A Love Poem For Someone I Haven't Met

You lay there, head upon my chest fingers interlocking with mine. 

Soft music or a movie or something is on in the background

Soft blonde hair lay on bare chest and beating heart. 

I wish we could have stayed that way forever

Back when the wind would catch your auburn hair making the sky appear ablaze. 

When you painted my nails to match yours, I wore it til the paint chipped to dust. 

I still feel the kiss laid upon my cheek 

And the warmth of a smile that made the sun blush. 

That time we drove, windows down, damn near freezing to death in a snowstorm. 

But we drove for what felt like days

Your hand on mine as as you sang trashy alt. rock at the top of your lungs. 

Your brown hair dancing in the frozen air. 

Or when Autumn fell and I lost you in the piles of leaves we spent all day trying to collect. 

The time I cried and you kissed me, all things fell still. 

People suck but all things seemed a little better when your around 

Even though your taste in movies kinda sucks. 

I think I can accept if you tell me you prefer some other Marvel superhero over Spider-man

But never tell me you’re a DC fan. 

Its okay if you’re the awkward one, though earning that title may be difficult. 

I don’t care if you’re more Dom or Sub in this, nor do I care if its pants or skirt everyday. 

Just promise me every moment will be memorable. 

Cat person or dog person, screw it as long as you’re a me kinda person. 

I’m tired of all these annoying couples in the halls, I wanna be one for once. 

Dress or suit, I don’t mind just let me take you to prom and be prepared for my mom to take lots of pictures. 

Become the reason my friends are annoyed, become the person I won’t shut up about. 

I’m writing a poem to someone I have never met heart in my hands asking them to come say hello.

This a poem for someone I’ve never met hoping that they will hear it.

Every Fucking Time

1 Every fucking time I’m around you My heart drops 

Becomes locked in a state of perpetual darkness I get nervous because I don’t want myself to slip Why do I think you hate me

2 My voice isn’t strong I lack willpower I feel overwhelmed almost overpowered by you

3 We are polar opposites Born on different sides of a spectrum Born into different worlds   Like cold to hot  Peace to chaos  And your handcrafted chaos triumphs over all 

4 You scare me  More than one should Your looks are devilish  Your eyes hide the truth Your intentions are that of demons

5 You never say it anymore  Those three simple words never leave your lips You never say I love you anymore But you can say it so perfectly to her

6 I try my hardest  It seems like you don’t even try at all

7 you care more about her  Than me  It breaks my fucking heart because I loved you first

8 You don’t comfort me anymore  I see it in your eyes that you are sick of my crying

9 We are never apart but we feel so distant

10 You know who I am  But you still question it

Thin curtains made of lead

Weighs heavy on one's soul

No one notices a few drops of poison

If you kill someone slow enough

They won't even realize their dying

If the walls are big enough 

No one will realize they have been imprisoned

If the shackles are wrapped around your heart are you truly trapped

What if you have started to love the way the chains cut into your skin

What happens if you want to be free

But have no idea how to be

Is anyone truly trapped

If we all live in handcrafted prison cells

Why do I feel so trapped when I built this prison for myself

Shouldn't I feel safe inside my own mine

Shouldn't I know better than to let myself fall in love with you

Why am I falling in love with the broken pieces of my mind

Why do I feel so trapped when I bound myself to these vary walls

The chains are cutting their way through my heart, leaving life long scars

But I don't know if I mind the pain

These curtains made of lead block out all sunlight

No one can destroy anything

If you never let them in

Your heart can't be broken

If you never give it away

Your knuckles will never bleed

If you never fight back

No one will notice the scars upon your heart

Or the broken glass that is your mind

If you never exit the comfort of your handcrafted prisons cell

But you find these chains as comforting as I do

The soft steal hands of angels keeping one safe from the world outside

But keep in mind Lucifer was once an angel

Not all salvation is the best option

The outside world is filled with monsters

But the beast one's mind creates are far worse

So don't lay behind locked doors

Simply waiting for death’s gaze to fall upon you

Don't let the concrete walls be built so high

Don't encapsulate yourself inside of a labyrinth

If the poison is tasteless no one will notice

If the flowers are beautiful no one will mind the funeral

If the knife passes through swift enough

Death will arrive far before pain does

But you see these invisible walls we build around ourselves

Thinking the will protect us from pain and heartbreak

Are nothing more than a tasteless poison we have all become addicted to

Fading

I haven’t slept yet

Don’t know if I will tonight

The ghost of us still slow dances across my heart 

I know we're just friends

If I can even call you that

I haven’t seen you in months 

And I fear your finally beginning to fade

Social Suicide

Social Suicide

At least that is what they preached at the one they called love

Beating and tearing

The screams and cries

Leaving here black and blue

Hiding behind false smiles and those reassuring lies

But now see bleeds alone

Heart still beating

But the song is so faint

Her mind still sings for the touch of another

But don’t you know speaking your mind is

Social Suicide

That’s what they screamed at the boy who thought it was okay to be vulnerable

The boy who let himself cry

Though we all cry

He let his moment of weakness be seen

To the boy who wore his heart on his sleeve

And let this world trample it

Leaving him broken

Hidden behind a shield crafted from fake smiles and falsely placed confidence

Until he became nothing more than panic and acidic tears

Left all alone in these very halls

I’m sorry they keep screaming

Social Suicide

Don’t cry

It’s okay

Everything is okay

They whisper whilst screaming

Social Suicide

Is that what they call it

I’m sorry that some of us chose to be human

Instead of clones beat into submission by a never ending onslaught of rumors

Beat until we conform

Live life as they expect us to

I’m tired of wearing this shield

So please

Can we please stop screaming

Social Suicide

So we can finally get these daggers out of our back
