You're stuck in my head,

and I'm counting the days

until I can see you again.
12 more days......

Lies
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Every girl wants to be the one
that a guy falls head over heels over.

I used to have that honor to say
that I was that girl to someone.

But it turns out I was wrong.
Why is it so easy for people to lie?

Bye
Alice Kay Feb 2013
Bye
I need a shoulder to cry on

but I forgot no one cared but you

and now you're gone.
Ahhhhh, I'm in such a depressed mood tonight....I can't make this a habit.....

Me: if u could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Him: have no life exist on earth
Him: bye, i must be going now

Isn't this the happiest last actual conversation to have with someone you loved?

what is most dear to us

a secret will never be hidden

Again
Alice Kay Dec 2012
I'm probably stupid for doing this,

but I just can't help it...

I'm a big believer in second chances,

but this is you're fourth.

I'll say this is you're last chance,

but I know if it falls apart again

I won't be able to resist

and we'll start at a new beginning...

again
Just because i write something doesn't mean that's exactly what i mean...sometimes it just makes a good poem.

Believe
Alice Kay Feb 2013
"Everyone needs something to believe in. Don't they?"

"Yes, I suppose that's true."

Dear priest, I hope you know that what you say
is what people want to believe in.

Desperately.

One of the hardest things

One of the hardest things

is being in the same room as you

and knowing I can't even look at you

without receiving your look of disgust.

A needed lecture
Alice Kay Mar 2013
Just about now I could use a lecture

Yelling at myself for not moving on,

for not letting go,

for not being happy.

Delete
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Everyday the nostalgia washes over at dusk

everyday I go through chats from who you were

everyday I delete one... (at least)

everyday a memory is deleted

everyday a piece of you is deleted

everyday i realize i can't know the old you anymore

everyday Hyde slowly replaces Jekyll

Identity reveilD
Alice Kay Oct 2012
What must I do to escape this world
that I was forced into?
I've changed everything I could!
Three accounts after my first,
and I still can't find a way to share.
To share my thoughts and feelings
without one of my "friends" finding me
and acting all offended about what I write.
Isn't this a country of freedom of speech?
I should be able to write what ever I want
about anyone, so why are you so surprised
when I put my frustration in a poem?
Would you rather me physically slap you all
for your inconsideration, stupidity, and rudeness?
But I would never do that.
I'm such a kind girl that doesn't care
what people say or do to her
*right?
I can't wait until I leave...

At the end of the day...
Alice Kay Nov 2012
Laptop closed

Light turned off

Headphones plugged in

A sweet song plays softly

And as I drift to sleep...

The image your happy face

My eyes close with a smile

Fear

That happiness is up there

on top of the world,

an easy trip,

there are elevators and stairs

But I'm afraid of heights

Wake up call, idiots
Alice Kay Dec 2012
How easily people stop to care
it really sickens me.

Did they even truly care in the first place?

A tradgidy they call it.

But what are they doing to help?


NOTHING

they just keep talking about,
looking back at pictures from years ago,
how much they've changed.

Do they not remember
that just five days ago,
20 innocents never got that chance?

Do they not even think
of what those families have to face
when Christmas comes by
and the pre-bought gifts are left un-wrapped?

Or what about the many kids going to school
and they don't have a teacher
because she was murdered trying to save them?

How can you ever forget anything like that?
I sent pictures of the 20 innocents to a group chat, and a bunch of people just ignored any comments about them and started talking about pictures and other stupid things. Wake up call: NO ONE CARES WHEN THEIR CHILDREN ARE KILLED WHEN THEY ARE SEVEN, in fact THEY NEVER DO AND NEVER WILL!!!

sorry about that....but I'm just really mad right now.

Lake Effect
Alice Kay Mar 2013
Jump in a lake,
wash away the grey

Let your hair down,
let your mind drift away.

Let it go,
let it go,
let it go.

It will be okay.

Let it go,
let it go,
let it go,

It's so much better this way.

memories
Alice Kay Dec 2012
My favorite oldies songs
that used to bring a smile to my face
because you used to sing them to me

now bring a tear to my eye
because now you're gone...
and there's no way to get you back

Strange place
Alice Kay Jan 2013
There is a place I've heard of
many times from many people.
I've heard it's bright and green,
full of life and real smiles.

