Borderline
I have everything, / I have nothing. / I fit in everywhere,

Insomnia.
It's 11pm and I'm lying awake. I'm trying to erase the memory of you. Every time I close my eyes I feel you laying next to me. I hear you saying you love me. I hear you call me baby. I try to call out to you, but I am met with silence. We still love each other, but we can not reach one another. There is too much distance for us to ever be reunited. I'm left with the bitter taste of you and all of our memories. I wonder if I will ever stop longing for you. If I will ever sleep peacefully. My mind can't accept you're not here. And you're never coming back home..

Never
If you knew the things I'd done, / You'd never think of me again. / I wouldn't cross your mind,

Pain
Sleep envelops in such a sweet embrace. / The torment I am unable to face. / Fingers in knots; the pills are out of grasp

Slave
I'm a slave to my body / Left to put up with the pain / Feels like one sick, crazy game

The end.
It's finally the end for us. / We're both moving on. / Doing what we both said we'd never do,

The lesson is complete
It doesn't matter if people leave our lives. What is meant to be will always stay. If you reveal yourself fully to another, and they reject you outright, it is a gain, not a loss. No person or situation is inherently "bad", it is simply your reaction to it. To open yourself up despite the fear of complete rejection is beautiful. It is not something to be ashamed of to shed the facade we are all guilty of hiding behind. Nothing is more raw or astonishing than the unfiltered version of ourselves. One day we will see why the others didn't work out. Why the others rejected us despite our efforts. Why they decided to flee at the first sign of our true selves. When we accept ourselves for who we are is when we will find peace. We shall not receive peace seeking solace and approval from another. No human relationship is truly perfect. They are rife with suffering, ignorance, and pain. No matter how "perfect" they seem for us, we will part ways. One of us will die. One of us may get sick. One of us may leave to be with another. Our love may crumble. Our interests may change. Undoubtedly, we will go along different paths. Instead of mourning this inevitability, we should embrace the impermanence of our situation. We should celebrate the lessons we learned from this beautiful soul. We should rejoice in the happy memories we once had. Things that may be lost, but never forgotten. / Yes, the lesson has been learned.

"Will I ever love again?" / I can't help but wonder to myself. / Thoughts of missing you come in waves,

Untitled.
That blade seemed to have all the answers. / Invading my cells like a cancer. / Watching it unfold, I’ve come to the brink.
