Alice's Poem Shanty

[Apocalypse Alice]

Forever - Why It Hurts


Loving someone with your whole heart


Is like loving them into forever


Giving them enough love to last forever


Gives them all of your soul


And then they take it


And they break it


And you're left without a soul

 

[Apocalypse Alice]

Don't You All Know


I know


I have always known


The trail of aching I leave behind myself


Paving a way of hurt, of suffering


Who I am and what I've done


What it is that I've become


I know


I have always known


I am loud


Angry and jaded I have always shouted against the wind


Vulnerable and afraid I have always grasped at straws


I know


I have always known


Those poisonous lies that dripped from your lips


Those looks and glances that even I could read


Those rumors and stories


Did you not think I could hear you?


Did you not think I could see you?


Do you think I know not what I've done?


I know


I will always know

Your writing is much different than mine, so it takes some getting use to but I think it is very unique to you. Keep up the good work

Would you like feedback? Following a recent outburst by a member who doesn't appreciate my efforts to help people improve, I've decided to ask before opening my mouth.

 

[Heather]

I really like your poems. Something different from what I read though so unique its amazing.

 

[Apocalypse Alice]

Lament


How foolish I have been


The creature locked inside my soul


Screaming to be released


Far from you her grip grows stronger


Yet, it is I who fled from you


How foolish am I


You the flame, I the moth


You the victim, I the monster


You the demon, I the pilgrim


You the master, I the slave


I,


The fool


Would I turn back time


Had I the power


To stand by your side against the storm


O how quickly I would fall into your arms again


Yet my heart is weak


My mind and will are shattered


Were I to touch you, would I flee again?


Would I fall again? Fail again?


Doomed to life without you


To love without you


I fall


She grins


The silence is deadening


Your heartbeat the drumming in my ears


Fading until there is silence


What a fool am I


 
A Second Lament


Stained


We do not forget or forgive


We remember


Black and vile it was


Volatile it was


And yet warm


Blood and comfort


Bone and bristled


Perfection


O you burned to touch


O you burned your way into my memory


I fall


Falling falling falling


I will always be falling


The further I fall from you


The greater Her hold grasps at my heart


The darker my vision becomes


The deeper I plummet


Without you


 
To Her


How can I live


With you on my mind


Time after time I remember


Your hands


Your eyes


Your words


Your lies


How can I live with the bitersweet flavor


On my lips, your lips were here, once


O but you owned my soul


O but you owned my body


O but you owned everything I was


And you still do


Though you have your own way now


You do


Though I stand far from you


To save you


You still do


 
Stars


With trembling hands I reached


Hearing only the sounds of insecurity


Yet I reached harder still


And when my hands were close to the stars


Reaching, reaching


Every hope glimmered within


Never so brighter than just then


Then, when I could hold starlight in my hand


Yet the light was incorporeal


Only goddesses can kiss the sun


Unless I too am a goddess, I cannot


Petrified by my failures


Reaching


Outstretching my arms


Under the weight of my shame


Down I plummeted


Out of the beautiful sky


Far from the stars


My lips let out a silent cry


Even you did not hear it.


 
Untitled


I walked a thousand miles


And though my feet were weary I continued


In hope of finding a home


That had already been destroyed


 
Srsly Jk: A Poem


Roses are red


Violets are blue


So are deez nuts


I blame it on you
