Poetry




Slide
Slip on in
Beneath my skin
Slide inside
I have nothing to hide
I would let you know me
Know me completely
if you would just call
I'd show you all
I like your hands
I like your smile
I like the words you speak
I like the things you say
Those things slide inside
You give yourself away
You have kind eyes
and a broken heart
But so do I
That's where we can start
help each other heal
Sliding down into Something new
Soft and alone
me and you
I am not well
But not really sick
Something is just a little off kilter in me
My soul is askew
I see beauty in you
I see blue skies and fields of violets
I feel springs first bloom in your spirit
I see great art
if i had one wish
Its my life i want you to be a part
I saw you yesterday
All alone
But you aren't alone
She has you on a short leash
I don't think you are free
I'd never chain you
Like a dog
Just to keep you with me
Love is freedom
Love is trust
Love is passion
not just lust
I would hold you
when you needed to cry
I would laugh with you
Talk with you through the night
I would be your strength when you are weak
I would make sense out of your confusion
I'd never use you
I'd never refuse you
Love is giving of yourself
Its compromise
Love is what i feel when i look into your eyes

Forgive me
Can you forgive me for my impetuous ways?
Can you forgive me for my compulsive devises
That leave me reaching out to touch you too often
In the only way i know how.
with my words and my heart
Will you forgive me for being messed up
Will you accept me anyway?
If i show you myself will you run away
or will you come to like me?
Can you taste the heartache i feel?
Can you feel my pain?
I wish that you could and then you'd understand
Why i want you so
Forgive me for my heart
But it wants what it wants
You could fit into me perfectly
Mind, soul and heart

Shelter
Lying in the grass
The rain pours down on me
I have no thoughts of running inside for shelter
With lightening overhead
And thunder banging in my head
I just lie there and i wonder
Why do we run inside when it rains
We are already wet anyway
Why not just stay outside and dance a little while
Enjoy the shower and smile
So many people think that i am clearly insane
Obsessive, and weird
But, they mistake me because of my pain
See no one ever sheltered me from all of this worlds harms
No one has ever loved me and took me in their arms
A whipping girl it seems i was born to be
NO one ever looks deep enough to see the heart of me
No one sees me.
As i lay inside the rain
letting the skies wash me clean and sooth a little pain
When i lay here i begin to dream of you
Imagining you'd kiss me here
Take away my blues
I think that you would shelter me from every storm i face
Stand there beside me supporting me
As i confront all my demons that have whispered in my ear
Killing them with new found courage
Killing all my fear
But i cant do it without you by my side
Alone i am not strong enough
because you could make me whole
Two who become one
The oldest story told.

Lay in Flowers
I am extraordinary
Anything but ordinary
I am weird and wicked
Maybe a little addicted
I am sometimes broken
Always out spoken
I speak with no fear
Sometimes i cry
I don't always know why
When i get down and low
I put on your music and glow
You speak to me
I want to lay in flowers
Dance in rain showers
I want to sing my heart out
Tell the world what I am all about
I especially want to tell you


If
if i met you today
I would take your face into my hand
part my lips
and kiss you
before saying a single word
If we were walking down the street to an old cafe
I would take your hand in mine
looking sweetly into your eyes
not noticing anyone else on the street
The world would just be you and me
if I was alone with you
I would giggle and smile
look at you tenderly
touch your arm lightly
And speak sweet words meant just for you
if you were on my door step
And i opened the door
I would wrap my arms around you
and hold you so close
not even a whisper could slip between us
If you said "i love you"
tears would fall from my eyes
down my cheeks
because those are words that have eluded me
Coming from you would be beautiful
if you were crawl into bed next to me
I would give myself to you
I have only given myself to one before
and he was unworthy
he did not deserve me
But you are worthy
i do not just give myself away
if you shared your passion with me
I know, it would be romance and ecstasy
I know it would be right
fit perfectly you and I
If i told you how i feel
Would you fall to your knees and embrace me
would you shed a tear of joy
or would you run away from me
if i were to touch your hand
Would you know
would you instantly understand who i am and where i have been and where i want to go
And that i want to go there with you and no one else
If i said i would love you til i die
be yours and never stray
Support you in all you do
Stand by your side and always love you
would i be enough?

