I'm sorry for every self-destructive thought I'm sorry that i want to **** my lungs I'm sorry that he wasn't you I'm sorry i only know how to deal with pain on my own I'm sorry i made you love me i dont deserve a single drop of your love that seeps through me like an ocean its waves rocking me to sleep every night all i can say is I'm sorry i say it a thousand times a day you know this but i always feel like a thousand and just one more might be somehow more adequate

for the one i love
bruised eyes your unsteady hands my uneasy smile you look down at the floor smoke another then another picking at scabs pulling at burn holes your dead weight my dead lungs heavy heart shuffling feet cold kisses hot showers black coffee stained teeth I love you where's the cigarettes

I like long car rides through the woods while listening to sad songs I like collar bones I like songs that romanticize him sleeping with another I like when his hands shake I like messy handwriting I hate being around lots of loud people I hate when jokes are carried out to long I don't believe in talking just for the sake of it It breaks my heart how beautiful humanity is I'd rather be broke and happy than rich and sad I like when my fathers drunk because he says all kinds of things I'll never hear him say sober I hate most shades of green I cry almost every day I love Charles Bukowski and F. Scott Fitzgerald their writing makes me feel alive I hate the taste of *** I drink ***** like water I think I'd still love him with his hands covered in my blood Pictures of bunnies make me smile He knows this I over romanticize the the little habits he has but they truly are my favorite thing when I said "I love you" for the first time I thought I meant it I didn't really mean it until it seemed too inadequate a phrase I love fresh green grass even though it makes my skin red I like how clothes smell when they come out of the dryer, but I hate washing clothes. I love how my mother is so forgetful, I hate how she forgets my feelings. I don't like birds, but I wish I could fly away. I hate ignorant people, I dislike my own ignorance more. I don't have the patience to read long poems but I could listen to readings for days I always stumble over my words when I'm excited. Green and red are not suitable house colors. Maybe I'm not as complicated as I feel I still remember how disappointed he looked that day I broke his heart I can take others hurting me but I can't hurt others I like my dad's girlfriend and not just because she give me alcohol I drink to **** my insides I don't see a point in living for a long time I like angry music It seems more alive than happy songs I hate my English teacher but I still think he's brilliant The Great Gatsby changed my life as much as a work of fiction can I've only been in love with boys with blue eyes I only have three best friends I'm constantly terrified that they hate me I feel grown up when he holds my hand in his car The little things he does to impress me make my heart flutter I love when summer is turning into fall I've been a parent since the age of three My mom thinks I internalize other peoples pain until it destroys me Maybe she's right I follow about 118 people on twitter I only know about 30 of them I've been suicidal since the age of 13 My mother doesn't know It would break my fathers heart It breaks my own heart I compulsively run my fingers through my hair when I'm nervous He thinks it's cute and laughs I love his laugh I can never finish a meal I hate eating in front of people I don't believe in god I did when I was younger I wish I could sing but I wouldn't want to be a singer I've never spent the night in the same bed as a boy I hope he changes that I try to be sincere I often fail I drink too much for my age But others drink more I hate when people worry about me But I don't know how to make them stop I can't listen to the news without crying I like raw genuine emotion I hate absolutes I always kiss on the first date I dont believe his promises even though I say I do My wardrobe consists of blues grays and blacks I hate where I live but I think that's common If I lived somewhere else I wouldn't of met him It makes me angry that my best friend got to kiss him She's no longer my best friend I don't like being questioned Small talk bores me I don't sleep well I have vivid dreams about terrible things There isn't a reason for why I write Except it feels like there's an animal eating away at my insides when I'm not writing

i can't breathe when i think about you my heart beats too fast my lungs collapse someone once told me that means you're in love but it just feels like I'm suffocating why do we associate love with pain? maybe I'm afraid you've caused so much hurt before (and so have i) i loved you once and loved is just too similar to love it scares me to have loved is painful to love is worse and I'm suffocating just thinking about both

suffocation
I could string together intricate words to form beautiful sentences all explaining how the color of your eyes reminds me of the Arizona sky or the ocean during a storm but all I really want is your heart in my hands and your lips planted on mine

my parents taught me that manipulation is a form of love and keeping yourself hidden is the only way to survive my first love taught me that the only way to receive love is to use your body not your heart or mind the one i loved most taught me that you have to give everything until you are nothing my best friend taught me that perfection is more important than beauty and sometimes you have to cheat to get what you want the one who loved me most taught me that people are intricate beings and you never really know someone and *** and love can't exist together so now i love the ones who manipulate me i keep myself hidden i use my body not my mind i **** in my stomach and only eat when people are watching and have *** with strangers

the lessons I've learned
I've become attracted to pain the pain the world feels the pain i cause others the pain you caused me it's my drug to shoot into bruised viens making my heart race my blood turning to lead you see things that don't exist people that aren't there I'm addicted but not in the traditional sense i try to stay away but it's a magnetic pull a fault in my stars a genetic defect of sorts the imbalance of chemicals in my brain i try to avoid the pain like an alcoholic avoids sobriety happiness creeps back but theres always a high before the low it's the low that has me i crave it the pain leaves my limbs weak my eyes dark but it never disappoints it wraps me in its hold promising to be there when the high is too high

The musics in my soul Bass vibrating through the floor Shaking through the crowd The electric guitars screaming Vocal cords dragging out notes With breathless beauty Sweat drips down his face This is music It electrifies your soul

Daddy doesn't care Daddy didn't call His little girl is bleeding But no he didn't call The little girl is hurt She feels so alone Daddy didn't call His little girl is crying Nobody is there Daddy isn't busy Why hasn't he called His little girl is left alone To clean up all the mess She wipes away the blood And dries up all her tears Daddy knows whats happening but daddy didn't call He comes by a week later Sits her down Concern in his eyes "Baby why do you do it" She says "Daddy you never called"

daddy
I asked you to hurt me To break every piece of me You looked at me with sad eyes You sighed, "I love you darling" I didn't understand That didn't hurt me I remembered this months later With tears in my eyes I didn't understand then But now I do
