Fall in love with the guy who plays with hearts
As if they were toys
Love the boy who doesn't even know you exist
But you spend as much time writing about him
As much as he spends time ignoring you
Listen to the voices in your head, from time to time
Let them take over you, but not fully
But let them make you feel utterly hopeless and sad
To the point you tremble
It hurts, doesn't it?
But that's the point,
Hurt yourself, and learn
From loneliness you understand how to be a true friend,
And from a broken heart you learn who to avoid
Let them hurt you,
Because with destruction, creation begins
And one day, you will meet somebody
Who will use your pain to create something marvellous
And he will call your pain his greatest art known to mankind
He will pick up the pieces of your shattered heart
That was lost from all the trauma you've experienced
And then, then you will be thankful for the suffering
Because it all led you back to him

You try to breathe
As the pain suffocates you
And you cover your face
With shame and guilt
You cradle yourself
And say soothing words
To give yourself fake assurance
That it will be better

I hear my heart beating
I am alive

I can feel your hands
intertwined with mine
I am alive

The cold of winter morning
Stings my skin
I am alive

The non-stop chattering
About unimportant things
From unknown people
I can hear it
Because I am alive

Past filled with
Broken hearts
And empty promises
Yet here I am
Alive

I can hear my heart beating
So loud
And so fast
Whenever you're around

I hear the deafening sound
Of the voices in my head
Telling me to give up

But then I hear your voice
Saying good night
Even if you just texted that

The voices in my head
Are slowly dissipating
To the sound of your heart
Beating
So loudly
I can hear it
And it's music to my ears

I was wrong to stay
Thinking I could fix you
I am no heroine
Nor a savior
I should've just
Saved myself
From all the pain

words without thoughts
actions without meaning
wanderers everywhere
with no purpose
but to survive

He tells you
You're the brightest star
But never trust a man
Who carries stars in his pockets
Because he can easily replace you
Without a single thought
The moment you lose your shine
