Men like him
i get shown time and time again by broken men
red flags and warning signs
i think they will change
but in reality the only person changing is me
the sweet loving girl i once was
is being turned into someone cold and harsh
a girl who once had brown glistening eyes
and shiny brown hair
now her eyes are black and blank
her

Heartbound
A cold, silver knife
rests on my shaking fingers.
I graze the blade across my life;
the slicing of it lingers.
I push the metal through my skin,
right to my chest, it cuts.
I have to let the blade in,
to remove my outer crust.
I peel, I tear, I rip
to reveal my blood-stained bones.
I put my hand up to my ribs,
and

Venom Kiss
You pull me in like a velvet snare,
whisper lies in the midnight air.
Every touch is a loaded gun,
but I can’t stop, no, I won’t run.
Dripping sweet like cyanide,
I taste the death behind your smile.
Tangled tight in your design,
one more hit, just one more time.
Venom kiss, lace my veins,
burning slow but I love the pain.
You’re the

Toxic Heart Art
I’ve been listening to your eyes
The way they smile the way they cry
Pulling for miles red heart’s insides
Little crows feet forming thin lines
Telling what tickle’s mahogany mind
Or what pickles in memory’s teal time
You’ve got hearts on a string
Obedient like art got them trained
Glance from you like calling name
Love is a Lion and so we

The Chains we Make
Instead of someone, I feel like no one.
because I know
when all is done,
To you I’m work, but to me you’re fun.
But who you met, was not the one
you now will find;
whose trust you’ve kept,
who now confides;
the truth of what was built on lies.
Nothing lasts,
our paths are fast approaching
days

Whispering Fate
Sacrified everything she had, yet it remained the same.
Ceased expecting anything, indifferent she became.
Ceased expressing preferences, feeling it is pointless.
Silence born from exhaustion and hopelesness.
Unaware of what was evil.
His tainted soul being deceitful.
Destroying everything alive, planting seeds of grief.
As she became someone she barely recognizes, a reflection of his needs.
Never ending feeling of emptiness.
Fate whispering

I Breathe Lies
Betwixt our deceptive connection
Lies told, to always end in
I’ll never have a profound perspective
As my skepticism results in your grin
When our paths crossed
Like two sailboats in a panoramic sea
I believed you were mannerly
Though, sprouted unexpectedly was your immorality
My standpoint was already set
My conception was that you’d abet
To all the curves, bumps, and facets of

Toxic Love
Despise my love, for I am a masochist,
Don't restrain on your hatred for me,
Instead abuse me with your words,
Because the love I possess, is not of your world.
My love is ambivalent,
Although very apathetic,
So don't tell me you love me,
don't tell me you care.
Love is just a figment of our imagination
And being loved is my

Oleander Shrub
Fell for the beauty of an oleander
My feelings were in an emotion blender
They told me that you were bitter
But you always made me feel better
You altered my heartbeat to a new rhythm
It's okay for me, so why should I listen
When with you, my body goes numb
It's a feeling I

I'm the Problem
It's not like I can tell you I love you
How would I even say it?
Those three words?
They don't mean anything anymore
We've all heard them so many times (in some way or another), that it's practically an old cliché
As true as it might be, we'll never imbibe the meaning
Not as long as poets like me exist
We

You First
Broken in two is the way
You wanted me
Swimming in my tears some nights
Not realizing that was only the beginning
Endless pain, constant reminders of my faults
Never being good enough to love
But a target for your hate
You shattered what little confidence I had
You built me up
Only to be the one to tear me down
Always making sure

Toxic Love
Thinking to much is not good.
Good for you Heart.
Heart envolve in Flames.
Flames from the Fire.
Fire of our Heart.
Heart that beats much.
It's not enough good.
Good day's are Tiny.
Tiny when you want more.
More than just one day.
Day of Wonders.
Wonders like you.
You are the Wonder that my eyes see.
See you around me.
Put me in Flames.
Flames that envolve me.
Me

Toxic Love
Because no matter the cost,
I loved you through the storm,
But you gave me nothing but pain.
My eyes hazy with unshed tears for you,
And my heart heavy with hurt by you,
I walked away.
I didn’t know it then, but I know it now.
That you were the reason my soul never seemed to smile,
And you were the
