I hope you never meet anyone as messed up as me.
Good luck in life, I hope yours is sweeter than mine.
I'll just stay here, with my friends:
Anxiety, Depression and Mr. Pity Party.

Invisble Tears
Lexie May 2014
Oh silent wet and milky wash
Running down a glassy face
Doll like features and cold lips
Gently dropped by God's hand
A gift of rain to tomorrow sunshine
Little rivers winding through
Tell me I can still live without you
A poets remorse and empty words
The thoughts he said but no one heard
Could you just listen to a humble story
Could you just watch me cry
My invisible tears and speak silent words
Read my lips and kiss my cheeks
Red. Tears. A potent brew
But is it enough to sting you
Like a shaft from a bow
Like an arrow you pierce my soul
Like a stone from a sling
You leave me to fall
In empty shallow waters
Drowning in but a few inches of sea
Invisible tears on steel cheeks
Rusting as I start to weep

Memory Lane
Lexie Apr 2018
I held my heart on the tip of my thumb
And then I held my breath
As I hit send and my heart went careening across the keys into your phone
Do your eyes light up from the screen, the way my heart does when you call me?
I hope you know how to swim
Because I could of drowned you in words even though I cannot find them on the tip of my tongue
They catch in my throat and pour out my fingers like a glass knocked over on a table
My feet stop in their tracks as another memory pinballs through my head
It ricochets like a hundred bats flying in a cave
**** I miss you.
I could pour myself out to you like a pitcher
But I swallow my thoughts and they leave a bad taste in my mouth
I miss the taste of your kisses, so sweet and gentle, though a bit salty
Salty like the ocean and every bit as wet and wild as the water
'You are a fool' I tell myself
To stay awake dreaming when you could be sleeping instead

Fire
Lexie Jan 2014
I wake each morning from my bed
Trying to subdue the pain in my head

I hold my wrist that does still burn
Will I ever learn

The fire is always stronger
The pain is always longer

The flames reach for my soul
Leaving a burning smoking hole

I cant control this flame
It hurts more than the sting of a cane

In a world all its own
In a world all alone

The fire has its own will
Against a voice small and shrill

It smokes and screams
Against the demons

It is a dark force that still shines bright
A force that haunts me through the night

Burning It Down
Lexie Jan 2016
You breathed, the smoke of your soul, into my unburnt lungs

2. I could not help but notice the contrast of my moon pale skin, against the dark of the midnight green grass.

3. As my barefoot feet, carried my caged and broken heart, to the dying embers of fire, burning within you.

4. I know not why it burns so close to this earth, or so near to my heart. Is it because you cannot bear to awaken the night sky?

5.With so much smoke it would burn, you could not sustain it.

6. Either way it is intriguing and beautiful to watch, with my midnight blue eyes.

7. I kissed your cooling embers back to life. I did not expect the charcoal on your lips, to thrive in my lungs, and burn in my eyes.

8. Yet I would not have it any other way. No reason to stop, and every to continue.

9. Burns, burn. Scars, fade. But your fire it eternal.

10. Safe it would be, to turn back. Yet I chose to walk the coals. To leave my mark in freshly fallen snow. To hold you close, and never let go.

11. I would press my heart into your hands, for you to warm it. We could own the night, and walk the moon.

12.Every sunrise coming much to soon. Yet we wait, for the light to break over the horizon.

13. I thought you would always be mine forever, but who was I to think I could take the flame, the heat, and the fire. The fire, that thrives between the layers of your dark skin.

14. Like melting wax and burning paper we danced. So bright, to soon, never strong enough to last.

15. As skinny as the ink coating these pages, paper to cover in sketches, stars, and still wet tears.

16. Twenty six sheets of life to live between. On bed and books you leave your burns.

17. Forever you burn.

18.I wanna rock it all night. Smoke child. Will you rock it out with me?

19. I beg you to speak! And fill me with your storms!

20. Raise me up, as high as your flames.

21. We dance, we light everything within reach, I'd be crazy if I didn't burn for you.

22.Am I enough to kindle, against your dark flame? To make you want to burn brighter.

23. Who are we? To challenge the light of the sun.

24.To rise in the night and never fade to black. To kiss the never look back. To run forever and never lose track.

