I don’t miss you. I really don’t. I miss the person the person I was with you. I miss the person you pushed me to be. I miss that you brought the best out of me. I miss the fear you subjected my demons to. Leaving me to be the best version of myself, for you.

I don’t miss you.
If you could read my mind, You’d see a thousand papers Filled with broken poetries And deadbeat proses Full of woeful verses With mournful pieces Of unfinished stories That are yet to be written And failed to be spoken; If you could read my mind, You’d hear horrible screams And earsplitting weeps From shattered dreams, Kept in a nasty notepad, Scribbled on a bed Of bloodstained words, Ringing in my head. If you could read my mind, You’d see the shadows That lurk within me; You’d hear the bellows, Screeching the words “I’m tired,” “I’m a failure,” “I’m stupid –” I know it sounds stupid, It’s pathetically foolish And seems like ******* If you could read my mind, You’d feel the tears I had ever failed to cry; You’d see the people That make the weak weaker; You’d see the monsters That consume my head; You’d hear the hollers That failed to be freed; You’d see the heart That still bleeds and bleeds. If you could read my mind, You’d see the face I’ve failed to show back then, The face I’ve faked back then. If you could read my mind, You’d see a character I had ever failed to become If you could read my mind, You’d be able to read A book you never wished To touch and read, But sometimes I still wish Someone could read my mind.

If You Could Read My Mind
i've given you my universe, yet the stars that illuminate in darkness, the planets that fill the emptiness, the sun that warms your soul, and the unknown beauty surrounding it, is not enough to complete your galaxy.

you attract me there’s this force unknown, strong and persisting pulling me closer and closer even with all my resisting i beg you to stop yield, let me go i can see this void between us the one i must fall into spiral downwards and crash change that which is my core my spirit, my character before i can be with you but what kind of love is it really if i must lose myself to find you.

.forced love
The best poems are all about loss and pain and suffering. It feels more natural to write a poem about a long lost memory, Or a love that never worked. Poets aren't allowed to be happy. They’d run out of material to write about. The words content and happy in the same sentence as the word I'm, feels like your tongue never sitting right in your mouth, like teeth getting in the way when making out like an itchy throat, not going away even after coughing a fit. The phrases You are and my boyfriend can't be a real sentence like how unicorns and fairytales don't exist. They just feel like two jigsaw pieces from different parts of the puzzle forced to sit beside each other. The word love just doesn’t resonate with the beat of my heart. Maybe because my heart stopped beating a long time ago and my brain had to carry the workload so I think twice as much as I should synonyms? I overthink. I may be the only poet who doesn’t want to be happy; a ********* clinging to heartbreak, and loss and pain and suffering. because it’s easier to let heartbreak wrap myself in its familiar arms than to experience an adventure with happiness wrapped in mine.

sad poet/s
i want you in every way there is to want a person from lazy rainy days sitting around in underwear wrapped up in the covers enveloped in each other to lustful late nights high happy and in love too absorbed with each other to focus on anything else i want you and i see so much in you that counting all your perfections would be like counting the stars there's too many to keep track of and they just seem endless i am utterly in love with every inch of your being every corner of your mind and everything in between i might not know what i believe or where i'm going or what i'm doing but i do hope you'll hold my hand and wander blindly with me because as long as i'm with you i don't need a destination you are the journey i am simply enamored with your entity captivated by your character fascinated infatuated amorous in love

you
I wanted to say you're worth a poem, but a poem requires thought. And I am no longer willing to let you consume my mind. You've created a monster, and a monster, I'm not willing to be. The image of another man loving your body the way I used to boils my blood, it drains me with rage. But you are not worth my misery I deserve better, and better I will receive.

Lesson learned
Being suicidal doesn't mean i'm going to **** myself Being suicidal is having this unexplicable ache while you're living It's waiting for your life to end, and wishing you didn't have to carry on Having this ache, an incapability to feel happy living, doesn't mean that I am going to **** myself - It just means I wouldn't mind dying.

Suicidal
User cannot be found. I suppose it's better that way. User cannot be found. So I wouldn't try to say "Hey" User cannot be found. A hole grows larger in my heart. User cannot be found. This is absolutely tearing me apart. User cannot be found. I'm sustained by the memories I keep. User cannot be found. And by the dreams that haunt me in my sleep. User cannot be found. I hope you're doing alright. User cannot be found. And that someone is appreciating you, holding you tight. HTTP 404 Not Found Error

confusion fills every inch within me accompanied with endless questions yet all unanswered i lay in what feels like a vacant room despite her body laying in the same bed furthermost from my touch the space between appears to be miles apart i lay restless as she lays in deep sleep the silence in the bedroom seems like an eternity placing my thoughts in a continuous loop of doubt replaying our previous conversation the tone in her voice echoed a wasted breath i'm left speechless every emotion has paralyzed my body i feel my heart pounding against my chest along with amplified sounds of tears colliding against the pillow i lay there in silence as the clock continuous to tick and the small beams of sunlight  begin to appear... The sun continues on its daily routine
