Moonlight had nothing on you, the whole world was watching but you were the only thing that made sense to me.
I will pick you over the first touch of the sunrise, her warmth doesn’t bring fire to my bones.
Flowers had nothing on you, all the colours couldn’t match your eyes but the way you looked at them made me wish I was one of them, standing there in front of you, in the field of fallen leav...
I will wait for you
Take as long as you need to
But I will be here
Where are you right now
I know you are still trying
So good luck on that
The cactus at night
Took my own eyes far away
Never to be seen
The sunshine of joy
Steals away my ears at day
Deafening silence
My undeserved joy
Gone like tears from a martyr
I will learn again
Now I know that you
You, you are alive for now
Tears aren’t...
i lay in your arms
like all the other times before
but this time is different
this time i’m letting go
and i cry
while you cry
our tears melt into one
i’d love to just stay here
but i know that it wouldn’t do me well
and as i utter those four words
“can we stay friends?”
i look in your eyes and see them glass
glass im willing to break
i await your answer
no turning back
time has n...
My teachers whistle pierces the air,
And I'm dragged unwillingly into despair.
Push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks,
Each movement feels like an attack,
Why must I suffer through this ordeal?
Oh, how I long for the final bell's chime,
To escape this torment and prison of mine,
But the clock seems frozen in time.
Seconds turn to years,
Minutes drag on,
Hours linger,
Moments stretche on,
With...
Plucking out the withering pedals
Bodies and bouquets of florets
I promised you.
A void of lies I fed you
Closing the blinds in front of your eyes
But with you, I fell into the endless pit
I promised you.
A uplifting reminder
A song to dance away your problems
The sweet honey scent of your voice
Kept my garden blooming and vibrant
Like you.
Careful words that spilled from my mouth
Too glib for y...
I wish i had never said no
I lived in japan
I was a “perfect student”
The gangs didnt like that
One gangster did though
He liked it so much
He liked me
He asked me one day
Will you be mine?
I said “sorry, but no”
That was the biggest mistake of my life
And it would be what ended it
After 44 days of hell.
They took me to their parents house
The adults knew i was being tortured
They were sc...
There is nobody here
To watch me break down
I’m completely alone
With nobody to run too
I look at you with tears in my eyes
Begging you
To understand me
But how could you
It’s not your fault
It’s not anyone’s fault
It’s all in my head
After all
I would try to explain
To you
But I refuse to breakdown
In front of you
Now I’m yelling at you
Angry for no reason
At least no reason
That you can see...
1:14am
Alone
Laying in bed
Oppressive silence binds
Heart pounds
Will I ever see you again
Will I ever
Feel
Touch
Smell
No
1:15am
Alone
I pick up my phone
No calls, texts, and IM’s
It’s habit checking every lonely moment
Most of them are now though
1:16am
Me and you with our cozy apartment
Me and you with our two cats
Why do I keep saying with
Was
1:19am
Alone
I grab my phone again
I find...
His graveyard marks
blister down my skin.
Annihilating my senses;
ah, I'm real again...
He loved me so hard,
I shattered into shards.
Only melting back together,
when he fed me the stars.
Screaming my name,
like it belonged on his tongue.
A mouth full of fuck,
my souls rattled numb.
Romanticizing this
ghost in my head.
This shadow on my lips.
This phantom in my bed.
Sing me back to ...
There’s this hunger inside me
It begs me to release
It won’t leave me with peace
And with every breath I breathe
I lose one more little piece
There’s this weight on my heart
That makes everything seem hard
Is the world really this harsh?
Or am I just weak?
Tears keep falling doing my face
And everyone is saying it’s just a phase
But they’re not the ones trapped in this cage
They’re not the one...
