no how can you leave now after swaying my heart eroding my doubts and filling those holes with seeds of dreams for our future

disrupted
Controlled. Precise. Intentional. There's chaos in my carefully constructed circle. Unsure how long composure can be held desiring nothing more than to scream and beg for help

dissipating
missed calls texts left on read _why?_ _how did we get here?_ we went from obnoxious surpluses of excitement to crushing quantities of hesitation and restraint eyes clouded as check-marks turn to green and active status fades out unable to move staring motionlessly at texts, as unwanted as myself trapped by a prison of thoughts gazing through tearful vision

left on read
unforgiving silence flesh on vacant sheets the usual shadow prison creeps closer grips tighter than ever before relentless the fingers of uncertainty restrict thought this hold it has won't be leaving for many moons as clocks turn these violent spectres become increasingly aggressive until the hollow shell has become swallowed by the darkness feared that under the affectionate guise was let in

held down; imprisoned
nothing absolutely nothing brings me more fear than those two words never __again__

it hurts no grand act of betrayal but the magnitude of minor slices to my heart found in the lacking of affection claims of love feel unbelievable when overshadowed by actions of doubt i fear to let go but fall into the pit of comparison the past has its claws deeply implanted into my flesh not deep enough to bring my end but only enough to regularly deface my heart torn tattered i forget what i want but crave that which is lost rational thoughts plagues my mind how i attempt to dismiss it when overwhelming me with the reminder that the sacred times will never return

minor misalignment
beating yet broken can't find my voice numbness leaks from her lacking presence filling me, eroding my core overflowing with inaction unable to breath drowning in teardrops and buried in mountains of memories

aftermath
dreamless shadows captivated by relentless attraction decay abominably, whilst melding into graceless frames forgiven by no moral being flee these careless spectres as abruptly as they had begun to timeless dust they return as tears dry and moments cry dire we'll collide with the sun and face the silhouettes we'll never become

Desired Unfullfilment
As I lay here alone Unable to sleep My comfortable bed Brings no peace to my mind I lay paralyzed Alone with my thoughts And as the hours flee Lay my mind and I Beside each other, imprisoned I am trapped There is nothing I can do But lay helplessly As I fight to escape these visions Who force themselves in And bring my mind no rest These tormented memories Hear not my sorrow and will not accept my forgiveness My fears remain restless And tear at my mind Until i can take no more And in my utter desperation They hear not my cries They accept nothing For the burdens of times passed I can not rid this curse Forever I lay uneasy Cowering in my own fear Crawling before the darkness Which once promised to lift me up I would pray for forgiveness But within this darkness there is no light How could I even consider that they would forgive me When I can't even forgive myself This helplessness It is eternal i beg of you please help me

Restless
My spirit is chained down A caged monster Unable to break free From the prison I built In blind attempts to flee Imprisoned by my coward'ness A slave to my fears In the darkest of nights The shadows hide my tears Victim to my own crimes Truths which I can't deny For as much as I push my demons away At the end, on them I rely Nights hold no compassion Lay I, Tortured by what is done Within the courtyard of my mind Countless laps I run My heart may once have been fire But those flames have surely perished In the ashes of those ill-spoken Rest true hearts Beside those who are broken Even in pure unforgiving silence Torment is never far from sight Eluding heartly conversations But in my arms at the end of the night Thoughts are slaughtered by lost memories My mind owns no rest Enslaved to my demons causing a vacancy in my chest

That What Has Not Escaped Is Imprisoned