25. Scorched by trial and charred by sweet lies.

26. I want to know would it burn as much.

27. If I saw the sparks in your eyes.

28. Skate the world

29. Hand in hand.

30. Dance in flame, like we planned.

Lexie Jul 2018
I think in a way our words read us, just as much as we read them

It would be as if our souls looked into a mirror, and nodded, saying, "this is understanding myself, this is knowing other people"

And maybe that is how our hearts see the stars, and taste a kiss, through the mutterings over our mind, overgrown into pages and poems
Thank you for reading this, bless you and your words.

Eleven Fourty-Three PM
Lexie Sep 2018
I can go back years in my mind
And still that changes nothing for today
What is done is dead
But not yet buried
This grave tempts me to lie in it
And my weariness coaxes me along
A few tears are running, silently, down my cheeks
The darkness, she always cries with me
New sheets do naught for old dreams
And new lovers do nothing for old scars
This girl, who runs on sand and streets alike
If you chased her,
And caught her,
She would wind you like a thread around her finger,
And tell you all the secrets of the world
Her heart is cleaved in half
She felt the breaking.
Yet somehow she is put together just so,
Just so, perfectly
The ground she lays upon is cold
Her nails scratch against the tombstones as she rises
Likewise, the sun is climbing her way into the morning
We will bury this night with shovels full of dirt
Enough has been said while the moon is full
To be silent for today
Enough has been said for tomorrow
To be silent today
It is late
But just early enough to remember a few heartbreaks

That Boy
Lexie May 2014
In my purse I have a picture
Of my little sister
She was so sweet an innocent
I imagine my Mom has a picture of me
That looks like I am innocent to
But that would be a lie
Of a false kind
Because I know this world
And the secrets that it hides
Not so long ago
I met a boy
Who was the first
Not to treat me like a toy
He placed my heart in cage
So it would not shatter
Building up the walls of a castle
So we could play inside
He made me feel safe
Like a warm hug
And I knew that God has sent him
From his kingdom above
I loved this boy
And he loved me
But love isn't anything like they make it out to be
Its a lot harder to love than I thought
But its all worth it
We never gave up
Through thick or thin
And when he knocked on my door
I always let him in
I told him my secrets
And how to calm my heart
And he held it in his hands
So it wouldn't fall apart
He never let me go
And never let me fall
And to this day I love him
Even though he drives me up the walls

Touch
Lexie Apr 2019
When I touched my face
It was not the same as when I touched yours
I could not wipe the tiredness from my eyes
In the same gentle motion aa I finger walked every crevice of your skin
With you, it is about the journey and the destination
Every mile is made into memories with you
When my mind forgets my fingers will remember

Quiet
Lexie Dec 2017
She is quiet
In all but her thoughts
Still in part it seems a curse
Do have a lame mouth
Paired with a mind that runs
A mile every minute

This still is why
She is so weary at heart
Though she dare not move
Or even rise in the morning
Though in her solitary mind
She has already encompassed
Every hardship in the world

Seperation
Lexie Jan 2014
Waiting for dawn to break the sky
Waiting for truth to fight the lie

Kissing someone you love goodbye

Pain and longing to see that face
To find where you belong a special place

You may be alone
But you are the one that chose to leave me

I want you back but if you'd ask I'd say no
I had to learn to let you go

Its not easy saying goodbye
But better than believing your lie

I don't think your love is worth a second try
I'd rather be alone and die

Bricks
Lexie Jun 2015
Could I build a poem like a brick house?
Held together with black and white emotions
Versus mortar, though some be just as hard

Could I stack them on top of each other?
Or would they not be strong enough
Would they break, or could they hold?

Could they blend together to make a beautiful picture?
Or be so obscure and obscene they would crumble
Would you find it beautiful?

Could you even understand?

The Names
Lexie Jan 2014
I have many names
Some are real some are fake

Some made up and some hurtful
Some to tell me they think I'm beautiful

I hear them all the time
Each and every day

Who knows when another will pass my way

I don't always know what to think
And never what to say

But I think I want more nicknames anyway

I repeat them in the dark
And think I now them all

Until someone tells me I haven't learned them all

I know some are sweet
But some make me sad

But I know the bullies try to just make me made

My Mom calls me nice
My Dad says everyone comes with a price

My friends say I am crazy
And my parents call me lazy

I know I'm just scared
Even though I'm shielded in confidence

I just want to know
What would I call myself?

