behind the stars, there’s my moon

he wraps me in a midnight tune

we danced the night, not getting cold

he gave me his silver heart to hold

when I lifted my finger he stopped to pause

and started unwrapping the protective gauze

layer by layer, his heartbeat grew faster

the pace was leading to an awful disaster

under the wrap, his heart burned red

the black night died, as morning sun bled

a bright d...

I volunteered to be an innocent maid

not knowing id be ceramically displayed

in a museum full of distraught horny men

who write expensive checks with a cheap ball point pen

my pure surface out in the craving open

covered in nothing, glimmering like a love token

but this isn’t love, its a lustfull institution

where Im sold to hungry men, who think my body the solution

where are their futile wives?...

misty window drowned in spluttered rain

im left alone and in sizzling pain

the feeling of your betrayal stings my soul

nothing but you can fill this empty hole

this thunder sounds like my broken heart

can we please just go back and restart?

were all those heavily spoken words true?

im losing every piece of myself because im intertwined with you

you stabbed a dagger into my fragile heart

you p...

I know we arent meant to be,

but as those ocean blue eyes stare at me

i feel like me and him are destiny.

i know all the dangers

of talking all night then walking past like strangers,

and its going to lead to failures.

but I so badly want it to be him

i see our future through every limb

although the chances of us are slim.

i always thought I was his pearl

but he has a girl for every curl

i want my...

every time you leave me on delivered

i wonder if our love has withered

i removed the red heart from beside your name

the fact I added one was so lame

the calls you declined made me rethink

if my love for you was worth my last blink

the texts you left on opened after we had a fight

left me overthinking and crying at night

but you don’t care you never did

for you and your friends I was just a stupid...

I want to have someone

i want to have someone to share my last name with other than who I got the last name from

i want to have someones beautiful hair to comb

i want to have someone who would wait all day to see my smile

i want to have someone who would hold me in their arms when im breaking down

i want to have someone who would fill my empty

i want to have someone who looks up to me and respects...

the feeling of trauma, some may never know.

it hurts and haunts, but it will never fully show.

you may try to fight it, and make it go away.

but whatever you do, you’ll hear it screaming “I will always stay”.

it’s like an open box, safely stored away.

but as soon as your eyes wonder, and look it’s way.

it sucks you in and shuts tightly, never to be opened again.

it chokes you, until you can hardl...

As time came closer to midnight, all I could hear was the clock ticking, louder and louder with every thought. I glanced at my watch and jumped onto my feet, horrified at what the digits were.

When I looked in the mirror, makeup was smeared all over my face and my dress was the wrong way round. I rolled my eyes and checked my phone. Messages from everyone I could name appeared.

Mom: ‘I...
