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.)

You’re a vivid CYAN

In a sea of LAVENDER.

And I wonder if you know

That your KISS tastes of

AMETHYST.

-S.Lilobell (A HUE so bright it blinds the SUN.)

“It’s becoming more difficult to walk past the mirrors in my house. Each day it’s harder to recognize the person staring back at me.”

-S.Lilobell (A broken person speaking to herself.)

Renouncing A Title.

When the Knights came,

In shiny silver armor,

She would frown

And turn them away.

And when the Prince’s came,

On their valiant white steads,

She left the window

With nothing more to say.

The Suitors came next,

With their well written verses.

But she knew too well

Of loves evil curses…

…Oh but when the Dragons came,

The princess finally left her tower.

Leaving behind the fairytale rose,

To become a WILDFLOWER.

-S.Lilobell (Heavy is the head that wears the crown.)

We were never cut from the same minerals.

You came from a world of sharp jewels that cut to the bone.

And I grew from soft soil,

With only beautiful petals to show for it.

-S.Lilobell (Turns out you can’t turn a Rose into a Ruby.)

I was never like you

And for a long time that confused me

Because all I wanted was to be

Part of your world.

-S.Lilobell (But I could never be the ruby you wanted.)

Cyclical Human Beings

There’s not much you can say to seasonal people.

Temporary words stay longer than they do and

The December air is too crisp for their never ending need for change.

Their blankets of fall get tucked away before winter is even over

And no amount of warmth will keep them near for summer.

So what can really be said to someone who leaves a mountain of avalanches in their wake?

“Stay close for the seasons have more to offer than the rivers you’re used to…”

Or maybe something with a little less substance?

“There’s a bonfire tonight and a s’more with your name on it…”

Maybe it’s useless to try and contain running water like them.

They’re made of iron slivers that will leave you with a mess of wounds to clean

And a fountain of new anxieties that will never let you sleep in peace again.

So instead, say goodbye before ever saying hello to a Cyclical Human Being…

-S.Lilobell (They won’t stay long enough to hear your farewell otherwise.)
