I cried myself an ocean and set sail on the rocky seas only to become shipwrecked on an island of all my broken dreams


B.S.
I can't take back
The words I never said
Because they stay on my tongue
Like liquor on a alcoholics breath
You're in my mind
And on my skin
This is a battle
I can't win

Your taste on my tongue
Your breath in my lungs
I have no escape
There's nowhere to run

I can't make it stop
This ache in my head
So I'll force myself
To fly somewhere else instead

There's nothing I can do
They tell me I'm crazy
They don't have a clue

Because I know
I'd wait forever for you
I am
A porcelain doll-
An empty shell

On the outside
I am
Strong

But
On the inside
I am
Empty
This is a work of fiction

Alone on a balcony
The stars are out tonight
Both in the sky, and in our eyes
Do you see them too?

Finally the words come out
'It looks really nice'
Subtle, but appreciated
My heart pounds, but I respond

'Yeah'
We could stand there forever
Get lost in each other's souls
Truth hits me, I am a fool

'We should go back now'
Barely a minute, and it's over
Heart
            drops
That was the end of it, our moment?

No, no, no
All I did was amplify, exaggerate
Feelings for me are naught
Nothing, just as I thought

*Nothing.
so the other night I was on a balcony with my ex-crush (we went to get something and were going to walk back) and it was such a beautiful cliche romantic moment that I almost fell back into it ha ha ha halp but nah, I'm sure we all amplify these small moments into big ones right?
Someone once told me,
that soul mates shared the same pain....

So I shared it from my core, a line straight to my heart.
It built the fiber of my being.

Some days I forget how soft the texture was,
How fragile the materials,

I found a way to make ends meet,
And I tugged away at the connection,

I kept pulling at your heartstrings,
Yeah, I yanked to pull you closer,

Thinking you understood my way....
But all I did was unravel you.

Starting at your heart.
Now I lay in a tangle of strings.

Don't know where the end is,
Don't know where the beginning went,

It's all knotted like my stomach.
Knowing I made you come undone.

There is a mess on the floor,
and it's definitely all my fault.

We can only know our own strings.
What binds us, what connects us,

Ultimately how to tear us apart
I've fallen into my own trap.

These Cris-crossed strings have made a net.
And I don't know how to get out again.
My fear is not that I will be met with a response that I do not want

My fear is that I will be met with **silence.
There's nothing quite as painful to me than laying your heart out, only to be met with silence.
Silence says too much and not enough