Breakers
Lexie Feb 2014
You pile high the hearts you stole
Will you ever reach your goal
The stack that stretch to the sky
Reaching endless miles high

You look airbrushed all to fake
But its my heart you intend to break
Does this some how satisfy your soul
How does make you feel whole

The memories drawn across your face
Will I soon take my place
I don't want to be another ended line
But if its destiny it will be my time

You break and bend rules of all kinds
And you are not trapped by an expanse of time
Only confined by your master
He bids you works faster

The scars on your back are your own doing
But I shall be your undoing
You know not of the dens in the dark
I sound my call whence sings the lark

A song unbidden to human ears
This will reunite you with your fears
Flood gates shall open on heaven and earth
And you shall be given your pitiful worth

The signs at the fork in the road
The waves against the shore seeking to erode
You shall be washed from heart and mind
I shall but take my time

The craggy cliffs unreachable
The sand on the shore unbleachable
A word that does not fade on my lips
The stories lost between trips

A kiss that you seek to devour
But you must wait for the right hour
A trap set with you as bait
I hide in the shadows and I wait

No trick of fools to be wasted on you
I have thought my vile plan through
When the you the Breaker plan to break me
I will not hide I will let you see

But when you traps you set for me in vain
I shall then cause you more pain
The eye is on you watching closely
And blames shoulders sets on my solely

When my life you though you could steal
But you are left with nothing to feel
When reality hits you in the face
And you are lost in outer space

The Breakers rise out of earth crust
Brought forth by vile lust
But I am the will of all power
Bringing forth your ending hour

Sun Dance
Lexie Oct 2015
like a goodmorning kiss
you embrace the horizon
your golden fingers reach out
ready to dive-in

you wash the fields
in your golden essence
and all who awaken
embrace your presence

slowly you rise up
to fill these empty skies
and I lift my slumberer's head
to look you in the eyes

so many times before
have we begun this dance
each time, again I stay
so not to miss a chance

the melody of your rays
slowly claim their place
you are much to bright
for me to see your face

a bright and blinding beauty
I could never  dare to atain
it is enough to sense your presence
I beg that you remain

bound to the sky
by an immortal chain
my Light, I know your dance
will never be in vain

I could never wish to tame
the passion beneath your skin
for I would only be burned
if you ever let me in

to touch, would mean an end
so I would never dare
I resign to my humble hope
that you could even care

you leave me alone
with the promise of a dream
but I have been told
things are not as they seem

until the next moring
my soul and heart shall yearn
only one deity can rule the sky
each must take their turn

I shall retain my nights
for my nights are mine alone
yet as a gift, I give you my days
for my days are yours to own

if I asked you sweetly
would you dare to let me run
the skies you've always owned
the skies of the morning sun

I stand so breathlessly
at the sight of you
veiled in this moring
and shrouded in the dew

I want to walk beside you
tracing every single step
following each and everyone
until none of them are left

none could compare
to your sweet light
but still you hide it
in the coolness of the night

you blush bright at dawn
like a gentle  maiden's cheek
my friend, on your endless journey
I hope you find what you seek

you never look back
to the places you have been
you will always dance
to the heavens - and back again

They follow me
In life and on twitter

They call themselves my fans
But they are the ones that ******* away

They me to write my name over and over again
Using napkin, paper, pencil and pen

The cameras flash
And the people cheer

And I wonder how did I get here?
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?

I like the attention but I need time for me to
I don't like always pushing through

The crowds are always there
They keep me hemmed in
They stand behind the ropes
Hands reaching for my body

I stand and smile they cheer and wave
I feel like I'm drowning pulled under by a wave

Emotions
Lexie Aug 2015
No words more honest
Than those that fall
Unbidden from my lips

To a harsh gown of thorns
That encompass the earth
Judged and torn apart

By a one of a nobler birth
Could I compete?
Would I dare to be so harsh?

