Forever Unhappy.
Forever unhappy. / These words echo throughout my mind searching for a landing spot / as if my mind was made up of cliffs, instead of a straight cave.

I watched your happiness shining / A great light, resting / in the palm of your hands

Through days spent hollow / With quiet words to swallow / This is what I’ve come to learn

His Song
My guardian angel takes the wheel when a sad song / shuffles from my iPod to my car stereo speakers / then fills the space inside until I am paralyzed

You'll Never
What I envy most is that you’ll never wake with this kind of suffocating sadness that feels like it eats away at something behind your ribcage. Not quite your heart because in this type of sadness it retreats to its place of repair. Maybe your lungs, for breathing feels **** near impossible. You’ll never wake with your chest so heavy. You’ll never wake with a fist punched into your stomach twisting you nauseous. You’ll never wake with paralyzed limbs that prevent you from moving. You’ll never wake wishing you never woke. But because of this, you’ll never wake next to the love of your life. You’ll never wake up to know love. And I don’t envy you at all.

I’ve learned to be dishonest / so you will never know / how sad that I can get
