My subconscious, soaked in melancholy, has seeped through the cracks and crevasses which once did not exist. And in this ocean of sorrow, I find myself drowning

But high school doesn't teach you how to stop loving someone; so I know that the universe is ever expanding, and I know that you can't **** viruses with pills But I'm still trying to figure out how to make my throat burn less every time I see your ******* face

We ran the streets that spring evening. And I think that's when I first fell in love with you. We ran the streets that month of March. And that's when the taste of your lips stained my brain forever. You left me that harsh summer night. And I think that's when I first felt true heart break. You left me that harsh summer night. And that's when the stains on my sleeves became real, and you became a part of my dreams forever. I'm moving on now.

Learning to breathe again is Harder than the doctors Said it would be Gasping for air And I find myself Choking on your Name

Love can be one sided but I still Wonder if that is love at all And then I think That one sided love Is probably the strongest Love of them all To love someone Unconditionally, unwaveringly Without receiving love back That's true love And true love Never fails to Break my heart

Unconditional
Being with you was like being in a car with the gas pedal slammed down to the floor and nothing to do but hold on and pretend to have some semblance of control. But control was something I'd lost a long time ago

I wanted to write a poem about flowers, so that's what I did. It was short, expressed how I feel, and cut like glass. I showed my father "Flowers" and he thought it was mediocre. And I said, "No, "Mediocre" is the poem where I talk about dying, and I'm trying to stay alive, so I wrote about flowers." Flowers strangling soil plots with their roots, with their existence. And to hurt something you love with your existence is a terrible feeling.

But can biology explain the physical pain in my chest that I feel only when someone whispers your name

I can pick at my skin for hours Focus on every conceivable flaw Shake until my body curls up on the shower floor Most have never seen me at my worst, when I’m stuck in an apathetic neutral state Washed out between the highs of my need for thrill And the lows of panic screaming in my veins I have the the soul of an extrovert beaten to submission Shot down and repeating the mantra “worthless” What do you believe, if not yourself How could I? How many more steps do I take before I’m back, Before the mirror doesn't make me want to shatter What is my mantra now?
