Early Smiles
- Oct 2013
its barely six in the morning
I find myself staring
into the eyes of a loved one
that guy is like sunshine
every single time
his body is pressed
against mine
the best moments
of my life
are the ones
that I've shared
with him
he makes me
want to keep smiling

Everlasting Joy
- Oct 2013
once had a dream
never knew
what it meant
until I met him

then I realized
we were connected
all this entire time
the puzzle piece
fitted just right
found a match

his existence
makes me feel
so much joy
my best friend
and soulmate
until the end

I love him so.

Think Before You Comment
- Oct 2013
I don't write to impress
or to be a part of
a writing cult
I write to express
hoping that
people can relate
nothing more
nothing less
so think of that
before you comment
on my personal poems

kinda annoyed right now. needed to vent.

Drug Is Him
- Oct 2013
I know what I feel
but how do I express it
in a way you understand
that it is real?

you kiss my lips
before I even speak
before I can say
all the words
that haunt me
and send chills

before I get a chance
to perfect my lines
you put your hands
around my waist
and I lose myself
in your eyes
those brown eyes
that make me weak
from just one glance

nothing distracts me more
than his hungry lips
when he pushes me down
towards the bed
and bites my neck hard
so innocent and cute
yet *******
when the door
is closed

my favorite drug to take
is his sweet love

Bad Things Attract Me
- Oct 2013
the baddest addictions
are with good intentions
not to cause harm
but to feel okay
I can say
I've never broken an arm
never been under
a sadistic charm
broken myself
but healed up again
kept going back
to feel my heart
patiently beating
poisonous thoughts
are like cyanide
so easy to think
it's even easier to die
the more addictions I have
the better I seem to feel
how tragic is that?
life has some
but no appeal

Be Grateful
- Oct 2013
its so hard to believe
that I am alive
to hold on
and to smile
when I feel so small
I wish sometimes
I could have it all
but that would be too much
too much of a good thing
life is meant for
a bit of suffering
so we are grateful
for everything
that we own

we take for granted
the paths of stone
that we walk on
we complain about
the dimes in
our pockets
how they are
not dollars

we talk about
how we wear
no real gold
only silver
or platinum
or colored
gem stones

we feel so poor
but let's face it
as long as
we're wealthy
in health
nothing else
should matter

be grateful for the air
that you breathe
be grateful for the love
you have received
be grateful for the people
who are in your life
be grateful for
the small things
that make you smile

be grateful for...your heartbeat.

Fairytale Reality
- Oct 2013
we burned bridges
then made amends
swore never to think
negative thoughts again
about ourselves or our love

we made a promise
to stay through
thick and thin
until the world
came crashing down
until the stars exploded
in the midnight sky
until the day
it breaks
you & I

people told me it was wrong
to love a man so strong
told me to leave
while I could
but the love
I have for you
is too intense
unlike a small fire
it can't burn out
being without you
would be like
being stuck
in the dark

your heart is my treasure
your touch is my desire
without you here with me
I'd sink like an anchor

my heart could explode
from love gone overboard
the intensity of it all
is so difficult to ignore
I fall harder than I did
the day I saw you
standing by that door
constantly falling
harder than I ever did
before and after

every time we kiss
I feel my heart ignite
I can feel the butterflies
I can feel those sparks
fly into the air
when you're near

when I hear your name
I scribble it on notebooks
when I see your face
I almost lose my senses
everything falls into place
when you're next to me
I love seeing you every night
when you're wide awake
when you're sound asleep
I feel like I live in a dream
seems too good to be real
but it is, truly is
the man of my dreams
is here in person
not just in my mind
or in my thoughts
© Natali Veronica 2013.

this poem was inspired by the love of my life.
he makes me the happiest, luckiest girl alive.

This Is What Makes Us Girls
- Oct 2013
There are times in a young woman's life
Where she has to protect herself
Protect her heart and words
Because nothing ever lasts
Unless you know boundaries
When it comes to love
When it comes to trust
When it comes to honesty
When it comes to security

Girls grow up thinking
''
Growing up sounds fun''
But then, as time goes on
We begin to miss being *young

Being free spirits in terms of youth
In terms of thinking and feeling
And the importance of confidence
As well as being free to have fun
As if life had just begun

Young girls are more confident
Well, in the childhood days
But as they grow and understand
The importance of beauty overshadows them
And as they go through puberty
They realize how much beauty
Is a major factor in happiness
When they become obsessed
With self-appearances
And body types
Make-up
Alcohol
Drugs
*****

Not sure what the hell I just wrote, hahah.
Just felt really inspired and this is the finished piece.
I don't know if this makes any sense at all, hope it does though.

