15/GF/erewhon Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.- Mark Twain
The pain they feel is worse for me than the pain of living with her because her i'm used to her I can handle but hurnting them making them worry about me is something I never want to do something I never want them to fear we're both so young they dont need this they should be able to have their biggest worry be about grades or friends no if I'm going to make it through the night they want to take all the pain away take me away from her and id let them in a heartbeat but I know reality i know they can't

The pain
Silence something that speaks louder than any words can because the silences of a victim can say so many more words than the screaming of the accused July 28, 1917, black lifes matter january 10 1917 to June 4, 1919 womens rights All these Silence protest that lead to change change in the way we see people change in the way we feel change in the way we hear silence

Silence speaks
Something old the scars on her once flawless skin done by the groom something new the plastic surgery on her nose because he had broken it so badly something borrowed the smile she always wore on her face That was never quite right anymore something blue the bruises on her body that covered her almost from head to toe

The "perfect" wedding
I look at you and wonder wonder why why you're like this why you resort to violence Why don't you look at me like you love me anymore why I have to beg for the little attention you give

toxicity
the funny thing about love is that no matter how much it hurts how much you lose people yearn for it for the want for the need of another and i to am a fool for the sick twisted thing that is love

love
I've always wondered wonder why people love knowing it's going to end in pain for at least one of the two whether in death due us part or the cheating of one Why would people choose to love knowing knowing nothing forever ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hear my friends say **** like "I wish I could go back to when I believed in true love." But I never did not truly If anything, I'm closer to knowing what "true love" is then ever before in my life But I guess that's what happens When, instead of bedtime stories It was gunshots and the sound of My dad beating my mom in the next room ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I fell in love with the first, and no, I don't mean dating for the first time, I mean really, truly feeling the feels or romantic love for the first time, and not having it be a lie or have him be a cheater or a beater, and god, it feels magical, mystical, even like I'm in heaven but insted of dating a angle im dating a god himself ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love is like a storm so wild and freeing, So my love, being with you is like running in a flowery field of warmth, love, and happiness And God does it feel lovely And like a drug, I keep coming back for more and more and more At this point in addicted to the sweet sugary nectar That is you

A Duet of Love
the sky full of oranges and yellows the colors of the sunrise Yet it was after noon The river full and clear like always Yet the burning sky can not go unnoticed So I yell and yell Yet no words come out I yell and yell and yell Yet I don't move at all standing on that bridge yelling for someone to notice the burning sky Yet people just continue to walk down the creaky bridge

I have no mouth and I must scream
******* hell, I'm not even sad anymore, and at this point it's just numb. I'm not angry, I'm not sad, I'm just trying to survive, but even that seems hard sometimes because they look at me like my pain is some show. Like my suffering is worth less than theirs. And all my friends say **** like "get over it," but how am I supposed to get over something like this, the first real thing I've had. I thought it was real, I thought they loved me, but then again, maybe the reason things keep ending like this is my fault because I know I'm a lot and a ***** and just too much. But I thought that maybe, maybe this time would be different, but I guess I'm just as stupid as I've always been.

I hate it here (vol. 2)
This is not one of those poems meant to bring emotions or to bring awareness, This is a declaration of the wars that go on in my head where no one else can see a mix of the good the bad the ugly the pretty of everything that I do not dare speak out about in fear of being judged hated crusified for the emotions in my own head and not even God, for he does not exsite can save me

in my head
You're flying too close to the sun they say But you need to fly past the sun to get to the stars And you, my love, are a star so bright and beautiful yet also so out of reach
