love
A happy poem they say
But if its all the same

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to feel
Do you really think this poem is real?

I guess today
Is not the day
To show my bright and happy side

I'm sorry babe
But I just can't escape
The darkness I try to erase

I was told to write this
My attempt at a happy poem
But everything around me
Has an amount of tinted darkness
Sorry I'm not very good at happy

The roses dance
The violets sway
The music plays
In her mind
As her heart keeps time
Tonight she dances
Dances with the moon and the stars
And the cool, soft breeze
Tonight she smiles
With flowers in her hair
A laugh, as soft as a flower petal
Escape her soft lips
Her hair shifts on her shoulders
As her red dress swooshes and sways
Tonight she is free
Tomorrow is yesterday
So tonight
She dances
With the moon and stars
Tonight she smiles
As the wind plays with her hair
Tonight she shares secrets
With Sandman himself
In a field of roses and violets
In a field of dreams

We're all corrupt inside
No matter how much we try to deny
What if you and I
Had monsters to hide?
Secrets to keep
And people to please
Just keep in mind
We're all corrupt inside
We all have something to hide

Conflicted feelings
Impossible standards

Lost thoughts
Complicated choices

Hushed breath
Silent tears

My true fears
Brought to the light
After so long of being out of sight
Phoenix Nov 2015
It changes you
Strangles you
Makes you question everything

Bitter heartache
And harsh words

Instant regret

Painful sorrow
Self loathing

Thoughts of death
Of disappearing

regret

Thoughts of pain
And permanent tattoos

regret

So many regrets
So many pains

It changes you
Strangles you
Makes you question everything

Stomach flips
Heart in throat
Clammy palms
Anxious steps

It's all of your fault
Your stupid face
Poisoning laugh
And terrifying voice

The power you have
Is incredible
Truly unfathomable

One word from you
Can ruin my world
Can break me down
Can hurt me deeply

You know me too well
You know how to cut deep
You know my weakness
You know my flaws

I gave you everything
And so much more
Now we're done
And you can use it against me

Your promises are just words now
Words that made me swoon yesterday
Make me cry today

So I'm kind of at a loss
Unsure what to do
I can't breath
I can't survive

Since you have control
The power you have
Is incredible
Truly unfathomable
