You think you've taken your last breath;
you hope.
but your blood flows more violently than ever
and your heart gives no remorse for its endurance.
miles away from your destination-
home you call it
you drop to the ground below you.
the pills wont help you this time.
you're face swells in distress.
"I have no time to dwell"
you panic.
but you have all the time in the world
everything has stopped moving
and youre alone once again-
a feeling you're familiar with
but vague memories of this place
make you weary,
make you want to run.
The only thing that's racing is your mind
and it wont rest,
it wont take a second
to recuperate- it knows it cant.
and all the pains shooting through your body
come from no where
no injury done, but fatal feelings
stroke your skin
and bury themselves in your heart.
there is no other need to be here
than to see others point their finger
in direction of your failure.
how much more
can your collarbones sink in
before you realize
the disheveled nature of your skeleton?
just let it go
let it evaporate
right out of your skull;
and let it take the demons that haunt you
let it erase all negative being.
and reminisce of the times you were brain dead,
when not a soul was cared for
and feelings were for the weak.
and let that take over you.
hurt your mind more than it will hurt you.

Your words
left a temple in my body.
I heard you fence off your mind
and I heard you'll make it out just fine.
~~~
You never did like the cold
so ill hold you closer than ever.
Your words whisper sweetly in the moonlight
and shine come daytime.
~~~
You're reliving sweet heartbreaks
and soaking your heart in the blood stains you made.
But that's okay because you're hands
fit right into mine.
~~~
And when beauty is no longer physical
where will we stand?
Is your love unconditional? Can I speak my mind?
~~~
Ive got a shoebox filled with memories of stained childhood
and ive got your soul on my mind
so baby please don't replace me
with a love unworthy of your life.

little girl, things aren't always okay
things aren't always going to go your way.
but that's okay.

little girl, everything is going to get bad,
but you know what? you are strong enough.
you just have to learn how to be tough
when those hard times come.

you're going to do many mistakes,
but those make you the person you are going to be.

little girl, there is going to be one point in your
life where you just want to end
it all
but everything is going to be just fine.

little girl, just remember this,
never doubt the people who are
going to be in your life that
actually love you. don't lose them.

little girl, you're going to be alright.
just something i would tell myself at 11 years old.

Calling it quits was easier than it should have seemed
But the nights were long when the river gleemed
And I invited her over and we made shadows taller than the characters on the tv screen

And her bones were sweet as they clashed into mine
There was no dinner, we didn't dine
Her fingers grasped me like the scent of pine
Her perfume was so sweet I couldn't draw the line

Eyes of hazel dancing in circles of brown and green
There was more behind that I wanted to see
But the night ended early and I didn't want to feel
Can't deny myself, can't lie to myself
You're the one who's helping me heal

I want to scale your body
But all you make me want to do is find out what you're thinking

I am human
I am selfish
and sometimes selfless
I am broken
and sometimes whole
I am unintellectual
and sometimes full of knowledge
I am capable
and sometimes insecure

I am destructive
and sometimes constructive
I am emotionless
and sometimes too emotional
I am happy
and sometimes far too upset
I make sense
and sometimes I'm just contradictory

But there's one thing I had in mind
throughout the construction of this poem.

*I am who I am,
And nothing you say or do,
Will make me feel otherwise.

stop ruining love by trying to make it last forever.
Enjoy it while you have it.

we were all kids once
with small hands and big eyes
so full of love and innocence
and I'd be lying if i tell my younger self
to make sure she keeps her innocence
because this harsh world
will **** the life out of you
which is ironic because this is life
but if I were to say a message to my younger self
it would be to keep your heart full
full of love
full of care
and full of happiness
because this world may be harsh
but do not let it diminish the light in your eyes
or **** the curiosity
and maybe that adventurous streak you always have
they will surely call you foolish thinking that
you can keep all these things,
but look around you
you see dead people roaming around
with no fire in their hearts because they drowned
in this sea of madness
do not go with the flow but rather stay on top
and build a boat and sail where you want
don't let the coldness of others
affect you,
but rather let your warmness
affect them
this world is harsh
but that doesn't mean you have to be that way too

I can slash a vein and
feel no pain
at all
but you
hurt me
only
by saying that
you have to
leave
and then you leave
me
bleeding
inside.
