The fatal happiness erupts
from my every pore as I release you
into the wind like a balloon.
The string
once tied to my wrist -
was an anchor.
Away you go
into thin air
like you had never existed before.
Warmth begins to fill the frozen holes
within my being
and light bubbles to the brim
ready to show the world.
This new excitement,
wrapped around me,
burns with flames
of new found passion
and of thrill.
That feeling,
again ignited,
within my heart --
which tremors a bit in return
with the reminiscence.
I had never thought
happiness was possible,
for me,
again.
Yet --
here he sits
beside me
beaming from ear
to ear.
And ... release.

The night was right it ended wrong
Heard something that hit a nerve be strong
No more self destruction cope with the pain
Good memories drown out not much to gain
Trusting the wrong want to believe it ends right
You can leave won't be around forever
Eventually say whatever find the confidence to start over
Not settling for less all I want is the best
I'm not perfect but want to be close to doing so
Lots of personal growth seeking closure
Hurting find the power within to forgive
I don't want to give up sometime you have to move on
Tears of relief and new beginings just believe
Don't blame yourself its not you
Sometimes lies are mistaken for the truth

Last night I had a dream
so to see if it were true,
this morning when I woke
I almost telephoned you.

My fingers knew the number,
but my heart forgot the words..
so when you answered and asked who it was,
silence was all you heard.

Sometimes I wish that you were here
to make my dreams more real
but then I remember all of the pain
that you always made me feel.

I guess it is for the better
that we are still apart
I thought my mind had accepted that
until in my dream, again, you broke my heart.

Sweetie,
I will always kiss
you like we're the only
two people on this rock.

Please, Love,
bring me closer
Let me explore you
let my kisses
make a map of you

Oh Darling,
please wrap
your arms around
me and never let go
Embrace me
taste me
place your legs around me

Whisper things
secret things
special things
for us to share
I want your soft
syllables to carry
through the dark
and send chills down my spine

Brand your words on my heart
singe my skin
leave bruises and scratches
so I can look at them
and think back to you
and the time we spent
during the night

Please don't let go.

I must have read her poem
five-thousand times
and oh God
how I wish
those words
were reality

To me it feels like a worm
Wiggling its way
Through my bloodstream,
Making it icy and cold
And my heart turn
To frigid emotion.

It makes its way into my
Mind,
Slowing the thoughts
In some parts,
But giving the other parts,
The nervous parts,
The parts that hyperventilate
And have panic attacks,
Caffiene.

Breathing gets hard
Because
I'm underwater,
Or underground.
Buried alive,
Or sinking slowly.

I.
Can't.
Breathe.

The worm,
The worst part about the worm?
It feeds on my life.

I hate that you're depressed
because
you are so
beautiful.

I do love you,
even if
we just met.

You are perfect.
Those scars on your
thighs
are
destroying
you.

I hate how it
Poisons your
Bloodstream,
Making you cut open
your skin
in ribbons.

Stop

Please stop.

Pain

I stand out in the rain,
Hoping it washes away all the pain.
From my head to my toes,
Why do I hurt?
Nobody knows.

I’ve been to over 25 doctors,
And each time I leave,
A new prescription for pills,
None of which are right for me.

I’ve been to the ER so many times they know me by name,
They say, Hey Savannah what’s up? and What’s wrong today?

I’ve been told It’s all in your head,
But why would I possibly want to stay in bed?
It hurts not to know what’s happening to me,
I  just want to know what this could possibly be.

The kids at school say I just want attention,
The pain is real why can't they see,
But what hurts the most is knowing,
Your friends and family agree.

I don’t think this battle is worth fighting,
My life is so unexciting.
I just want to die,
So to everyone in the world I say goodbye.

Goodbye to all my haters,
Goodbye to all this disdain,
Goodbye to this ****** world,
And most importantly goodbye to all my pain!