Decay
Take the sorrow from my hands
Replace it with your kindness
Wipe my tears away
Drink them in
To make them disappear
Hand on skin
Comfort coming freely from you
You put a spark inside me
Now I glow
I smile more
I live more
I push breath out with more fervor
My heart beats louder
Flowers bloom around me
In the dead of winter
Sun shines on my face
Where I once dwelled in darkness
Everything was gray
Feeling nothing
Numb
Life Wasted
Decay

Taste
If you don't want me
That's your loss
You judge me on things that don't matter
it all is going to fade one day
If you would just stop
Close your eyes and listen
Taste me
My spirit, my heart, my soul
You would wrap your arms around me and never let me go
Because, i have passion for life
I love with no condition
I forgive easily
But, i still kick butt when needed
You reject me
but, you should know
I am working hard on the thing you rejected
Soon my outside will match my inside
And you will live in regret
Because, i will not let you taste me
Though you will long to drink me in
I will construct walls
too high for you to climb
With your little mind
Your shallow ways
And i will leave you laying in the dust
With nothing but regrets in your hands

My Muse
I strike the match
The sulpher floats up and burns my nostrils
Embers rise into my hair.
I light the candle
turn off the lights
and i wait.
Wait for the warm to come
I close my eyes
My head leans back
and i am waiting for you
to enter the room
to enter my mind
your words penetrate me
pierce my heart
and work their way into all its crevices
their fingers expand
and wrap themselves around anything solid
I can feel those words from my mind
through my body
deep into my toes
permeating every ounce of me
every inch of flesh
every blood cell
into my bone
until you become a part of me
an endless feeling of being embraced by your arms
All by your words
you and i have never occupied the same space
never touched
never spoke
You live thousands of miles away
and do not even know i exist.
but your words come into me
float inside me
on a sweet melody
and they change me
They make me want to be more
Live more
You took the suffering from my hand
and replaced it with a fire
it burns inside me
but does not consume
It amps me up
gets me high
it feels like you are there beside me
gentle encouragment
Like you are there in spirit
but never in body.
I want to know this man
this man who unlocked me
Who gave birth to me
the real me
the me i tried to murder years ago
She was in a cage
in the dark
barely breathing
You came
you lifted her up in your strong arms
and you brought her out into the light
You gave her food, you gave her water
you gave her breath
And she lives
she writes
She sings
she smiles
she dances
She waits for you by candlelight to come
and feed her soul
Get her creative juices to flow
like a river
wet, drenching all it touches
You saved my life
Without even trying
You don't even know
I love you for it
a pure, sweet love
Not about wine and roses
not about kisses and heavy breathing
Not about hushed whispers under covers
a love i have never felt before for another person
unselfish
unconditional
Empathetic
respect, gratitude
I want to give something back to you
I want to touch your heart
To be something for you
to you
but, i do not have anything to give
except my love, friendship and comfort
Its yours to take if you want it
I have offered it.
So i wait
As the candle burns
and your words work their ways inside me
and i feel a little cold comfort
coupled with the ache in my heart
for not knowing you
It sometimes brings tears
For never going to know you
my sweet, sweet muse

Compromise
It scares me how much i want you
So much i would compromise my beliefs
Just to kiss you, touch you, have you
I know I would just be your next ex-girlfriend
but i don't care
I still want you with all that I am
Not just my body
But my heart and my soul
You feel so perfect
Like a perfect fit
Late at night
When i go to bed
You are there with me
but, only in my head
I compromise myself in that way
You feel
Like home to me.

Me
Big Blue eyes
With a little green
Full lips
perfect shade of pink
naturally
Pale skin
Freckles dot the landscape
hair the color of a changing fall leaf
Kind heart
Worn on the sleeve
Big mind
Always thinking big things
soul filled with color
Free spirited and wild
feels deep
passion and empathy
insecure
living in transition
nothing happening in her life
Dreams of
a soulful kind of love
Strong arms to hold her at night
Give her kisses
that speak of no more loneliness
She has love to give
No one seems to want it
rejection
is a old friend
pain comes
she wonders when that will end
alone
sitting in her cage
pondering all the could be's
waiting
for a good man to set her free
set my heart free
you could need me

