ghost

I do not know how to say no
I let people in my life
and welcome them to come and go
while I'm left feeling low.

I do not know how to love myself
so instead I love everyone else
or at least it's what I like to believe
although I can't cope when they leave.

I do not know how to live
so day by day I die
death shall be my greatest high
and for the millionth time I'll say goodbye.

once upon a time

once upon a time

in the beginning was you
a beautiful lie
promising me something true.

in the middle was us
caught in the crossfire of love
All we did was disagree, fight, and fuss.

in the end is now me
realizing with you is where I need to be.
searching for something I once had

*you drive me crazy, you drive me mad

little girls

little girls

woman was not made to be alone
on her own faking to be strong.

woman was not made to *******
such a thing as ******* requires a mate.

woman was not made to cry in solitude
for comfort on his shoulder is true soul food.

woman was not made for this world
for men prey on and devour innocent little girls.

sour patch kids

I had never felt rejection to your degree
I was charismatic, who could resist me?

you turned away from my tender kisses
though my direct passes never misses

I'm left asking what went wrong
did I come on way too strong?

you were the sweetest most sour person I've ever known....

long lost love

long lost love

winter is near
and loneliness is here
I want to hug you like the sweater you wear
but in my heart there is a tear
because I miss you like sailors miss a swear
like a blind man, I can't find your love anywhere
and that's not right my love, it's just not fair
you may not mind this and you might not care
but while you are away, your body and your love
please do not share...
because you are all mine
and we shall return to one another in time.

bottle of happiness

ghost dad

bottle of happiness

he took the bottle of happiness
doctors prescribed to him
in order to wipe out the demons
inside of him
and emptied the pills onto his tongue
while tasting the metallic tablets
a gulp of water raced down his throat
the pills swam through the liquid
down to the boy's stomach
and lay there like a body in a coffin

i hate the taste of pills except advil bc advil is coated in sugar. but i also hate liquid medicine i will ***** liquid medicine i hate it so much

falling comets

the stars in your eyes shine brighter than the comets falling from your open wrists

you are so much more than your mental illness

broken piano string

Akira Chinen

broken piano string

She was an old jazz song played on a broken piano string tied to the moon and the scars of his heart
He was the twisted and warped kneck of the ghost of a violin haunting the halls of her soul
Their love was lost long ago in a forest forgotten by time and swallowed by eternity
They both wandered the world never knowing the others name but finding each other every night at the brief moment between sleep and dreams
and they would both hear each others music as it was sewn note for note into the fabric of true love
and they would wake miles and mountains apart and years away and yet still feel the nights song flowing within the pulse of their blood

Tenderly

Don't cry tender soul it's not your time
Ask me anything and you shall see
Nothing is as hard as it used to be
I've brought you strawberry milk, let me nom your feet
Everything is perfect, your kisses all over me
L**ove me like I do you, you are the start of everything
