My childhood trauma didn't make me stronger. it made me a people pleaser. it made me forgive way too much. it made me not speak when i'm supposed to. it made me an extreme empath.

A Dead Poet's Cry
I saw this girl the other day
And it felt like I had seen her before
As if I'd known her somewhere in some way
She smiled when she saw me
And I knew that's what she did for everyone
That was the thing about her,
She loved smiles; it reminded her of battles won
But there was something wrong
She knew I could see it too
So she wore that smile further
But just for a moment there, it faltered
And just for a moment then, I could see through
I saw it all in front of me then; laid bare
How far she'd loved and how bad shed lost
How much she'd had to suffer, when all she'd done was care
I felt broken then, as if I were the one who'd been betrayed
I felt hurt on her behalf
I couldn't understand who would do this to someone
Who didn't deserve to cry, but to laugh
I felt angered ar that someone
And I think I knew who
And I wanted to hold her, and tell her
'don't leave, I still love you'
Something told me that's what she wanted to hear too
Just once, not for me or anyone else, but for THAT person to care
To whisper, 'don't worry, I'm not going anywhere'
I reached out; to be that person for her, i tried
But the closer I got, the worse, for the loss, she cried
They say she wears her grief well
Or is it the other way around?
Cause that's what they'd taught her to do
To bear it all, and yet, not make a sound
She assured me; 'its fine' she said
Even though it was clearly not
My heart hurt to see her
Waiting for someone who'd succumbed her to this rot
And I wondered if that's what love was
I'd never believed in it; now I detested it even more so
Because it has killed her alive
And even still refused to let her let go
I pleaded her to forget; to somehow just live
But she just shook her head sadly
And I knew there was nothing left in her to give
I saw it slipping
Her facade giving away
And I saw what once was beautiful
Fading with people who didn't stay
What justice is this, I asked
I wondered why she so stubbornly held on
There came that smile again, full of pain and loss,
And something told me, she's never accept they're gone
Her eyes dimmed then
And her smile finally dropped
Tears rushed to fill her eyes to the brim
And my heart just stopped
And she stared back at me
The girl behind the glass
Her hope had been the end of her
Her innocence, her love, her smile, now gone
Lost somewhere in the blur
#i will always love you#i cant live without you#you were my home#jmj#love will remember#i want you back i need you#tell me that you love me#loved and lost#heartbreak cuts like poisoned knife#death by a thousand cuts#i die a little every second without you#wish you had cared enough to not hurt me so#i wish you would realise that we're worth holding onto#if this was a movie#the story of us#bleeding on paper#poets on tumblr#dont leave me like this i thought i had you figured out#can't breathe whenever you're gone#can't turn back now im HAUNTED!!#what happened to when you used to say i was your lifeline??!#i still love you

Why would you?
Why? Why would you do this to me?
Why, when you said that you loved me too,
Did you kill that love so brutally
Why? Why would you do this to me?
When I had given you everything I had
Why then would you treat me like trash just tossed away carelessly
Why? Why would you do this to me?
When you could've stayed
The love of my life, the person in all my dreams,
Why then is this the person you chose to be
Why? Why would you do this to me?
Why would you be so cruel as to say
It's my fault for getting hurt by loving you one sidedly
Why? Why would you do this to me?
Why would you show me everything I could ever have hoped for
Just to snatch it away suddenly
Why? Why would you do this to me?
When you said you couldn't see life without me
Why then would you walk away so easily
Why? Why would you do this to me?
Why would you go ahead and stomp all over my heart?
I wonder,
Did that set you free?
**original poem**
#i cant live without you#love will remember#i still love you#dont leave me like this#jmj#literature#poetry#come back to me#if this was a movie#right where you left me#if you can’t love them then at least don’t harm them#i still miss you#bleeding on paper#poets on tumblr#writers and poets#if you could just come back youd have me waiting for you with the same love as always#you were my home#heartache#heartbroken#what happened to when you used to say i was your lifeline??!#where did all the time go#what if what if what if#right person wrong time#i can't recognise you anymore💔#we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again#sorry for being depressing#be mine again

Why did you have to??
Why did you have to hurt me like this
Why did you have to walk away
Why did you have to push me off the cliff
When it could've been us at the end of the day
Why did you have to sharp your words so
And pierce that dagger into my heart
Why did you have to push me down so bad
And leave me bleeding and torn apart
Why did you have to break me like this
Why did you choose to
Why did you have to punish me like this
When all I had done was love you
Why did you have to go
And cripple my crumpled hope
Why did you have to leave me
Now willing to hang on the other side of the rope
Why did you have to-
Why did you have to do any of it AT ALL??
Why. when I would've stayed
When I'm stilling waiting for you in empty halls
**original poem**
#i think i'll miss you forever#i still love you#love will remember#jmj#i cant live without you#come back be here#poetry#spilled words#bleeding on paper#heartbreak cuts like poisoned knife#please stay#heartache#dont leave me like this#i wish i could stop myself from falling for you all thise months back#i wish i could've stopped myself from falling for you all those months back

Tennyson was so wrong when he said,
"'Tis Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"
dude no.
Would've been better to never have loved at all than to have lost-!

