Burning Remains (a poem)

{Here is the longer version of an open mic poem I posted on Instagram earlier today. For all of you who have only read my “broken heart” poems, you might be surprised by this. Enjoy!}

Home for the dead
But no one ever visits them
Instead, they go out to see us
Broken spirits who can’t leave this plane
Leave the existence that killed them
Leave this place behind
They haunt us
They are always here
The ancient ones
The headstones are cracked
Covered in moss
Drenched in the tears of pain
The dead have shed
In the form of the pouring rain
All around us
We feel the cold of their ghosts
The lost ones
The forgotten
Who can’t remember their own names
But remember the ones who
Scarred them
Evrn in death those feelings linger
Like a malignant tumor on the soul
That’s why they stay
To make it right
To get revenge
Maybe if we thought to
Remember them
We wouldn’t have to
Burn their bones
Maybe if we thought of them
They could rest in peace

Stay In My Heart (a poem)

I want to let the tears out
They’re hiding right behind
My eyes
But they won’t fall
No matter how much pain they cause
My heart
‘Cuz deep down I know
I can’t cry you out

You’re a part of me now
Inside every part
You’re there
And crying won’t let you out
Screaming won’t do a thing
I tried to get rid of you
A long damn time ago
But you just stood
Made yourself comfortable
In my heart
And that’s where you
Decided to stay

You haunt me
Like the ghosts you’re always chasing
I’ll never catch you, though
You’ll float here forever
Eternally lost inside
This labyrinth that I call a heart
Causing these emotions
I don’t understand
I can’t exorcise
Your image from my mind
But deep down I know
I would never want to anyway

You’re a part of me now
Inside every part
You’re there
And crying won’t let you out
Screaming won’t do a thing
I tried to get rid of you
A long damn time ago
But you just stood
Made yourself comfortable
In my heart
And that’s where you
Decided to stay

You let yourself in
With barely a request
I should never have accepted
But how could I have refused?
Wee don’t choose who we keep inside of
Our broken, shattered hearts
You just realize one day
That this person you never imagined
Could mean so much to you
Is here to stay
And you never want then to leave

You’re a part of me now
Inside every part
You’re there
And crying won’t let you out
Screaming won’t do a thing
I tried to get rid of you
A long damn time ago
But you just stood
Made yourself comfortable
In my heart
And that’s where you
Decided to stay

Divination (a blog by me for @DarkMediaOnline )

I wrote a blog nearly a year ago for http://www.darkmedia.com about communicating with spirits using a divining crystal. If you’re interested in the paranormal (or just have a “Ghost Hunters” fascination haha) please feel free to read.

This is a TRUE story. I did not fabricate a thing. It was quite an exciting experience. Please also feel free to share the link to others who might be interested in the paranormal.

A Small Note From Moi…

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to thank you all for the likes, follows and views. I’ve only been on this blog for over a day and already I feel like this was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career and social networking life.

I am who I am: the strange young woman who wears all black, listens to rock music, likes to look for ghosts, believes vampires are real and, oh yes, loves to write.

On this blog I will keep everyone updated on what’s going on in my budding career as a novelist and poet, and also I will post poetry and, sometimes, random thoughts like the thoughts you are reading right this moment.

Thank you all for reading and following. One day, I pray that this will all be worth it.

❤ LL
