You weren’t the one

You scare me

You manipulate me

You used me for your gain

You thought you owned me

You weren’t in love with me

You were in love with the idea of me

You sucked away my happiness 

I tried to leave 

You followed me everywhere I went 

You degrade me when you have a tantrum 

You called me your wife and treated me like a possession

I don’t owe you anything

You changed ...

L.O.N.E.L.Y

Love hanging with my friends

Of course I am okay

No one by my side is better than you

Everything makes me want to scream

Little things set me off

You’d never know how empty I feel

self love

I can’t be what you want me to be
My appetite for you comes and goes
I try to be what you want
I try to be what you need
But sometimes you are just too much.
My knees go weak when I try to carry you on my shoulders 
I let you down becomes a familiar tune to you
I just want you to get better
You need to get better,
Please just be better.
You come in many forms but better doesn’t happen to...

Always busy

Struggling to make time for you

Giving up my sleep

Being there on my worst days

Constantly disappointing you

Dedicating myself

Spending all my money

Sleepless nights

Early mornings

Why do I put myself through this?

College.

For Nick

Time

Measured only with each other

Spent so little of

Yet it feels like forever.

Strangers

To making out downstairs at a party

Now I can not see my life without you.

Feelings

Starting off as a crush

Turning into endearment

I can not get you off of my mind.

You

Just a guy I met in college

Quickly becoming my everything

How did I fall for you so quickly?

lust

Penetrate my border

Skin deep

Merciless

I want you to claim my vortexes

As one

Show me how much you want to be a part of me

Tug my hair behind my ear

Whisper to me how much you love me

Accept everything I have to offer

As I do the same for you

The New Boy

I gave him everything that I didn’t even know I had

More than just what’s on the outside

He knows my soul, inside and out

He can play a trivia game about me with me, and I know he’ll still beat me

He knows the way I fidget my fingers when I’m anxious

He noticed the way my  lips would curl when I always wanted to laugh in a serious situation

He’s the only one that knows till this ...

Home

Familiar walls become unfamiliar tunnels,
The heart isn't in here anymore,
Screams echoing the tunnels, yelling
Mom and dad sign the papers
Cracks coming up from the middle of the floorboards, the house is separating
The plants are dying, dried up leaves are falling on the ground that we once had family picnics on,
The roof doesn't shelter me the same, allowing nature to take its course, not...

color

Baby you don't got me feeling blue
You got me feeling black
All I feel is darkness, I ain't never running back, to you
I can never do that, the feelings that u left me, got me rolling back, the time
When I thought you were mine, told you that I needed you and u decided that I'm, a waste
You thought you put us in our place, breaking up the good shit, all there's left is bullshit, a cave
That ...

Ex

You did me so dirty
I thought you were worthy
All my time, attention and money is what I wanted to give to you
Boy, how could you hurt me?
I always put you before me
Making sure I was your #1 fan was always a priority 
I couldn't leave if I knew you were down
I always wanted to see the best in you
I knew the potential you held and I valued you
I just wanted you to grind and I wanted to se...

Brief

isn't it funny how

you said you would love me forever

but your forever

was merely a moment

Someday never came

When I first laid eyes on you, I’ve never thought I’ve seen someone so perfect

I stared at you, and you stared back

In that moment I knew you were who I wanted to stare at forever

Our short time together was much like a fairy tale on your end

Always receiving the appreciation a person deserves when I was always welcomed by nothing

You see at the time, I couldn’t tell you were using ...

Poem I wrote for my brother who is now in jail

The last time I laughed for real was the last conversation we had together before you left 
And I've laughed every day since then
So that's how I been
I'd give my vocal chord to see you again, it's not like I'm using them now anyways
Breathing isn't the same, the feeling of you leaving was equivalent to my lungs collapsing 
Oh what'd I'd do tell you how my day went
My life doesn't seem to be...

Hope

People think when they ask if you trust them you should give them a simple yes or no answer 
Trust is a precious gift 
I don't see why people think it's an easy thing to give out
I wasn't always this way
You see I use to live in California 
I use to live in a drought 
And suddenly once it first started to rain we decided to call this water escaping the clouds hope
Hope followed me ever sinc...

Home

My eyes blink

tears stroll down my cheek

My head explodes

Thoughts everywhere

My heart aches

Yearning for a better relationship

Heart rate rises

Breathing loudly

Control. Control. I need control.

He’s yelling louder

My eyes are piercing

Memories of the last time he did this come afloat

Hitting and shoving

Now I’m running

I can’t stand him

Eyes eve...

Natural Disaster

He was a natural disaster

in every way, shape and form.

He hid it from me for long,

until I was left with nothing.

He was possessed by destruction

Consumed with disaster

yet their was still something beautiful in the way he toiled.

He was a avalanch.

Taking every part of me that wasn’t in tact and crashing it down the hills I called feelings.

Making me the debris left af...

Father

She let out a muffled cry as she closed the door of her room. She sank her back into the wall as she let herself drift her way to the floor like a plastic bag floating in the air. She couldn’t take it anymore but she knew she couldn’t leave. She was all he had. She was his first real love. Everyone he has had in his grasp before she came along didn’t create the adoration he had for her. That’s bec...
