There is
no way
to escape
the sadness
of the soul.
It is an
unfulfilled
desire, trying
to deny this
overbearing
loneliness.
I pushed
you away,
into the corners
of my mind
where the memory
of you died.

Your Only Doll
You dug your fingers into my
Skin. Forcing your way deep into
An empty shell full of disintegrated ashes
Sewing broken pieces together.
You didn't care if they fit.
Your favorite toy.

Keep you warm from
The frozen wasteland you
Hid inside your burning body.

Tell me do you like what you see?
A smile will creep from under your
Splintered lips unveiling fractured teeth
You don't like what you see.
You laugh as you burn my insides
To ashes. Tomorrow we'll play again
Sometimes I wish I wasn't your
Only doll.

I am the teen who ignores her peers
I am me
I am the one who says "please help me" and gets ignored
I am the girl no one likes
I am the one who goes against everyone else's "right"
I am the sad girl that can't stop the pain she feels
I am me
I am the one who asks you "Who are you?"

Bittersweet
"Darling, what makes you love me?" The question is so simply stated, in her purple velvet voice, as she reclines in his strong arms, and lets the bittersweet smoke caress their limbs, pulling them closer together.
His long inhale, as the toxins coat the soft tissue of his black lungs, is audible, as he mulls over the question before answering.
"I love how you can make insanity look beautiful." He states, recreating the day he came home, in his mind. The day he found her telling stories to the static on the television. The day he started to question if his joking label of "crazy" may possibly ring true.
"I love how I can tell when you're ha

Your style is one I am not used to.
You use very small phrases (per line) for your poetry, but I am getting used to it,
