Poetry/Lyrics

I've been writing poetry and lyrics since I was a kid. Obviously, my writing was really immature and . . . weird when I was super young. I had not yet known heartbreak. Once I discovered heartbreak and unrequited love, my writing became true, and therefore, good. Here are some of my personal poems and lyrics.

Love,
Elle Marie



Falling (Catch Me)






















Am I good enough, for your love,
Your touch?
Has my whole life led me here,
To this moment,
This moment I fear?

The truth is,
I don't know what "truth" is.
When I've been fed nothing but lies,
From people I once loved,
Who became people I despise.
Because I can't let go,
When they made me who I am today,
A broken girl,
Who doesn't know how to stay.

Can I trust you?
Will you trust me?
Can we make this work?
I want to make this work.

You're good to me,
Good for me.
Loving me,
Holding me.
I'm scared,
I grip so tightly,
To anything,
Everything.
To keep you,
Love you,
Hold you.
I'm brave,
I find myself falling for you.
Falling.
Trusting you to catch me.
Falling.
Baby, catch me.

Will my faults bring me to my knees,
Break everything,
All of me?
Can you accept the fact,
That I am a mess?
I can make you laugh,
Make you happy,
But I must confess...

I have insecurities,
That eat at the core of me,
And I try so hard to keep this smile,
But I'm nervous,
That you'll only feel this way for a short while.

Will you fight for me?
As I fight for you?
Work hard,
Like I'll work hard for you?
I'll do anything you want me to.

You're good to me,
Good for me.
Loving me,
Holding me.
I'm scared,
I grip so tightly,
To anything,
Everything.
To keep you,
Love you,
Hold you.
I'm brave,
I find myself falling for you.
Falling.
Trusting you to catch me.
Falling.
Baby, catch me.

It's all in my head,
I know that you,
You're different.
But I'm afraid to be brave,
To trust,
When my trust has been betrayed.
Will you catch me as I fall?
If I give you everything,
Give you my all?
Please catch me when I fall...

You're good to me,
Good for me.
Loving me,
Holding me.
I'm scared,
I grip so tightly,
To anything,
Everything.
To keep you,
Love you,
Hold you.
I'm brave,
I find myself falling for you.
Falling.
Trusting you to catch me.
Falling.
Baby, catch me.
Catch me.





You Ruined Me




















It’s been months
And if I’m honest
I’d let you know

I fucking miss you.

But we don’t speak.
Not at all.

We are not “we”,

“You” and “I” are through.


It’s strange,

How I can remember,

Every detail.

From the moment,

You walked right through my door.

You were just,

Someone I knew,

Through someone,
I knew,
But then ended up so much more.


I find reasons,

To make every song,

About you.

About the past.

I find reasons,

To remember you,

The tears.

The laughs.

It’s torture.
Gut retching,
Tears burning,

Hell on earth,

Torture.

But you are,

A part of me.

A part I can’t remove.

Or forget.

Or burn.

You’re in my head.

In my dreams.

In my tears.

In my heart.

You’re a part of my soul.

You’re in every movement,

Every word.

Every touch.
Every thought. 
And I’m no longer whole.


You were poison,

Temptation in flesh,

I’m forever broken,

You have ruined me.

You took all my hope,

All my love,

Stole my heart,

And now I’ll never be free.

You ruined me.

And now I’ll never be free.
