Why do I continue to hold the flame
When so many times it has burned me

You ever bite your tongue,
to not hurt someone with the truth?
You bite down even harder,
knowing it's only hurting you.

I think I'll enjoy loving you
just from a distance
In this little space in my mind
Where the best version of you lives
I'll be satisfied loving you
where my fears are silenced by dreams
and you know my every insecurity
and the charm never fades
I love you, I'm sure I do,
But maybe its just the fantasy I love
That maybe its not me, but its you
but part of me knows that I'm more afraid
of me being the problem

Its called falling in love, like an accident
As if something unplanned, that you cant understand
But I didn't fall in love with you, I never did
Because we walked into love, hand in hand

we are hidden in the dark of the room
we are tucked in the warmth of the bed
your lips burn kisses through the skin of my back
my fingers scratch fondly at the scalp of your head.
you are lost in the deepest sleep
i am trapped in an aching wake
in your dreams, you whisper you will always love me
in your room, i whisper: "don't make that mistake."

dissecting the self for strangers;
an ugly kind of exhibition.
"too personal! too much!"
my inner self screams.
and yet it is something I need to do,
to purge these demons by commemorating them as art,
to make sure I remember to forget.

it's just like me
to lose touch
forget where i am
and say too much
reality so jarring
but i fail to hide
a mixture of insecurity
and fragile pride
i want to be happy
but i want to be right
i mean i don't want to
say it's all been a lie
just so damaged
that i can't tell between
my intuition
and the intrusive thoughts always plaguing me
and i'm sorry if it feels
like i'm closing in
i know that i
can get too intense
i'll just stop explaining
making no sense
like i said before
we're better off as friends :/

Tell me,
How can
Emptiness
Be so heavy?
Some days
The burden is lighter
A helping hand
Carries the weight
With a smile
Or maybe
I find a place
Where it would be safe
To leave it for a while
It always makes its way
Back into it's place
In the middle of me

no one loves me
but they claim they care
if they really did wouldn't they see
i am falling apart
fragile to the touch
yet they keep on pushing me
closer to the edge
and they think i can take more
so they push farther till i'm at the brink
it's like they know i can't swim
but they are going overboard
and they'll be suprised when i sink
