i see you in my dreams every night and i just wish you could be here with me right now because i need some light and you are the sun, so beautiful and so dangerous at the same time. you make me feel like im worth something even though everyone else rips each and every last shred of my hope into pieces too small to form back into its shiny constellation and im not sure how much longer i can hold on. i feel safe when we are together even though you rip apart my heart every time you mention her and i just wish you saw what was standing right in front of you because i am shrouded in a cloud of fog and i need you to guide me out with your blazing fire. when i watch you in my dreams i sometimes forget that you could combust right in front of my eyes and leave me as nothing but a pile of tears and charred bones.

light
i am composed of broken dreams and i think you made me this way but im not so sure anymore because every time i take a step the world spins in circles and i just dont know how to live anymore without you guiding me every step of the way so please come back and piece me back together before my strings break and i dont sound right anymore. its getting harder every second because im falling, im falling like my mothers broken pearls and soon i will hit the floor with a bang and lose control of where i go next. you need to understand that i need you more than anything and i don't want to become lost in my own mind because it is dark and lonely here.  i don't have faith in my lungs anymore, they are collapsing under the pain and dizziness, of the world spiralling farther and farther from my grasp. you were my lifeline and i guess my time is up.

i finally knew what pain felt like when you slapped me across the face in the middle of the night and my cheeks heated like fire because i just wasnt good enough i finally knew what regret felt like when i let you leave on the 4am train that night and couldnt get off of my couch for weeks because my heart had turned to lead and my bones shifted into stones i finally knew what hate felt like when i realized you had used me as your stomping grounds smashing the gardens between my bones into dust and broken dreams i finally knew i was over you when the caller ID read your name and i didnt pick up

you
my mom asks me every once and a while: are you happy with your life? and it just makes me laugh because i would rather die than live a second longer on this earth my body is a prison and im sentenced here forever and i would **** to be able to just sleep eternally because people are monsters i wish i could just tell her that im ripping at the seams and every time someone points out a flaw about me a knife is shoved deeper into my heart yet every time she asks i always reply with a laugh "why wouldn't i be?"

your touch was soft, like the gentle kiss of petals blowing in the spring

she had a normal childhood with a loving family and fun adventures everyone loved her for her pudgy red cheeks and huge green eyes she never lost those things even when she grew up but she started to notice that instead of gaining her love these traits were making her a target for all the hateful words of others to practice their aim on no one noticed the changes in the poor girl but they were there she stopped buckling her seatbelt she started to swallow her toothpaste she didn't look before crossing the street and they were so subtle, so small that by the time anyone noticed it was too late

snowflakes remind me of people the way some come down in soft, gentle drifts and some in harsh, thrashing blizzards some sit nicely on your sleeves and some fly straight into your hair it doesn't matter how the snowflakes drift to you, or how they stick to you each and every snowflake is different and unique it always takes more than one try to find that perfect snowflake so go outside, be brave your perfect snowflake is waiting for you somewhere out there

the words you whispered at two am every night when i couldnt breathe i was crying so hard when i couldnt speak through the sobs of hysteria when i shook from the sadness of it all you kept me alive in all those times of doubt and i just cant believe that you thought you could leave and i would be okay because ill never be okay you held me together even though i was bursting at the seams and then you broke me apart like the fragile soul that i truly am

broken
January 4th, 2013. Her heart beats steadily, like the thumping rhythm of a drum. It always comforts me, when she lays her chest against mine and the steady thump thump fills my mind. She has a super power, a way of telling when I'm distressed or angry or sad. She is my sun, in a world of rain. She's a special flower. July 18, 2013. I have seen subtle changes in my rose. She is not the radiant, ball of sunshine she used to be. Her eyes are sad, and her skin pale. I know she is keeping things from me, but I can not tell what they are. I won't force her to say anything, she will tell me when the time is right. September 27th, 2014. She sent me a letter. Something was wrong. I immediately rushed over to her home, worried sick about her. The letter was not like her. I didn't bother knocking, my anxiety overpowering any of my common sense. I burst into her door, and stopped dead in my tracks. She hung from the ceiling, dangling by a rope around her neck. She appeared as she could've been asleep, if not for the unnatural way her neck was bent. The rosy glow from her cheeks was gone, and all I saw was the way her eyes stared, eerily into the darkness. I don't remember anything else, but hearing the thump as my knees hit the floor, and the thump of my head. ?????? I do not know the date, the time, or even the year. I have not eaten in three days. My grief has swallowed me, making me feel like a tiny krill in the vast ocean. My mind constantly hounds me about her death. I should've known something was wrong. Why didn't I know something was wrong? With each thump thump of my heart, I sunk into a deeper and deeper depression. She deserves to be here. I don't. ?????? This is my last entry. I am so, so glad that I can finally escape this misery of a life. It sounds like music to my ears. The click of the gun. And the last thump thump of my empty heart.
