18/F/Iowa "I will never be anything other than a tragedy"
I took a bite of the forbidden fruit, and wondered, why I was dying wondered why something so dark, so ominous in its nature could still be pure how the devil himself could still have a halo death is something you don’t realize has captivated you until you’re dead until the flower by the window has wilted over until the milk you just bought has expired until the illusion fades away and you realize the garden you once planted is filled with tombstones and you walk through it slowly reading each one wondering how things fade so quickly but the women that showed me graveyards made them seem like gardens and the man that showed me gardens made me realize their impending doom

To, the Woman that showed me graveyards and, To, the Man that showed me why people end up in them
.you, are like the sun up in the sky, you hurt me when I get too close, but I need you to survive.

my love
these bones trap my soul, like a bird in a cage it longs to be set free, from all of the pain and the misery, it longs to soar into the sky and into the sun, to kiss the clouds and feel the light, but yet flesh and bone reject its request for freedom, I wonder if it will ever escape this labyrinth of suffering.

anguish
but what am I, other than a pile of bones and some flesh, composed of past sorrow and debris, watered with my tears and feasting on the small slivers of sunlight that come from time to time.

reflections after the rain
every year, the sky weaves a blanket of snow and places it gently onto the earth, slowly suffocating what once was alive, and suffocating parts of me that have yet to die, I wonder, *what could possibly be left to **** in a graveyard*.

I used to never smoke cigarettes, never. I used to cover my mouth when walking past those who did because, second hand smoke is just as bad, but then the light in my gray sky left, so I found sunshine in the lit end of a cigarette, I discovered more comfort in clouds of toxins than I would like to believe I found in your arms, I used to never smoke cigarettes, never but then I lost you and now I trying to die quicker than ever.

sunshine in the smoke
.anyone can be apart of my life if they wish to be, but my soul is like the vast open sea that only a few wish to dive into, only a few can ever understand why the water flows the way it does, and only a few dare to discover the depths, yet still, among the few that do, they fail to follow my one request, to be cautious when diving into the depths, and so still, they choose to leave, and still my waters will be, for it is not their absence that I will ultimately miss, for things that are meant to be will be, and in the end it is what is best for me. it is the fact that I was not worth something so simple.

still
my life was titled a tragedy before I could even talk, and before I could even walk, I somehow walked into the arms of misery, and soon despair would come for me, knocking at my door, before I even knew what existence was, I knew I wanted it no more, and even after all these years I only crave the end, dreaming of my own demise, wishing I was dead.

gloom and doom
bullets break more than just bones, they break brains, hearts, souls, and homes, they stay in guns claimed to be emptied and then take a soul, they make sure certain people will never grow old, they make warm hearts turn ice cold, they make hearts stop beating constructed of gold, they empty the bodies of the bold, and in the end, they make you feel so alone, because they take away the ones you love the most.
