I want to break you, but don't ask me why
The words, they spew
like a venomous snake, provoked and ready to strike
Words that are true, too hurtful to share
Flaws in personality, appearance, demeanor
Flaws that are out of your control
But I share them with you anyway
Because I want to break you
I want to break you like I've broken glass
out of anger, jealousy, hate
I want to watch you smash into the ground and shatter
into a million little pieces
so that you can't
put yourself back together
I want to break you, but don't ask me why
Like a starving rat feeding on her own
My answer is predictably selfish
I want you to hate m
I'd never met anyone as tormented
as you
As strange as it seems
I was intrigued
You were fascinated by me
also
and scared
like I was amazingly better
than you
Nobody had treated me like that before
I was so drawn to you
I thought I could change you
help you to think
live
and love differently
I couldn't
you wouldn't let me
but I wanted to
I wanted to fix you

reserved
outdoorsy
we flirted

I resisted
but we were both tempted
we messed around
once
after a crazy night
and a few too many beers
I said 'never again'

he is nothing like my dad
I've been waiting for you,
Yes, you.
The one who can take some and pitch some back,
With a sense of humor to match mine,
And willing to playfully argue.
Yes, you.
The one brave enough to speak his mind,
Not afraid of emotion, including his own,
And an ability to be sensitive, too.
Yes, you.
The one intelligent enough to contribute,
To keep the conversation alive,
And with goals he wishes to pursue.
Yes, you.
The one with the charmingly crooked smile,
The intently observing eyes,
And welcoming arms to climb into.
Yes, you.
The one patient enough to put up with me,
To love me even at my worst,
Because I would do the same fo
Just a box of Earl Grey tea
Delicate in its simplicity
As are the memories flashing back
Love was in her eyes, her hugs, her smiles
A contagious laugh that could be heard for miles
For a sense of humor she did not lack
Her strength was admirable, though easily frightened
There was no room she could not brighten
With her charming British tact
A home-cooked meal worthy of praise
Tea biscuits to follow with a flawless glaze
A remarkable chef, and that's a fact
But her Earl Grey tea was the most heavenly
So delicate in its simplicity
It will forever bring her back

Crimson Red Lipstick by sarahbeara1990, literature

Crimson Red Lipstick
Her favorite tube of crimson red lipstick
stood with much poise amongst the other shades,
as it always had.
This voluptuous color exudes sophistication;
helps her to feel
beautiful,
desirable,
elegant.
Everything she needed
an ostentatious flush of red provided.
As the first silky coat glided over her lips
she stood taller, prouder, with more confidence.
Nothing could get in her way
once her lips were plumped in crimson.
She was the most astonishing her she could be.

We would always go to the same place,
our own secret spot out by the river,
but not because it was romantic.
Sneaking around was exciting in itself,
and we were forced to get creative;
to have an adventure.
We'd sit silently at first,
like what we were about to do was wrong.
It wasn't.
You were different;
eager yet charmingly polite.
You never pushed but you were always ready.
I was absolutely in love with you then.
I remember the days the rain would be pounding down on your POS pick-up truck,
and we'd steam up the windows.
It used to make you laugh.
And the days I thought I would die of heat exhaustion...
yeah, those were
I've watched your life crumble beneath you
Your world crashing down
Every bit of happiness drained from you
As I slowly began to drown
Your misery crushes my shoulders
Your troubles become mine
While my weakened heart turns colder
You push to find the line
How far will someone go for you
Who will really care
These questions you are dying to know
They take over you
I'm scared
I've tried and tried and tried
To be the voice of reason
To love you no matter what
To get you through the treason
But my efforts to you are meaningless
Nothing I say is heard
You are trapped inside your own self pity
I cannot speak a word
I wake exha
I want to break you, but don't ask me why

like a venomous snake, provoked and ready to strike

Goodbye, angel
it was never meant to be
But when it gets lonely up there in heaven
I hope you'll think of me
And when the stars come out
at the end of another long day
I'll think of you and how you never looked back
as you flew away..

I've never considered myself to be a right-brained person and that may be because I've always been better with math and science. However, as of late my creative side has been shining through. I know I have a lot of growing to do, and I most definitely do not consider myself to be amazing, but I hope to be in the near future!