Waters Of A Lost Forever
- Oct 2013
Alone, she walked the road of despair
Looking for the man of her dreams
But he was nowhere to be found.

Her heart broke into a thousand pieces
Looking for the one who completed hers
She tried so desperately to hold on
To what she believed to be true
Knowing all too well that she
Would lose herself
Trying to find
Him.

Her eyes would be filled to the brink
With tears that flowed like a river
It felt like an anchor
Was making her sink
Into the waters
Of a lost forever.
© Natali Veronica 2013.

Poetic little short story, I guess.
It was something I wrote late in the night.

Story Telling
- Oct 2013
I used to believe that happiness was in
gaining a love, gaining security
gaining hope from within

but the longer I live
the more I lose touch
with what I used to believe
and what I once thought
was the right things in life
the best of them all
but everyone suffers
temporary or permanent
life changing downfalls

and we all grieve
at some point in life
either the loss of ourselves
or the loss of loved ones
we all feel and will feel
endless bouts of pain
sharp pains that can feel
like strangulation
or self-inflicted
times of illusion

misguided thoughts
and moments of weakness
psychotic rages
and times of
confusion

I have felt so much in a short space of time
it is hard to believe that I am somewhat 'fine'
the amount of trauma sustained
from the painful migraines
the way it felt like someone
squeezing and pressuring my head
the way it felt like my brain
was going to explode
at some known time and place
the way it felt like system malfunction
was taking it's course of faith
how it took so much away from my life

people say strong people never feel pain
and that they have no reason
to feel anything but joy
well those people are wrong
because I was once strong

and look what the **** happened
depression took over my soul
and stripped me of my voice
it broke me to the point
of almost shooting myself
in the head with a gun
that's what my dreams
always consisted of
suicide and a loss of pride
a loss of consciousness
felt like someone was
controlling my heart
poking holes
and making me bleed
until I was seeing stars
even if I was behind doors
my mind made me delusional
made me drift away from reality
I'm still not myself at all
not functioning properly

I don't sleep anymore
not even drugs are a cure
not even *** stimulates
my naked body is a disgrace
when I look in the mirror
I can imagine it shatter

my whole sense of view
about everything of me
is honestly the worst
there is no in-between
sometimes I wonder
if life will ever get
as good as it once was

that chapter of my life
is still yet un-explored
but I picture it
in my head
all the time
© Natali Veronica 2013.

Again, super personal poem.
I was trying to write longer than usual,
because my dream is to write a novel,
or a biography of some sort.
I wanted to expand my writing skills.

Your opinions and comments mean a lot to me,
tell me what you think. I need opinions.

Her Face
- Oct 2013
The thought of seeing your face today
is enough to make me smile with joy
not sure if you even still like me
but your words say the truth
and I know it's going to be
a very beautiful day
to be alive and sane
and to be insane
with lovely hope
and maybe
bittersweet
intense thoughts
of the one I
haven't seen
in all these months
I hope you like me
just as much as I
like your face

Own Kind Of Heaven
- Oct 2013
sensitive to the slightest touch
everything you give me
sends me to the heavens
and all of the above
you consume my time
you consume my brain
you consume my thoughts
the brewing passion
in my thin veins
never seem to fade
you push my buttons
you drive me insane
still I hear myself
repeating your name
when your body
is pressed against mine
your love is beyond
what I can imagine
maybe this is
my own kind
of heaven

Opening My Heart Up To You
- Oct 2013
blood runs through my veins
I guess that means I'm alive?
my heart is getting oxygen
I guess life is worth living?

despite all those things
my heart aches for happiness
misery is all I contain
from all the pressure
from all my pain

I am not perfect
I am quite definite
my heart is empty
my mind has plenty
too much emotion
it almost suffocates
and even destroys me

you know my name
not my emotional state
so think of that
the next time
you see my face

take a look in my eyes
do those eyes look happy?
take a look at my mouth
is it speaking of glory?

there is so much
I continue to hide
you haven't seen nothing yet
this is just the beginning of it

my mind is possessed
by negative thoughts
my personal demons
they simply applaud
they applaud
giving applause
to themselves
for destroying
what used to be
my healthy self

my body is thin
partly malnourished
my skin is quite pale
that happy glow
it simply vanished
eating disorder
trying to recover
possibly bipolar
my mood is
so out of order
feels like I'm stuck
on a rollercoaster

nobody knew all this
but since I'm a poet
I might as well express

I also have scars
not sure if you know
that I used to cause
myself physical harm
whenever I needed
to feel calm
I'm sure nobody knew
but now you all do
because I'm
opening my heart
to all of you
This is my most personal poem, ever.
So many on here have been so brave,
in opening up about their lives,
I thought I would too.

