Things are quite often NOT what they seem.
The lady in jeans was just on the scene.
She went before Johnny and found all his bling. When Johnny came home he burst on the scene.

The lady walked by him, and moved to his side. She giggled and smiled until he asked why. Her image a song, her beauty found out, but Johnny just stood there afraid of her pout.

Her dialogue winded, her need still unmet.
He wanted that lady and so the song went.
The lady, the one who had robbed him of thought.

The man, he just stood there and prayed to be “taught”. For when all was done, he caved and took haste. For the lady he wanted was gone without trace.

No tears can explain
No words can describe
The pain that is killing
Deep inside..
I know truth hurts
But it even hurts twice
When you try to comfort
Yourself with lies..

I'm always worried people hate me
That they see my name in the notification and sigh
That they dread seeing me but feel guilty not to
That they say my name with spite and anger
when telling others about me

I see people and my eyes light up
I think there's do too
They have a bright smile stretched over their face
which I don't even know if it's true
or a false facade to hide their rage

it's easy to remember the kisses, the laughter.
the way your name felt soft on my tongue.

but, what about the nights i slept alone?
the fights that left my heart bruised?
the slience so heavy that it choked me.
being shut out, locked away from you by you.

no photos of my tears.
no post of my emptiness that settled in my chest.
as if love's ugliest moments didn't existed.

and, here's the truth i never wanted to learn.
: spoiler alert - *** never makes someone love you.
not enough to stay.
not even enough to try.

Life is a placebo.
Endless obstacles,
difficulties to overcome.
Eyes set on goals
we'd thought we'd achieve
even if it drained us
of all but an inkling
of hope.
Lies on parchment
the truth of life,
and I am but a quotation,
repeating words of false hope
so others can believe
we don't all die
wishing to amend
even one
mistake.

I didn’t care
Swear
You and I
It meant nothing to me too

You were just someone to pass the time
Swear
I didn’t care

The excitement I felt when you would stare a  too long meant nothing to me

You were someone to pass the time with
I didn’t crave it more when you lips pressed lightly on my body

Neck

Fingers

Forehead

Lips

It meant nothing to me
Swear

I didn’t want it more
Swear
I didn’t care

I wasn’t falling for you
Your just a friend
Who was a bit friendly then most

I didn’t want you, too
Swear
I wasn’t madly in love with you
I have no reason to lie

I don’t love you

I didn’t care
When you found someone else

I was happy for you
You wanted more

I was not heartbroken
We were just friends
I wasn’t heartbroken
Swear

Best to be left us in the past
And it’s not like I was in love with you
Swear

I don’t love you
Swear

(how to convince me otherwise)

Look outside,
Is it snow or
summer’s eyes?
Fate plays
gossamer lies,
Yet I’ll try,
If not in this one,
find you in every life.

my everything 7.17.25 (6:08 pm / 18:08)
what did i say when you told me everything?
nothing?
everything, too?

is is even important to remember?
or too important?

so
what will you say when i tell you
everything

all my truths and so then all my lies
what will you do?
when you know, when you know, when you know
that you have known nothing
almost all along?

i'm sorry really flipping ******* sorry
i hope you don't mind i stole your words
i hope you don't mind i stole your trust
i hope you don't mind i simply could not make myself tell you

that everything

so
what will you say?

i suppose
let the stars speak for us.
