Indiscretion

-

I don't believe I was created

To be a bad person.

My soul was forced into this reality,

Burnt by what they called love,

Ripped apart by what you referred to

As family.

To manage the blaze,

I found a flower within the smoke.

A brief reprieve from a world on fire.

You'll have to excuse my sickness;

The way I cough up blood beside you.

To destroy another in the name of

Your own happiness?

I curl beside the flower,

My breathing labored.

It shivers in the destruction.

I don't believe I was created to be

A bad person.

But I don't know if a good person

Would long for the flower,

Rather than fall to the flames.

I was asked how I take my coffee,

To which I replied..

I like mine sweet with a touch of bitter. To remind me that things that are often sweet, when they leave, will still stain a dirty taste in your mouth while they're gone..

but the taste will never compare to anything else and will forever be craved each day again..

[thepastisapebbleinmyshoe]

I loved him, In tangled sheets, and half asleep.

he loved, the stranger beside him, a beautiful disaster, he thought he could keep.

with a soul too wild, to be chained to him. she dreamed, of paradise.

He craved control, and the thought of forever, touching his own lies.

We're Not Lovers

[abrighterspark]

of all the cliches,

my favourite is you:

sapphire eyes of the deepest blue

laugh like the rolling ocean tides

smile to light up the whole city view

[minhosimthings]

One day you'll look.

You'll look at the dawn and dusk and see true beauty there. You'll look at the stars and see your sister's freckles all dotted there. You'll look at the album cover of your favourite song and realise that it's play on your favourite painting. You'll look into your lover's eyes and see a universe there, the only one you'd want to live in.

One day, one faithful day,

You will look.

Let’s make love

That pulls as passionately

As a riptide

When the moon

Makes love to the sea

[dutifullyteenagewitch]

I couldn't describe you in words,

So I wrote you in my poems.

I couldn't explain your beauty,

So I painted you in my art.

I couldn't spell out your words,

So I wrote you in my songs.

I couldn't taste your sweet smile,

So I baked the sweetness in my oven.

I couldn't feel your warmth on my skin,

So I let the sun char me.

In all my senses, I wanted to experience you;

My muse.

When I first fell in love I felt it in my elbows / When my heart broke I felt it in my throat / I never felt love so intensely before / I didn’t know what was happening / My hands shook and I felt the blood thumping in my arms / My brain wasn’t moving fast enough to realize what was going on / I knew I was in love / But I was still in love

first love, g.n.r

~From the unfinished poems in the back of my journal

[ringsofsaturnnnn]

the second i feel my phone buzz

i can’t help but perk up

because deep down

i hope that it’s you

texting me..

[ashlee-rae]

A love to be given

A heart to be broken

Another fight to have

Words go unspoken

A broken heart bleeds out

Booze to fill the void

A life that was given

I try to forget the noise

A story unwritten

I wish I were her

If things would've worked out

But I'm lost for words

My pen is broken

Just like the heart I gave to you

I wish I could go back in time

I wish I could have you
