The world that keeps on teaching lies.

Star crossed lovers, maybe spies.

Sweet nothings whispered, lullabies.

Love and hate, they seem to rhyme.

I read the words the authors wrote.

Stories that will fuel my hopes.

Enemies to lovers tropes.

Tying up my heart with ropes.

Teaching me that love is toxic.

God it makes me feel moronic.

What is love?

And what’s platonic?

If you’re the song, the...

“Forever & always, yours.” I said.

“Forever and always, mine.” You agreed.

And after all this time, you know,

It’s something I still mean.

You may have changed your mind. Broke your promise. Said you lied.

But I’m not a liar. And I’m not a cheat. And you’re the only one who can make my life complete.

So I’ll keep on trying.

Keep fighting for you.

While you keep on lying.

And acting like you’r...

“Stop.”

That’s what you said.

You meant “stop taking.”

You meant “stop acting like this.”

You meant “stop being this way.”

“Stop.”

That’s what you said.

But I heard “stop trying.”

I heard “stop thinking.”

I heard “stop breathing.”

I heard “stop living.”

I promised I’d do anything for you.

So if you don’t want me around…...

Say that you loved me.

Say it was real.

Say that you cared.

Pretend to know how I feel.

Act like I mattered.

Act like you tried.

Act like I was worth it.

Pretend you told me why.

Pretend it meant something. Anything at all.

Sit there and smile while I cry alone at nightfall....

I’ll be your lover.

I’ll be your friend.

I’ll be your ally.

On which you can depend.

I’ll be your safe space.

I’ll be your home.

I’ll be your helper.

But don’t leave me alone.

I’ll be your comfort.

I’ll wipe off your tears.

I’ll make you feel better.

I’ll love you for years.

I’ll be what you need.

I’ll be who you want.

I’ll do what you ask.

Just don’t break my heart.

. . .

I’ll be whatever ...

You promised to love me.

You promised to say.

You swore not to leave me.

Where were you today?

You promised to text me.

You promised to call.

You swore you’d talk to me.

Now we don’t talk at all.

You promised me ‘always.’

You promised ‘forever.’

You swore we were ‘endgame.’

Turns out we were never.

You promised and promised.

You swore on your heart.

You held me together.

Then you tore me apart...

Keep it in.

Take a breath.

The lights will dim.

I’ll think of death.

Let it out.

Truth be told.

I try to shout.

Try to be bold.

Keep it in.

Hold it down.

Sink or swim?

I choose to drown.

Let it out.

Let it be.

What’s this about?

Is it on me?

Keep it in.

I’ll close my eyes.

Please hide your grin.

And keep your lies.

Let it out.

It wasn’t me.

Why do you doubt?

I cannot breathe.

Keep it in....

Just close your eyes.

Go to sleep.

In your dreams,

Find some peace.

Quiet your mind.

Lay down your head.

Stop wondering how it feels to be dead.

Into your once-sweet dreams,

Your nightmares now have bled.

Just close your eyes,

And go the **_FUCK_** to bed....

Umbra Mortis, Umbra Mortis.

Cur me torques, Umbra Mortis?

Umbra Mortis, Umbra Mortis.

Quid Mihi Vis, Umbra Mortis?

Umbra Mortis, Umbra Mortis.

Qui Coles, Umbra Mortis?

Umbra Mortis, Umbra Mortis.

Me Solum Relinquatis, Umbra Mortis.

**_MORI, UMBRA MORTIS._**...

We met in biology class. 2 weeks after school started. I didn’t even notice you at first. Then my friend Lilly told me about the new Australian guy at school. She said he had long brown hair and he was in our first period. The next few days I watched. I listened to you talk and I thought you seemed cool. I really wanted to get to know you, but I’m not exactly known for my social skills. One day, I...
