21/F/Jersey An early taste of death is not necessarily a bad thing. - Charles Bukowski
I've forgotten how to do damage with a pen All I remember is how to slash these swords against my skin Crimson drips from the mutilated canvas and, suddenly, it becomes interesting The candyman promised his stuff was the good kind Guess he forgot to mention with every high comes a goodbye I'm a ticking time bomb And I hear the clock ticking Tick tick tick But suddenly every tick becomes a good time when I remember That the end of every goodbye becomes the chance for a new high

The Candyman Lies
Body is giving up ‪Feel death knocking everyday‬ ‪But every breath means you’re alive ‬   To everyone else you’re okay ‬

Desired but never adored Needed but never wanted Am I cold & calculated or broken with no net, no harness

I just wanted to talk to someone But I never seemed to get the chance to So I began to write; make the time stop But I didn’t want it to be poetic Or imaginative I didn’t want another person to hear me I just wanted someone to finally listen Are you listening? I am talking to you.

Not all houses are homes I am a house that is not a home I am a place of transition A place you are constantly passing I am not a destination I am a place people pass to get to somewhere else I'm a pit stop I'm not meant to be filled I'm meant to fill others But she can't admit it to herself She doesn't want me to be just another sad story But she can't come to terms with real life not having fairy tail endings But I know who I am I am the end to a story that is continuous for others I am the fraction of someone else's story I am a pit stop I am a resting place who is never at rest
