I dreamt of you last night

we were at school
i told you i missed you
and i was sorry
you said it was okay
you texted me later that night
i woke up
you weren’t there

come back
i want you to come back
i want you to tell me why you didn’t talk to me
i want you to tell me
why you would want to
tell me what i did
i don’t know
i talked to you
the day before school star...
silence is boring
peace is a bore
quiet is strange
I want something more
I turn on pain sensors
to experience the world
in its entirety
stepping on a sharp twig
a small mosquito bite
tripping up the staircase
accidentally biting my tongue
pain is terrible
pain is cruel
pain is undesirable
prying open my chest
tearing out my heart
performing experiments
stitching it back up
pain is sad

I slink through the alleyway, trying to blend in with the shadows.
The small nook is crowded and has a lingering smell of urine and cigarette smoke. Yes, it’s disgusting, but it’s secluded.

you don’t have to feel pain
at least, not in your heart
you can save yourself
from being torn apart
from feeling a piercing, everlasting pain
from heartbreak
he can’t break your heart
if it’s not his
he can’t break your heart
if you don’t show it to him
he can’t break your heart
if you don’t let him in
all the hurt
the lingering pain
the endless tears
would be spared
if you just
forgot about h...

In Montraye, everyone has a button on the back of their neck that turns on pain. But only if they want to.
Most people turn it on when they’re in the middle of a terrible traumatic event that scares them and keeps them from ever pressing that button again.
People have been led to believe that pain makes you weak. I disagree.
You may think that the absence of pain means we live in paradise. It does...
Though people have called me insane and damaged, I have always been at a loss of emotion and feeling, never happy just content, never sad just tired. So, unlike most, i willingly accept the fire of pain till it too goes numb, then ill move on to the next; never really feeling.
But this time was different, this time i felt the rejection, as if a blade struck me in the chest, carving its mark in m...
Pain is all I wanted. I wanted to feel something. No one was going to give me the opposite.
Love. I suppose love is all I wanted. I just wasn’t going to get it.
So i sought out pain. I knew it would give me a perspective on life.
Maybe I just wanted a change. Pain would do that for me.
Pain and love do seem like similar things though. I thought you would give me love and all I ended up with is pa...
Hedonism
Pessimistic enjoyment of
Beautiful things to toy with
Warped ideals, bountiful appeals
To a great cause somewhere beyond
Somewhere entirely close
Rooted at the center
Gravity never bends to weather