Of jumping around,
free of scolding parents
and constant demands of normal,
free of the heavy weight of societies expectations.

It's this strange, and wonderful place I've only heard of.
They say it's called "Happiness"
Not depressed or anything, just an idea! XD I'm so hypeeeerrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
437 · Feb 2013
Not again...
Alice Kay Feb 2013
When did I stop missing you?
When did I stop living in the past,
constantly remembering?

We all need to move on from any death,
but is it bad I almost never think of you anymore?

I feel like there's no emotional attachment.
I don't remember you much anymore,
just the last time I ever saw you                                                                                                *alive
Just really confused how much of letting go is good, and how much is bad, that I hardly even remember him.

Patience
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Just wait...

the perfect guy is out there

you'll find him someday! you just have to be patient.

But I was never a patient person...
#truestory
Alice Kay Jan 2013
You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here

Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I could
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental seem, for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle

Too many years fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say, "Goodbye"
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say, "Goodbye"
Help me say, "Goodbye"
This is from the Phantom of the Opera, it's my favorite song from the movie :)

Found
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Maybe there a chance for us n-

I'm done.

No more "us"

no more useless hoping.

I know better now,

that'll never work no matter what.

This time I'm just glad I have my friend back.

Freedom...? of speech
Alice Kay Dec 2012
"So I got this idea for a poem"

"Nono!!! You can't write that!
you'll regret it when he reads it"

Doesn't mean it's about him!!!

Freedom of Speech has more then one meaning

then being lawfully allowed to speak your mind.

And if it means you don't have to face consequences,

then that law is fake.
Ha....what freedom...when you have to be scared that every little thing you say will be taken the wrong way, or will set off a fuse...

No one
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Yeah, I'm that girl in the far corner of the classroom.
Headphones plugged in, solving math problems

but my mind is elsewhere.

the headphones blast sad music
bringing me down even more.

No one would guess tears threaten to fall
no one would guess that a storm is raging inside.

Then again, no one would guess I'm writing poetry,
not working on a stupid math program.

I guess that means no one knows me at all...

Brighter than the sun
Alice Kay Dec 2012
A bright light is blinding.

I guess you were to bright for me to handle.

And now I'm blind to everything but you.
Every time you blink after staring at a bright light, it's still there, and stays that way for a few moments. But how long does it last if the light is brighter then the sun? It blinds you forever.

Innocence is bliss
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Times of innocence pass,
day spent running around without a fear.
The future non-comprehendible,
not that it even mattered.
It was a time of living in the moment.
Of Mommy can fix any problem
and Daddy can do anything, and knows everything.

A time of complete and utter bliss.

If only I could re-live that time
and remember the exact feeling
of Daddy spinning me around in circles.
Of feeling like the whole world was my playground
and forgetting any bad things in a matter of seconds.
I wish I could stay young forever.

Real definitions
Alice Kay Jan 2013
You said she was patronizing
that was a new vocabulary term.
But it was really you that was guilty.

You called everyone a hypocrite,
even me sometimes...even before you hated me.
I guess that was another vocabulary term that I learned
by example.
Alice Kay Jan 2013
You always imagine something to happen a certain way.

But for some reason,

it seems the other person always has a different imagination.
idk........random thought of the day.
Alice Kay Dec 2012
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Baby won't you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

My fear
Alice Kay Sep 2012
Blackened windows surround me,
darkness wait in the shadows,
waiting for the very moment I become vulnerable.

Waiting to leap out
grab my life,
and run away with it.

The world around me is in shades of black.
My blonde hair stands out,
my blue eyes don't match the sky,
my green sweater is to bright.

Where's the sun?

Stop it
Alice Kay Mar 2013
Why can't you just let it go

and stop ruining it for everyone else?
I don't care what went down between us! You can't ruin things for everyone else just because it's awkward for you! We aren't little kids anymore!

Again we run away

Again we try to solve a minor problem

with all this useless drama.
