You have two tastes

When Appeased

You are honey

Sweet and loving

Honey masks the vinegar

That seeps inside you

Only for a little while

But on my taste buds

You sit too long

I taste you

Hidden sourness

Bittersweet, impureness...

You are my hair tie

I slip you on pleasantly

But after awhile

You pull too tightly

And rub against

Unwanted places

And when you've had

Enough of me

You leave me in despair

With split ends

And broken hair...

I hate my heart

Resentment fills it

And a crap ton of sadness

Sadness you may call "dramatic"

And yes, maybe I am

Maybe I feel too much

I feel me

I feel you

And a random person on the street

I feel pain I dont see

To see how much I bleed

To uncover the real me

Im sorry I burst out with

Coldness

And Anger

But is it so much danger

To instead overly feel

Than silently quaver?...

I wish I were those leaves

Flowing freely in the air with no care

Laughing in the wind with pretty colors

Glowing from all around them

I wish I could fit in

But instead, I fall from the air

Wishing I weren’t there

And instead giving a care

A care into every little wind that blows my way

Even if it wasn’t meant to swift past me

I care too deeply others say

I feel too much every day

One word c...

My heart burns

The bottle stares into my soul

As if it is slowly moving towards me

The addiction wont give up easily

It knows me

All my doubts and fears

I try my best to resist

But still, the addiction persists

Like a hungry tiger

It pounces taking no prisoners

I shamefully give in

To a long suffering addiction

I hate what it does to me

But mostly what it does to those I hold close

I am guilt...

I am a open book

I let all close enough read

I reveal my smudged ink

Between my crumbled sheets

Even when im ashamed

I let you feel relieved

Some pages stick, unseen

Its a temporary weed

But you've glued your pages from me

So many plot holes

So many "You dont need to knows"

Do I need to know?

Because I care

Because I share

It isnt fair

I let you tear

I wish you told me

The secrets kept only b...

Silently, I grasped all the hope I had left

The wind blew my hair like a melody

And I held the paper tightly

A paper filled with my life and dreams

A damp paper sat beneath tired fingers

My tears flowed through the lines

Smudging the memories held by beautiful words

And I tried to flow through the pain and the hurt

The ocean looked back at weary hazel eyes

Its swift beats demanded an answer from...

Dark shallows of void

Swallow us up to hide

For this dangerous hue

Mask what's really inside

Daily, we cover the truth

To win desired acceptance

In theese times of youth

The dark kills the difference

This tragic life is the abscene of light

Stay in the dark to survive

Mimic the trends to fit in

Dont shine too bright

If met with the mother of light

The end is near

Who wouldve thought

The dark...

“Mandy. Please, look at me.” I watch as his worried face trails on mine, and he grabs my chin slowly, his handsome onyx eyes lingering over me. “What is it?”

My heart pounds beneath my chest. “Is- Is he dead?” I fearfully look over at an old man lying in a pool of blood on a tiled floor. I dont understand. We were only going to take money from him so we could run away together, to fulfill our dre...

The Light flickers

And the wind sways

As the dark whispers

Through a boundless maze

But be careful

Dont creep too close

For nights like these

Often have saddened hosts

The rough twigs snap

And a shadow stalks

But don't be so scared

They're only here to talk

One after your secrets

One, looking for weakness

To see inside the things

You carefully keep hidden

So don’t give in

The next time you he...
