i just i hate it you know that feeling of of sadness of emptiness and just a big empty hole in your chest not being able to do anything yet having to ignore it and move on and move on i just wish something or someone could fill it i wish someone cared enough enough to stop and help me figure out what the hell i'm doing and what the hell i'm supposed to do because this hole in my chest just keeps aching and i don't know what to do anymore i don't know i don't know i don't know why don't you care why i just want someone to care because sometimes i think i care too much but then my chest hurts again so i don't care enough and my heart is playing tug of war but eventually my heart will rip in half i just wish you cared i just wish

i’m so lost and confused tired of my tears and my screams leaving me silent my hoarse voice and tear stained cheeks mean nothing to you there is no remorse or guilt in the way you treat me i’m sorry you say but those words are hollow and hold no meaning to me they are locked in a box deep inside my mind is this what love is you have broken me and now i don’t know who i can trust i’m afraid i am no longer loveable my body and mind are in too many pieces for someone to try and put me back together but that word try is another word i have locked away because you have taught me that to try is to fail and to speak is to disappoint but as you taught me you beat me down so now after you there is nothing left of me for someone else to love and how do i explain why i have nothing left and that the scars covering every inch of me are from you how do i explain why i think this is love

how do i explain
i’ve been told once before that when you stare into the Darkness it begins to stare back at you until i visited your grave i never believed Them i sat and stared at the nameless headstone callously placed amongst the shadows and i mourned my tears falling delicately on the loose soil that concealed what was left of you until i held your hollow lifeless Skull in my trembling fragile hands and met your tender gaze

tender gaze
my cold dead heart was made absolutely empty so, they tell me i can take a knife to it though it would be, for me, easier to face myself with my soul having been stained

stained soul
this thing we choose to call beautiful he takes his time and stirs up still things hidden inside      to exhaust the mind then settles down and infests, but come o beloveds of darkness and decay for day     is near

still things
i frequently weep in silence - for those i treat well are the ones who most of all seek yet to harm me and label me crazy because of this i am lost and confused and you,      i want                you to suffer the insanity - in myself i am aware of this but the one i call ‘you’ is simply                   myself     and i find that i           am the cause                  of my insanity

i have butterflies every single one unique in its own way beautiful delicate wings with intricate patterns and a variety of colors each individually carved from stone by the anxious claws that embed themselves into my skin i focus on those butterflies if only to distract me from my thoughts in my head from my tingling fingers turning numb from my pounding heart and from the air that is no longer in my lungs i focus on those butterflies on the way their rough wings scrape along the inside of my stomach their screams from being crushed by those sharpened claws and the heavy sickening feeling they leave behind

the only way you can hate, is to love hate is love betrayal is trust we were one the words, like fire in my mouth left scars to keep you, i had to lose myself but was i holding onto you like a child that grips their teddy bear to save them from the never ending darkness or were you holding onto me like a child clenching a bag with a fish wondering what will happen if you shake it and just like that child's foolish hope of the teddy bear protecting them it's all just pretend an illusion that we wrap around our hearts to shield from feeling your words have become cobwebs of lies stuck to the walls of my mind hands that hold my head below the surface of the lake the lake made by the darkest parts of my mind the soft and gentle hands that once held mine are now calloused and cold they no longer create instead they destroy it was never supposed to be like this i squeeze the teddy bear you shake the bag the lake fills my lungs i'm going to drown my fault your fault we were both too heartless my apology that i gift to you is made from the tears i've shed these past few years my love is this gift that i hope you accept
