I love you.
The three words used to be shy to leave my mouth
They would hold onto my throat and refuse to be spoken
To be savoured
Refined
Only used for special occasions
So raise a glass, smile and adore one another
Because I love you

Summer nights huddled round the fire pit
Sharing secrets, stories and songs
Succulent strawberries, marshmallows and sugary delights
As we gather alongside deep into the night
The tents are pitched, tough and sturdy
Sleeping bags down, the... – by Emily McGinnes | 8 Views added 1 year ago

Hello, how are you today? Even on the sunny days it doesn't feel too great.
Love makes the world go round but it feels quite still. Personally, this might not get better.
I’m feeling better today, thanks for asking mum. My head is less heavy... – by Emily McGinnes | 11 Views added 1 year ago

If you only knew the things I knew then you’d know
You’d know that your freckles light up the sky like a million and one constellations
That your eyes shine so bright they could give light to the nations
That your smile
Oh that smile
Is... – by Emily McGinnes | 11 Views added 2 years ago

You smell like cigarettes and late nights
That cold smell from walks outside
amongst the thick smog of a bustling city
Lighter fluid sparking false hopes in my heart
I might too become an addiction for you
Break my bones and change your mind

We found sadness within each other and we embraced it.
We spent our love in little glimpses of forever
until our pockets were empty and time ran out.
Three words overused,
but never meaningless.
They taint the tip of my tongue

Songs playing on loop.
Unable to focus.
Eyes glazed over a laptop.
No thoughts.
Brain blank.
Numb.
Gin poured too strongly.
Grimace as it clings to your tongue and
holds in her throat.
Unable to move.
Legs lifeless,
Under the armed... – by Emily McGinnes | 12 Views added 2 years ago

Behind silhouetted trees lurks the
twinkling lights of commercial industrialisation.
The fight begins between the living and the dead.
Only to be saved by the new generation,
With hands worked to the bone and eyes
sunken deep into the abyss... – by Emily McGinnes | 17 Views added 2 years ago

The words tumble out of my mouth in a chaotic mess
As though shoelaces tied together,
An avalanche of mumbles and stutters,
Thoughts revoked,
Insecurities uncloaked.
Sunlight hits your skin
flooding you in light reminiscent of celestial... – by Emily McGinnes | 18 Views added 2 years ago

Wind whispers through the cracks
“Are we there yet?”
Seatbelts click
Pillows at the window
Tapping of the feet along to the radio
We’re in for the long haul!

My presence is not admitted nor
welcomed unless my skin is raw
and stripped like a butcher’s meat.
False smiles of fake confidence attempt
to cover me with pearlised silk sheets,
but I lay bare and exposed.
I feel your sharp teeth in the... – by Emily McGinnes | 5 Views added 2 years ago

My day has not started till I have seen you.
You remind me of the bitter taste of black coffee
mixed with sugar and stirred.
sweetness dancing on my tongue,
like raindrops swirling in gowns of transparency
at their masquerade ball.

You look at me
With that look
And you climb between my trembling thighs
Hot breath on my neck
You’re never shy
As you trace your careful fingers down my chest
You pause
. tempted .
Heaven calls
Do I answer?
My mind goes to a... – by Emily McGinnes | 5 Views added 2 years ago