It's You
You say, " Tell me who is he? Maybe I can help you out! " While all i can do is stare at you Knowing you're the one I was talking about
And maybe you'll say, "I'll tell him exactly how sweet you are-"
While I'll smile in all of my misery, knowing I'll always be admiring from afar.
Oh-oh-oh love is twisted that way
Oh-oh-oh I wish I knew how to sayy
THATS ITS YOU
Who's got my heart blue
And Who knew?
That you'd be my best view!
No, you don't have a clue
The one breaking my heart into two
Oh it's you.
The only one I wish to pursue
But I guess I'll just be waiting in a queue.
With you, in my mind, like a tattoo
Never thought it could be true
But yes, it's you.
And I'm here seeing this through
Hoping against hope that you'll say you love me too.
#back when i didnt have you#one sided love#feels like a lifetime ago#i cant live without you#i wish i could've stopped myself from falling for you all those months back#i wish you would realise that we're worth holding onto#but most importantly i wish i could stop you from leaving now#i still love you#i still miss you#i will always love you#jmj#come back be here#poetry#literature#aesthetic#bookworm#love will remember#writing#poets on tumblr

Right Person, Wrong Time
I guess, it was the wrong time, the wrong age
The right intentions, but the wrong place
The moment you left
Nay! were forced to leave
My breath died and
My heart slipped down my sleeve
Then it came
The sickening grief
Pushing me closer to death
And further away from relief
They told me to try
To live and survive
But the pain consumed me
When I had no reason to stay alive
Others hurt me first
Then you killed me more
I didn't want to believe it
But you left me crying on the floor
But when you love someone
There's this thing I suppose
Where for their own good
You can't always hold them close
I understood then
What you were trying to do
Pushing me away to leave
By making me hate you
But there was one thing you forgot
That a love like ours
Couldn't possibly vanish this way
When our forever is written in the stars
They say, "all's fair in love and war"
So these storms and battles now
We'll tide over them too
To you, that is my vow
I will make it right, our love that was wronged
For it's always been you, who my heart has longed
*original poem*
#right person wrong time#i wish you would realise that we're worth holding onto#i want you back i need you#you're my will to live if you leave i-#you were my home#give me back the you that i knew#i love you even still#jmj#loved and lost#i cant live without you#love will remember#back to december#tell me that you love me#we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again#what happened to when you used to say i was your lifeline??!#i believe in us#if you can’t love them then at least don’t harm them#if you could just come back youd have me waiting for you with the same love as always#dont leave me like this#cant breathe whenever you're gone#i miss you#i think i'll love your forever#osito come back#come back to me loverboy#writers and poets#all is fair in love and war

(Just One) Last Time
Just one last time
Just one last look
Before I have to pretend that I'm fine;
Before you tear off your page from my book
Just one last word
Just one last caress
Before you leave me unheard;
Before you ask me to love you less
Just one last touch
Just one last contact of eyes
Before you decide I was too much;
Before the final goodbyes
Just one last time, tell me that you love me
Just one last time, tell me that you still care
Before you ignore my plea;
Before you leave me hurting everywhere
*original poem*
#i think I'll love your forever#right person wrong time#love will remember#poets on tumblr#jmj#come baaaaaaack#please stay#i cant live without you#right where you left me#love will find a way#he is the loml#i still love you#if this was a movie#rewrite the stars#i need him#sorry for being depressing#the story of us#haunted#come back be here#death by a thousand cuts#i miss you#aesthetic#bookworm#spilled words#dont leave yet#heartache#im dying#heartbroken#what if#you left me cold

I had lived, but, in fear...
Of what would happen if I stepped on the wrong stone, if I stumble.
If I fall

My life will forever remain a blank sheet,
For I have said no words, expressed no emotions and felt nothing real.

And she smiled to herself
For after all this time,
She was finally whole
Finally complete.

When there was light, I wasn't afraid
When there was no such fear as I now face
And my borders crumbled
And the the tears I couldn't contain.
But the masks never stumbled
They've been in place.
No one sees the horror more than I
For it lies behind the lies
I'd rather have it die.