Whispers
the pain
that whispers in my ear
and tells me i am worthless and weak and unworthy of love
or a good man....
those old demons,
they like to crawl from their dusty veil and torment me.....
because, to be strong is an affront to them
To see my colors
to be free and alive
is against their design
I hear them at night
Not audible, but there all the same
working their talons into my mind
twisting my head
contorting my vision when i look in the mirror
Seeing black when i look into my heart
Seeing an abyss when i look into my future
Instead of green grass, sunshine and cool breezes
Instead of strong arms wrapped around me
that make me feel safe, with him and in this world
Instead of kisses that warm my flesh and make my heart beat a little faster
face flush, smile on my lips
Whispers that ae lies, but i believe them all the same
Whispers that bring tears, and loneliness
That make me seek out something in someone i do not know and can not know
because i see nothing like it near me now
because it is what i desire in one....one..to love
I look round me and only see empty shells
NO passion, no colors in them
Just grey
So, i turn to one i cant know and see his beautiful colors
that are so much like mine.
Dreaming of creating a palette together
Those whispers encourage that lie
Because in the end it hurts
Knowing our colors will never mix
we will never create a work of art together
So whose demons whisper about how i am ugly
How i am weird and no one wants me and never will
They speak to me about how disgusting my body is
How no man could look at me with anything but contempt
and a sick look on their face
Lies i always believe, and always have
Whispers i can not shake

Love letter
I love you
I have never spoken those words aloud about you
But it is not a love of romance, no wine and roses
Its a deep seated love, with empathy, comfort and relation
A love that is deep, in a comfortable, calm, cool kind of way
It makes me want to wrap my arms around you and take away all that keeps you awake at night
The things that make your heart ache
The things you just can not shake
I want to share my passion for art and life with you
because I know you feel the same
There is this sweet kind of comfort to you
A vulnerability that shows in your words
A little boy in the body of a man
You are bought and sold
But, it is a necessary evil
I fear if you saw me
You would run away
Want nothing of me
Hurt me for loving you in my way
Its a sweet, gentle kind of love
Innocent and pure
Wanting to give to you unconditionally
No judgments
No using
No betrayal
Just trust, comfort, and serenity
That's what lies within me

I hate me
I hate my face
hate my body
hate my skin
hate my behavior
I hate the way I am
I known i have nothing anyone wants
I am unworthy
of love
of touch
of a good man
Alone is what i am worthy of
lost and alone and in pain
I want the not alone more than anything on this earth
I do not think it will ever come
I do not think I will have it
Because the world says I don't deserve it.
The world always wins against me
I lower my head when i walk
i don't look people in the eyes anymore
I cry silently when i am alone
and i lose hope
Because hope is a lie
Love, for me, is a lie
it won't get better one day
those are lies people tell to make you feel better
Just like "you're pretty"
One day are the two cruelest words in the world
because what they really mean is never
I will never have who I want
I will never have a man who loves me and treats me well
I will never have passion, or perfect comfort
I will never be held or kissed
because i am a hideous monster
Not meant for anyone's eyes
Like a festering, sickening thing
repulsive and unclean
So do i hide myself away?
Do i stop hoping?
resign myself to live without love?
Should i stop putting on makeup and perfume?
Stop trying to make myself pretty
Because it doesn't seem to cover me
because, no one can see me for me
No can see any beauty
that i am not sure is even there
but sometimes i feel it it deep inside
where no one looks

Climbing walls
Someone once said the heart wants what it wants
But i don't want my heart to want this
because it makes me ache, makes me crave, makes me want
What i can not have
You
There are Walls between you and I
Too high for me to climb
My arms aren't strong enough
My legs wont push me up
I hate those walls
but they are there all the same
knowing they are there and keep me from you
Brings me so much pain
Disappointment
an ache that i can never dull
I try to make my heart stop
Try to make it not want you
But it doesn't listen
and it just keeps longing for the it
So i try to escape it
with tv, writing and distractions
but you are always there
Is some tiny way

