Pedestal
She Writes Sep 2018
I placed her upon a pedestal so high
She grew wings and flew away

I’m Fine
She Writes Nov 2017
Life is an uncanny thing
A mystery ride
Scared of what the future may bring
I’m fine, she lied

The future fills her thoughts
Why does she do this?
Will she get caught?
If she leaves what would she miss?

Her mind wanders constantly
Fantasies keep her sane
Choosing to live vicariously
Through the dreams in her brain

As she downs her wine
She whispers “I’m fine”

Fix Her
She Writes Apr 2018
She wanted to be loved
To be put back together
Until she was whole once more
It’s not until he couldn’t
That she realized
It was never up to him
To fix her
It was always up to her
To love herself enough
That she couldn’t remember why
She ever felt the need
To be fixed in the first place
She Writes Dec 2017
Why does love have to be a constant battle? Why is it wrong to just tell the one you love that you love them? When did it become more socially accepted to hide how you feel, and treat each other like ****? Why is it normal to push away when someone gets close rather than embrace it? Why is everyone so afraid to love? I am so tired of playing games. So tired of the power struggle. So tired of playing hard to get, but not too hard to get. Sick of feeling like I am clingy or wrong for wanting to be around people I care about. Why are those who express how they feel viewed as weak? It takes a lot more strength to share how you feel than it does to close yourself off from the world. It’s no wonder people feel sad, lonely, miserable, unloved, and alone! Why do we do this to each other.
I just really needed an outlet to vent how I feel. I am so tired of hurting, and seeing others around me hurt. All this pain could be so easily avoided if we could all just be honest with ourselves and each other.

Through The Eyes Of A Child
She Writes Apr 2018
I wish I could view the world
Through the eyes of a child
Finding beauty in the small things
Unapologetically happy
Blissfully unaware of the evils
Lurking behind every corner
391 · Jun 2018
Disappoint
She Writes Jun 2018
I am always going to disappoint someone
But from now on it won’t be me
I need to stop being a people pleaser and focus on myself for a change.

Elsewhere
She Writes Dec 2018
I left my heart in your care
With only a stare you ensnared
"Trust me" you dared

My deepest fears I shared
Nothing can compare
To the hurt I must bear

You finessed me with flair
I became aware
Of your secret love affair

You gave no thought to my welfare
Why is honesty so rare?
Now I am left in despair

Trapped in this nightmare
I hope to repair
Our relationship threadbare

Of this beware:
If you find love elsewhere
you will find me nowhere
384 · Dec 2017
Lying
She Writes Dec 2017
One of the biggest lies
I have ever told
Is that I don’t care
About you anymore
380 · Mar 2018
Longing
She Writes Mar 2018
Your touch still lingers
On my skin
Longing for the next time
Our bodies will meet again

My Words Fail Me
She Writes Jun 2018
As surely as a raindrop will fall
On a stormy day
My words will fail me
Once again
374 · Apr 2018
Broken Things
She Writes Apr 2018
Carrying the weight
Of too many broken things
Enervated her tired back
Broken things are the heaviest
Just look at the weight of a broken heart
She traversed the world
Collecting broken hearts
Trying to find the pieces
To fill all of her cracks

Lie To Me Tonight
She Writes Nov 2017
Oh lover!
Lie to me tonight.
Tell me a story
About us together,
Always and forever.

