Overheard
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
I can't forget
The things you've said
And that's something I regret

If I hadn't been there
If I hadn't been listening so closely
Then I wouldn't have heard what you didn't want to share

Some secrets that
I just cannot keep though I try
Secrets that when inside make me weep and wish I had not heard your
*little chat
Prompt: write about a time someone has eavesdropped

Dry The Tears
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
The wind
As it gusts
My feelings;
If I could just
Make them form
Into words
Like a perfect storm

The wind
A gentle breeze
It comes to me to send
A thoughtful quote
As it recites
It helps me dry
My eyes

*as the wind softly blows
it wipes away the tears
and that, no one knows

Beyond Words
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
Our friendship has grown
I knew back then we'd see each other,
Roll our eyes and groan

We were with our friends
When we got introduced
We decided to call a truce

Now we are unseperable
Like peas in a pod
To think we ever hated each other is quite odd
Prompt: Tell about a friendship.
Me and one of my best friends Kyleigh, hated each other until we were properly introduced

Windows To The Soul
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
beautiful
Is really all I can say
Your eyes like the sun;
Light up my day
Like the ocean;
Deep with a hint of blue
A tint of green
But that's what makes you
you
Prompt: Write about two people, (yourself and another or another two) making eye contact for the first time.

Do You Ever Wonder?
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
do you ever wonder,
how i feel when you smile at me

do you ever ponder
of what you could see

do you know*
what i wish we could be
Prompt: How do you feel if you love someone and they don't love you back?   (I only write with poem prompts  that I can kind of relate to)

Misunderstood
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
When I said
A few words
You thought I meant
What you heard
Except what you heard wasn't about you
I tried to say this and now our relationship
Is quite askew
Just some bad poetry

Alone
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
all alone is me
Next to the water, like a sea

O I cry
How I cry!
Sometimes.
I.
Wish.
I.
Could.
Die.
I'm not suicidal but came up with this while having a stomach ache so I definitely didn't feel awesome

Scars and Sores

The Ocean
Olivia A Keaton Oct 2016
The Ocean Blue
Salty like the tears of you
To restore my love what can I do?
For a cloud soars over the deep
*O' I weep
O' I weep!
Just a poem I came up with today

October

leaves
So colorful, but makes trees bare
the atmosphere
I love the cool, crisp air
October 10*
A day I will celebrate and share
My birthday is coming up in 8 days❤️

You Make Me High
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
first it was all about pain
now I actually take you to gain
the sensation that makes me high
boy I'll tell you, with you I swear I can fly
you make me feel like I'm eight feet tall
but honey let me tell you the worst part is the fall
but is it worth it they say
every time I take you I don't know if I'll see another day
so no it's not worth it
but I can't help it
I'm an addict
so don't make the same mistake as me
don't take opioids and good your health will be
For health class at school we have to write why people should not take opioids and get addicted. This is a rough draft I'll edit later

Poetry and Pottery
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
He molded me in his hands, rough and scary
Just the way he wanted me to be

He sat for hours at the pottery wheel
What he didn't see was the real me and how I truely feel

He doesn't care about my perfect imperfections
If I'm not the way he wants me, he sees me as infectious

He molds and molds while I blankly stare
I should leave and my feelings I would spare

*the sensation makes me not care
It's kind of bad but you know it's just what i came up with.
Sep 2016 · 186
Indescribable
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
When you talk
And the way you walk
Like you don't give a care
And don't get me started on your hair 
Your smile; a rare thing
But when you use it, it makes me want to sing


*youre beautiful in every way, if only I could say
These feelings that I feel are indescribable

Never Let Go
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
Love
What can we do about it
It's something we can't control
It's risky, very risky my love
But maybe in the end it's worth every second
then again the game of risk
is a tricky one
Love is strong
but a single word can break it
Be careful dear
Hold on to love
Cherish it;
Keep it;
And whatever you do,
Never ever let go
I just found this old poem I wrote a long time ago

Fall Is Here
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
Many people think fall is sad
However I don't think Fall is all that bad

Death of grass and leaves is not the object of focus during the Fall
There are things like colors and leaves around you
Now the good things, don't you see them all?
its kind of bad an I'm sorry but I'm kind of in gifted right now so..

People

Don't take this seriously I love you all but some people... Ugh

My Amusment
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
I kinda like poems you know
I guess I've fell in love with how the words flow.
Poetry is now my everyday passion

Nonsense
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
You know that word
It has meaning to me
Because nonsense is not nonsense in my world
Nonsense is perfectly sensible you see


*nonsense will never be nonsense to me

I really do
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
I love you (really I do)
I wish you knew (really I do)
You make me feel as if I'd flew (you really do)
Just a little poem to write
Sep 2016 · 262
Can you not?
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
So perfect but flawed at the same time
Like this poem will be
It probably won't rhyme
If it does it will ****
Because I'm trying to think of words
And I'm just kinda stuck
Writing my feelings, though you probably don't care
So if you're on my page and you don't like it at all
**beware
I'm sorry for the bad poem. I'll try and make a better one later.

