#heartbreak poetry

LIVE

i was driving down the road yesterday
leaves falling like broken promises you made me
for some unknown reason
i found myself locking eyes with strangers 
wondering for a spilt second
if i might ever see you again 
after awhile of blank stares
i found myself disappointed 
just like the last time
i heard you say i love you 

-KS 

I said go, and you just walked away.

Venus de Roux

You’re the 11:11 that rang true.

Wishing on you

You are too well tangled within me. Every cell in my heart holds some of you darling. The only way to unlove you would would be to rip it straight from my chest. Even then, it may still beat on.

Eternity is not long enough

You could be the most perfect woman in the world, and he the perfect man. That does not mean you are the perfect people for each other.

Venus de Roux

You cannot build a life around another person. People come when they are ready, and they leave when it is their time. Nothing in life is permanent except yourself.

Venus de Roux

“Just one of those right guy wrong time situations.”

Venus de Roux

“Teach your children that their words are much stronger than their fists will ever be.”

The bruises no one will see

“Never try to cage a girl with eyeliner that sharp.”

Venus de Roux

It left a hole in my heart for better things to come.

You weren’t worthy of me (pt. 2)

A part of me died that day when I told myself, “There are greater things in life than the love of a single man.”

You weren’t worthy of me (pt. 1)

Be my skin,

be my bones.

Be the only thing I ever did know.

Part of a work in progress

The kind of girl who drives 30 miles over the limit when she’s alone, and 10 under when you’re there.

You’re the sweetest thing in this world

“Back then all I wanted to be was yours.”

They asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up

I look into my morning coffee and think, the only thing darker was the look in your eyes, the reflection of your soul, when you looked at me.

Venus de Roux

Don’t get too close. This is a wild fire that lives to burn.

Venus de Roux

Sometimes I imagine I’m a tiger in a circus cage. Threatened with whips and chains to perform tricks for your enjoyment. But could you really blame me if I let my wild free?

It’s a ticking time bomb baby
