TremorsThe sight of blood,
The smell of blood
Sends tremors through my body.

I cannot tell
If I'm delighted
Or scared.

I just stare at the blood,
The blood that I spilled,
And shiver.

Forgive and ForgetRemember when we laughed together?
Remember when we told each other secrets?

What happened to those days?
Were they swept away in a blizzard
Or maybe flooded in a storm?

We all make mistakes.
Some are big,
Some are small,
But they can all be fixed.

Simple things can fix it,
You don't need duct tape,
Not even a leprechaun or unicorn.

All we need is a smile,
Something that starts us over
And lets us try again.

Lets just forgive and forget.

I Broke My Promise:I Love YouI promised myself.
[I broke my promise.]
I never thought I'd meet someone like you.
[Someone who cared for me.]
You showed me friendship.
[You taught me trust.]
You reminded me how to laugh.
[I had forgotten how.]
You gave me a shoulder to cry on.
[I finally shed those endless tears.]
When I shivered in fright, you would hold me.
[When I'm with you, I'm not as scared.]
You were always there for me no matter what.
[I've come to love you.]

Life Needs A Replay ButtonIf life had a replay button,
I would abuse it.
I would press back,
Back,
Back.

Back to before I was born.

You're The...You're the sugar
To my ice cream.

You're the blue
To my sky.

You're the bud
To my flower.

You're the ink
To my pen.

You're the paper
To my book.

You're the...

Wait.

Did I say all that?

I meant to say:

You're the poison
To my apple.

Those Simple Little WordsMy heart was broken,
Shattered on the floor.
I thought it couldn't
Be put back together.
That it would be forever broken,
And lay there like shards of glass.
But those simple words
That your whispered in my ear
Picked my heart up
And I handed it to you.
Because those simple words were

I
Love
You.

You're EverythingYour fingertips
Are like feathers
Tickling my skin.

I cock my head
Inviting you closer,
For a dandelion kiss.

Your lips are soft while teeth scrape
Like rose buds
On a stem with thorns.

You hair's a stream,
Soft and lazy,
But with a mind of it's own.

It brushes against my chin
As you lightly nibble
My collarbone.

A moan escapes my throat
As you push me down,
Holding me against your chest.

Your shimmering, emerald eyes
Look to me for approval
As your breath warms my cheeks.

A smile graces your lips,
Your quirky, lovable smile
That I love so much.

MaskShe wears long, baggy clothes
Because she says they're comfortable.

But roll up her sleeves
And you'll see nothing
But cuts and bruises.

TrustTrust.
It's something earned,
Not given.

It's like an ember of my heart,
Placed inside yours
To hold and protect.

Extinguishing it or throwing it away
Will break our bond,
It may never be repaired.

Don't try to steal an ember,
For it's not rightfully yours
Until I personally place it in your chest.

Once it's there,
It grows and strengthens
Until it's a fire.

A fire of trust
That can't be extinguished
That can't be thrown out.

It will always be there,
Linking me to you.

Why?What's wrong?
Why are you so different?
Your touch is cold,
Your lips are cold,
Your eyes are cold.

You look at me,
But you don't see me.
You look beyond me,
Like there's something there.

Why are you so cold?
Why are you not touching me?
Why are you dead?

Never Far ApartButterfly kisses on my neck
Hands dancing down my spine
Laughs bubbling in our kisses
Fingers weaving into my hair
Nips on my ears
Skin damp against skin
Heartbeats fluttering together

I Want To, But I Can'tI want to believe you
When you say you'll always be there.

I want to trust you
When you say that you'll be back.

I want to know
That I can leave my heart with you.

But I can't.

You've broken it once,
And I don't believe in second chances.

No Matter How ManyNo matter how many
Tears,
Heartbreaks,
Fights,
Stumbles,
Disconnections,
I'll never stop loving you.

KissesI kiss you,
You kiss me back.
And I know everything
Is going to be alright.

Promise Not To Break MeI want to give you everything.
My heart,
My body,
My soul.
Just promise not to break them.

I Love HimHis rare smile's like the sun,
Blinding those around him.

His eyes are like emeralds,
Twinkling with silent laughter.

His hair's like silk,
Soft to run my hands through.

His arms are like stone,
Protective and loving.

His laughter's like music,
Making my heart dance to its own beat.

His mouth's like a rose,
Biting me for cries of bliss,
Or touching me softly for moans.

LeaveThisStarCrossedWorldBehinSlit my wrist,
Blood runs free.
I wait for death
To claim me as his own.
Waiting calmly,
I don't feel a thing,
I shut my eyes
And count to three.

When I open them
Everything is white.
But I'm not in heaven.
I'm still alive
With an IV in my arm
And a boy crying at my side.

I hadn't just cut myself.
I had cut him too.
And when I saw him
By my side
I guess I changed my mind.

Ms. BrightsideI never knew that one kiss
Could change me so.
I can't unsee
His love for that girl
No matter how much
I pretend I never saw it.

He acts like everything
Is the way it's supposed to be.
Like he doesn't know
How much I'm hurting inside.

I try to look away,
Go back to the way things were
When we were just friends
Because it's all just in my head
It never really happened.

He never really kissed that girl,
He never really whispered love in her ear,
He never really touched her that way.
It's all in my head.
Please... Let me go.

EL SOMBREROThere once was a man who lived in a hut. His name was Thanatos. He collected an assortment of things, but his most prized collection was his hat collection. Thanatos would often just stare of his hat collection in awe, take outstanding care of them, brush off the dust that would fall on them, and would never ever wear them because, then, he might get hair on them, dry skin or head lice.

One day he went out to town to further expand his collections which were threatening to spill out of his small adobe and had already taken his bed. He now had to sleep by standing upright in the corner of the room, and that wasn't very comfortable, to say

I Have A FearI have fears,
As does everyone else.
Fears that eat at my insides
And crawl through my head like worms.

Thunder crashes outside in the storm
But I'm in the closet crying.
I don't want to remember
That day of the storm
When my brother died.

A fire is burning
It's out of control.
People are screaming in anguish.
They're inside,
Burning alive,
But I'm too scared to help them.
I don't want to remember
That day of the fire
When my parents died.

I have fears,
As does everyone else.
Fears that eat at my insides
And crawl through my head like worms.

But my biggest fear
Is my fear of losing you.

YourEyesAreLikeAcidOnMySkinTheir beady little eyes.
They're always ridiculing me,
They're always belittling me,
They're always putting me down.
I hate those eyes.
You think I don't notice them.
That I'm stupid,
That I'm incompetent.
But I feel your eyes on me.
They're like acid on my skin.
I've had enough
Of this waking torment.
If I rip them from their sockets
Then those beady little eyes
Can judge me no more.

I'm Not the Same

I used to laugh openly,
I used to cry in someone's arms,
I used to smile at jokes,
I used to love people,
I used to care,
I used to be human,
But I'm not the same as I was, then.

I really like this poem because I feel like I can relate...
I am no longer that selfish, carefree, naive, and pure girl I once was. Ok maybe I'm still pretty pure, but not as pure as I was before. T __ T
