Roses as BetrayalÂ
The soil that you grew from was sour
killing those around you
Sharpened thorns that cut those around you
Your beauty controlled and drew those near
Only to trap them in your hold
You stand strong and tall
Red petals darker than the blood we bleed from
But the soil you grew from was sour
The thorns on your stem made others bleed
You’re given as a gift only to appear magnificent
until you start wilting
and eventually you’re gone
you never really knew me
you didn’t grow in my backyard
Him
The fact that my name keeps flowing out of your mouth
Like water pouring out of a bottle
spilling like water, making a mess
Uncontrollably sends me racing
across the oceans to meet paths
yet, I would find myself lost
Lost in blue
feeling blue
feeling green
Like I couldn’t hold it
I couldn’t keep it down
My heart was beating
My stomach was twisting
My head was killing
killing like the people on the streets
the lives lost
the souls being sent to heaven
Heaven where I should be
Where it is calm, peaceful, beautiful
Where you are, God
Forgive me
For the things I’ve done
The things I might of done
Prepare me
For the things ahead
The things I can’t control & the things
You can control
The Picture that He Loved
He held his big hand in mine, and it felt like it swallowed my hand wholeÂ
He wraps his arms around me and involves me into his mind and soul
He pushes and motivates me as if he’s teaching me to reach my greatest potential
He looks at me like I’m the world
Little does he know, I’m looking back at mine
He calls me words that make my heart flutter
I’ve never felt more beautiful
Your total is $7.77
It’s a match made in heaven
He listens to music I’ve never heard of
And knows every single vine that existed
Using references all the time, that I never know but laughed at anyways
He makes me laugh & smile uncontrollably
Crackheads? That’s us
We’re on a different level
We’re on the same level
I’ve never felt so close to someone
I sometimes can’t sleep without him next to me
Missing him on weekends when we go 48 hours without each other
I love the love that he gives me
It’s as if we were both ready to give someone our all and there, we both were
His broad shoulders make me look as if I could climb on him easily without any failure
He could carry me so effortlessly
He massages my pain away, opens my doors, pays for my meals but does so much more
He showed me a whole other side of the world
Late nights with him are the best nights
His big smile drives me insane
His laugh will forever be the greatest sound
Worth it, even if it fails