My sheets thinner
Than the water you drink
Did you catch me

Just to throw me back
Over the brink
Like an arrow

On fire at night
I would blaze out
Into endless night

You can not call me back
But yet I may return
Born and burn and beautiful

Like every other life
Not any brighter
Than you existence

Not any higher
For an resistance
To fight and lose

Or die and win
To make the battles
For you to win

You kisses un-gentled
You scent so torn
Between heaven and earth

All these scars were born
To travel up and down your limbs
Seeking for a harder way

To get within
To thrive under you skin
As thin as paper

To kiss you lips now
And taste it later
Like sweat on your brow

And the blood in your veins
I traveled around
Yet am hard to be found

As desirable as leaves
In a much to harsh breeze
Grown from the ground

Reaching for a sky
That sings and flies
And will ever fake to die

Dark clouds and burnt skies
More and less than butterflies
To not find your rainbow

Or be your sunshine
But to be yours
And you to be mine

A looking glass
You can never clean
Like double lenses

I am trapped between
Caught to a mortal form
Bound by your emotions

Would you release me
Don't just let me go
Push me away

No one will ever know
They are to absorbed
In their own laces

They never looked beyond
To see other beautiful faces
To trace the lines of your soul

To care if you were part of whole
To extend a hand
And grasp another

I found a hold
Hold  me close
Tight as a knot

I was neither given nor bought
Just an exchange
Don't let us trade hearts

For you would lose yours
But I will give you mine
So you can bind it inside

Right next to your heart
It will learn to thrive
It will never be lost

And never quite whole
But at least it will live
Next to your soul

Warmer than the cold
And as faded as dawn
Keep me inside

Or let me move on
To say goodbye
To lovers and friends

So ubruptly it ends
And I never knew when
So say goodbye

I never knew
It would be our last kiss
Was it something you needed

Or just something you missed
You can't press me
Between dictionary pages

For when the storms come
Its my temper that rages
Bound by paper

In handcuffs of ink
And when I begin to drown
Its you who lets me skin

Closer than kin
Thicker than water
You stole my father's daughter

She let you come in
But locked the door behind
So whatever happened

The lock would always remind
You of whispers
Hidden oak

To weave them inside
A memory cloak
What is found is found
And what is broke is a joke

I don’t want you to see me like this
I don’t want to experience it, first hand, either
I cannot change it
I am vulnerable
And it has not bode well for me before
Lexie May 2018
I am yours in memory
And I am willfully bound inside
Every kiss that you bestow
Upon the top of my head,
nestled into my hair
On the sides of my face,
and my forehead
Pressed to the back of my hand,
and placed in my heart,
with all of your love

I feel a fool and I do not care
I would taste each day in a bite, as long as it tastes of you
This is a dream and you are my sleep
You give me rest and helpfulness
It swells in my chest
And bubbles out of my mouth
Like a brook swelling in Spring

**** these hands that they would ever let you go
Curse these eyes if they would ever look away
I cling to you like the edge of a cliff
I look to you like the sun on the horizon

Would the birds let me join their song in the quiet of the sun rising in the morning to scatter darkness and dew alike from the skirts of the earth

Would the stars give me but two twinkles, each for an eye so that when I look at you, you can see the lightness of my heart dripping out my eyes

Would the moon bathe me in dreams and fill your head with all the beautiful thoughts of you I hold in my heart

Would you love me for every day that I love you because then we will never run out, like water roaring over the falls to chase the rocks down the stream

I see you in the world, and I hope you can find me in your heart

You tried to make it about yourself
Saying that I was attacking you
But I didn't even call you names
How could you be so selfish

You tried to make it about me
Saying that I was throwing a hissy fit
But I didn't even victimise myself
How could you be so blind

You tried to make me feel crazy
Saying that it was all in my head
But the proof was in the paper
How could you be such a fool

It was about their safety
Big no matter what I said
You invalidated every word
My entire childhood a lie

Sisters, I could not love them more
My trust in you, could not be so lacking
My heart, broken with your response

It's not about me
And it's not about him
It's not about them
And it's not about you

It's about saying the right thing
And doing the right thing
No matter who you are
No matter what you face

But still you chose
To punish the victim
Not the assailant

Chalk lines, drawn by children
Voices from the school yard
Dogs bark, you run
Feet pound pavement hard
Barefoot toes, wind blown hair
Sharp glass on the ground
Careless when I step
Careful not to make a sound
You chase me, like prey
Trying not to trip
I run fast, get away
I must be silent and never slip
Your hands rough around my waist
Cauaught in your trap
Rest your hand on my shoulder
I can't look back
Choking on the tears
My throat constricts
You ask me questions
I merely nod
Pull me away from my safe place
To your home so desolate
I am gone without a trace
I lay in the leaves of this falls birth
Seeing only the red stained leaves
Trying not to panic for all I'm worth
Don't run or hide, stay alive
I can't wait for it to end
What will you do
What will the darkness send
Uncertain future, my demise
A chase after a valued prize
I could see the lies
Beside the evil in your eyes

