Now you are just memories
A remedy sung in bittersweet melody
An elegey on tip of tounge
A muttered cough instead of love
A hung coat on finished laundry
An important significance
A somber sundry
Miscallenous patterned puzzles
Smiles in muzzled, desperate sprained muscle
Do you remember me?
That is the greatest pain
That every moment I think of better
You think things should s...
I am like the beauties of nature
I am loud like waterfalls
I am crazy like rabid raccoons
I am loving like mama bears
Yet, when the rain comes
I am annoying like slippery rocks
I am frustrating like mud
I am too much like overfilled lakes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me
Do they see a serene landscape
With lush trees and bright colors
Or do they see a boring patch of trees?
Personally, I...
I want to hate you
But I don’t
I want to love you
But I can’t
I want to be mad at you
But my heart won’t let me
I am mad.
Mad that I can’t hate you
Mad that I can’t love you,
And mad that you don’t love me
Angry at myself because
I’m so empathetic,
I can’t even punch my pillow
With my burning anger.
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t I love you?...
From shadows deep, where once I dwelled,
I found your heart, where light is held.
You've seen me through the darkest night,
With gentle words, you brought the light.
No judgment cast, no harsh critique,
In you, I found the peace I seek.
You know my past, its heavy toll,
But you kiss my scars, and heal my soul.
A mirror of acceptance, kind and true,
Reflecting love, in every hue.
We've built a w...
And if you feel like I do,
then there's an
emptiness inside you.
You can't cure it,
or erase it,
and god knows
you can't replace it.
As it rips your heart
to shreds every night.
You pray to sleep forever
and hope to end the fight...
I once prayed to Jesus,
but he turned tail and left me.
Now the devil is pissed,
and has taken his place,
deep down inside of me.
Where animosity
grow...
what’s next? tell me where to go. for i don’t know what i want. or what makes me happy. tell me to be who you want me to be. and what to do with this life. what to eat. where to live. what to wear. who to like. i’m indecisive. clueless. and you know everything. just tell me what to do....
i cant stop scratching,
and there are bloody dots all over my arm,
and i can’t stop scratching.
and oh how it burns,
but in a pleasant way?
almost like taking a shot of gin.
not that i’ve ever tasted gin,
i don’t even drink.
regardless,
i hope it scars.
no i don’t.
well,
maybe.
that’s my life.
maybe.
and it burns when i bend my arm,
when the skin has to move,
because that how life is,
no?

There exists no word, phrase nor symbol to encompass the sea of emotions that drown me in your presence. You are a great white, your waves pulling and lulling my mind with the sweet siren of whispered wishes. I float on your warm breath, a sole survivor on a measly raft buoyant on your surface. Your current drags me in a fated direction, right into the great hole of your mouth. Greedily you swallo...
This beach used to be ours,
Lost in its hues for hours.
But we fucked up,
And those hues came to a stop.
Now hearing the waves brings pain,
Again, again and again.
Sitting on these stones,
Brings aches to my bones.
Please tell me how you feel,
Just to make this shit real.
Do you feel pain like I do,
Or was all this untrue.
Oh well it’s too late now,
I will take my bow.
And watch you collide
