gilded

dear i wonder is it you
that i love, treasure
is it the love you give me?

I am gilded. You deserve wonders beyond gold.

I Don’t Want to Talk

I don’t want to talk
Locked
Somewhere between my eyes and my trembling hands
I couldn’t hold the pencil
To tell you.

It fell from between my fingers
And I watched the chance to yell
Hit the ground
— my voice thins with your hair

I need a flashlight

In the dark.
I let myself shiver.
If I had a lover .
I wish they would hold me.
I wish they were there.
     So I don’t focus on the monster that’s not there reaching for my neck.
But  instead,their heartbeat when I put my head on there chest.
Like a flashlight in a dark tunnel.

I CAN SEE THAT EVERYTHING AHEAD IS GOING TO BE OKAY

* to bad I left it in the basement and it’s out of batteries*
    Like I am weak when they leave me

Lonely and confession I’m still afraid of the dark and my parents hate my part on the electricity bill.

Held Me

You held me
In your arms
Then let me go

You held me
In your arms
Then let me grow

You held me
In your arms
And I loved you more
Than you could ever know

Then I watched you fall apart
And held you close
Then I watched you fall apart
And had to let you go

Dedicated to my mom ♥

My Happiness Is Heavy

Why do I continually ****** my happiness into other peoples arms when they can never hold the weight very long?

My entire world I gift without the slightest hesitation

To a person who never asked to bear my burden

Never wanted the responsibility of taking care of my heart

Of course the life dangling from their fingers isn’t important-

-It is not their obligation to fufill

Whenever you are near me next

I will ****** my smile right out of your clumsy hands

And take back the happiness you so shakily held

If it is not already too late...

Don’t put your happiness in other people’s hands. They’ll drop it, every single time.

Brine

I got a couple of things to say
That I feel would clear
All that fog that hangs
Inside my head
and makes it
so hard to
think.
But if I open my mouth
All the mist will
Come out
And I won't see
the truth.