Poet's Identity
- Oct 2013
I put pen to paper
not knowing
what to expect
if I will be satisfied
with what I write
or if anyone
will like
what I
write

I don't see myself
as a gifted soul
all my words
were dug up
from the dark
and beautiful
parts of me
that were
buried
in soil

my heart speaks
so loudly
even my mind
can hear
the echoing
of my thoughts
as I think of the
memories
which made me
and created
the identity
of the poet
that I became
to be

With a kiss
So I know

Bite my lip
Look in my eyes
Hold me all night

Every Night

It's his birthday
Can't help but
Tell him I love him

It's been a heavenly day
Coffee, kisses & cigarettes
Neck bites, flirtatious disses
Romantic, sappy poems
He makes me feel alive
In every possible way

His brown eyes
Gives me
Butterflies
His smile
Makes me
Weak inside

Those french kisses though
So hot, unbelievable
Makes me fall
Under his spell
Every single night
Our love is so right

When it malfunctions
My head pressures me
When I go through a meltdown

What The Fuck Happened?
- Sep 2013
I can be your punching bag
Or a shoulder to cry on
All those tears you cried
I can be your perfect girl
Or the mess you seem to be
If we take a step forward
We can rule this world
Whatever it takes
You know I'll be
Adjusting me
To be the puzzle piece
That you so desperately need
I would be anything for you
The best there is
Or the worst mess
Together we are a team
As long as you're with me
Then I'll be here for you
No matter what we
Seem to go through
I can't give up on you
You push me away
Constantly
We used to be
Bestest friends
But now it feels
Like it's all come to an end
You're mean on purpose
It's the main reason I relapsed
I fell apart last night
I talked to you
While I was crying
You kept bragging
About your best friends
And my heart was breaking
Then you told me
That I was ****
And it's hard to believe
That you once loved me
You saved my life
But ultimately broke me
This cuts into me like a knife
We used to speak for hours
But now we speak a few times
Every other week
And I cannot sleep
Because of you
I see you in my dreams
It's the opposite of everything
Can't pretend I'm coping
I miss you so bad
Why did you have to act out
I lost so much, I lost
My best friend
You let it all
Burst into flames
And now we are the dust
On the concrete pavement

Hooked For Life

You spark a fire in my heart
I swear without you
I would fall apart

You are everything
All I want and more
One hit of your love drug
And I'm hooked for life

Sweet and mysterious
Your love is my weakness
Can't live without it
If I even attempted
My heart would break

Love has gone to my head
Losing my mind over this
But I know that this is real
I can't deny what I feel

When we're drunk
When we're alone
We share this
Chemistry
That spark
In our hearts
When we're
At home

We sit on the floor
We talk about
What is ours

I lay almost barely clothed
As he puts his hands
On my waist
We kiss a lot
We drink
And smoke
And then the
Whole night
Becomes
A dreamy

Alexander

Alexander is a dream come true
He makes me smile
Like the moon does
At midnight

There is this intense
Yet sweet sensation
That makes it's way
Through my veins
Whenever he says
Or speaks my name

He reminds me
Of my favorite
Musician
When he plays
His guitar
I get so captivated
As I sit and listen

He reminds me of my
Favorite photographer
The way he captures
Every beautiful
Picture

He reminds me of the sun
That shines on me
When I need peace
And clarity

Alexander brings out
The best in me
He brings joy
Such a perfect
Young man

No one compares
When it comes to him
He is my sunshine
When it rains
On my parade

Waking up next to him
Is the best thing
In the world
He makes me feel
Beautiful
He makes me
Feel proud
To be his girl

Left My Heart

It's a weird feeling
Not talking to the one
Who at one point
Meant everything
Used to be a
Potential love
But it was fake
And so was his name
I guess I wish
I could rewind
Maybe we could
Have made it right
But we couldn't
Because I found out
What didn't seem right
I still miss those moments
Even though you
Left my heart
Aching &
Breaking

There is no need
For reverse

Is to think
Like the one

Maybe it's their intelligence

Maybe the way they act
And are well spoken
With their words

That tell the tale

Tragedies Do Happen

Fancy clothes, expensive cars
Big diamonds, fine cigars
Money beyond compare
So many riches everywhere
Perfect family, amazing friends
The blessings never seem to end
But despite having it all
You could easily fall
Money can't buy
Happiness
That would
Be ridiculous
Money makes
People miserable
Makes you feel
Too powerful
It can make you
An addict
*******
Diet pills
Alcohol
Prescription
Substance abuse
It can cause
Early deaths
Money, fame
You could have
The full works
But it wouldn't
Make a difference
You'd still be
The fragile shell
Filling yourself
With material things
Silicone, toxins
Baby, take your
Medicines
Take care of
Your life
Before it
Becomes
A ****** case
In paradise
A bullet through
Your skull and brain
Because you had
What everyone
Wanted to gain.

