I wonder how they can ask me how I am
With such little emotion in their eyes
Almost as if asking for the state of my being
Is simple courtesy
Nothing more, nothing less
I feel obligated to give them appropriate responses
Reciprocating the lack of emotion
And sincerity
It has become routine
For me to hide such barbaric emotions
I sometime walk with those I call friends
But a strange feeling arises
Where suddenly I really look
Between the group I’m in, and the strangers passing by
And my eyes widen
Because I see no difference
I drown in this
A sea of emotion and human personality
Watered down to its most dilute of senses
By our societal conditioning
Telling us to shove our emotions inside
Away from any grasping hands
I build these walls
Piece by piece by piece
Until I forget to do things which were previously common
Such as feel
And actually care about how you are doing
I let myself go
Carried by the current of this sea
Joining the many others around me already drenched in its expanse
I no longer wonder why they have such little emotion
Only ever replying
“I’m doing well, how are you?”
And even when it isn’t true
I wonder if anyone really cares

what we have in common will always be greater than what separates us.

I will love you no matter what
all the darkness inside
until the end of time
and even past that
through infinity and beyond
you are my soulmate
we will connect forever
even when we're not together
I might step away for a moment
but I will never let you go
you are my soul
my heart belongs to you
always has always will
I will love you still
some may say I'm stupid
I say I hold onto
the love between us
they don't know
how our love is
I will wait for eternity
if I have to
just to be with you
to hold you
to dance with you
through the universe
we will spin around
and around
until we're heaven bound

the more you talk
the more questions they ask
the less they understand
they don't listen
to comprehend.

I add gas to my own fire
don't need anyone to do it for me

for a moment I remember everything
everything I love everything I hate
all the pain all the blame
the brief moments of joy
long suffering moments of grief
being terribly tormented in love
and it never being enough.

my heart its pounding
I struggle to breathe
my chest it tightens
as my heart beats
I'm gasping for air
as if no one cares
my head gets lighter
tears strolling down my face
hands began to sweat and shake
I can no longer take a breath
no words can come out
eyes wide open
please make it go away
control yourself
I can no longer stay
don't breathe to fast
it might be your last
please try to swallow
your own pain away
push it down your throat
into your chest
do your best
let it settle in your heart
it wont rip you apart
lock it away forever
**** wont get better
don't fight it invite it
you live in grief
you can no longer breathe

my reality is mine to own
and only mine to own
it is not yours
to grab a hold of
you have your own
mine is not for you
to comprehend
yours is not for me
you see , I see
we see differently

sitting here with the
phone in my hand
trying not to text you
its killing me inside
wanting to text you
don't know what
to say anymore
wanting to be next to you
but your not coming
to my door
the urge to cry
knot in my throat
no more tears left
in my eyes,
eyes are left to cry dry
my heart it starts to pound
before it stops and starts again
only to take my breath away
and I must say,
you still my breath away
a million times a day.

your not going to set my heart
to tear it apart again
I'm not going to fall
into the same cycle again
with you again
I feel the sadness
creeping in again
