I sit up in my bed, wondering if you feel the same tension that courses through me. Your feet trill in and out of your room, and you leave the hall light on. It illumines the cracks around my door and I wait to see shadowy feet at the bottom accompanied with a faint knock. It never comes.
Is it just me? Am I the only one breaking from our recent distance of souls?
We used to be so in sync, and together we made a harmony that I now can only recall like an aged dream. It seems that we have both switched keys in this song, and now our notes only create dissonance. I was sure our tunes would meet again to compose a grand resolution, but it seems that you stopped listening long ago.

I remember that feeling
that heavy weight I held
just wanting to die already
but being terrified of hell
I was suicidal
but only in my mind
I could never make my body commit that selfish, wanted crime
my breathing had no point
and my life felt like death
I couldn't see past the pain that I wanted to forget
"you'll always be alone" kept ringing through my head
telling me that all would be fine when I was finally dead
I just wish I could travel back
and tell me where I am
out of that black hole
and into life again
they say it gets better
which is hard to believe
but I now can testify
that it rang true for me

You left a hole in my heart when you said "Goodbye."
I begged at your feet for a reason why.
Your face, stone, showed no sympathy
At the broken pieces you made of me.
You left a hole in my heart when you walked away.
I keep trying to fill it, but it stays the same.
Everyday, a challenge to breathe.
Every second, more depressing.
You left a hole in my heart now that I'm alone.
The darkness consumes my lonely soul.
Happiness is just a faint memory
Of the life I lived when you were with me.

I'm better off without you
I'm really starting to see
Now that time has past
I've dried my tear soaked sleeves
I thought you were my angel
What a cunning disguise
Turns out you were my demon
Crippling my mind
So thanks for the memories
But I'm finally moving on
It seems that to catch my breath
I needed you gone

Why do
**the ones
I love**
the most
**put me
through**
the most
torture ?

I gave you the key to the garden where my secrets were safely kept,
And I showed you the flowers sown by my scars, my mistakes, and the corners where they were neatly swept.
But under the stars, you came in and trampled it all while I peacefully slept.
You had planned this all along, I'd consider it a successful attempt.
I awoke to the gate barely swinging on its hinges,
Horrified of what I would discover next, every muscle in my body cringes.
You've created a fire in me, destroying the trails, the fresh air, it singes.
The bright colors of my flowers, the flames, it tinges.
Realizing what you had done, my hopes began to sink.
All the lies you whispered to me, I wasn't sure what to think.
I should have seen this coming, the puzzle pieces began to link.
So I grabbed a piece of paper,
Using my heart as the ink.
I painted my mistakes as a precaution for the world to see,
Lines, details, colors brushed with my regrets, each stroke, showing them what they didn't want to be.
Seeing the finished picture, I knew I had found the purpose meant for me,
To make a beautiful work of art, using the power of broken poetry.

Life is a mountain.
We're all here trying to climb it, always searching for the top.
There are things that promise to bring us there, such as money or power, but they still leave us climbing.
Most people will spend their lives on this endless hunt for contentment- the top of the mountain.
But there are some who realize that the top of the mountain is only an illusion that keeps us climbing.
You can either spend your life controlled by the climb, or you can execute the only power you possess, and let go.
Maybe, upon reaching the bottom, there is finally relief.

I'm afraid to speak my mind
because I'm afraid I'll offend
So I keep it all inside
Control the message that I send
They say not to hoard feelings
but don't you dare disagree
Because no answer is wrong
unless it contradicts me

I'm slowly, silently dying.
No one knows. No one cares.

The selfish part of me
Wants to be the one
To save you
But I know
That's not the way
I can't light up all your shadows
Because sometimes
Darkness traps me too
