We were drinking and having fun. I think there was a movie on the TV, we we...

The Art Of Dying

I wish i had never let go,

But the ground is coming quick, and i am getting closer to that snow.

The railing that i had held onto kept me on the precipice of life and death,

And now, im wondering whenever my chest moves if it will be my final breath.

Not even when I would fall for the same stupid boys

Not even through the awkward phases of my e...

Your blood on my blouse,


why didn’t you stop me?

Live Without You

I wish I had never let go,

For now I am without you,

And without you,

I have no reason to live on.


I wish things had gone differently,

To not lead you to your end,

For now I’m in a spiral

Of never-ending dread.


I miss you my darling friend,

My only partner in life,

You were always there for me

But I failed to be there for you.


At your low,

I couldn’t be there,

To be your shoulder

To cry on.

Because I couldn’t be bothered to

So i wish i had never let go

Because if i could go back in t...
