âFRAGMENT OF CHAOS: THOUGHTS AND HOPES FROM LOST PLACES AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEENâ POETRY SENTENCE STARTERS // poetry collection by lux irvine available for purchase on amazon: here
â iâve had countless ideas â
â help me face the monsters under my bed â
â iâve got stories to write â
â maybe itâs finally time â
â your story is worth telling â
â itâs like you put the stars in the sky â
â i donât mean to make a cliche â
â lately everything i seem to say sounds like an apology â
â i wasnât strong enough to pick up the broken pieces â
â i want to sleep with you â
â i wonât let them get to you â
â from within your pain, comes glory â
â how many nights did we spend wishing for things that never came true?â
â what does that make me? â
â how much does one sacrifice for others before they lose themselves? â
â i needed you to break me so i could find myself â
â donât ask me what iâm doing because i donât always know â
â your body is convenient â
â iâm sorry that it had to come to this â
â it takes all of my efforts just to not drown â
â you were underestimating my strength â
â what does it mean to be okay? â
â you can buy sex but you canât buy love â
â there is a symphony in me waiting to be sung â
â perhaps there was part of me that still needed you â
â youâve mastered the ways of breaking your own heart â
â i have always been quick to love and quick to break â
â i wanted to plant flowers in the empty spaces of my body so maybe i could find something beautiful to appreciate â
â i am sorry i am never there when you need me â
â i gave you my body and my heart and now i want them back â
â i woke up wanting to love you only to realize that you were no longer mine to love â
â you told me that you loved me â
â you are new flowers blooming after a spring rain â
â i guess i forgot what it was like to burn â
â ask me what itâs like to lose yourself â
â everyday is halloween for me â
â please tell me why missing you feels like pushing a mountain â
â there are cobwebs in the corners of my room â
â our hearts break in different ways â
â i should have been loving myself before loving you â
â you deserved better than what i had given you â
