make me

shut my mouth

pull my hair

take control

make me pay

make me scream

part my thighs

grip my throat

do what you want

make me submit

make me your whore

bite my neck

spank my ass

throw me around

make me take it

make me beg

His and Hers

his lips traveled down

teasing

tasting

her back arches as she aches for more

her hands gripped the sheets

writhing

begging

his mouth finds that perfect spot

his tongue flicks out

swirling

devouring

her eyes close as she feels only bliss

her lips part

moaning

screaming

his eyes meet hers as she falls apart

Love Myself

how do i learn to love myself

when i can’t even look in a mirror

without seeing

that i’m not pretty

i’m too thin to be truly fat

i’m too fat to be truly thin

i don’t have eyes you want to drown in

or a smile to brighten a day

i don’t have curves for days

or a body a tongue wants to explore

how do i learn to love myself

when i can’t stand to be alone

without seeing

that i’m nothing

i’m too nerdy to be cool

i’m a second choice, an afterthought

i don’t ignite a fire

or stoke the flames of desire

i don’t have any skills

or anything that makes me worthwhile

how do i learn to love myself

when there is just nothing to love

I see

oh honey

i see your tears

i know you’re hurting

screaming for a chance to feel seen

i know it feels like you’re alone

i know you’re trying your best

but that it never feels like enough

i know you hate your reflection

i know you just want to feel pretty

but instead you just gaze on in misery

i know you love romance

i know you want that kind of love

but darling you aren’t destined for that

i know you feel like a burden

i know you put on that front

but sweetheart you’re dying inside

i know you want to change

i know you hate yourself

but you keep moving on

i know you

i see you

i am you

Personality

my personality is a shield

this warmth armor

my smile a mask

my laughter a sword

against the world

who doesn’t care

against the town

that isn’t home to me

against this life

that is determined to end me

Love

some people aren’t meant to be loved

they love, fuck do they love

but they aren’t destined for it

thats the thing about life

sometimes the ones that give the most

the ones that feel the most

are just never enough

the girl that tries her best

the boy that loves with every breath

they embody love

but they aren’t meant for it

why?

why can’t I be meant for love?

alive

she gasped

her eyes opening

and before her stood life

she finally saw the whisper of clouds

felt the sun as it kissed her cheeks

she saw the world in a new light

a beautiful light

before it was like a fog

she was live but not

she would go outside

and only see if it were night or day

but now, now she has awoken

that piece thought lost is found

she‘s alive

how lovely

their eyes as green and vast

as the forest they explore

eyes that light up

like lightening in a storm

their smile shines bright

like a beacon in the night

a smile that melts

even the harshest of sorrows

their laugh a song

one that never goes too long

a laugh that wraps around you

like the warmest embrace

their soul a work of art

one that could never be bought

a soul that battles the demons

like a warrior of the heart

oh, how lovely they are

To learn from my mistakes I must...
Pretty much anything goes. Go as in-depth with your mistakes as you would like, but don't be afraid to be figurative when necessary. Poem does not, of course, need to have the exact title in the work.

Mistakes

to learn from my mistakes

I must endure

the pain

the torment

the scars

I must take

the pain

the torment

the scars

and build armor from it

I must use the armor

make it

my protection

my reminder

my fortress

so that I may be able

to grow

to learn

to thrive

as I go forward

to learn from my mistakes

I must use my struggles

to make me

smarter

stronger

better

do you wish we were strangers?

Strangers

do you wish we were strangers

never lovers nor friends?

would trading all the memories

be worth being happy again?

would not knowing your touch

keep us out of this rut?

or were we destined to be

and destroy the peace?

if we were strangers

would you wish to start anew?

without the scars we have now

would it we be a dream come true?

or was our destiny always laid out

no way out but through pain?

do you wish we were strangers?

because sometimes I do
