i find myself thinking a lot about death and what it means to be alive and i wonder if it is ever going to end but if the pain of my short existence is foreshadowing a larger void that i will be trapped in until i end, an inescapable spiral. although i do not have years on my side i know myself, i know my heart, and it leads me to question whether age really does mean wisdom; will i someday learn happiness?

what it means to exist
you keep telling me to stop apologising for my own existence and that i shouldn’t be sorry for who i am but i can’t stop i can’t stop how can i believe you when every moment i am awake i feel like hiding, when my actions feel like grenades going off and nobody quite realising the damage until its too late, when i choke back the lump in my throat whenever i see my reflection or think of you how, how, how

leaving
someday you will ache your heart will harden and shatter in your chest and I hope like hell that the person that can hold you together and warm your frozen bones isn't 1000 miles away kissing someone else's skin

torture
and so I surrounded myself in bright colours, and tiny little flowers, I started going to sleep at normal times and in the morning I would brush my hair, I learned to smile, but the truth is, I still love the rain.

here's to my heartache
The pain I feel is something no one endures Each passing second I do not know what to feel One thing is for sure With time, I shall reveal Lovingly, I tell you How will I say this? My love is something that cannot push through But when I am with you, I feel bliss However, you break this heart every time "Why do you do this?", I say As sour as a lime You will always play Your love has gone bone dry Yet when will the time come to say goodbye?

goodbye?
*It's 5:30 in the morning and the very memory of You lingers as the most bittersweet of aftertastes.* I'm quivering, and this is what it feels like to be brimming with poetry; to have only just woken up, in restlessness, full of words. And I'm writing about You, because I spend every sleeping hour searching for You in That world, and by the stars  I will find You. I will always find you. For when you disappeared I lost a part of me that made me more than whole; You gave me happiness, even as my vision grew bleak, You have given me Love in all its beauty with each gentle caress and long-missed embrace. I confess; I Love too deeply. And You have given me so much to cherish that being in a world without You in it is unthinkable, unbearable, unfathomable; Even emptier than before. Your Love is bright as ever, even in the shadows~ You are beautiful. And You will always be beautiful even when your hair's white and in a mess, even when we're older and been through so much, I will take one look at You and let you know every single time that I Love You and that you really do mean a lot me. My Love, I miss you so; I want you back in my arms.

If no one ever told you that you breathe an invisible gas at all times and it is always surrounding you, then it would have absolutely no meaning. You wouldn't appreciate the value of it until you're gasping for it and begging. I remember the day you left. You walked out of the room and I watched as all the oxygen followed you until there was nothing left. Some people never get to see what it looks like in a room with no air, gravity left and the pain was too much to bare. Face turning blue, everything floating around the room, I wonder if I was more worried of getting my breath back or you turning around and coming back. As I float off, ready for the inevitable, everything slams to the floor as you run threw the door! I inhale deeply and before I can exhale you say "sorry, I forgot my shoes!"

yours were the arms that held me together in the night, and i was simply a spare blanket to keep you warm.
