Oh god it's you. And yes, I mean you again as seeing the sight of you just one more time will forever remind me that we're not meant to be. I'm fed up with this romantic crap. This fogged up appearance of love. Whispers of fairy tale romances that are really just fiction. Perhaps I'm wrong. But until I can write my own story I'd like to be left alone to discover it with someone else.

Just for You
Today I felt worth-less. Not in the sense that I had nothing but like I had less of what I was before. I guess for some this isn't a bad thing but for me I'm not too sure...

Worthless
The cracks in my skin reveal the truth. The reality that I'm breaking. My whole being is destroyed slowly to leave the remains of nothing, nothing left but a broken shell. The hollow shell of an empty human. A forgotten soul neglected in the corners of a dark room. Left to gather dust and anything possible to have some sort of value, to find purpose. My skin breaks away from me like it never belonged. Cell by cell my meaning is lost and that all is left is bones for dead. But until I get to that point my skin will crack, and will continue to crack until I'm gone.

Broken Cracks
Today I'm a ghost, the cold air whispers through window sills and hot tea warms up my cup, with a sip of mediocrity left in my mouth. Today I'm a ghost, the thoughts of you fade away as imprints of blank space are what left remains. Today I'm a ghost, my skin pale white and my face numb, I'm left with nothing. Tomorrow your ghost leaves and I can no longer be a ghost with you. I'm not a ghost, I'm just alone.

Ghost
If you aren't going to give me any time it's okay. But don't act like you do just to meet your preconceived ideas about friendship. You might give me a compliment from time and support me in what I do. But then completely disregarding your promises isn't okay with me. So I’m going to find someone who can give me as much as I can give them. And for shame, I’m not yours and your not mine.

Disregarded Promises
I should be working right now but I'm not, a pupil beaming on the inside from her rebellion all in the name of poetry. Quite sad really... But I like writing poetry regardless to work, it's one thing that I can admit comes naturally. Well I can admit it to myself but to others no way, I'd like to seem complacent not arrogant. So mid my rebellion I'll write with a smile, not because I'm always happy, I'll smile because today I'm content.

Content
Why am I a joke to you? No really, because my admiration seems to be undermined and it’s not because you don’t care, but that you’ve seen it before. I’ve told you these feelings many a time like a book you’ve re-read. But the words have lost meaning, my words are dissmissive. And the whole story is good to you, but now following the process just seems completely pointless. To you, I’m dispensable.

Dispensable
I thought you loved me, so I spoke my thought aloud, but love from me is nothing if it’s broke You thought it must be a joke, and as you said it aloud you considered, who could love me for what I am but that part you kept closed, leaving me hollow with your shattering response. And so I thought you just felt bad and in light of this situation you tried to make me laugh as friends do in such awkwardness. But your jester like quality only brought me hurt as all my truth and honesty was for nothing, I thought it was for nothing… And so I never knew the truth.

if our thoughts were spoken aloud
I love the idea of smoke, the fumes clinging to my lungs and the exasperated gasp to regain air. The smoke that can burn down a home, a place filled with memories to be ruined, ashes of forgotten darkness. A smoke that can be a sign, a scream for help and danger. A reassurance to others of your struggle. I like your smoke, the intoxication of your breath, mixing with mine in a moment of relief. Before the bitter after taste of realisation. For nothing can bring me joy, nothing more than smoke can make me suffer.

Intoxication
Stop, I can’t fall for you, I’m not allowed, I’m not allowed to speak out to you For speaking to you would hurt me more, bringing me the realisation it will never happen. Instead I will sit here and write, I’ll write you encrypted poems you’ve seen, without knowing they’re for you, a sign of how I feel for you. But you don’t get it do you? How would you know what I feel when I don’t even know how I feel for you. The simple answer is you wouldn’t. You could rip my skin and hear it peel and not understand that it hurts. All you would do is see the process and continue on your way. I’m screaming for you to talk to me, as talking to me would bring me a relief, a relief that it wasn’t all in my head, that I wasn’t assuming it all. So end my emotional torture before I put myself out of this misery and try again.