Slipping out of God Mode
Lexie Jul 2019
I couldn't tell you
What time
I woke up this morning
Sweating, scared
Am I blind
Is a mask
Slipping over my eyes
I don't know
If my heartbeat is fast
Or beating at all
The smell of flesh
Burning underneath my nose

I hum
When I need to calm myself down
Am I panicking now
Where am I
The back of my throat, dry
Skin beneath my eyes, wet

Eyes, sweating
Pores, crying
Breathe into me
Bring me above water

I throw my sheets off
Thinking I'm tangled
In thoughts
Blankets

There is a man
Next to me
Is this a dream too
A barrier
Of bones
A continent
Between me
And the rest of the world
Oceans of confusion
I cannot bridge

I cannot stomach this dream
It bit into me
A cannibal, feasting
Wishing to devour
Eat me up
Drink me down
With a thousand year hunger

I hum
Voice shaking
As much as my hands

I grab the back of your shirt
Afraid of slipping
Back into the dreamscape
I smell burning flesh
Hair
Sins I am not sure
Are my own

Will I attone for them
I hold no ground here
Between chasms
No charm
For serpent tongued liars
No bribe
For master cohorts
Who smile
At the face of death
The face
Of a dear friend

I was younger
Before this dream
Nightmares cost years
I turn my pockets inside out
Nickles and dimes
For Cerberus
Death will make me her *****

Did I make this
In my own head
Questioning sanity
Bring the rod down
On my knuckles
Who will answer
At the stand
Under oath
Skeleton judges
Don't care for lies

I was dreaming
Deep
Sinking deeper
In a black river

Cutting tiger stripes
Into a cat
With burning talons
Searing sins
Into flesh
Instead of feathers
Hair
Instead of candle wicks
Who am I

Humming

I am no bird

Did I do this
Did I watch
How unordained

My body a temple
I a devout sinner
Priests and saints
Baptize me in their water
I find myself no cleaner
Than ashes
Sprinkled
In the wind
An unholy adornment

I hum

Am I deserving of comfort
Do my knees bend
My lips
Remember prayer

I hum
Under the water
It's boiling
Is this hell
Am I evil
Am I wrong
Will I burn

I hum

I am not God
All I can say is I had the weirdest ******* dream.

Life Begins

Birthed into a world
Of sin and of pain
Given a mark
Given a name

My life began
Made in a womb
I shall live my life
Then be hid in a tomb

My life goes on
I sing a lonely song
I walk on earth
And watch the sky
I seek the answers
But deny what I find

My starts at the beginning of a road
Not knowing where it goes
Just following where the wind blows
I walk this street this is the path I choose

Where it goes only God knows
I don't see the signs
And the stars in a straight line
Only seeing details much to fine
And the sun when it shines

My life begins
I know now when it ends
I will reach the top
And then there I will stop
Seeking yearning to know my purpose
Wanting to know if its all worth it

Burdens
Lexie Jan 2014
A child shivers in the cold
Watching the fire inside

A daughter with a broken heart
Stays far away from comfort

A son with wounded pride
Seeks no comfort from his bride

A mother watches her children hurt
Wanting to draw them close to heart

A father with many a child
Not knowing which is hurting more

A God in the sky watching his people
Seeing the pain and saying 'asking and it shall be given unto you'
'knock and the gates shall be opened'

Don't you run and don't you hide
From the Lord in the skies

Listen
Lexie Jan 2014
I talk I try to be loud
I cant interrupt they will think I am rude

I try to speak to choke back the shyness
But I cant be anything but afraid

I close my lips and I shut my eyes
And I wish in my heart to not be scared

I walk close to the waves but am kept to the shore
I shut every open questioning door

I see the light but I don't reach for it
I flip the switch and ignore it

I know I can do it
But I choose not to try

I'd rather sit here and let the time pass bye
I'd rather live a lie than have the attention

I'd rather be afraid
Than have my name be mentioned

I want to talk I want to ask
But I sit in silence with my mind off track

Purple Lightning
Lexie Jan 2016
Glide to the center
In your ghostly form
I could walk right through you
Like a wraith

