Shrink me
Cut me into bite sized pieces
Anything to make me palatable
Make me who I am not
And then we can both move on

A spider crawled into my life
And frightened for my own
I squished it underneath my hands
This was its final tomb

Its corpse remains wilting away
I am a ****** to its decay
Too afraid bury it, yet
Too scared to let it stay

Perhaps this spider was no good
But who was I to say?
For I know not the things it's done
And only pain remains

i love you with all of my heart and soul
it kills to watch you drift away from me
only to come back for a moment
just to leave me alone once again

why did you get to be okay?
why did i have to be the one to fall apart?
why doesn't my heart listen when i try to cut it out?

i want to scream at you
i want you to notice that i'm dying without you
i want you to love me again

i want you again
god why am i such a mess

Some days, I think about how I could disappear.
Who would notice? Who would care?
I could slip away quietly in the night,
only to be found under a new name.
I promise that I'll forget you if you forget me.
But who's to say you haven't already
left me dangling?
Waiting for me to untie myself from you.
I'm on to different things. Destined things.
Hopefully less dreadful things. At least that's what I say.
But what I really want-
and what all of us need-
is an ending.

Gentle moonlight caressed you and me
The night beckoned us with her enchanting dance
So we went willingly into the darkness

Things were fine with you by my side
Yet as we wandered we saw we were lost
And we blindly stumbled through

Eventually I slipped. I fell. I cried out your name.
But all I heard was you tip-toe away.

I’m so tired
Tired of trying
Tired of falling
Tired of never getting back up again

Everyone I see
Is only a better version of me
Prettier
Softer
Marketable

So I spend another night restless
Tearful and alone
Only to wake up once again
To realize how much I hate myself again

Some days I just can’t help but think
If I’m so easily replacable
Why the hell would anyone ever miss me?

i find poetry in what is simple
and pain in what is not
