All The Things I Never Said

by Mae Krell

“That’s because you aren’t feeling the rain all you’re doing is getting wet” When spring left he left too and i wept like the sky did hoping he would come back to feel the rain again

Did you ever wonder why in animals hip bones collar bones and rib cages being visible are thought of as sickly ugly and sometimes even abusive yet, in humans that is what we call beautiful

i hope that one day you’ll forget all the pain you’ve endured and just learn to be happy

And every night I am haunted by the fact that all these memories that mean the world to me you probably don’t even remember and how now I don’t matter to you at all

but when you looked my way you saw nothing because to you i had become invisible.

How could you make my lips curve upwards in happiness and my eyes close and open while dropping waves of tears onto the shore that is my face at the same time?

What is more powerful a thought, or a gun? a gun gives the opportunity but a thought pulls the trigger

These flowers are still alive and our love should be too but it is not and you are not here by my side so I guess you lied

Her mind was flooded with thoughts of him but unfortunately she couldn’t swim

You are the kind of mystery that I would love to spend the rest of my life trying to unravel

Late Nights It’s 4:14 am and my mind has been completely corrupted and flooded with thoughts of you

I loved you but you didn’t love me and sure that was sad but really the worst thing was that even though you knew I loved you you acted like no one did

Childhood Sayings They always say “you are what you eat” and then they wonder why I don’t eat at all

Words If your words cut as deep as my blade I would be dead by now and all of this would be less painful

I kinda believe people die when their fire burns out, you know, that fire that kinda keeps you going.

I think when someone dies, they turn into a star and they get a fire that hardly ever burns out, unlike the ones they had as humans.

I guess I think every person is assigned a star that shines on them and tries to help them keep their fire burning for as long they can before that person is ready to join them up there, as their own star.

Dead Heart Even though my heart is dead it still finds a way to beat for you

And I swear, one day, i’ll be someone that I am not and it’ll be even greater than who I am, whoever that is.

And at the moment I first spoke to her, I already knew I would soon spend countless hours attempting to write a poem as beautiful as she is

She was in your veins flowed through like blood. Then you decided to go sober.

maybe if someone would have stuck around when I starved myself they would have seen how I was slowly perishing and helped me get back on my crumbling feet

I have this thing with missing people and places that have treated me horridly.

but now that I'm going through this torture I'm questioning if the universe loves it's children as much as I was told it does or if the universe just needs to take out it's anger sometimes and instead of finding a productive way to do it it takes it out on it's children.
