The breaking of my heart felt like -
A noose around my neck,
A knife to my back,
A grenade in my stomach,
Poison in my brain,
And water in my lungs.
All at once...
But the pain never left.
Every step gets heavier,
Breaths shorter,
As my eyes begin to gloss over,
I fall to the floor.

Facing the sky,
Above me I see darkness creeping down,
And a final star--a shooting star.

As one last tear rolls down my face
Touching the earth,
I wish my final wish:
To have the strength to get up and have the courage to try and keep going.

But the pain takes over
And it’s too late and I realize I’m done.
This is it, this is the end.

I love you.
My heart finally stops.
I breathe in and breathe out my final goodbye.
Cause of death?
A broken heart.
To take a bite of the forbidden fruit
I wouldn’t mind being ****** for eternity
As long as I had you.
Being strong is wrong
Let the weak peek.
With the hope of someday,
For you, eternity, I shall wait.
Unconscious leaked
All that was hidden
No longer forbidden
My scarlet letter
Torn open
For all to read
Brought to the surface
Floating above
A crack in the mask of reality
The true me.
Started from nothing
Slowly, steady,
Gaining size, strength, and height.
Powerfully Surging
Quickly to the shore.

Dare to take a ride
And your fall is assured.
Lost beneath the Surface
Stuck in the Current
Unable to move forward.
Up is Unknown.
Hold your breath
Find your way
Or forever you will Remain
Lost and Alone.

It Reaches the shore
Pushes hard and fast.
Breaks the sand and air
With ease.

Mission complete.
Recollecting,
Pulling,
And Retreating.
Promise of Return.
I wish for you to be okay
But I know I can’t make you okay.
Nothing can make it okay…
Only time.
My grandma told me those words on a call today, a few days after my dad had passed. Just wanted to jot it down so I won't forget it.
Who do you have to live for, if not yourself?
I don't want to live,
But I don't want to die.
How much more
Do I have to sigh?
How many more tears
Do I need to cry?
How much longer
Do I need to try?
When will you see
That I’m so unhappy?
Let me fly
Or let me die.
Final goodbye.
I stay up at night
Unable to sleep
Because I know if
I do indeed dream
I will wake
Disappointed with reality.
I can’t relive the past
But I continue revisiting
What was and no longer is.
Drowning in your laugh
Long but forgotten.
You kiss her and **** me.
While you’ve been smiling
I’ve been dying.

While you’ve been laughing
I’ve been crying.

While you’ve been kissing her
I’ve remained alone.

While you’ve been talking with her
I’ve been drowning in silence.

While you’ve been dreaming
I’ve been thinking of you.

While you’ve been happy
I’ve been writing stupid poems
And wishing death upon myself
Because I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
Like 3 of my poems were too long and I feel like not many peeps read them bc of that, so I decided to break them up as best as I could into chunked single poems.
I breathe music.
It's in my blood.
In my heart,
Brain, and lungs.
It makes up my soul -
My body no longer a shell.
It gives me life
And without music,
I'd be dead.

— The End —
