“Maybe I wanted the world to see me because I’m still waiting for you to.”
-S.Lilobell (Am I beautiful to you yet?)
I want to kiss you
Until all you can see
Is a land full of stars
And a sky full of galaxies.
-S.Lilobell (Only then will you know what I mean when I say “I love you.”)
Heart shaped bruises
And lullaby tears.
Whisper more excuses
So no one can hear
All of your broken screams
And mangled up fear.
Call it LOVE
But the damage is clear.
-S.Lilobell (Abusive words are more sincere.)
“I need someone to understand that I get incredibly cold sometimes and it’ll take more than your warmth to pull me from those depths.”
-S.Lilobell (An ocean of thoughts and I’m drowning.)
It was you.
In the middle of the night
With only a sigh in the air,
It was you.
-S.Lilobell (How could it ever be anyone else?)
“His kiss tasted of warm vanilla and bloody tea leaves. Intoxicating to the mind but deadly to the soul…
… And I let him devour me.”
-S.Lilobell (Poison is just love, coated to perfection.)
Make Believe
Let’s pretend that you’re never like this.
That self loathing and pity
Aren’t the only things riddling your mind
Come morning time.
That by nightfall you’re not a
Boiling pot of hatred and disgust for the day.
Let’s pretend that you don’t exist
Just for the negativity to eat away at you.
That somewhere along the way you don’t
Expect everything to go up in flames
And for people to leave you as fast as
The ash in the wind does.
I know it’s hard to pretend to such extremes,
To act like the world isn’t against you
And every action isn’t meant to break you.
But for one moment let’s just pretend,
That some day you can be whole again…
That some day you’ll find yourself again.
-S.Lilobell (We’re all just playing make believe anyway.)
“I am roaming in a lost world, hoping to find something that doesn’t exist.”
-S.Lilibell (I will look for you everywhere.)
To The Marrow
Despite this scorching water
There’s a chill that cuts straight to my bones.
Maybe I’m hollowed out
And that’s what brings this lucid coldness.
Just a ghost living in a lifeless corpse.
The only skeletons left are the ones in your closet
And I wonder if you think of me
When you dance with them.
-S.Lilobell (Or have you moved on to warmer bodies?)
Ocean eyes staring back at me and all of a sudden I feel the water in my lungs, drowning me in your “love”.
-S.Lilobell (These waves are pulling me under.)
“You won’t find my name at the bottom of that bottle…”
-S.Lilobell (Nor is it on the lips of those strangers you kiss.)
“I don’t lose things, I lose people.”
-S.Lilobell (A seven word story.)
I clung to you as though your love was the only thing my lungs wanted to breathe in.
But you got claustrophobic within my arms and took a step back,
Fearful that my fire would engulf your soul if given the chance...
...And you weren't ready for that.
-S.Lilobell (This is what a dying flame feels like.)
“You looked at me and suddenly my pen had a voice…
…And I had lost mine.”
-S.Lilobell (Oh the kind of magic in those eyes.)
“What do you do when each breath of oxygen feels like it’s mocking you?”
-S.Lilobell (Life is a fucking joke.)
I take a breath
And there you are.
A whisper of TRUTH
And then you go.
What does it take
To keep a GALAXY
Like you?
-S.Lilobell (Looking to the stars in hopes of an answer.)
“Maybe she left because she’s used to everyone leaving her…
…And she saw it in your eyes too.”
-S.Lilobell (Blue looks like goodbye.)
“Take me to the edge of BLISS
And let me chew on your DESPAIR.
I’m craving a PAIN that reminds me of
LOVE.”
-S.Lilobell (When you’ve been starved of affection for too long.)
Faulty Lips
I’ll never say it
Because to say
“I care”
Is not enough and yet
Too much all at once.
Words with weight have been
Flung around too often and
“I love you”
Can mean only for one night.
It holds no merit,
Whispered from
Faulty lips.
I don’t want artificial emotions
Hand crafted as pick up lines,
There’s no depth in it.
No I need real,
Uncut,
Pure
L
O
V
E.
The kind people kill for..
-S.Lilobell (Excerpts from a dream I once had.)
With your hands on my face,
I’m breathing you in…
I could live forever in your atmosphere.
-S.Lilobell (When stardust falls in love.)
