I haven't been able to concentrate today. Everything is out of focus, except for you. You are in painstaking clarity. You are flooding my mind and I am drowning Submerged in memories that play on a loop We've become entangled and we enjoyed it because we only considered the present and ignored the inevitable future Now its crashed all around us I'm struggling to untie the knots Because I don't want to Because I'm afraid you'll drift away But then I remember why I fell for you Because we have an insane amount of things in common Because you are fun to talk to Because we make each other laugh Thats when I know that everything will be alright That I can breathe easy That we'll always be friends

Why I Fell For You
My essential ***** is essentially orphaned Drifting alone to the tune of sad songs That beat with the beat of your chest Enveloped within a fantasy it developed: That our hearts may have won by becoming as one My reasoning mind finding reasons to mind The emotions that keep me in motion Still swallowed by love for you now I am swallowing to Try erasing the doubts that are daunting: That I'll never be whole with this hole where you were My full body fully embodies the emptiness That lays down in places where only you've laid There's times when my soul can think solely of you but I would be remiss not to be reminiscing: A piece of me now rests in peace with the first that I loved

Mysterious Experience
I am in a place where I used to be free But now each day tears me apart mockingly My loved ones are crying My loved ones are dying The pain chips at me, it is pain so it must It proves that life only turns dust back to dust I need your love now more than I ever did But you wouldn't know, you have no more to give

fists clenched, bile burning thoughts screaming, stomach churning no moment of peace

new day
Because I am terrible at using my words, I often intervene with body language. But I will never be able to say through an embrace "I love you," "don't leave me," and “won't you please stay?” if all you do is continuously silence me each time you pull away. v.g

Unspoken
Do you do what I do too? Do you lie with starry skies Unable to rest your eyes? Do you stay in cold, still wait Just to see the sunrise break? Do you hope those first few rays Can wake your mind from its bleak haze? Do you wish it's painted bright To ease aside the lonely night? Morning dew, if you do too, You saw today was gray in hue But since you do what I do too, Know someone's in the dark with you

Dear Morning Dew:
Losing touch with my reality Body shaking, heartbeat quivering Scared on a rooftop, too high to get down I needed help, I needed you And you, my constant, led me down No more drugs for me, I said Wishing this was not my reality Body burdened, heartbeat heavy Scared on a rooftop, but now I'm not high I still need you, but can't have you My constant, constantly on my mind I can see it now, my fix was you You were everything to me No more drugs for me, I said I guess that's why I lost you
