I say I still suffer
But I no longer pick my nails
As white as they are now
They have started to return
Dirt in the bedding
Spots on the ivory
Shown struggle from years
Where I would scrap all the fiber
I made a promise some years ago
That when I switch the timing
Stop wasting what should grow
Then happiness would find me
But what I barely knew
What I didn’t expect
Was the wealth of...
I like you
I really do
but I shouldn’t
it’s dumb
it’s stupid
I’m being an idiot
you probably like her
you don’t notice me
you never will
but _ugh_, your EYES
no
it doesn’t matter
it’s never going to happen
I mean, look at you
and look at me
I have no chance
but _ugh_, your SMILE
you’re so agKajsAbrFaPxMbgGaga
NO
STOP IT
I have to stop this
the more I fall
the harder it’ll be to get over you

I’m fighting off the demons in my sleep
I pray to God my soul is his too keep
I really hope it’s not too late for me
But I’m starting to think I’m in too deep
Uh bourbon sipper
Pill popper
Fucking up my liver
Oh my liver my poor liver
But without it I get
shivers shivers shivers
Withdraws make me feel like I’m slowly dying
Withdraws make me wanna die quicker
Devil in the red dress hopp...
For this to catch your attention
I would like to start at the beginning
Pull up a chair and get ready to listen
So I can intrude you on
What you’ve been missing
Daydreaming about you
Gives me a sense of sensation
I fantasize about you teasing me
Unconditionally
As I elude you so I can appeal appeasing
The thought of your touch igniting and rushing into me
Not for a second will I feel une...
Sometimes I wonder,
How long will it take for them to stop?
For them to stop giving me attention?
For them to turn away and make snide comments?
For them to stop showing me any traces of human affection?
And I know,
I know, trust me,
That this isn’t good to think of.
Yet the thought won’t escape me.
She’s my friend,
But I wonder how long would it take,
I wonder when the word would be used no...
🖤warning I wrote this back in December of last year I’m in a better headspace now (somewhat) anyways enjoy 🖤
I was gettin by
Not getting high
From January to September
I can’t tell you when or why I fell off the wagon can’t remember
Something about a girl
Late October or November
I got sick and tired of all the fighting
I surrender
Just took some Xanax that I got from my dealer
Drunk and...
Im addicted to your flame
Like a moth that can’t escape
And you’re my only friend
That’ll bury me in the end
You’re as gorgeous as a rose
And I keep ignoring your thorn’s
Trapped in your toxic web
You’re always in my head
I can tell your full of lies
But I can’t help but look in your eyes
Baby you’re poison
My beautiful poison
Controlling my choices
Baby you’re poison
My beautiful poi...
An old man with a crooked grin,
pulled me close with promises thin.
“Out of hell and away from sin,
a ride to peace—just step right in.”
The price was steep, all that I knew,
but with nothing left, what could I lose?
Yet as I neared, a shadow grew,
a boy with tears, old and blue.
Beside him, anger built in tin,
a man who’d lost to what’s within,
and a woman with flakey, peeling skin.
A sign fl...
It can be a nasty thing
Getting hurt so bad
So many times
But
Wanting to feel that rush again
To feel the warmth of the world
The urge to jump back in
That trap
That warm oasis
That feels like like home
But son,
Don’t fall for it
You’ve gone through it too many times
Don’t fall for that mirage again...
