I think I became addicted,

To the scratching on my skin.

And how that skin turns pink and white,

When the sharpest edge digs in.

I think I became addicted,

To the sight of my own blood.

And no matter how deep I go,

It’s never deep enough.

I think I became addicted,

To the feeling of the slice.

When the knife slides back and forth,

Oh how I hate that knife.

I think I became addicted,

To the feel...

Kierra is a girl I know, beautiful and kind.

I think I fell in love with her, I cannot change my mind.

Every single thing she does makes me love her more.

Rarely do I feel this way, but her, I adore.

Radiant light, like the sun, pours out when she smiles.

And I will be right by her side for miles upon miles....

Her hair, her eyes, her smile, her laugh,

I wish I could keep it in a photograph.

Her heart, her body, her soul, her mind,

I want her, I want her to be mine.

To me she’s like the heaven,

Come down to the earth.

To me she is my everythin,

And everythin she’s worth.

I miss her like crazy,

I love her like mad.

She makes me feel dizzy,

Without her I’m sad.

I don’t know what to say.

I don’t kno...

If loving you was a crime,

I’d be a guilty man.

And if you knew just who I was,

You’d leave while you still can.

If being with you didn’t feel so right,

It wouldn’t change the plan.

And if I wasn’t so afraid,

Maybe I’d hold your hand....

I want to write a book,

but I’m scared I can’t do well.

I want to right a book,

but who’s story do I tell?

Do I write of love and fairytales?

Or a tragic combat where the hero fails?

My story or theirs?

This plot or that one?

As hard as I try, I can’t make it fun.

I can’t find the story that I’m meant to write,

something within me knows it’s not right.

I want to write a book

but I’m sc...

Friendship is a construct.

Freedom is a lie.

Fires burn whatever’s in their path.

Folktales someday die.

Apples fall so far from the tree.

A parent is a myth.

‘Always’ is a made up word.

Actually, every word is.

Kings and queens fall.

Keys are hidden far beneath.

Knifes are plunged into chests.

Killers get away scot-free.

Everything is stupid.

Elves drown in lakes.

Endings happen every day.

Ev...

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 talking.”

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....