It was a deeper shade
Than all the purples, all the purples before
They snuck in the edges
Of my vision

Like the sun
Setting into dark
They filled the abyss
With their chaos and color

If I was the lightning
Reflected in your eyes
I would be content
For I would always be with you

You crackle with electricity
But everywhere on this earth I touch
Turns to fire and ash
I dare not make you shine

For if I did
The world would burn
Into ashes and memories
And the tallest trees would crumble

You don't have a clue
How storms are made
Like your temper
They rise and fall

And like your dreams
They fade
Into a distant memory
A cold past

Every time I hear it
My spine shudders in recognition
My shoulders tighten like a rope
And I spark

Down the wires
I dance so merrily
Into your home, and heart
Through the walls I course

Nothing, but trouble and beauty
Like ice and salt I burn
When crushed in your hand.
A challenge.

You provoked me
Into the night and its darkness
I will return
In tenfold of clouds

And rain down
Until I reign!
You pull the reigns
And my tears rain

Like a bit in my mouth
These words are so sharp
I spit them out
And they foam

Like a rabid monster
I bit your heart
I wormed inside
And found my own way out

The small of my back
Damp with the sweat of my fear
The whole world
Thinking I am a star

I shine brighter
But not for you
Like a diamond on your hand
That you can't hold

But I found my courage at the bottom:
The bottom of the glass
The bottoms of the chasm
The bottom of your heart

I walked many halls
And the keys of your piano-forte
And then I fell
Like a crescendo

Black and white
I saw stars
Blue and purple
Around my eyes

They serve as a reminder
On my wrist
In your letters.
And every day

We don't forget
We just don't remember
Less and less
Until it's gone

When it's wrong its allowed
But we wouldn't say it out loud
So loud I couldn't hear
Until I got it out

We try to make it right
Wouldn't take what's left
Scared of what's behind
And the future much to near

So comfortable with the chaos
We hate it, until it's lost
I wanted so hard to find it
When that time came, you had changed

Your tentacles reach
And sting my skin
The lightning bites back
But it's to cold

Cold in my head
I can't shake out
Like a snow globe
With a pounding melody

I'm the wild one
With the blue eyes
With the knife
And the disguise

A mask of emotions
Ripped away
And the anger crackles forth
And wraps the earth in fingers of light

Go to sleep
With a solid belief
That love doesn't exist.
Awakened to a reality,

Where it was here
But it is destroyed
I know I had it
Now it's gone

It left it's mark
Like a hammer in my heart
And it got stuck
It wouldn't get out

I bite into the truth
And the regret trickles down my throat
The taste to bitter
To swallow

I checked
Every three minutes
For a new way to survive
But my patience wore thin

If you had a heart attack
I could jump you back to life
Rub my hands together
And dissipate the fates

But I do not think the fates
Would meddle with something as black as your heart
Like chalk on a white wall
You drew me in

And spit me out
Like you had swallowed fire
But I was already in your veins
Racing for your heart

Is Aoibhinn Liom Tú
Lexie Apr 2019
An elder tongue once told me, you are my delight
The island knew, for the earth never forgets
My own tongue found herself ******* in knots
Will I find these shores again
The isle of the blest
A cathedral for souls, still fighting without breath
The ale will speak, through the mouth of a drunken fool
You wait, on deity foresaken shores, for a mist that will never rise
The sand knows more than you, yet the salt water draws it out beyond hearing
The monsters in the loch sing prayers so ancient your tongue would tremble at the rasp of their words
Will you take your chances with a ******* son of the gods
Singing a gaelic hymn for the nords
Is your thirst quenched by hel fire in the fjords
The old country knows you, to her you shall return
To look in her eyes, inlet of wisdom
Her emerald secrets stare back at you
The cairns of the kelts are sturdy still
Will the faeries bless you
It is a fool's blessing too
Feather your tongue, so your words find flight
This is irish magic, kept in the stars at night
The title translates from Gaelic meaning, you delight me.

Cruel
Lexie Aug 2022
You knew I would never be evil
Never be cruel to you
What you did not know
Is that once you are evil to me
Once you are cruel
I will never allow
You the opportunity to do it again
There is strength in my silence
When I find weakness in your words

Tea
Lexie May 2019
Tea
I brewed tea
Just to let my tears
Sit in the mug on the windowsill
The cool outside air
Stealing my cold inside thoughts
