American I am utterly obsessed with all things poetry. / I was a dreamer from the start. / Slowly yet gradually learning to live, and that's not even the best part.
Here I lie in a room, alone. Due to my mood, its like lying in my own casket. Posters look at me with empathy, Posters entice me. I've been this room alone about 5 hours. Feels like an eternity since she left. This posters have been the only ones keeping me company. My mind is hollow, empty, filled with anger and jealousy I cannot describe. This silence slowly driving me crazy. Is this purgatory? Trapped in my head, in this room, alone.

Mental Purgatory
How can someone who fills me with such torment, leave with such joy in life? She's asleep beside me. She leaves my soul burning, but beneath this burning, is a feeling of bliss. A feeling better than any position, or narcotic I've taken in my life. A feeling as euphoric as heaven She is my ****** While I sit here watching, all the good memories that disappear. And I intern, become haunted by everything that taints my affection. As the clock hits quarter to four, I should probably try get some rest. For within the next 24 hours, I've to be ready to welcome this again.

So She Sleeps
If you're ever feeling sad If you're ever feeling down If you ever cease to smile And you begin to frown. If you're ever feeling lonely If you're ever feeling blue... Just know that I'm right here And I'm willing to help you.

You only get one line... I think... I've squandered mine...

Squandered (10w)
1. Like smoke in my lungs, it is an acquired taste that I could not bring myself to quit. And now that I have, the flavor is unprecedentedly toxic. 2. Your name is merely a catalyst to my relapse. You turned your head away from it then, and I know you will turn your head away from it now. 3. To hear that beautiful arrangement of letters coming from my own lips only reminds me of the genuine smile on your face that you can only have when I am gone. And every time it makes me wonder if I truly mean it when I say I am happy for you. 4. I cannot reconcile what is with what could have been. Maybe if I was still yours and you were still mine, it would be endearing to say your name. 5. When it's 4 am and I am falling apart in my half empty bed, I cannot find the breath to utter your name between sobs. 6. I have spent too much time pretending that your absence has had no affect on me that I have not yet grieved. But, I could never pity myself without shouting your name into an empty void. 7. Maybe I am only idealizing you, but his name left a bitter taste and I have been craving yours on my lips. 8. I cannot say your name because I know that if you were to turn your head in recognition, I'd get lost in those blue eyes and fall for you all over again. 9. There is no logic behind how I inherited the right to say your name. Since you have left, this complacency is eating me alive and I am only left to wonder why someone so beautiful would have ever touched a soul like mine. 10. I cannot speak of your name any longer because it is no longer my privilege. It is hers to say now.

A broken relationship A broken heart A broken soul A broken life A heart can be sewn A soul can be mended A life can be repaired But a relationship takes two people... And if one isn't willing It will never be put back together...

A relationship takes two people
Tears of sorrow Tears of pain Tears that gleam with light Tears of despair Tears of heartbreak Tears that keep you up all night Tears of joy Tear of grief Tears that are buried deep inside Tears of abuse Tears of embrace Tears that are too hard to hide Tears of death Tears of life Tears that make you smile Tears of hope Tears of chance Tears that haven't shown in a while...

Types of tears.
When I see a rose, I see it pass with time, And slowly I start to realize as my life follows behind. When I see a rose, I see beauty in its simplest form, Wearing those survival scars proudly from the storm. When I see a rose, I see all the pain it can cause. With thorns like steal it forces those to take a metaphorical pause When I see a rose, I see the pain that lies within Cutting off the roses’ lifeline should be considered sin When I see a rose, I see as the world kills it. Slowly but surely the beauty’s wounds catch up with it. When I see a rose, I see, well I see hope and love inside What do you see when you see a rose?
