We once worshiped gods and looked to the stars. / Then we learned that gods could fade, and stars can die. / Sooner or later, we all do.
The night was pouring down hard. Dropping down tear-shaped raindrops On the dry asphalt of the sun-burnt roads Abused by the scorching autumn sun Opposite to my heart, the night was a shade of reddish pink Instead of its usual perpetual black. The peace of nighttime that was so often replaced with guilt was instead filled with sounds of static and light. On these nights, I would lay and ponder on the Barely finite number of transgressions I've made With a near aleph-zero infinity of mistakes for every drop of this rain. Every night, Words and scenes reappear and repeat before my eyes and mind, A loop of remorse and grief, And only now, with the glow of the 1AM twilight, will I write it down. My eyes were shut after every grueling luminous day. My mouth was shut after every recursive morning and afternoon. Tonight, my eyes and mouth were wide open. The static of billions of crashing souls. The quake of the sky at every turn of the eye. The sudden fleeting flashes of hope and clarity. And as the words flew through me and into the screen, An experience that so long ago once emptied me of worry, I found regret.

Moment of Clarity
letters are nothing more than symbols just lucky strokes upon a white background that project memories, feelings, images, experiences words, spoken words, are nothing more than just sounds just skin touching more skin vibrating the air around it to produce grunts, noises, sighs, screeches, music colors that we see are nothing more than waves of electromagnetic radiation just light bouncing off of matter to show beauty, danger, lightness, darkness everything in this world You Me are just coincidences just random bits of probability infinity to one the chances anything would happen is basically zero everything at any point could have went wrong yet after half the life of eternity i met you i read your symbols i heard your sounds i saw your light the right symbols: infinity to one the right sounds: omega to one the right light: aleph-null to one but everything about you was right and here we are clearly an impossibility with our chances infinitely close to zero every second approaching zero reaching its limit and now here with our chances lining up virtually never to be i saw you and i fell into you and in one reality every infinity you fell for me too if only i was in one of those

Infinitesimals
This boy, who had so much light in his eyes whenever he talked about the things he loves. This boy, who was my best friend the person I can share the deep thoughts of my mind with. This boy, who never failed to be right by my side when I just needed holding. This boy, who was there to listen to my pointless ramblings and complaints and curses. This boy, who put up with all of my **** even if it humiliated him and most of the time, pained him. This boy, who invested his time talking to a boring girl like me. This boy who dedicated so much and cared so much and loved so much. This boy, who did not push me to love him but instead tried his best to show reasons for me to love myself. This boy, who had so many ideas kept all to himself. This boy, who put so much effort into helping me that he forgets to help himself. This boy, who doesn't know how brilliant he is but is focused on his flaws. This boy, who wrote beautiful poems always unnoticed. This boy, who was so in love with a girl that he was willing to die for her. This boy, whose good heart was so tired and fed up. This boy, who wanted to give up and give in to the voices inside his head. This boy, who carried so much pain in his heart and hatred in his skin. This boy, who dragged cigarettes in the evening hoping to release the pain. This boy, who simply wanted to escape from the pains of feeling worthless and unrequited love. This boy, who was willing to free himself and fly from the roof. This boy, who wanted to die. *This boy, who was losing the light in his eyes*.

Life woke up. All was nothingness. Then light sets in. The absence of darkness Makes it weep. Life started to grow. Controlled by strangers. Sharing the love they had. Then they leave. The absence of them. Makes it weep. Life grew longer. Books, notes, lectures. Leeching time away. Then failure comes. The absence of success. Makes it weep. Life adapted. Friends pushing forward. Supporting, never leaving. Then life repeated itself. The absence of company. Makes it weep. Life moved on. Strangers come and go. Proud, happy, loving. Then the truth is revealed. The absence of trust. Makes it weep. Life learned. The day came to an end. Loneliness prevailed. Then life slept again. The absence of light. Makes it smile.

It was never me
When you get to that point When you know that you've hit the bottom And you can't get back up by yourself You turn to the one you trust the most The one you love the most The only one who could help you And you tell her And she pushed you away And she didnt believe you And she said she was tired of putting up with all of your **** Abd she said she knows she will be the ******* enemy in the end And she was sick of it. No more, she said So she left you Left you alone More alone than ever And then you think Then you realize you really have hit the lowest possible point The lowest point in your whole life Then you realize your graph doesnt change Your line never got above the worst It was always at the bottom It was only now you realize that you were there the whole time So you do the only thing to fix it Why be alive anyway if death was just the same, but the pain will go away. Forever.

I can't ask for more This is all I'm getting 30 seconds That's all the time I have That's all the time I need It kills me to say these words But I will never let the sadness show Not today. Not ever. Not to anyone else. Not anymore. My impossible girl, Thank you and goodbye

What could I have done?
It's time to let you be free It's time for me to finally let you go You are no longer trapped with me You can do whatever you want You don't need me anymore You can find someone else Someone who will stay Someone better Run along Have fun Be whatever you want Be whoever you want Go play the games that I could never enjoy with you. Go to the beautiful fields that I could never take you. Go sing the songs that I could never serenade you with. Go read the books that I could never give you Go tell your secrets that I could never keep Go run away to the places I could never go with you. Go make the memories that I could never be included in Go fall in love with the man I could never be Make the loneliness of your absence Worthwhile

You don't need to remember who I was
This could very well be The last time we're ever going to see each other In a very long while In fact, we may never see each other again But tonight, Just this one night, Let's pretend that we'll never leave eachother's side. Let's pretend that we will keep the promise That we'll always be there. Let's pretend that we will and will alway will be Our missing half. And let's pretend that we have more day to be together. So our hearts will know that we will find each other One more time
