i have finally learned
i am built for being quiet
i am built for petting cats
i am built for cleaning rooms
i am built for naps and sleepovers
but i am not built
for relationships
i am not built for love
i am not built to last
i am built to be a scream through a screen
and a virtual hug with pretty word
edited, mind you
i was built for when you need me
i can't be used all the time
i am no pair of old boots
i am not a good jacket
i'm not a house
i am not even a room
i am a Styrofoam cup
i am useful once
i wasn't built to keep you safe
i was built for three minutes of comfort
i was built for you to let go
but now i am bent and breaking
because Styrofoam wasn't built for this
You made money as a bagging boy
At the local grocery market
But i could've sworn you were a construction worker
Because you built me up so much

Some people are under construction
because their walls were broken
and know that
those times are hard
for they built it with bricks
and they let someone ruined it.
It has been standing firm for years
yet someone came
to just completely break it
and leave it unfixed
And wonderwall just lingers there
waiting for a resolution
waiting for some fixing
just waiting.
Wonderwall means it stays there for someone.

I used to have it all.

My throne that I sat high upon was my whole world.

I ruled my golden kingdom with such extravagance unseen by most living beings.

I ruled with my bloodline,

So close.
So strong.
Everlasting.

And one day, it was all taken from me.
Everything I had, gone.

I was defeated,
Despaired.
And left for dead.

And now, someone else sits fixated on my throne.

He wears my crown that I worked so hard to craft.

My crown I crafted from blood, sweat, tears, and pain.

To me, it's the crown jewel.
To him, it's nothing more than a dunce cap.

He is a nothing king trying to be everything I was.

But he needs to realize,

Thrones were only ever built for one.
Throne

bad designs have already been built.
on the verge of collapsing from all the guilt.
aged and longstanding no wonder we face the inevitably,
as what has been built will now dwindle away as ironically,
wilted petals will do the same,
disintegration of what we had is defamed,
a shattered frame never goes addressed,
with too many problems we just left,
but I guess maybe it was best.

we lost everything,
and still never learned anything.
we have nothing left to say.
just the rusted frame like our doorway,
we don't have to knock to be heard.
but watch your step so nobody gets burned.
because it hurts as memories flood in,
making you cry as tears scorch your skin,
you begin wondering what could of been.

and then you stop,
and drop into the doorway as you take the mats spot,
your the one fading into the wreckage,
sinking away fast before you can find a new direction.
Shattered and vanishing away,
but you never left the rusted doorway,
your looking to escape the battered zone,
you know your grown,
enough to handle the pain on your own.
Not everything is built to last
So let's craft the best home we can
It's easy to understand
How true this can be
So I have to ask for you to trust me
When you can't trust yourself
Do your best
And I'll do mine
Let's do more than just **** time
Let's make it worth while
I'm not here for a long while, but I'm going to share it with as many as I can

Tonight, the moon and stars are so bright.
Tonight, I remember the love we built one night.
The beginning of heart breaks. #ER.
