beatinghearts

 
I always like to write my thoughts out on paper first because it makes them seem more real.
 



 
 
when you take an anatomy class the teacher teaches you how the human heart works. how it beats like a million times a day and how it connects to every part of you and lets you breathe and move and feel and cry and bleed.


hearts are real


 
and maybe that's when people are in love they say

"you have my heart"




 
 
but when im with you the only beat I notice is silence




 
and the blood doesn't fill my veins till I bleed like they used to
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
hearts are strong but mine can only hold on for so much longer
 
 
 
 
 
because a heart only lasts one lifetime and im running on empty....
 
 



 
maybe its time to take a trip to the gas station. id rather have gas than nothing at all.
 
 





 
 to feel my pulse thrive again
and remember what it feels like when your sixteen and his lips are interlocked with yours
 


 
 
cause hearts only beat for one lifetime
 
 
 
                                                                                             and im running on empty

monsters and sea turtles

 
 
the highest peak in the world, to us, is just down the street.
 
 
 
we've got thorns in our hair but it all makes sense when you stand above the noise
 
 
 
 
the leaves died but our hearts still beat
 
 
 
blue skies don't amaze me like they use to, but that sunset tonight was a bonfire in the sky
 
 
 
and my favorite thing about you is the burning stars in your eyes
 
 
as you look at me under the dull stars above us. the sky cant hear your heart beat
 
 
 
 
 
clouds are just clouds...
 
without you.
 
 
 
 
clouds once were monsters and sea turtles
 
 
 
 
but the dust still lingers in my dreams
 
 
 
 
blackbirds sing a tune just for us as the earth will never be black again
 
 
 
 
 
the sky is fire tonight
 
 
 
 
and clouds are monsters and sea turtles again
 
 
 
 
monsters and sea turtles
 
 
 
and treasure chests
 
 
 
like they once were
 
 
 
 
with you, I see it all again

sincerely yours

Dear Death,


    please leave, if you could, never come back.

                sincerely yours,
                         elle rose

the tears that never show on the outside that are the most painful. your heart is grasping for air, desperate to be free, punching and kicking till you can no longer fight back. your head is telling you no, they wont understand, but your heart is still beating, fighting this impossible battle against your head.


we will never understand what he went through last night. death stared him straight in the face and took him away from us, which sucks. death sucks.

death stole away my puppy too. and took my grandma along for the ride as well.

death is like an annoying scar that will never leave.

no matter what you do to avoid him, he will always come back.
