I fell in love with a girl who wanted to travel.She always wanted to leaveand she was never satisfied with where she stayed.She told me that she found a home in the way I breathebut her heart wouldn't stay with me.

Anatomy of Tracing

Still a little iffy on the title. Some input on it would be much appreciated.

Between

You were the cigarettebetween my teeth. Ilight you and you fillmy lungs. I can'tseem to put you out even thoughI know what you do to my health.You stain my breath with your neverending kiss andI wish I couldput you out.

Cut Me Down

This is an old poem for me, a new one for you. This poem was published in my campus literature magazine.

****************************************************************************************************

I'm back!

"I am, I am, I am"

Don't tell me you can seeit in my eyes. I know you can't---I've kept them closed for so long---And I can't see at all anymore.Don't tell me you can hearit in my voice. You don't even have ears.If I even had a choice---I'd sew my mouth shut.I'm not a bug. You can't just Squash me and see all my ..

The Car

There's a carThat sits aloneIn the parking lot.It means so muchTo the girlWho sits aloneIn her room.She means the World to the boyWho sits aloneIn the carAcross the parking lotWith the lonely girlStanding outside waiting.Waiting for him.

Bed Sheets

You know how you can lay in your bed at night,And just as you're falling asleep you feel like you could fall right,Off your bed.Fall through the sheets into the black of night.But then you wake.And you're still on your bed safe.From the unknown.Or things that will soon change.

Honey

Because there are so many thingsto think about and wonder about.I don't quite understand any of them at all.The louder the voices in my head getthe more I want your arms around mehoney...

Red Jacket

The day my life changedI wore a red jacket.But it wasn't mine.It was a welcomed stranger.An old friend.It was you.You wore a red jacket too.

Let Me

Just wrote this. Hope you really like it. I drew the picture of the heart, by the way.

Butterflies

I just came up with this on the spot.

Breathe Me

I just wrote this. It's only three lines. That's all it needs. It's based on the song Breath Me by SIA.

Untitled

This is a poem my boyfriend wrote me. It is about the same thing my poem His Eyes At Night is about. That poem was about him. It was something we experienced together before we were dating.

Matthew

This is a second poem I wrote for my boyfriend for Christmas.

Stay

I wrote this for my boyfriend for Christmas. :) It's about all the little "its" he does that I love. <3

His Eyes at Night

His eyes at night.In the rain.Under the moonlight.You can't see much.Of his face.But his eyes.You can see his eyes.And the way they look at you.You feel like the only thingLeft on the planet.But you're crying.Like the rain.And he is holding you.And he pulls away.He looked into my eyes.And I could te..

Imperfections

This one is pretty self-explanatory.

Broken Glass and Broken Dolls

There is a deeper meaning.

Tomorrow, Today

I had a thought.You never reach tomorrow.It's always a day away.Because tomorrow becomes today.And today becomes yesterday.And it all goes by too fast.So enjoy today.Forget the past.Forget tomorrow.The sadness won't last.

Falling From the Skies

This is about nature.

The Ocean is a Thousand People Screaming

I went to the beach last week and where we stayed there was this dock that was over in the sound and it was so beautiful. Especially early in the morning. That was my inspiration.

I'm Sorry that I Left You with All these Words

When I look at you there are many things I see.I see your eyes.They are the ocean and the tide pulling me in.I see your freckles.There are about as many as there are stars.I see your lips.They are soft like feathers and red like apples.I see your hair.It's as golden as the sun.I see your arms.They a..

Skinny Love

This is for a contest where we had to basically transcribe a song into poetry. I chose Skinny Love by Bon Iver.

Feelings

This was originally for a contest but I grew to love this poem because I could express everything I wanted.

Poetry & The Rain

It's been really rainy here and that's where I get my writing inspiration a lot of the time.

October 3rd

Be nice. c:

This isn't about literal actual scars. "Thoughts could leave deeper scarring than almost anything else." -J.K. Rowling

If the World Ends...

This was inspired by my favorite book The Great Gatsby.

Stars & Your Eyes

I look up and see you.You're the most beautiful in the universe.And I think you're perfect.You break my heart and I can't breathe.I want to stand on tip toes and kiss everyone of you.I want to live everyday waiting for the night to come.So I can see you shine.It's the only thing that gives me hope.I..

I Will Not Forget

I write this about a week ago. Just never got around to posting it until now.

You Were My Favorite

I have written more poems in this past week than I have in a lifetime. Here is one of the newest.

I Can't

This is about me. I haven't been able to write or barely even think all week.

To Be Continued

This is a continuation of my earlier poem White Walls. I would read that one first if you haven't. I really like this and I thought it was a neat idea. Enjoy.

I Saw Him, I Promise

This was inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem. Three guesses which one.

Time Moves On and I Do Too

I really like this one. I got the idea from a Longfellow poem.

Hands, so Small

This just came to me today at school.

Unknown

I found a picture with a bunch of graves that had the word 'unknown' carved into them. It was my inspiration. That and some Ralph Waldo Emerson.

You

I wrote this for my boyfriend for his birthday. He loved it and I hope you do too. c:

Empty

Everyone at school is gone on a band trip and my classes are boring so I wrote this today. The empty school was my inspiration. c:

"Forever", he said.

I sort of just came up with this. Just jotted it down. Thought I should share it.

Repeat

I know I said no more poems for a while but this one came to me and I can't just leave it in my notebook.

Second chapter of my book Things I Wish I Never Knew

December 31, 2012 11:59 p.m. New Years Eve

This is the first chapter of my book Things I Wish I Never Knew

Things I Wish I Never Knew

This is my book Things I Wish I Never Knew. The chapters go by date. The genre says contemporary literature. I don't really know if it is or not. I just didn't know what to put there.

Maybe

I was having an inner battle. I'm still not too sure who won. Me or me.

Trying to Sleep by Myself

This was inspired by something I saw or heard someone say. I can't really remember. This is sort of intended to be a conversation. I hope you understand that. Enjoy. Be nice. c:

I Still Think of You

This has been a work in progress for months. I finally finished it. It took me forever to find the right words to use.