So many familiar faces
Different appearances
I guess it's because
Of all those changes
That occur when we age
When we grow older
Smarter, wiser
We change
All the time

Memories though
Those we built
Together
When we
Were carefree
And as calm
As the sunny
Weather

We might change how we look
But we are still ourselves
On the inside

With different
Hardbacks
And covers

Future

he kissed me yesterday
igniting my aching heart
our favorite record then
began to play and we
lost ourselves in
each other's eyes
exchanging kisses
sharing feelings
he makes me feel
he makes me heal
this love is surreal
the smell of cigarettes
mixed with my perfume
Chanel No. 5 to be exact
it filled the entire room
he stared at me all night
kissed my hand and then smiled
said he loved holding me
and we talked about our future
how we were meant to be
as a whole, as a pair
and we kept talking
about our fairytale
cute little future

never thought of you
as more than a friend
sorry to disappoint you
but I had to step back
in the very end

back together with the guy I left
after realizing my mistake
this girl and I
weren't what I thought

friends with her, I'll gladly be
but I can't forget that one lie
that she had told me

it was only one
but a big one indeed
I thought she was someone else
but that was just a lie

Rip Apart The Canvas
- Sep 2013
looking at you
staring away
pretending
I'm okay

You were art
in my eyes
but now
I rip apart
the canvas
that was once
valuable in time

Dread
- Sep 2013
its too early to think
need a drink
to blank out
thoughts
of you

you're stuck
in my head
get out
don't
want
you
there

feeling nothing
but dread

Breaking Heart
- Sep 2013
Can't go on without your love
You are the one I'll always want
I feel like I have found the one
But you don't love me and it hurts
Please forgive me, falling hard
For the one who left me scarred
My heart is empty without you
You're the reason I pulled through
Don't leave me alone here
I'm falling down the stairs
My dress is covered with stains
The stains which are my flaws
Forgive me, I'm losing control
I need your love, I'm so ill
There are no happy pills
Only lows and temporary thrills
Cannot go on like this
You said you'd catch my fall
My heart, it suffocates
You made me feel
Like I had it all
You took my heart
I broke down my walls
Stood for nothing
Now my heart
Is crumbling
My hands are shaking
My knees are trembling
You are the medicine
Why aren't you then?

Reason

You keep me from sinking
You keep me breathing
You are my reason for living
Let me be the reason
You're still surviving.

Heartstrings
- Sep 2013
As much as I despise it
My love for you is

                                    F A R
Beyond the hatred.

I love your sinful,
beautiful ways,
of playing with,
my heartstrings.

I guess I love...everything.
Your ugly sins.
Your beautiful lies.
Your tainted feelings.
How I wish I could despise.

Oh, your anger.
Oh your clever ***** ways,
of playing with my heartstrings.

Your filthy hands covered in my blood of love.
You never even had the chance to put on gloves.

Dark Minded
- Sep 2013
Over the past few years, the need for happiness,
was high, but my feelings were low,
I guess you could say I am numb,
but I have a strong appearance,
so the sadness never shows.

The happier I was at times,
the more misfortune I'd receive,
as an unwelcome gift.

My heart has been torn, broken,
emotionally scarred and bruised,
but I have never given in to the pain,
because of the strength I supposedly possess,
a reason I let go without thought,
despite knowing of the later,
consequence of me doing so,
eventually I knew that trouble,
trouble was to come & I'd be undone,
I would have to battle myself again,
knowing I could be easily broken,
while trying to patch up my old wounds,
and heal my own personal scars.

A few years ago, I had no faith,
I had no hope, I had no strength,
I was lost, delusional at my worst,
trying to keep myself together,
in this battle of life or death.

I have my own share of regrets,
my secrets, my stories to tell,
but the thought of telling people,
made my eyes swell up,
ready to cry tears,
I was willing to stop,
stop my own heart,
to keep my pain,
a secret in tact.

Self-love, what is that?
I have never known it.
I have only ever covered myself,
in the disguise which is my smile,
whether anyone ever knew,
I guess I'll never know.
