35/F just wandering through life hopelessly lost, dropping words like breadcrumbs to find my way home one day♡
I know where that goes but I don’t know where to put it.

Tell the story
You used to be the place Where I’d unravel all my sins Now I don’t know where to start Because I don’t know where you end

Entwined
Another and another, stripped flat. The whispering world behind the scenes longing for what they could say of the broken The names openly spoken and swept from mouth to mouth More than gravity unknown It stopped her heart He would’ve answered He plucked the brightest star and drowned it.

The crisis
I should’ve said no But I stayed

Silence said more than words ever could.

I feel like I’m being ripped apart from the inside I’ve buried these feelings but they won’t be denied It started with a burning deep in my lungs From breaths held waiting Hiding eyes tear stung Rationality outran by fear When it comes to him I can’t see clear Sleepless nights tossing, turning In my mind, always yearning Bring me peace or quick relief Quiet, give me something that feels true I am no longer who I was to you

Split
Have you ever had a dream so real it broke your reality? I mean, it absolutely shatters the way you look at a person. Of course, it wasn't real. But how easily it could be. Your brain catches all of your fears and weaves them into a web of insecurity that plays every time you close your eyes. If I could sleep forever, would I know that I'm dreaming? Would it end the deep, or would I wake up screaming? All I see are his eyes plunging through the dark, falling further away from me. His fingers curled round my face in a traitorous touch. His lips on my lips as he turns into dust. He is nothing but sand on the cliff side scattered in the breeze. And I am nothing but weakness trembling on my knees. Why did I push him?

Juniper
He's like a fever dream I woke from and can barely remember On the edge of my memory The tiniest sliver It's been a few months He got lost in the blur All I can recall are his horrendous last words 'Hey, do me a favor. If you ever feel like reaching out, don't. I'll make you hang yourself on your feelings and have you look stupid.' That broke something so deep seeded in me Ripped out all the good I ever thought I seen Three and a half years deleted from my brain Everything fading until you've been completely erased.

Any last words?
I'm not sure I'd call it fun for it often has me undone but I'm a writer I could bite off my own tongue and still my silence would be sung through pen and paper 1000 stories in my mind if I could only find the time to speak my truth This is not a simple ryhme listen as it takes hold, blossoms and explodes This is my proof But my words come tumbling out spilling jumbled from my mouth in perfect chaos I sift through the disorder As I struggle against the borders that contain me One day I'll find the words to explain how I see Lost in their own message hidden among the wreckage is the importance of all the lies unknown to you My mind interrupts my day whenever it has something to say and I can't fight it

What do you do for fun?
You hold my lines in your hands As I write between them All of the things that I need them to say You read the words But don't speak their truth They don't reverberate It's like a film developed in the wrong light You can see it but it doesn't look right Or is it all the same to you How does the building stand when her structure breaks She wants to hold steady But she isn't ready to hold all the weight And there she crumbles So you can walk away
