Collapse
Alice Kay Nov 2012
I'm falling behind
and I can't keep up.

Everyone else is leaping ahead
while I'm just trying to find my balance.

A breeze knocks me down again
but everyone else embraces it.

what's wrong with me?



maybe it's better i just give up

Trapped words
Alice Kay Nov 2012
The only one that would understand

doesn't want to listen
292 · Dec 2012
Worse..?
Alice Kay Dec 2012
There it is...
i wrote everything i ever felt about everything
and gave it to the world
I don't know if it was worth it,
or ever will be.

Now it's almost worse...
because I'll be waiting
with knots in my stomach
until i get a response
I don't even know if i'll ever get one...

Help me find
Alice Kay Mar 2013
Please help me find the smiles,
the happiness,
whatever is left of the joy,
and if there’s any love left,
please show it to me.
I know it's bad!

I might edit it later.

Bitter sweet..... (10w)
Alice Kay Nov 2012
The many happy memories are the cause of my tears
289 · Jan 2013
Maybe...
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Maybe this year will be better.
Vacant of heartbreak and disappointments

Maybe this year the smiles will reach my eyes
and the laughs actually real
288 · Mar 2013
Each and everyone
Alice Kay Mar 2013
All just wishing this could last forever.

Just dreading when they have to go back

to their own reality

These love songs' lyrics

drowned
Alice Kay Dec 2012
I didn't realize how much I loved air,

how much a desperately needed it

...until I was drowning.

Please......
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Everyday, a tear is driven to the edge
'til it's about to fall off the edge of the cliff
it often does
I miss going to sleep with a smile on my face...
please come back

Eye of the storm
Alice Kay Oct 2012
The wind howls around us
branches flying by
the rain stinging.

But we are safe in each other's arms
We are the eye of the storm.

Were
Alice Kay Feb 2013
You made me want to die of heart break

but you were my reason for living.
Ahhhhhh, it's another one of those hangover nights (not literally :P )

Keep making me smile,

but please don't let me fall.
279 · Feb 2013
Ugh!
Alice Kay Feb 2013
How can you read the last thing I sent to you

and think I don't care?
278 · Feb 2013
Wars
Alice Kay Feb 2013
When so many battles are fought

and energy dies with each blow

both given and received

you begin to wonder

if this war is even worth fighting.

October ( 10 w )
Alice Kay Oct 2012
Autumn...it's the kind of color memories are made of.

Many little confessions
Alice Kay Dec 2012
A little dot of red appears on my cheek.

soon it is joined by others,

they grow from the scratch.

I watch as each one slowly becomes a bead

of rich red color.

They are so close together, that many merge

and become larger, heavy

to heavy to stay on my cheek.

I watch my face in the mirror as one by one

they roll down my cheek, leaving a stain

they reach the bottom of my cheek

and hang there for just a moment

before dropping to the carpet.

Joining old rust-colored dots decorating the white carpet.

A testimony to the pain hidden deep inside my soul.

Run along, Boy.
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Shut up and move along, boy.

'cause you've just been replaced.
}:)  Idk...I felt like showing a bit of attitude. I promise I'm not really like this in real life.
Alice Kay Feb 2013
It’s one of those nights
when I can only describe
how I feel about you
with a tear.
:'(
273 · Dec 2012
Goodbye
Alice Kay Dec 2012
I feel like some over attached girlfriend...
I hope I don't seem that way,
but if we aren't even going to be distant friends,
then I want things to be left on a positive note.
idk.....

Falling...
Alice Kay Jan 2013
It can get so tiring
fighting against air
when you are continuously falling.
271 · Jan 2013
The healing process
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Shruging like it's no big deal,
smiling and truely meaning it,
seeing other options...
better options then you were.

All part of beginning the process of letting go.
270 · Dec 2012
Glass
Alice Kay Dec 2012
I try not to lose control now...

because I know this time I won't be able to recover

once I burst
When a glass breaks, you can never find every single tiny shard
270 · Nov 2012
Home....
Alice Kay Nov 2012
Day and night,
summer and winter.
The years past,
memories fly by.
And yet,
no matter what will come,
I’ll never forget my first and last true home.
To a friend for his birthday

Stop messing with my mind

and get out of my dreams.

I don't want you here anymore
270 · Feb 2013
I've had enough
Alice Kay Feb 2013
It's been enough.

nothing will ever be right

I'll make once last climb to the top

this time to the very top

before I fall




and end


it                                                     ­                   


all                                      ­                                                                 ­                              .

Everyone says everyone says
Alice Kay Feb 2013
Everyone says you will figure out your purpose in life soon enough.

But that hasn't happened yet.
264 · Dec 2012
I will NOT cry!
Alice Kay Dec 2012
I won't cry!

I won't.

I won't...

I tell myself that over and over

as the tears continue to fall
263 · Jan 2013
Those nights...
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Everyone promises to move on
to forget.

Everyone also has those nights now and then
when all promises melt away
to uncover past memories and regrets.
Nights like this one.

Disconnect
Alice Kay Jan 2013
When most people move away,
it's to a different town or state.

But you had to move to a different country
and forget how to speak our language.

Tears
Alice Kay Nov 2012
Tears are words
that the heart can't say
A quote i found online... anonymous
260 · Jan 2013
Gone
Alice Kay Jan 2013
I just hope
that I won't stop
wishing you were here
As friends move, over time, I get used to them being gone, and sometimes forget about them...I'm scared that will happen again

What ruins
Alice Kay Nov 2012
One slip of tongue can ruin a bond

so close...

that it defied all laws of society

Come home... (10w)
Alice Kay Oct 2012
Ever since you left home....its never been the same
My best friend recently moved to the other side of the country...so yeah....this is to Rachel
258 · Dec 2012
So be it
Alice Kay Dec 2012
You don't understand...
you never will

Ever.

You don't understand that late nights
are all I have.

So what if it affects my grades?                                                          ­        (by the way, it doesn't)
At least I'll know that someone will hear me.
that someone will be able to relate

Because you never will.
As much as you think you do.

This is the only way to break out of my shell.
And if I have to fight you to get my hammer,

*so be it
Alice Kay Dec 2012
"Losing" you
gave me the chance to see
what's really important in life.
257 · Nov 2012
Damaged goods
Alice Kay Nov 2012
I could tell you were hurting..

but from what?



You wouldn't let me help..


And that made us fall apart




**** whatever's hurting you
                              
*and come back to me
'cause i need you...........
257 · Jan 2013
Maybe this time around
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Maybe this time when the fog rolls by,

you'll leave with it.
257 · Dec 2012
Happiness
Alice Kay Dec 2012
It's when you walk away with a smile on your face,
wind blowing your hair back,
a song playing in your head,
contrasting the usual depressing tune.

Just knowing that there's a chance for us...

                                                                                                                                              *maybe...

Hurricane of break
Alice Kay Oct 2012
When you ended everything we had going for us,
I was caught in a hurricane.

Now that the storm has past,
All I can do is fix the damage and try to move on.

Haunted House
Alice Kay Nov 2012
When you jump out

I feel that thrill of being scared

of the hope

that maybe you'll stay this time.

Time
Alice Kay Jan 2013
"Your absence should be long enough that someone misses you,
but it should never be so long that some learns to live
without you."

Worse..
Alice Kay Oct 2012
The only thing worse then knowing your doing something to hurt someone
is doing something that hurts someone you love...
*and you don't even realize it.
