this time, i saw it coming, or so i say. this time, it didn't hurt, i wasn't sad, i was nothing. because this time, i was numb... whatever was left; an inkling, a trace of what there was, is gone. and this time, it didn't hurt because the nerves have been stripped, and i'm not sad because the well has run dry. this time, you've taken everything. and now - what i am and what i have left - is nothing.

a(nother) heart torn apart
I love you & I'm paranoid. Missing you; It's a disease. I'm scared... Of who I am? Of who you think I am? I love you, And I don't know... If it is e n o u g h

Enough?
It's always weird coming home To no one, Knowing I did this To myself. It hurts, Hurts. It makes me feel like It's time, It always feels likes It's time. I hate it but, It keeps me feeling, At least. Maybe it is time. Maybe it was a while ago.

Time
i promised i would stop but, you are the vice i cannot give up, the addiction i will always hold on to. the comforting crippling reminder of the fate that could have been but will not be. it feels like years since i've heard your voice, since i felt your skin against my skin. years since i had something worth letting my guard down for. the flowers were still in bloom and the warmth was plentiful. we were alive but, it is winter again even in the dead of August, even in the smoldering heat. it is winter again and i am cold without you.

if this were paper i'd burn it
I don't care if I die tonight, And never grow older. All my life, but as of tonight, I've never been colder. And I realized tonight, That my friends aren't my friends. Because it's Friday night, And I'm alone and I'm spent. Yeah I'm drunk, What's it ******* to ya? How else can I get through huh? Yeah I'm drunk, And I hope sober isn't next. Because I've never felt so alive, This close to death.

Hazard
sometimes my heart is a garden, sometimes it is a landfill. sometimes i think about love and warmth and good, and how i could do anything because i’m special and i’m talented. sometimes i think i could even go to church and god would smile and i would smile back. sometimes i think about thunderstorms and dark and alone, and how if i stayed in this bed all day every day i could just fade into nothing. sometimes i’m afraid to open the window because who knows if today’s the day i jump. sometimes my heart is a garden, sometimes it is a landfill. and i'm looking for that special kind of person who can find the treasure in both.

conditions of the heart
what have i done? it feels like suicide, like there are bullet holes in my mind; like i’m the one who pulled the trigger. i miss you. i could scream it *over and over* it feels like homicide, like there’s a noose around our love; like i’m the one who placed it there. what have i done to myself? what have i done to us, and why? you reckless ******* hypocrite. why would you **** the only thing keeping you alive?

hindsight
*i'll miss you till earthquakes stop shaking the ground. i'll miss you till rain clouds stop flooding the town. i'll miss you in silence and miss you in screams. i'll miss you as fire engulfs all our dreams. i'll miss laughing and crying and holding you close. i'll miss you when all that remains is my ghost. i'll miss you while lonesome, waiting outside your door. i'll miss you forever and forever more. i'll miss you my dearest, i'm sorry to go. i loathe my decision but it must be so.*

going
my eyes open, sullenly. not a movement from my body, but that of my left arm, reaching out for that awful device that forces me to comprehend a drab reality. tap to snooze waking up from a dream where every day isn’t the same monotony, and every class isn’t the same anesthesia, and every moment isn’t enveloped in the pain of missing you. tap to snooze i lay here hoping begging, even, that this burden of waking life will cease, and that one day i will cross over to the sleep realm and never again will i need to tap to snooze

tap to snooze
letting go of you would be like confining myself to a boat in order to taste the freedom of the ocean. and every day I'm without you would feel like swimming to the surface in a panic, gasping for air as your name fills my lung and drowns me.
