poetry

terrified of repeats

 

I am not being dramatic

I have simply learned from the past

 

You ask if I’ll bleed for you

But blood loss is so fatal

And I’m already running on low

 

It starts with a wall

A broken cell screen

Soon there will be nothing

For you to break but me

 

I always attract such selfish boys

Ones who view me as a toy

When all I do is try to create joy

 

selfish vs selfless; a classic love affair

it is what it is because you believed in everyone but me

you could never see what was in front of you it was me

stuck around no matter what you did, that was also me

some people never learn and i wish that wasn’t me

coming back again i’m not sure what you are giving me

but i need to be free

i wish you could see

whats this means

for me

 

stumped lifelines

 

I’m letting you go the way a tree lets go to a saw

 

I keep going back and forth with you

And even though it seems like I’m making no progress

 

My cut gets deeper and deeper every time

 

Green painted to black

You’ll never have me back

 

nose ring

it’s starts with a single dream

And then I infect your brain

You won’t be thinking straight

Won’t cause you too much pain

 

 

Until the memories start bouncing back

We could never keep on the same track

It was the hunger and passion you lack

 

 

box of bus passes, nowhere to go

Don’t think with me

 

Baby wouldn’t you love to be free?

 

Don’t think with me

 

I can be absolutely everything you need

 

Don’t think with me

 

Can I be your afternoon treat?

 

Don’t think with me

 

What good in that can’t you see?

 

Because baby

 

We need to be freed

 

And I’m greedily in love with you