Put Me On Repeat
She Writes Apr 2018
I am the song
You love at first listen
Put me on repeat
Until you tire of me
Delete me off your playlist
Replace me with a new song

Your Silence
She Writes Nov 2017
Silence speaks louder than words
You’re silence is screaming
Echoing inside my brain
“Your not good enough”

You can stop talking
I understand
I hear your silence
Loud and clear
369 · Feb 2022
Fade
She Writes Feb 2022
I can feel you fading away
Slowly, as if it's all in my head
Slipping through the cracks
Of your cold and tired embrace

You want to leave me
I can feel the lack of warmth
Attempting to let me down slowly
Only to prolong the pain

Just go if you want to go
Leave me here to crumble
It’s my time, it’s my destiny
When you leave I will fade too
Breakup alone sad heartbreak suicide tired leave destiny
365 · Apr 2018
Run
She Writes Apr 2018
Run
Someday you will find someone
Who will run with you

As fast and as far
As your heart desires

Holding your hand
Not holding you back

Show Your Light
She Writes May 2023
They take and take with no thought of giving
Leave you in the shadows, barely living

Drain your soul; leave you with scars
Then wonder why you don't reach for the stars

They continue to judge without any care
Then label you broken beyond repair

They ignore your struggles and trivialize your pain
Then wonder why you can't break the chains

Don't let their darkness consume your light
Don't let their words dim your inner sight

You are strong, you are resilient
Your spirit is unbreakable and brilliant

So let them talk, let them judge
They cannot fathom the strength you've trudged

And when they ask why you are so dark
Show them your light and leave your mark

Your Loss
She Writes Dec 2019
There are thousands of ways
I said I love you
And you never heard me say
A single one

There are thousands of ways
I could say I miss you
And you'll never hear me say
A single one

Electric Touch
She Writes May 2023
Your touch is electric, your kiss: a flame
You ravage my body without any shame

You take me higher than I've been before
When we finish I am left wanting more

I have become insatiable
Filled with desire that's irreplaceable

It is an enigma, this intense passion we share
A blend of gentleness and rawness, so rare

I beg you to finish inside
I'll revel in every moment, with nothing to hide
355 · Nov 2017
Thinking Of You
She Writes Nov 2017
Thinking of you

Burning in my throat
From words unsaid

Pressure behind my eyes
From the headaches

Churning in my stomach
From the disgust

Pain in my chest
From the screaming

Yearning in my heart
From missing you
354 · Apr 2018
The Process
She Writes Apr 2018
I can no longer tell if writing is helping me heal or hurting me more.
354 · Apr 2018
Forgotten
She Writes Apr 2018
I may be easily forgotten
But don’t think for a second I’ll forget
347 · Mar 2018
Healing
She Writes Mar 2018
I can see the first hints of dawn
Peeking out from behind the trees
Watching in wonder as light
Replaces the darkness around me
The warmth from the sun
Fills me with hope
That today will be
A little bit better than yesterday
345 · Apr 2018
Goodbyes
She Writes Apr 2018
Goodbyes aren’t always evident.
A person doesn’t have to pack a bag,
and kiss you goodbye,
to leave forever.
Sometimes they slip away so subtly,
you don’t even notice,
until they are gone forever.
340 · May 2018
Veins
She Writes May 2018
My thoughts are chaotic
The words on my mind
Are too big for my mouth
Instead they flow through my veins
Ink spilling over this paper
Like blood on a marble floor

We Don’t Talk Anymore
She Writes Nov 2017
I consider reaching out to you
Wondering if I should
I must step back and remind myself
If you wanted to speak you would

I’m no longer a priority
The realization is painful
With my heart
I should have been more careful

Feeling Lost
She Writes Nov 2017
Though the saying goes
with age comes wisdom
As the years pass
I feel as lost as ever

Stumbling through life
Following my heart
Trying to do what’s right
Still fearing the unknown
334 · Nov 2017
Late Night
She Writes Nov 2017
I said I’d never catch feelings...
The situation would be far too complicated.
It was 5 a.m. and we were still laughing.
You made me feel free and happy,
For the first time in a long time.
I just couldn’t help myself.
330 · Feb 2023
Home
She Writes Feb 2023
Falling for you was different
It didn't feel much like falling at all
Instead, you walked into my house
And it finally felt like home
The second I tried to convince myself
I couldn't possibly be in love
Was the exact moment I knew
I absolutely was

Scribbles
She Writes Apr 2018
When I was young
I used to scribble on paper
Lifes lessons
turned me into a poet

Pure Love
She Writes Apr 2018
No love is purer,
Than the love of a child.
No bond is stronger,
Than mother and child.
325 · Nov 2017
Sad People
She Writes Nov 2017
Sad people always try to make those around them feel happy and loved, because they know how bad it feels to be sad and alone.

