I don’t think you realize… how much of you is already enough. You spend so much time trying to fix yourself, to smooth out every rough edge, like love only comes to those who are perfect. But the truth is— it’s the cracks that let me in. I don’t love you in spite of your flaws. I love you because of them. Because they’re proof that you’re human. Proof that you’ve lived, that you’ve hurt, that you’ve kept going. And when you feel like you’re too much, or not enough— I just want you to know… you don’t have to be anything other than what you are, right now, in this moment. That’s already everything to me.

Everything
The night sky looms upon me My vision intense Through the stars Beyond the moon Into the black oblivion And alone I stand The thought of you As part of the future me a vision of happiness An idiot’s illusion Dreams and hopes My ultimate desire Nothing but delusions of a desperate soul to black starless sky I lock my gaze eternal emotionless haze the hurt free bliss sliding into the abyss

my mental contradiction
Fake smiles and painful laughs. Living at the bottom of every glass. A Tasty sweet sanctuary, Sipping away my misery. ***** *** or Gin The sentimental seduction of choice. Stop trying now, my time to give in! However, time always move on. Thoughts of you, once again, pulsating through my mind Stop! Control this! I need another bottle. Drunken Distortion, Surreal serendipity. It’s good to be home, Alone but never lonely. Undiluted, Liquid absolution, I found my foundation. And time keeps moving on. Once again, my mind is clear, Epiphany. Straight lines down a drawn path. You. A fragment from my history, You can keep my heart. I don’t need it anyway. A glass once broken cannot be refilled. This time. My time, it’s coming to an end. I have gazed upon my fate Awakened. There is nothing now except the wait. One more sip... and then another. That’s it, Im back to feeling great. Slowly slipping into the obscurity where it all began My mortal paradise. The final freedom.

Drowned emotion
Only love is, An open invitation, for disillusionment and pain!

Meaning of love
The morning sunrise, A bright new day. My existence, once again real. As I rise to my feet; grasping for energy. No time to weep. The shadows of night, Still weighs upon me. My patterns of thought, Erratic and free. I try to move on, And even harder to forget. The emptiness of slumber, Now overflowing with reality. The quiet bliss of inexistence, Is once again behind me. The harmony of night, fades away with the dwindling moonlight. In the depths of my mind, the painful reminders prevail. While my eyes remain ever dry, Emotionless, I shake and quiver. As my tears of sorrow Slowly stream down from within. A feeling of anguish, Engulfing a broken heart. A single moment of weakness, Too scared to hold on. Too painful to let go. My wish to vanish in darkness, A realm to dwell in impassively. Through darkness, As in light. My shadowed thoughts Of a life once loved, They follow me. Never to be forgotten! Never to be re lived!
