American overthinking since '99 / photographer & writer
You were getting too close for me to handle. You understood the darkest parts of my mind. Resulting in me breaking yours first. Before you'd have the chance to break mine. I shouldn't have let you in. You knew more about me than I did myself. It was just an invitation for additional pain. To end up crying, screaming for help. Don't ask me questions about why I have the tendency to think the way I do. But if you were in desperate need of an answer, then my response would most definitely be you. You caused this constant fear of pain. Don't tell me things will be alright. There isn't a thing that will make forget About a darkness I don't have the strength to fight. I wasn't surprised when you stuck around for the good days, Leaving the second you had seen me at my worst. That's why before you had the chance to break my heart. I knew I'd have to break yours first.

Constant Fears, Late Night Paranoia
Loving you was like pointing a loaded gun to your head, just to find that once you've pulled the trigger, all the bullets suddenly vanish.

I can't escape you. Part II.
Why do you say you miss me? There's no need to tell lies. Why do you say you miss me? When I won't give us another try. Why do you say you miss me? Now that you can't see me everyday. Why do you say you miss me? While you give other kisses away. Why do you say you miss me? Only talking to me over the phone. Please don't say you miss me when what you miss is not being alone.

I'm not what you're missing
It isn't you that's making me cry. It's the song I'm listening to. It isn't you that's making think. Because (I) never did love you. It isn't you that broke my heart. It's the (want) for you to be here. It isn't you that keeps me awake It's me swallowing down my fears. It isn't you that makes my heart beat (It)'s the thrill of being adored. It isn't you that makes me tremble. It's the thought of being ignored. It isn't you that makes me write. It's (to) the feeling you now control. It isn't you that makes me ache. It's the happiness that you stole. It isn't you that makes me stress It's the work that still has to (be) done. It isn't you that makes me miserable. It's the knowing that you aren't the one. It isn't you, It isn't you. You weren't the one that was made for me. It isn't you, won't ever be (you). No matter how much I wanted it to be.

It isn't you
Loving you was like jumping off the stool to hang yourself, just to find that once both feet are in the air, the rope has disappeared.

I'm sorry I had let you down. And I'm sorry I broke your heart. I'm sorry I ended up leaving When I said we'd never be apart. I'm sorry I pushed you away. And I'm sorry I let you in. But know you were the closest to me That a person has ever been. I'm sorry I gave up on you And every "I love you" I managed to say. I'm sorry I promised to be by your side And for the mind games we often played. I'm sorry I'm messed up And for every single thing I do. I'm sorry I wasn't the one in the end. And for not being there for you. I'm sorry enough to say I'm sorry. Oh, how sorry I truly must be. To write these words over and over again In a poem that you'll never see.

Truly sorry
I had always told you I will always love you Even longer than you promised to love me. You said you loved me more than the sun does the moon, But my love had depth greater than the sea. You said you'd love me for more days Than there were stars in the night sky. And I said I'd love you a trillion more days After the instant you were to die. My heart had brought me to the final conclusion That you and I will be together. But the thoughts in my mind reminded me That there isn't a thing that lasts forever. I wish to let go of these haunting truths So there isn't a day we would be apart, But you never understood me well enough to know I think with my mind & not with the heart.
