Fallert
She smiled and she grinned.
  So happy, so free.
  Unbothered by the worries,
  Not one could plainly see.

  But far beneath the smiles,
  She screamed, a soundless cry.
  She wept in deafening silence,
  Underneath the lie.

  He smiled, he laughed.
  Such a friendly young man.
  Bared one daughter, but no sons.
  He walked every day, never ran.

  But far beneath his chuckles,
  Were rules set to comply.
  With the daughter that he’d beaten,
  Underneath the lie.

  The evening of the funeral,
  She’d mourned for their third part.
  The mother she’d held dearly,
  Heart spiked over the feeble chart.
  
  Family gathered around him,
  Said they’re sorry for his loss.
  Wife and daughter gone,
  He prayed under the wooden cross.
  
  But far beneath his sorrow,
  His heinous grin reached the sky.
  For he cried tears of satisfaction,
  Underneath the lie.

Triste
My pen
bleeds
A thousand
death
As he gives
meaning to my
Words

Cold dark silence engulfs my room
I hide head under a homemade blanket shield
Eyes red; aching with weariness
From screams we shoot and wield

Tears burn rosy cheeks
Fall like embers through the air
Bits of sadness sting my skin
Sear tissue and remain there

Demons living in my skull
Provide everlasting pain
It lingers on torso and limbs
Pours water down my chin like rain
Pesky demons.

Virtuous
With the heart of a mermaid
And love for the sea
I was created to explore...
The depths of life and meaning
The depths of identity
And of the soul
So I dive
Unaware of what I'm searching for
And yet so ready to find it

A fun day
the four of us
a couple
and us
two strangers
sitting on the couch
a controller shared between us
the echoes of our laughter
bounce off those four walls
your shoulder leans against me
my stomach drops
with eyes wide as saucers i look at you
a relaxed smile
warm brown eyes
    What is this?
       I don't want to feel this
         My heart is running a mile a minute
           The lies of ex lovers circles through my head
         Deep breath in
        This is nothing, i feel nothing

(ERROR, ERROR, ERROR)
My life is one big mistake
I am always trying and failing
To get you out of my mind
It’s really hard to forget you
You’re just so great
But you don’t want me
Like I want you
I want my best friend back
I need you back
Is that so much to ask?
(ERROR, ERROR, ERROR)
This is way too much
I can’t handle the fact
That you don’t want me
Even as a friend or more  
You never want to talk to me
It’s like you never even wanted to
In the first place
I thought I could get over you
But it’s harder than it looks
Much harder than I anticipated
(ERROR, ERROR, ERROR)
Ugh, why is high school like this?

helena alexis
the sky is angry tonight
her thundering screams shatter
the earth beneath her

her tears flood the streets
she is sobbing as the precipitation
from her eyes fall harder than ever

she kicks and throws things causing
lightning to strike all around her
she has been like this for days

the sun will shine soon, my love
flowers will bloom everything
will be okay again
