Take me out of time and space
And love me.
Only for a moment
In that other place
Just love me.
Make my heart soar and my hands tremble
Let the tears run down my face,
In that other, lovely place.
Only you can take me there,
You know how, and you know where.

I can't say his name without a smoke.
It tastes like ash.
I feel sick.
I wish I could write again.

When you left, you took with you my ability to move,
My ability to breathe, my ability to speak.
You stole my muscles and my bones,
My senses and my desires.
I can no longer taste your lips on mine,
Or smell your shampoo on my pillow.
I can no longer hear your voice calling my name,
See your smile, nor feel your hands wrapped around my waist.
All that is left for me to feel is the crushing blanket of loneliness,
A knit wool too warm to cuddle with under the covers,
Too heavy to hold to my chest to give it freedom to rise and fall.
My body is numb, my brain is numb, my heart is numb.
I can feel the darkness of the vast and empty night sky above me,
Slowly lowering down to Earth, directly to my empty bed,
And for a single moment, I want to feel like the universe is safe,
Like it isn’t about to crush me and my heart isn’t about to explode.
For I am left without shield, you, my warrior, my one-man army,
And I am immobilized and unprotected,
And there is no way in hell I can win the next World War against myself.
Escape is my only option to divert the attention from my hiding place,
To prevent the enemy of me from further destroying my soul and consuming my body.
So if I’m lost, please don’t find me, and if I jump, please let me sink,
For darkness has fallen on this sunlit winter day,
And the sweet crescent moon no longer casts a light on my pillow,
Leaving only shadows of Heaven in the darkness.
I hope she breaks your heart, you ******* ****

i have found
that it is much easier
to be not good enough
than to be the best

and i've been told
that if i could only see
the best of myself
i would be happy

but it's funny, this feeling
it comes not from a lack
but from a surplus
i am a surplus
of "not enough"s
and it's not that i don't see
the best in me
it's that i see
the best in everyone else
and it's better than my best

is it satisfaction?
is it ethereal?
is it worth it?
is it lasting?
is it filling?
is it love?
is it her?
is it?

how can i be sure?
how can i know?
how can i?

am i always dissatisfied?
am i alway despaired?
am i always fallen?
am i always?

we all have the same disease.
we all have the same death.
we all have the same holes.
we all have the same.

is love its provider?
is love its vaccine?
is love its?

time will tell,
just need a little faith.

maybe it's good that we have never met
so i don't have to face the fact
that you're not mine, you never were
my heart made me feel so absurd
you left me longing for you
as i did so, i fell on the ground
all messed up, in the dirt
all because i
wanted you
to love me too