Roller Coaster
She Writes Nov 2017
I told you I was a mess
You begged me to let you inside
So buckle up baby
And enjoy the ride

Yet To Come
She Writes May 2018
I know it hurts now
But wipe your tears
And face your fears
The best is yet to come
307 · Nov 2017
You Make My:
She Writes Nov 2017
You make:

My hands shake
My ground quake
My heart break
My head ache
My tears lake
My brain wake
305 · Jun 2018
Someone, Somewhere
She Writes Jun 2018
She needed someone to love her
When she couldn’t love herself
Someone to hold her
When she couldn’t hold on any longer
Someone to make her laugh
When she couldn’t bear to smile
Someone to be a positive light
In her twisted dark thoughts
294 · Nov 2017
My Star
She Writes Nov 2017
You remind me of a star
So beautiful,
But so dangerous,
I can only love you from afar

If I try to get close
You burn me alive
But without you
My sky would be empty

In the light it’s easy to pretend
But when the dark comes
it’s clear;
You light up my world

When darkness falls again
There you are
A constant reminder
Of what will never be
293 · May 2018
Lingering
She Writes May 2018
I know you had to leave
But how I wish you’d stayed
You’re presence is lingering
Driving me insane

I can taste you on my lips
I smell you my clothes
I can feel you under my fingertips
I don’t want to let it go
290 · Nov 2017
Searching
She Writes Nov 2017
And someday you’ll realize
She was different from the rest
you’ll search for pieces of her
in everyone else
282 · Apr 2018
Halfheartedly
She Writes Apr 2018
When you love
Do so with all your heart
Love was never meant to be given
Halfheartedly
278 · Jul 2022
Losing Hope
She Writes Jul 2022
I’ve been beaten down
Left to bleed out
Lick my wounds and retreat

Despite the pain

I still believe in love
Though it seems
Love no longer believes in me
278 · Nov 2017
Sun and Moon
She Writes Nov 2017
If I am the sun
You are the moon
My waves of tears
Are controlled by you

When I’m wide awake
In the middle of night
You are the reason
I can’t sleep tight

Your presence is suffocating
Rather in dreams or awake
My heart and soul
Is yours to take

Be gentle with me lover
Before I’m ready it’s over
277 · Mar 2018
Silent
She Writes Mar 2018
As for my family
We like our drinks strong
Our whiskey neat
Our tequila straight
And our women silent

Lows
She Writes Apr 2018
You know you’ve hit a new low
When even as a poet
You are at a loss for words

You Lit a Fire
She Writes Nov 2017
You lit a fire in my soul
Then you put me out
Nothing and no one
Will be able to rekindle that flame
267 · Nov 2017
Losing Myself in You
She Writes Nov 2017
Everyday

I become a little more you
And a little less me
Picking up bits and pieces
Until I lose myself completely

The End
She Writes Nov 2017
When he left she decided;
Dying didn’t sound so bad after all

You Are My Poem
She Writes Nov 2017
You are the poem I could never bear to write.
245 · Nov 2017
Falling
She Writes Nov 2017
It’s hard not to fall
Though I’m strong
The second you call
It doesn’t take long

Your voice so seductive and calm
Lulling me into a trance
Im like clay in your palm
Soft spoken word making my heart dance

I’d give anything to taste you
Feel your breath on every inch of me
In my ear whisper all you’d do
I’d be anything you want me to be

Unfortunately you’ll never know
Just how deep my feelings go

The Realization
She Writes Nov 2017
and one day I realized
you look at her
the way I look at you
