Persephone Springs Poems

She came to him one day and said
That She wished to fly
He met her gaze and shook his head
And begged her not to try
...

A broken window will want repair
And a broken arm must be treated with care
But what happens to a broken heart?
...

Welcome to the island of misfit toys
a place for unwanted girls and boys
a place where everyone cares, and no one is rejected
a beautiful place where no flaw is corrected
...

I know that I'm not supposed to cry over a boy
I know that I should be independent
But my train-wreck of an ego was depending on you
I have never opened myself up to anyone because it's easier
...

I want to thank you for all you taught me
I spent 4 days,3 hours, and 20 minutes crying over you
That was 4 days,3 hours, and 20 minutes I could have used to get over you
That was wasted time
...

'Goodnight'
'Goodnight'
She wants to say 'I love you' but can't
She can't because 'love' means falling, and she's afraid of heights
...

When you feel like no one loves you,
Who do you run to?
When you've fallen apart and driven everyone away,
Who will hold you?
...

He calls me at 4am
He's never awake past 1
Not unless something bad happened
Something bad happened
...

For me it will always be more than just a kiss
Every single touch means so much more when you didn't get to chose your first-
First kiss
First time
...

2 letters that changed a million things
2 letters
2 letters that taught me that I was worth more
Worth more than the cuts on my wrist, the blood on my hands, and the tears on my face
...
