She once believed she had beauty
Because he told her it was there
He wrote sonnets and love letters
Told her how much he cared
Though the words were generic
The emotion insincere
Cliché upon tawdry cliché
Rung endlessly in her ears
Sighing she berates herself for the words she once believed
Baby, oh baby, you are the only one for me
She shakes her head at the girl who bought such garbage.
Never has anyone made me feel so whole, so free
Her heart was won by greeting card sentiments
And oh lord, did she fall
Though the happiness was short lived
When on others did he start to call
He would come home late

Special?
Is that what you thought of yourself?
Beautiful?
Is that the lies you made the mirror whisper?
Cherished?
Is that the lies you whispered to yourself as you lie in bed alone?
Bite the lips that whispered such foolishness
Hold back that fairy tale you were aching to create
Desired?
Is that what you got from something so innocent?
Shake the head that spun such stories
Close the eyes that saw things that weren't there
Splash cold water on your face
Look into the mirror and see the flaws
See you for who you are and not who you wanted yourself to be
Mediocre
Average
Far from special.
Dreams are a luxury that you can't af
Colors mixing; flying
Small patches of beauty
On an otherwise blank life
Swirling into each other and crashing
Falling down like mist
Covering me with their brilliant hues
Covering me with such purity
Such security
That my soul sings
Flying high
Screaming with the crimsons
Sighing with the greys
Taking the beauty and stealing it
Taking the vibrancy of the raw colors
And creating words
Like a greedy parasite
But i cant help myself
The colors are dancing
Crying out!
How could i reject such beauty?
In a place where so few moments
Cry out
Sing
Inspire
I can't let such beauty go to waste
I cant walk by idly
W
I cried so hard
The day you left me
Thinking that nothing would ever be the same again
That without your voice telling me that you love me
With out your soft touch and kisses that left me breathless
That without your love?
I would be nothing
Worthless
I cried so hard
When I saw how coldly your demeanor changed
From that of a friend
A lover
To that of a ruthless stranger
I felt like I had been broken
Into nothing
Shattered
I cried so hard
When I finally allowed myself to smile
The guilt overtaking me
Because I had thought that I was
Betraying you
Abandoning you
Abandoning the memory of good times long past
Memories of
I look at my reflection.
Repulsed.
WHO ARE YOU?
What are you worth?
I pound my fist on the mirror.
A Penny
A Nickel
A Pound
I'm not worth much.
Not worth the shoes I stand in
Or the smile painted on my face
I pound my fist on the mirror
Harder
Harder
Harder still
Skin breaks
Blood seeps
I look into the mirror
What are you worth?!
A dollar
A dime
A minute of your time
Am I worth your time?
With this crazed look
And the tears filling in my eyes
The mirror cracks against the pressure
Just like I do, under so many hard circumstances
Maybe if I was better you would have stayed?
What are you worth?!
The crack spread
Sighing I slip into bed
With thoughts of you on my mind
Not heavy and overbearing as I'm so used to
But light, like wild flowers in spring
Light like your eyes
Miles away you are from me
But when I read your sweet nothings
Its as if you lay next to me
Smiling I hold on to that thought
Thinking of you laying here beside me
With my fingertips grazing the lips that bring such beauty to me
Those kind words spoken in that honest voice
Picking me up from the darkest places
Showing me the happiness I never thought I deserved
Because of you my broken heart is beating
Like a caged bird in my chest
Wishing to be free
So it might find
Suffocating,
Falling deeper and deeper into that familiar grey place
With memories wrapping themselves around my body
Gently,
At first, like the steady hand of a lover
Slowly it starts to tighten its grip...
Searing uncomfortable tendrils of good times lost
I scream
But no sound passes my lips
And the grey tendrils slip into my mouth
Filling me up from the inside out
Filling my lungs
I CANT BREATHE!
Make it stop!!
I want to scream, the tears flowing freely
The times of the past pressed so heavily on my chest
Cracking my ribs
Crushing my heart
Seeing the shell of a human they left behind
Seeing the tear stained face
Se
I'm broken
Fractured
Weak
You took away everything that I held dear
You took away You
The love we shared.
Don't you remember any good?
Soft whispers
And stolen kisses
No?
How?
How can you take that love and make it disappear?
Let me know
I'm begging you
Much like I begged you to stay
But that didn't work
And you left me in a pool of tears
And a life full of love lost
Tossing and turning
On a sea of sheets and open regrets
Why couldn't it have ended better?
The last time I held your face
Why didn't you want to wrap me in your arms?
Envelop me in the love that we both share
Why did I have to cry?
Emotions flying
Only to crash on the aftermath of a ruined night
Why didn't I stop?
Before I slammed the door
Told you to leave
And fell into bed
With a heart heavy with mistakes
And a pillow wet with tears.
Why is it that the words I so desperately needed
Come too late?
After you're gone
Why is it that those words don't matter any more?
The argument so vital, is worthless
I wish I could take b

So it might find
I know I'm losing,
I'm already dead my back is broken,
and I beg for sleep, often
hang me by my hands, I can barely feel your fingertips,
my attempts to convince myself, aren't enough,
I am more and more facade, as I freeze and freeze,
my eyelids are falling sleepily,
heavy, I am barely awake barely dragged out of bed, barely here
rarely motivated,
I can only hope for a future I don't know
Apologies apologies apologies by TheCharacter-K, literature
Literature
Apologies apologies apologies
good grief,
not, there's no such thing
for the grieving, deserve not, their toil
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry,
if only the quantity of the statement could cure a broken heart,
we'd be as free as songbirds,
free of guilt,
free of regret.
the pangs that slowly kill us,
teach us how to live,
choke us choke us choke us,
comfort us when we finally sleep
The reds were too fiery for my tame soul
Yet the blues too cool for the spirit inside of me
I am a paradox
A hypocrite
A Hieroglyph
That no one should spend time unraveling
I need you. To fill in this space
I so desperately need to fill
This place that's so blank and empty
A hole that is suffocating me from within
The yellows were too joyous for my strained smiles
The greens too full of life for my shattered one
I do not possess the courage
The energy to fight this
To fight me.
To fix me.
The whites were too pure for me, who leaves ruins in her wake
The blacks too dark for the hope that I'm straining to create.
I stumbl

i know i wrote a journal saying this formally but i mean that i have actually written stuff i think is good enough to share! which is so good for me because this writers block stuff went on for much too long!
So as some of you have so kindly noticed my birthday was yesterday, starting my 15th year (lol youth!!) and hopefully fixing the things about me that definitely need some tweaks, including my writing.
But i see a bright future for that! (....hopefully XD)