Friend from a Stranger
I think of you all the time
of the words i want to say
To reach inside
So you will show yourself to me
I know you'll never want me
Because, I am not a pretty girl
But, i think you could use me
For things that pretty girls don't have
There is something more to me
Than my outer shell
I have a lot to give
I have a good heart
I have a deep soul
Beauty fades
Love can be a lie
Compassion can be faked
That's why i want to look you in the eye
To see into you
See if you are hiding
See the brokenness and beauty inside you
Touch something deep
Help you heal
You can help me heal too
We have been down the same road
Just some of the detours are different
I want to lay my head on your chest
Feel your arm around my shoulder
Feel you breath
And hear your heart beat
While you tell me what burdens you
Tell me what's burns in you
I want to make it better
MY empathy for you runs so deep
But, we have never met
That's what is so strange
I feel like I should know you
and help take away your pain
Is it by the design
of something larger than we
That drives me to comfort you
and to show myself to you
in ways i have shown no one
I think i could trust you
In a world where I trust none
I could be wrong
But, these feelings are so strong
I do not feel desperate
I do not feel pain when it comes to you
I do feel an ache
Of a empty spot inside me
that i think you belong
Your heart is like mine it seems
And i cant say I have ever known that from anyone before
Which makes it so weird for me
To long for a friend from a stranger
And doubting it will ever come to be

Elusive
Love is elusive for me
Love is not real
Love is for the pretty
The mannequins in their plastic of this world
Not for someone real
Not someone like me
Its been so long since i have been kissed
i don't even remember what it feels like
Nor what its like to lay in strong arms
or to be touched
I had it once
It wasn't real
Living lies
for eleven years
Three years burned down
I have been alone
Alone i struggle on
Am i not worthy of love
Am i not good enough
am i too ugly
to deserve someone's touch
or love.
Have i ever been loved?
I don't think so

Love the girl
I have gone to such extremes
To make my self worthy of love
An ugly creature
In the eyes of men
But, I am so afraid, I tremble in the night
I am never going to be good enough
Good enough to love
I am so unpretty
Nothing sexy here
No one wants to touch me
Kiss my lips
no one to hold me
or touch the curve of my hips
Please don't look at me
I am hideous
For you to reject me
Would break my heart
Make me broken
Make me fall apart
You mean more to me
Than you could know
I cant tell you why
because i don't know
I wish someone would come along
And love the girl
See the girl
Inside of me
Instead of this worn out shell
that is not me
But how can you see
When i cant even see the beauty
That i know is inside me somewhere
If someone would just love the girl
Maybe i could see what they do
Maybe i could stop living in the dark
Alone and lost
Crying for a touch, for a spark
Dying without it
Losing my humanity
Wont someone one come and just see me?

The news makes me angry
I can't believe
What i see on my tv
hate and war
Liars as leaders
What is wrong with this world?
why can't they see
Love covers a multitude of sins
Love can conquer all
If they would open their hearts
And see the human lives behind he agendas
We were made to love each other
Why cant they see
We were made to be together
In unity

Enjoy the ride
So many obstacles to get to you
But i just keep climbing up and down
i do what i have to do
To get to know you
let you know me
I'm a girl who gets what she wants
My persistence is legendary
I am stubborn and i am strong
No need to fight
Just slide right in
to my life
Make your self comfortable
Enjoy the ride baby
Something in me
Likes something in you
You ar so unobtainable
But, i just keep trying to break through
I will ya know
With my words and spirit
You will like what you find
Just give me some time baby
That all i am asking for
Give me a chance to show you who i am
I know you are a good man
My determination is 100%
I hope ya don't mind if i am a little bent
I have scars ya know
but i have a good heart
I am not a perfect woman
I have done some things i wish i hadn't
But That's over now
I am strong and proud
I make my art
feel things so big
It sometimes blows my mind
I have a sweet soul
I show you love
And respect
I wont let you down
I'd never hurt you baby
I'd never use you
You are always safe and secure with me
Just thought I'd let you know baby
:)

Talk Hard
I feed off your words
They give me breath
They enrapture me
I wish to find your favor
I can not get enough of them
I greedily stuff them in
grabbing as much as i can
I love your words
because they make me feel less alone in this world
You say the things i think
and have as many contradictions and quirks
but behind them there is truth
I wait for new words
and hope one day i will hear them in my own ear
Talk to me
get me high
touch my heart with your mind

