I was falling for you faster than I ever had before,
You tore my walls down ,
by being yourself,
your embrace was my castle,
And you were the guard,
I blindly trusted you to protect what matters most to me,
you see ,
I guess we were not meant to be,
but what to I do with this half finished symphony,
I tattooed onto my heart,
your memory haunts me,
on the basement couch,
where you heard my thoughts in silence,
and held me as i cried,
after you discovered one of my demons,
In the campfire smoke,
that stings my eyes,
the same way the tears do  ,
You haunt me in the constellations,
I feel you as i sit amongst the grass,
we used to lay upon the grass,
tangled in blankets,
and the warmth of the other,
we used to talk,
we never did stop,
until you let worry silence you,
I don’t let what i can not control have power over my voice,  
I wonder what your doing,
I went from ridding shot gun,
to driving three cars behind,
you placed me in your blind spot,
now all I get are snapshots,
on Snapchat and Instagram,  
I’m left wondering who I am to you,
I hope I’m not just “some girl I knew”

To whom I hate:
If I truly knew you
I wouldn't hate you
Such is life.

I love you.

You made mistakes, I did too.

But then I understood you were lying.

For years it grew, and I never knew.

But the reason I’m angry is not the lie.

You don’t think worth the truth.

That hurts more

than your knife in my back.

I loved you.

You would hate me if I were like you,

making scars deeper than oceans.

Treating me like I never knew,

with no regard of my emotions.

I wish I knew
How not to be sad.
How not to be angry,
And how not to feel pain.

I wish I knew
How to be happy.
How to enjoy life,
And how to leave the past behind.

I wish I knew
How to trust.
How to love myself,
And how to forget the harm.

I wish I knew
How to open up.
How to fight the dark,
And how to get rid of anger.

I wish I knew that
Not everyone is nice.
Not everyone wants to be friends,
And not everyone is kind.

I wish I knew that
Not all things are free.
Not all love is real,
And not all hope is true.

I wish I knew that
Not everything is joyful.
Not everything is beautiful,
And not everything is light.

I wish I knew that
Memories don't fade.
That words sting,
And scar for life.

I wish I knew
That my skies wouldn't clear.
That my demons would win,
And that I would give in to the darkness.

Every story started
With a "Once Upon a Time"
A kiss to end
It's a Happy Ever After,
isn't it sublime?

A prince and a princess,
or two souls from the same star;
Upon meeting, each other did they miss
Only three words to keep
only a moment of bliss.

To shake off the hatred,
and put in the divine.
He simply gazed at her;
A fiery apparition, dreadful, beautiful
other-worldly in a dress of lime.

So and so, in the name of Love
Cupid's arrow;
Could say it was a wasted thing
Falling from the skies above,
Disaster will soon follow.

Dear boy, from the steps of high,
Grey clouds hiding a summer sky.
This ending, did you know it by
The hurt of this world, words to suffer
Did you think you could fly?

You let her know,
And you think she felt like it was just a show;
An elaborate veil of trickery
Interchangeable as a river's flow
No matter what else, it hit you like a blow.

But if you only knew, dear boy
The love she harbored like hidden, sweetened wine.
Too much would **** her, but to taste it is too fine.
Enough to counter fallacies or lies, a truth over too many tries,
But you already left without knowing the signs.

She loved you, but only if she enough knew.
The monstrous hurt, the peace too few.
Things that haunted your head at night,
That kept you from people, out of sight,
She tried to keep you safe, but now you've taken flight.

You're gone, she's not alright;
Your passing is a daily visitor in her sleepless nights.
You could have still been her everything,
If not for the dangers her being with you posed.
She should have, she could have; now you're just a ghost.

The crazy things we do for Love:
Not only to defy an inferno,
But even to curse the heavens above.
But when it's Life and its traditions coming to cut the thread
There's only little time left until the feelings are dead.

Dying until there's something to save it;
A raging fire falling into embers to ashes,
Waiting for Love and its holy answers.
Hope is like a thunderous night on the prow of a ship,
being broken and tested through a tempest.

But that ship's broken; she's barely survived,
The anchor's gone, the fires aren't alive.
She's the hollow of one; Pan's spectre floating in the moonlight.
There wasn't anything else to keep those eyes bright,
Only a silhouette of what you could have been; a rare and beautiful, fleeting sight.

If Alice only knew, but, unchangeable, this is now your fate.
If she only knew how quick this would take you.
Protection over something loved could **** too;
If she only knew what thing else to do,
To show love, to hold you, but now you're gone and it's too late.

Who knew
That we would end up like this
A giant rollercoaster that for a while only went up
I’ve never felt so high
I’ve never felt so good

Who knew
This rollercoaster suddenly would turn
I guess,
Everything that goes up has to come down
Every high has a come down

Who knew
That one year ago
One month ago
I was in love with you
I still am
But now I’m not even your second choice
Your B-team

Who knew
We would end up like this
Damaged, broken, ****** up

Once upon a time we were good
We were great, to be honest
Who knew…
I don't know what happened, but now I'm his last solution and it hurts. It was a good relationship, now it's poisonous but I don't want to end it. I don't want to say goodbye.

I didn't
have to say
"help me"
because you already
knew what to do.

i know you.*

i know how you looked at me the first time our eyes met
"what the hell does this guy want from me?"

i know you.

i know how what they called the "devil's hour" never feels like it because of your fruitless attempts to suppress your laughter when we're on the phone

i know you.

i know how happiness fills me when your fingers fill the gap in mine, or when your warmth permeates my very being.

and now i know how one letter can make *one heck
of a difference

*i knew you.
another 3am work, i just decided to write it
