Flavor of the Week

You were just a flavor of the week,
but I've learned that cherry wasn't my favorite.
Even though you leave me a little weak --
on my knees and vulnerable.
No matter how many times I try to savor it,
it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

There are always two side of a story,
two sides of a coin,
and two sides of a person.

So I ask you,
How can you expect your love to last
if it is only one-sided?

Fire can only spark.
Tongues are only held.
Fences are built high,
and secrets kept shelled.

Nothing ignites.
Words left unsaid.
Unbroken walls.
This love is dead.

So I ask you again,
How can you expect your love to last
if it is only one-sided?

Cherry juice and sweet surprises,
how wonderful it is that you light up my eyes.
Cold and refreshing, sip of juice, like the sugary kisses that bright up the room.
Lick my lips, smother me in your lavishing desires, as for one day we will have forever eternal love.
I love to love you.

You catch life
one tear at a time
to one day
fill an ocean.
I heard you liked short poems, so here's one for you.

You came to me an angel.
With gleaming eyes, seduced.
Around your head a halo,
now become my noose.

The stars shine bright

as the moon emits light

It's all prettier than I write




I write about depression

My obsessions

and my daily confessions




It's easier to write

than to fight

most of the time




I write by candlelight

or so I wish

I instead write by a LED light

The one I bought on wish

but that's not the important bit




The sun & the moon

will always upstage

this fool

after all,

they're too

**** beautiful

Life has been one a hell of a ride,
Sometimes it gets so hard that I just wanna hide.
****, I used to be so so happy while growing up,
Don't get too close now I'll give you up.
It hasn't been easy for me,
I know it's hard to believe with all the lies u see.
I'll give anything for the fame,
Yes, I'll do anything to make u know my name.
Don't tell me to take my time,
I know I'll shine.
Don't tell me I'll be fine,
I just want what's mine
