Ever since I can remember,
My parents have had signs outside my house to discourage people from coming in.
Until recently,
I thought nothing of it.
Then,
I am a house.
I put up signs outside,
To deter.
Make them run.
Most of the time,
It worked.
I’ve built up these walls that most people cannot get past.
But you?
You’re different.
You saw the signs,
Read them in every language,
And took them as a challenge.
You came in,
Effortlessly.
Almost like you had the code to my alarm.
My walls are coming down,
Sometimes,
It’s almost like I can feel my chest caving in.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
So muc
I always fall for the ones,
The ones who don’t give a shit.
Like you,
The one who said he loved me,
But put no effort in to us.
And you,
The one who said he wanted me,
But then,
I hear nothing from you.
Oh, and you,
The one who’s so outgoing in person,
But when we’re apart you go silent.
Is it me?
Or is it you?
Or am I just out of my mind,
To think that anyone,
Could want me?
No,
I don’t believe I am.
But this is how you make me feel.
When I’m sitting alone,
Questioning my worth on the shower floor.
As the water pours down on me,
Mingling with my tears.
I am,
In no sense of the word,
Worth
Shut up!
Shut Up!
SHUT UP!
My heart screams the words my mouth refuses to say,
As I listen to you blather on about her.
I can see she's hurting you,
I can see in the way you talk about her that she doesn't feel the same,
Ke---No.
I refuse to let her name leave my lips,
Because it hurts me.
Your heart opens when she's the focus,
But when she showed up,
Panic engulfed every inch of your being.
Laying on your chest,
Listening to the slow, rhythmic beating of your heart,
Music to my ears.
You were relaxed.
You could let go.
I wished I could sing you to sleep in the crowded theater,
But I let all my chances to tell you how I feel go.

Hi ^_^ I'm Alicia. I've been writing poetry ever since I can remember, and it's just always been an outlet for me. My poems can be light & fluffy, or dark & bloody. Whatever's your poison, you'll find it here eventually. So poke around here, the inner mechanisms of my mind, and I hope you're not too scarred when you get out. :)
