lungs-collapsed.tumblr.com / / you cannot imagine a colour you have not seen
I miss touch, I miss love, I miss the softness; skin on skin bones intertwined like an ancient oak trees roots who have been married so long they will never find their way out of the labyrinth 
I am scared that is me
 I am scared of the labyrinth 
 A maze of corners, sneers and turns. Is it is, I'm chasing you Again 
And I thought you loved me like that, we could all see it coming 
I’m sorry I’m so bitter, I honestly want you to be happy, but I sit here and listen to you while on the other side I’m sobbing. No 
Not at your words but the fact that they weren’t coming out your mouth the night you ****** her 
The night you fell out of love with me
 Like people say, for the same reasons
 This is why no one could love me
 **** I’m sorry, this started out so simple
 Just my thoughts on a page, but now it is a mess of people’s minds, people’s emotions I miss touch, I miss love, I miss the softness; skin on skin. Bones broken.

Something is missing
Darkness
 The floors are wet 
 The smell of rusting metal lingers in the air 
Am I awake?
 I look down at my hands but I cannot see my feet touching the floor
. For gods sake Is this real? My worst nightmare is you My lips pressed against your mouth as the tip of my tongue slides against yours Yet I cannot touch you. 
 Like my hands are bound behind my back except these ropes are made of my own skin
 and flesh And there was guilt rotting in the bottom of my stomach 
 Because I shouldn’t be dreaming of you anymore but as I close my eyes it’s not you on my mind It’s her It’s her lashing out at my best friend because she’s drunk again and bad memories are back 
The blood on her knuckles and the tears rolling down her face scares me to death because I know this is not her but I've seen it before It’s watching her walk away from me because she can’t handle having to see my bones crack and my soul seeping out through my skin like the black tar covering my lungs It’s her having to watch me breakdown 
It’s her having to see me when I can’t even bring myself to get out of bed
 It’s her having to see me leave because I don’t know what’s good for me 
 It’s her having to see me with him.

Nightmare
I am distant I am the cold wind howling through Bare trees I am a single snowflake falling to the pavement melting on impact I am the spitting before the rain I am nothing except a warning before the big storm It is nothing Because I feel nothing I mean nothing To this lonely world

Seasons
Its one of those nights the sickening ache in my stomach won’t leave everything is so loud i cannot hear peoples speech, just the screams of the voices so tightly compact in my head. They are bottled up inside yearning to get out. I’ve been thinking too much of you telling my self to stop saying sorry under my breath. As if you could hear me. My hands shake I dropped the glass of water it smashes to the kitchen floor glass and liquid scattered across the room my blood smeared across the laminate flooring as i try to clean up my mess. Nothing ever seems to go right for me I cannot even keep myself alive

Keep yourself alive
Burn incense to block out the smell of death and self hate
 that lingers in your room
, as you sit up
 at 3am 
thinking too much
, because your mind is
 never at rest. The musky scent and stuffy atmosphere
, will breakdown your thinking pattern
 and your thoughts leaving you mellowed
 and able to sleep
 for a while… Somedays every feeling and all my thoughts bombard my mind like a hurricane
 Bashing against the walls of my skull wanting to be spilled all over the page
. like ink in a fountain pen. Yet there are days I cannot even think
 of words to say
, when you ask me
 what's on my mind or if I’m okay.

Calm
Admire the stars Look up into the galaxies The sky goes on for miles Thousands of solar systems Waiting to be explored The stars twinkle lightyears away Domed above our existence Watching us as we sleep Calming and peaceful It holds us tightly in our atmosphere

Space
I can’t feel
 anything At all.
 There is nothing,
 My mind is blank.
 Writing is getting hard,
 My words just 
 Feed into each other Thereisnospacetomoveinthismess. I can’t focus longer than
 A couple minutes,
 If that. It’s like everything is a dream;
 Now and again 
I wake up 
Into a blurred reality,
 S lowly 
drifting away again 
Into the nothingness. I cannot make out what you are saying,
 Scream at me; 
I don’t understand. Anger takes over me,
 And a headache 
that hasn’t budged for days,
 Suddenly rips out of me
 Exploding into the air
 Covering everything within 5meters;
With stardust 
And gun powder.
 (I can’t tell the difference) You’re the only thing 
that could make me feel 
A little more alive
 At the moment,
 But I can’t even 
get close enough 
 To your face,
 Without shaking 
 And then collapsing 
To the floor. I’ll smoke cigarettes
 And get drunk; 
Just to be able 
To hear you whisper 
In my ear
 And to block out 
 The muffled voices 
in my mind.

Claustrophobia
I’ve been pulled and pushed around all my life
 Like a rag doll 
 And it has ended up
 Where I am just going with the wind Push me away
 Pull me back close 
Mess me around 
I dont care anymore
 I’ve gotten used to
 Being used

Used
I don’t want to sleep There are too many noises (Too many voices) 
The tick 
 Tick 
 Ticking of the clock
 And the silent buzz
 Of street lamps
 Outside my window
 I can hear her breathing
 Like the wind
 Rushing through the trees 
My heart beat
 Pulsing in my chest
 It gets harder to breathe
 Take it slow
 Count the seconds My mind is so awake
 But my eyelids 
Are falling 
closed
 And i am choking 
 
Inhaling
 Smoke and demons
 Exhaling
 Carbon dioxide And ash clouds My hands are shaky And my fingers 
Are burning red 
I feel an electric shock
 Jolt through my body
 Then entire numbness
