you take over everything I love
slowly creep in
make yourself comfortable
and devour me from the inside out
I have to say
i'm not surprised
when my nail polish
lasted longer than my trust in you
you are the pollen
I am the bee
you are the bunny
I am the boxer
you are the moon
I am the sun
you are the fawn
I am the lion
but this story is all wrong
because from the start
you have always been the hunter
and I will always be the prey
I knew this boy
And I think
He had life all figured out
His smile lit up the room
His laugh was contagious
But when he spoke, the room became silent
It only happened once
See, this kid chose to stay quiet
He watched
He listened
He learned
But he was outgoing in his own way
He saw no reason for petty small talk
No use in speaking "yes" or "no" when a nod would suffice
If he could answer by actions he would
Or he wouldn't answer
I think that idea sounds
wonderful
after all,
words start wars
oh god
~please take me back
empty sky
what have i done wrong
you leave me here in the cold
blue sky
this
this is not where i belong
comets
~stars
galaxies
comfort in the void
quiet existence
if you would even call it one
planets
~moons
nebulas
space really is beautiful
beautiful: the last thing i would call this place
take me home
Remember when you walked with me up to the creek behind my house?
I do.
You told me that you thought I was pretty.
I still think about that,
Even though it probably meant nothing...
But
What if it did mean something?
What if I never brushed you off
What if I told you the dim light made your eyes glow and my heart skip?
Would we still be talking over computer screens (occasionally)?
Or would we be talking though kisses and cheap wine?
It probably meant nothing...
Still, it makes me
Think.
It would be cool if you stuck around
It would be cool if anyone stuck around
It would be cool if I didn't scare you away
Just this once, if I didn't love anyone too much
If I wasn't so clingy
If I didn't want to save
Everyone
Yeah, that'd be cool
You tell me
The world isn't beautiful.
Something,somewhere is missing
It is a horrible place
I suggest you look at the little things
Like broken glasses
bent guitar picks
Old stained glass windows
Old converse that have seen more of the world than you have ever heard of
The world isn't beautiful.
Go outside and look up.
That off-orange of when the sun fades behind the horizon
That peach that almost matches the color that hugs your lips
The galaxies and constellations and stars
The moon that smiles down at us
The world isn't beautiful to me.
Okay.
Earth is an ugly place.
Unemployment, homelessness, hunger
Racism, sexism, homophobia

Yo
she sells 9mm shells by the seashore,
says she can hear the ocean.
but if you listen close to these shells
you can hear ghosts.
something borrowed, something blue,
something broken, something bruised.
she traces her fingers across the autopsy scars
while she counts her bones like currency.
she'll leave your skin screaming,
and sink into the whites of your eyes like a shipwreck.
can you hear the ocean?

And there are some of my personal recommendations.... may not be for everyone but man there is some talent that needs to be shared.
LadyBitterblue Thank you! I'm doing fine even though I guess some of my poems could be seen as dark. The anonymous thing is more or less to avoid people at my school.
