…wish you were here
I wanted you as you’re my sun
But talking to you now is my fear
As you’re with her and I’m done
I cry as I see our memories in the mirror
Whenever I get the courage you just shun
I'll just wait til you’re ready
No one is perfect as you
You haunt my dreams as you’re Freddy
This is just a fluke
I wish I could hold you like a teddy
Cry into you when I don’t know what to do
But how long would I have to wait?
Either way I’ll never…

…love I once had for him is dead and gone. Oh how hard was it for him to leave me alone. Or was it’s hard for me to just leave and move on. Alone I already, was. I suppose but me being around him had me feeling like the love still can grow strong. Than again it was just me. Oh no, how silly was that lie. I thought to self about my wealth, health and happiness and realize that it’s sinking because of him. He will not and can not help me or…

Read More…no amount of medication
Can’t take away the thought of you and him
I crave validation
I wish with this it was easy to skim
I told you what happened at school
You acted like you didn’t hear
I felt like a fool
Once again I’m alone something I’ve feared
I want to stay numb
So I’ll never see you choose
I’ll fade away as you’re having fun
It’s not like I got something to lose
I can’t take this anymore! I’m done
Hello the forest of blades
My skin craves the release
I’m sick of this cage
The one…

When you say things that Pierce me
And what they put me through
What Being alone is what fears me
Yet my heart chooses you
You seem to not know what tears mean
You’re beautiful slick black hair
Soft to the touch
Skin so mesmerizing it’s not fair
Soft voice melts me as such
Beautiful sparkling brown eyes I try not to stare
Hold me as tight as you can
Please don’t dismiss me
I know you saw the others who ran
I just want you to kiss me
I know you might be the better…

Love is a dreadfully glorious death.

…wish you were dead, so that your decaying bones turned to sacred ash beneath a marker I can lie my broken-openly beating heart apon, when I need to be near you.
But you aren't, and I am left to oblige your wishes to never see me again. You still walk this earth, and I still bleed for you, mourn and wail for you, seeking you in every lover I have taken since.
Anesthetize me, I beg of men's bodies. My thirst never quelled, my memory is still in love with…

Capacity reached
Forlornly trying to seek the needle and thread to stitch me back together
So many limitations, so bleak
Eternity can not fix this
No sunshine
No hope
A darkened room that just gets smaller and smaller with the passing time
No recourse
No remedy to fix this
The repetitions carving the jagged line that separates the halves of the heart
No fortitude
The pericardium trying to hold steadfast
The core of the heart seeking any warmth that lay within the chambers
The darkness can not fade
It will not…

…need a host
It’s necessary to their survival
But Is it painful for him to watch you die...
His soul cries for love
While his body rages
His tongue whipping your back
And breaking your skin
The demon can only enter through a wound
Where’s the fault if he had no choice
If it was kill or be killed...
Malignancy spreads
Intent Possession
Your autonomy is gone
choices are no longer yours
You wanted to save him...
But you drowned in his despair
Now the words you speak are venomous
Fire burns inside your heart
Angry and…

…there, in her eyes he could see the world he always wanted. What he had hoped for, dreamed of, and desired. For as long as he could remember. It was all there, as her gaze met his. He tried to say something, anything, but words failed him. He failed himself, and before he knew it the moment had passed. Was it real? What he had thought he’d seen was no longer present. Not even a trace. He wondered if it had ever even been, or had he simply wanted it to be. Had it been his…

Though those eyes told me lie everytime, still somewhere this stupid heart is ready to trust that heart again, which never chisel my name on it.
Always inexpressible he was, I thought, but soon after discovering his invisibly-visible lie, I realized that not a bit of his beat was for me. Never felt special of that knot which only I voluntarily and stupidly was carrying.
And his smile brought all Beautiful glimpses of the time when he 'used to' show me the love which has given…
