Poetry

you'd think i'd hate the way i'm bleeding

out

through the cracks in my heart

but it's an exhalation, 

relief

because the worst part is when you

turn

away from me and the worst part is when you

Fall, O Fall

I love to see you call,

The vibrant love, 

I see the leaves falling from above,

The joy comes, 

As winter comes near,

I think our world knows

How easily we’re overwhelmed,

How quickly tiny scrapes

Can become full-blown scars,

How we need seven good comments

I don't understand 
How you never will get older 
How you will stay the same in my mind 
For the rest of time 

And I will continue to get older 
And I will soon 
One day grow old 

Under the summer
The fall is waiting
It waits calmly and quietly 
Waiting for its slow change 
Into only a few months 

Their are flames in my eyes,

that are burning me alive.

As I swallow back tears,

that are like gasoline to the fire inside.

I sit and I wonder if someone will ever stop the pain,

Is it possible to fail with an A+

Or do I just feel like I'm failing myself?

I'm the best one in your class,

But I still send emails making excuses for my declining grades. 

She runs down the path to the lake by her old school. 

Every day she comes there, for one reason. 

To see something. 

A bench...it stands by the lake. 

Serene and frail. 

Every day when I see you 

Before school 

My heart feels 

Golden

I Love

Your face.

Your fashion choices.

I did not fall in love with his face

I fell in love with his words

the way he smiled

the way he cared

the way he knew exactly how I was feeling before I said a word

i was late for school because i ignored my alarm 

i ignored my alarm because i stayed up late 

i stayed up late because i pretended i did not have homework 

Fear is a cage

Trapping me

Holding me

Keeping me in the same spot

I can peek through the bars

Get a glimpse of hope

But a shadow of fear covers it

Fear is a cage

Stopping me
