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

the other girl
i would like to be able to pretend that the lines written over my skin are a sad poem of the love i had for you, a reminder of the pain of heartbreak, but in reality, they are just ugly reminder that i gave you all of me and you left.

scars
they asked me to write about you and so i did i wrote of how i fell how very hard that was but when it came to writing of how little you cared in comparison to the universe of love i had for you i could not bring myself to move my fingers across the keyboard because how do you explain months of pain and heartache in a way that shows it completely without feeling as though you are reliving it?

it still hurts
i think my biggest mistake was thinking you were the only thing that could make me happy
