Liz's Poems
The Battle
One minute you say
“I love you.”
The next I find you
Love someone else.
One minute I think
I'm someone special.
The next I think
You would rather me be dead.
The darkness consumes me
But you don't care.
If you want me dead
Here is the blade.
I'm tired of you saying one thing
But doing another.
I try to prove
That I can be your perfect girl.
But I feel like
I can't change your mind.
Don't you understand
I'm different?
Now I feel everyone
Would be happier without me.
You tore out my heart
But it seems you don't care.
When you are drunk
You say things I hope you mean.
I know I can't change my mom's mind
But why can't we try.
I know I'm yesterday's news
But I can be tomorrow's headlines.
I feel like I'm torn
Between my heart and my brain.
My brain says
You are like a fire.
You will spread
Until you consume all of me.
My heart says
You are like ocean waves.
You will carry me
Until we reach the horizon.
Why can't the feeling go away?
Why can't the pain subside?
Tell me what you want
Before all my blood spills.
The only thing I know
Is I know nothing.
I'm stuck between
Mom and you.
Mom is like a brick wall
No matter what I do nothing changes.
You are like a window.
I can see you
But no matter how much
I try I can't get you.
“I love you.”
The next I find you
Love someone else.
One minute I think
I'm someone special.
The next I think
You would rather me be dead.
The darkness consumes me
But you don't care.
If you want me dead
Here is the blade.
I'm tired of you saying one thing
But doing another.
I try to prove
That I can be your perfect girl.
But I feel like
I can't change your mind.
Don't you understand
I'm different?
Now I feel everyone
Would be happier without me.
You tore out my heart
But it seems you don't care.
When you are drunk
You say things I hope you mean.
I know I can't change my mom's mind
But why can't we try.
I know I'm yesterday's news
But I can be tomorrow's headlines.
I feel like I'm torn
Between my heart and my brain.
My brain says
You are like a fire.
You will spread
Until you consume all of me.
My heart says
You are like ocean waves.
You will carry me
Until we reach the horizon.
Why can't the feeling go away?
Why can't the pain subside?
Tell me what you want
Before all my blood spills.
The only thing I know
Is I know nothing.
I'm stuck between
Mom and you.
Mom is like a brick wall
No matter what I do nothing changes.
You are like a window.
I can see you
But no matter how much
I try I can't get you.