Little one.
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
Dear Little One,
What Is It Like
Being Happy All The Time?
Having Everyone In The World To Play With,
And Hearing Angels Chime?
A Beautiful And Strong Voice Telling You It Will Always Be Alright,
Even When Down Here, Countries Are Having Fights?
Little One, We Miss You, But We Know You're Happy In The Sky
Tell Me, Is God An Awesome Guide?
In loving memory of Gabriel 9-2-16 ❤️

Self Portrait
Olivia A Keaton Sep 2016
Obviously clumsy
Living with it well
Indecisive for sure
Very loud and over excited
Irreplaceable one of a kind
A** bad poet that pays no mind
Stole the title from Abby but I thought these were cool.

Toxic
Olivia A Keaton Aug 2016
I black out as I hear my name

beep.     beep.     beep.

Death is peaceful. Maybe I'm not dead.

It's a *dream

A dream in which I cannot be woke from.

The thought of it. My death dream it's like the best thing.

And it is very intoxicating
By the way I'm not suicidal or anything but this is an ok poem.

Lost Things
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2016
We all have material things we love, do we not?
A lot of them are now forgotten and lost
blankets
      books
           keys
              and even toys

but i will share a secret
a secret of a story you may know as well
in it is my favorite lost thing and here i will tell
but i don't care about the stories of lost toys
**because my favorite thing that is lost is that of the lost boys
Based on Peter Pan of course.

Little Bundle of Excitement
Olivia A Keaton Jul 2016
she won't tell me the name

I'm excited for sure
but the question that kills me
is one that will be revealed when its **born
She won't tell me the names (sigh)

Souls
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
Ok
So they say
That you become most
Like the ones you are
Around the most
Is that because
Every time you exhale you lose a
Fragment of your soul
Then everytime you inhale you take in a part of another's
Then your last breath would be the very last fragment of your soul

The Scream
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
mysterious man on the boardwalk
who are these men in dark cloaks behind you that chose to stalk?
mysterious man if you know them why do you scream?
are you afraid of their malicious scheme?
if you scream don't keep walking then stop
for the men might **** you
then dead you will drop
mysterious man you must've stood quite a while
for your picture is made and viewed by the hour
Based on the poetry prompt: base a poem on a famous painting.
I chose the scream

Last. Breath.
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
I know what's coming
I hear the sound of distant humming

                 My last breath is arriving
All around me death is thriving

                 My heart is shriveled up
Why am I crying? I'm grown up
    
                 The war has got the best of me
Now I die beside the sea

                 When will this war be over?
Then as I rollover

I take my *last breath
War

Paradise of Strangers
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
" don't speak to them"
that's what your parents say
but there's something about them that
intrigues* you
something that's mysterious
tempting even
that's the **Paradise of Strangers

Then it's not true
And I fall *

Poems
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
Rhyming words or phrases
Talking of poem basics
Speaking through the writing
About love
Hate
And fighting
Poems are a beautiful thing
Deep dark and mesmerizing....

My Dear Future Self.....
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
Coffee will be your life
Everyday at college you'll pray not to stab your professor with a knife.
You hope to find a nice guy
When it fails, you won't wanna try
But he will come along.
You might have the voice for song
You'll probably have a cat
However he's probably dead
We don't know where he's at.
This is my cousin Abigail's life.❤️

Abusive, Abusive, Love
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
Abused
Used
But
I fell for it
It was great
But now I hate
The thing we call "love"
Every man that comes along think they are in a place above
But they push and shove
Then we are back to abused
Used

Lifeless
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
I dreamed a dream so pretty
But it was about self pity
I was all alone
In a land so far away
Right beside an ocean bay
On this little lonely island
The colors exquisite
But there was no one there to live it
So alone I set
And there I wept

Nightmares
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
Alone
Me
Never again shall I see
That beautiful loving face of yours that used to be
To you I used to cling
Now a sad song I sing
Walking home
All alone
To where we used to be
My love I miss you
But do you miss me?

Dreams
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
You
Me
No more people
Not even three
Just you and me
Walking along the sea
Talking about things of days
Walking in a salty haze
You look at me and then
I wake up
Sad and alone again
Had this dream and I thought I'd make it into a poem.

Secrets
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
My hope,
Because it's very disappointing

My love,
Because it's very hurtful

My passion
Because it's very awkward

My heart
Because it's very vulnerable...

Untitled
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
He looked at me;
     As though I were a treat.
I liked the idea of jumping into his arms and breathing in the scent of him,
     But he has put me through a lot,
He's lied to me I tell myself
      But he saved my life,
He's risked it too.
      I look away to fight the temptation of him,
And to my amazement I start to cry
      I've been through a lot I can cry
But he puts his hand to my shoulder and whispers,
   "Come now luv, queens do not cry. Come with me Alyssa, fly with me over our world.
That's when he and I,
Or MY king and I flew over OUR wonders
Wonderland
It's not that good but it's ok
May 2016 · 221
Wonderland
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
Wonderland is full of madness,
       That's perfect because I am too.

Wonderland is uncertain,
       That's fine because I am too.

To get to wonderland you must fall down a dark hole,
        That's okay I often do.

To be the ruler of wonderland they say you have to be as mad as a hatter,
                           Luckily, I am.

The woods
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
The woods are
Lovely;
Dark;
And deep;
But I have
Promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep.

I Love You
Olivia A Keaton May 2016
When you look at me and smile
              Although that only happens
                    Once in a long while
It makes me feel like I'm loved
                But that's probably not true
                            Anyways, not from you.
It wouldn't make sense for you to like me,
                But if you do,
                       Please just keep it in lock
Because if you don't it may later break our
                             Heart.
Originally by me.