Ache
I want you
I need you
I'd love you
I'd love to
My heart aches for you
My body aches for your touch
My lips ache for your kiss
I ache because i will never have you
I ache so deep inside
Its like this blackness that seeps in
like ink onto a carpet
soon everything is black
Soon, i am gone
So i hide in my heart
thinking of what we could be
if you would just come
and set my ache free

Sweet Insanity
Why did you come here
To live inside my head
Why did God show you to me
When he new i would want you
But could never have you
Unless God knows something i don't know
You wanting me would be a miracle in itself
I don't see any way it could be
So i dwell here in sweet insanity
Inside my mind i see your face
Wrapped in your arms i could fall from grace
If you knew what you do to me
Bring me hope and pain at the same time
You aren't even aware of who i am
Never spoke,never touched
yet i want you man
I don't think about forever when it comes to you
With our track records it makes no sense
i don't even think about you falling in love with me
but spending time
and our minds
and whatever might come what be
No definition, just you and i
more than friends less than lovers
Something slow and sweet
truth is being here is murder
all that goes on in my head
It brings comfort
but it also aches, in the worst way
Wanting you, needing you
And you are so far away
Its nothing but sweet insanity
Sweet because it about you
Insane because its of a life i will never know
And i feel so much inside about you
i want to tell you
not repel you
but i cant get to you
So far away from me
Not just in distance
in every way
yet we are somehow the same
How can i miss someone i never had?
nights like this is when i get down so low
it drives me mad
body amped, but mind burned out
Sweet insanity, is all That's let of me
can you pull me out
help pull me out
By Becoming real, my love.
Sanity awaits in your arms
the best medicine is in your kiss
will you keep me from harm?

Pluck
I want you
You don't want me
I don't know you
What have you done to me
I saw you yesterday
You looked at me like i was pitiful
with a pained smile on your face
I hate that look
I get it from men all the time
I hate their shallow basis
For divining my worthiness
of love
of kisses
of touch
They don't know what they are missing

Melancholy Sunday night
I wish you were here
because tonight i really don't want to be alone
I can feel the heat of coming tears
because tonight the blues are taking their toll
It creeps up on me sometimes
Doesn't wait for an invitation in
I think it would take look into your eyes and i would be fine
Something in the way you move
In the tilt of your head
is so comforting to me
Your words wash over me like a summers night rain
They release me from my prison inside
hidden in your melody is traces of your pain
Pain like mine
I want to heal your wounds
And make them seem so long ago
I want to see a smile upon your face
When i say hello
But, that will never be
because you will never want me,
I am not good enough
pretty enough
young enough for you
Some where deep inside my heart
I know we would be good together
Its just this knowledge that sits there
That i really cant explain
Like the fit would be perfect
We would compliment each others lives
And provide what we each need
but it is never going to happen
You are never going to know
The love i could give you
The peace of mind i could bring
The thing you want so much for yourself
I just sit here alone
as the tears begin to fall
for the sorrow have never going to love you
the sorrow of never knowing.
Something that could be real
could be right
Should happen
but you are so far away
an i am so imperfect
even thinking of it hurts
Leaves me with ache i cant explain
It makes no sense to me
but i feel it just the same
The tears come hot and fast now
for never having loved or lost
Even if i lost you in the end
I would still want the journey
With you by my side

Gun to my head
You must have been out of your mind
to think you could break me
yeah i got down
but i rose above you and your filth
Lies, betrayal, a smack, a kick, a threat
Gun to my head
In that moment i found my strength
I looked you in the eyes
and i took control
victim no more
You tried to break me good
but you failed
Like you do at everything you do
because i am stronger than you will ever be
in my weakest moments
Any man who harms a woman disserves what he gets
Call it, Gods judgment, karma, or just desserts
It comes around
not by my hand
As i am better than you
above you
beyond you
You never knew me at all
Just tried to control me, destroy me
I laugh in your face little man
I am stronger now than ever
And you... you are just the pathetic shell of a human
doling out what your father did to you
onto those you supposedly love
You don't know love
not at all.
You toss the word around like used tissues
You don't even love yourself
you made me hate me
made me wish for death
but the jokes on you
I have found my art
I have found my life and livelihood
and i will go to the places you dreamed of,
but will never see or do
I kept your name
not as a souvenir of my time with you
but to rub it in your face one day
When it is being spoken of
and its got nothing to do with you
