i'm burning from the inside out if you felt my fingertips you could feel the fire that ignited from intoxication but even while my mind is cloudy and scrambled like eggs for breakfast; i still feel these dreadful feelings that i was attempting to get away from, by drowning myself in something that could hurt me; but even so, my feelings for you still manage to linger and cause me the most pain. you lit a fire in me that doesn't burn out; please god give me the will to grab the coldest water that i could ever find to blow out this flame because what's the point in keeping it lit when the person who stroke the match doesn't stand by it anymore to keep warm.

everything burns but you're still there
when your fears become a reality your little speck of hope that resides within you disintegrates into something so drastic and so profound that it destroys you and your sanity.

*the place that i once knew encased with trees and flowers protecting its tranquility now dies by the hands of man losing its beauty it once had the rocks are crushed and turn to dust by just one touch the standing trees have either vanished or have fallen into the river that still runs the river holds the last piece of life this place has left it still runs along this place it is still hidden behind the only mass of trees that still stand please oh please don't let the river die too.*

dying sanctuary
Sadness is not just a silly little toy that you can just pick up and play with, show off to your friends as if it were a prize. It is something so much more and far more dangerous, It's like a thousand steely knives piercing into you into every existent part of your body And you just bleed, and bleed and bleed and you never stop bleeding until there's nothing left but skins and bones and emptiness. So why would anyone desire such a thing, why would anyone just use it to gain pity and sympathy? This is not beautiful it is not a spectacle It never was like that scrape you got from falling off your bike at the age of 6 It's a treacherous path you're taking, to force such a thing upon yourself Sadness immerses you like a tidal wave swallowing a cruise ship whole When you realize you're drowning it's already too late You can't escape what lies inside without destroying yourself You've been caught in your own trap It's not so silly now, is it? It's an illness within you your own demons devouring you from the inside out and it's all in your ******* head Many encourage such a horrid thing and don't even realize the effect of their ****** and poisonous words What a sick and immoral thing that a human being could do, waste their time on Earth to get rid of another's And yet you people glorify such a ****** emotion, as if it were a silly little toy you children play with
