  Promises Are Dust

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  "I promise" F***…never mind Promises mean nothing anymore Based solely on how many I personally have turned my back to My promises mean as much as Dust in the wind, I no longer have my credibility To stand on, because I'd be in a world of nothing at that point How do I...

  Broken Heart

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  Today I realized, I can do nothing. I can't save her She can only do that herself. The most I can do is be here. The little things matter. Today I took her box-cutter, I taped it up next to the poster she made, Saying the scars are signs of a survivor. I'm just afraid that...

  Playing With Matches

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  I play with matches to escape to burn a hole in these paper walls to escape my chained existence. I feel something else inside, pushing to the surface. My internal opposite. The girl who takes risks, lies, and disobeys It sounds bad but it's freeing I have choices and power to get w...

  For Now It Dissapoints

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  I don't want to write for I do not know how. It's a skill I have yet to master. I pour my soul into words. They dance across the page. But not in the way I wanted. I play with words to try and tell you a story. To show you myself, but the message gets distorted. I don�...

  Treat Me Right

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  I can't say it to your face but.. I'm NOT sorry. I DON'T care. I may break your heart but mine was never in this. You're just a boy, A boy I thought I liked But now that I know you, I have uncovered something, I don't want. I'm not sorry this is how it ...

  Thoughts

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  Thoughts, tangled, entwined. My head. Clouded, crowded. Sleep, alludes me. Exhaustion, controls me. Nothing works, in my mind. Can't make decisions. Can't think straight. Losing my touch. Sharpness fading. I need ONE thing. Yet it refuses to come. ~~~~~~~~~...

  Enough To Destroy Me

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  Sometimes it's scary to write. My feelings exposed against the crisp white of a new paper. This notebook is my prized possession. Scraps of myself poured into words and written down. It's terrifying because I lose things. If I lose this, I would lose the pieces of me I tr...

  Perfect Fit

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  I can hear every breath you take every beat of your heart. It makes me feel safe. Entwined in your limbs never to be set free but that's okay with me. Our bare legs wrapped around each other comfortably laced together. I fit into you so effortlessly it seems you were made to ho...

  She Uses You

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  She uses her ignorance to get away with it. She uses her innocence to pull you in. She uses her cute look to make you assume. She uses her maturity to keep you. She uses her words, to control you. She uses herself to obey you. She uses her youth to justify. She uses her h...

  Lying

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  If lying was a class I would have a C. I'm average, no prodigy but you sir you exceed me. You lie like it's your job. Like it will do everything for you but go ahead, keep going. Keep it up. Keep digging yourself into that hole. Because I already know The Truth....

  A Place To Keep My Thoughts

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  Locked up from untrained eyes. Somewhere safe and secret. Only I have the key because only I can see the real thoughts. The others get a different version. No one is allowed into my secret space for my thoughts alone. Files filled with wishes and dreams. Bookcases filled with memories. ...

  Break

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  It starts as a crack A small sliver Something you don't notice. A pain less than a pinch. Then it starts to ebb The crack spreads tendrils You start to feel it, A dull ache. The original crack deepens Something bubbles up From it's bottom Now you feel it constantly. Anoth...

  Redemption

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  She struggles against her bonds Her arms are strapped at the wrists Thick leather bonds cross her chest and stomach Her ankles are shackled and bonded A gag is in her mouth cover by a muzzle The room is pitch dark But her mind plays tricks Things are moving in the dark Dancing in her visio...

  My Performance

  

  By kml91225, Dedham, MA

  Dance, Dance I say! I command. Flawlessly, without a thought my emotions flow through my body. Tingling in my right hand, fingertips come alive in anticipation. Effortlessly, my hand hovers and gracefully removes a pencil from the cluttered desk. Like lost lovers reunited, the pencil wa...
