loneliness

Back to the page Is what I say Back with the pain I gave away to gain My happiness Which is starting to fade So I stay away From those who come to play Starting to feel the pain I cannot run away Can you save me? Can you love me? No... I'm the one who faded Now you feel the pain Until you come my way...

Franken Poem

You want me to be lost under the surface I'm becoming this mistake Feeling faithless, becoming tired I've become so aware You want me to be feeling pressure Feeling numb Becoming another mistake to you You want me to be more like you I've become so lost under the surfce

Desk Job

Fluorescent lights make everyone look ill, And all are chained, though these chains can’t be seen. The hardest work is waiting, waiting till The stroke of five disarms the time machine. Each link’s a payment pressing to be made, Each moment mortgaged till some future moment comes. Bills and bills and bills wait to be paid, As — between computers — conversation hums. Each moment mortgaged till some future moment comes, More and more paperwork piled softly in the bin. As — between computers — conversation hums, Forbidden music mustn’t complicate the din. More and more paperwork piles softly in the bin, In cubicles the gods insist must look the same. Forbidden music mustn’t complicate the din,

Ceramic Vase

I'm sorry my dear love... I just can't choose a decision... I'm not ready to uplift your name... I must let go of our chronicles... But your fragile ceramic skin... Just so plain and so breakable... I can't stand watching you being tormented... Shattering down all the things you enjoy the most... But I'm just not inexplicably ready... Nor sure of my compassionate decisions... There's one thing that's pulling me away... Love it is, but so uncertain, so faded to perceive... I don't want to pick up the shattered pieces I made... Because it's nearly impossible... For me to salvage without getting hurt... It's just so hard to let go...

* * *

I'm still bleeding laying here in all of my mistakes flowing out all over the place waiting for regret to stitch the wounds but even with the seams stitched tightly there will always be a little sign something to remind me that nothing ever changes We can't go back so don't fuck with a heart because broken ones have sharp edges

Thinking about The nights I could've Spent thinking Of a million Other things Than you.

I picked up the diamond promise ring you gave me the day before I saw all the damage you've done, I threw the ring out I threw out the roses too, I held onto the thorns just to feel something, not to feel so damn numb.

Broken sink

Fresh start. It's been 21 days , 5 hours and 30 minutes since we last spoke. last night I woke up from a dream about the "fresh start" we always talked about having . Woke up to the sounds of the broken sink. Then I remembered how your gone and how I need to have a fresh start my myself and I need to remind myself I don't need you. I should remind myself not to count the days you've been gone either I tried having a coffee and taking a long bath to drown my thoughts away although I end up over thinking anyways .

perfect lovers

We were perfect. Really, we were. Almost every hour, minute, second, I was yours. It all felt unreal, like a tale. You were mine. I was yours. We were perfect lovers. Yet we fell apart.

empty hole

even if i don't do anything for the entire day, i get tired thinking about stuff makes me tired when it's night, i can't get a wink of sleep it's kinda like falling into an endless hole just you falling into the abyss nothing to do nowhere to go not even a bed to think about life on life's an empty hole.

Opposite Effect

Why is it that every time I try to help I hurt you Every time I try to please I enrage you I’m bad luck How can you love me? I’d do anything for you But everything I do has the opposite effect How can you look upon me with lust? I do cruel things to your love I say I’m sorry for doing these things to you Why don’t you punish me Throw me away I don’t deserve you But all you say is sorry Sorry for making you feel like you have to apologize

The Only Thing That Stopped Was Me

The day my life fell apart Nothing stopped The sky was still blue The birds still sang People still smiled People still loved The only thing that stopped was me Everything rushed on ahead As my screams filled the night I laughed to kill the pain But the pain still came No one can hear The cries of the lost So I screamed in the silence Just to hear myself But I couldn’t hear
