Lily Espinosa Poems

you rescued me from myself,
a true knight in shining armour,
I’d think of you and happy thoughts would follow in suit,
not a bad memory to hamper the perfect picture.
...

Some people when they're feeling down,
Turn to self abuse.
I don't need the knives to slash my wrists,
I don't need the flames to burn my protective shell,
...

Loving you is as natural as breathing,
As easy as speech,
As fulfilling as sleep,
And as boring as listening to a Lumpha.
...

My broken heart
Can no longer stand what I drag it through.
I watched it fall from a height so great
Over and over again,
...

Tears slide down her cheeks,
Quivering lips refuse to repress the sobs that follow,
She wants to appear strong,
No longer to carry this burden upon her brittle back.
...

Let me look into your blinding blue eyes babe
And feel myself melt away,
Harsh realities
Can wait for another day.
...

What becomes of a child,
Who is turned away by their mother?
Mentally abused by their father?
Are they left to wither into a bitter weed
...

What do you think, when you sneak those quick glances at me?
Settled in an indecipherable code
I'm left to wonder
ponder
...

Tangled
Entwined
Trapped
Helpless
...

Once upon a time i was the same,
I had everything to blame,
So now I'm happy and the time isn't right,
Now i don't want to fight.
...
