22/F I'm not a poet, that's all I know.
my colours have become muddy, confused and foul but now it is our song that winds will howl creation of yet another distance between you and i on my journey drowning as you stay high little by little, lost the sparkle that you devour, and hopes became frail like a sick little flower hollow, even meaning has lost its meaning with me i carry sweets such as love-lies-bleeding from earth not a sight, not a soul, not a beam can reach to the depth of my misty dream now embraced by the waves and foam, i sink petals escape my fingertips, bleeding and pink you, dearest colour-eating, joy-sucking vampire forsaken, yet my yearning for you is always dire even once sweet promises became bitter poison sunken, my eyelids and heart grew heavy as iron lilies stay afloat and your light can't reach to me tongue-tied, lips-shut, no more letting a single plea my tears now accompanied by freshwater pearls from my chest to the surface one last daisy swirls

i, ophélie
pain fills me up from my stomach to my skull souffrance come une smoke thick and bleak and black or like food, not nutritious yet quite poison-like une illusion, ou pas? pain fills me up untill i choke and burst throat shut, eyes burning something that's not welcome tu es disparu mais pas de moi en restant comme une partie d'âme unable to chase, unwilling to leave pain fills me up ressemblant à le lierre ou le squelette de moi-même this time solid and trapping a cage borne into my flesh neither locks nor keys maybe a welcome addiction love, now c'est une illusion une image que j'ai fait de toi maybe just out of nostalgia you had all the time to come i had all the time to heal yet the pain fills me up from the cracks you left

a welcome addiction
brain is a strange little place a real mess of barbed wires and dead ends a set of connections my mind threads they all have a tint of you something that i cannot erase the weight of memories that i have to carry myself alone within my being like chains sewn they all have a taint of you as you forget and enjoy the ease contaminated and consumed by you but do you ever remember me, too?

contaminated by you
Has my skull ever really been a home to you? Or was it too cold, too surreal? You weren't complete, neither were my masterpieces. I couldn't kidnap enough of you. It was more of a cage than a home, an utopia for me nevertheless, mine alone. Hours upon hours I've spended on you. An addiction, art, or my fall?

to all my co-stars
We all have favorites there is no use in denying that. It is simple. Yet I can't put my finger on why or how you've grown to be mine favorite...obsession? Why do you visit me so often in the dreams I'm afraid to dream? You don't do that in real life. No problem, you don't have to this is the way it should be. There is nothing I want from you. But I want to wipe that idiotic smile out of my face when our eyes meet. It is not simple.

simplicity of not so simple things
sweetest dream, masterpiece of mine that I live to perfect, to sculpt, to polish. sweetest dream, masterpiece of mine that would make Calliope cry, we aren't her fault, are we? sweetest dream, masterpiece of mine that is a heretical creation, a compilation of lies. sweetest drug, ******* of mine that lulls me into life, we snuggle with my defeat.

musing
isn't it so painfully obvious that's an illusion which your wicked mind presents you in a dish of fake hopes, on a bed of lies, garnished with lost time and impossibilities and you, the misery-loving ****** devour it everytime with your endless appetite as you did countless times before and you doubtlessly will do a countless times again and again and again yet every single time, it will be you, the misery-loving ****** whose eyes are full of tears that are induced by an agonizing, unforgiving yet familiar ache placed in your stomache as all you've eaten was the emptiness of cold, acrid reality?

primary question
It's me who should know better It's me who should make the sacrifice It's me who should be strong when others won't. for what? When did I get so used to burn every inch of myself out for acception and love that no one grants me? for what? It's me who knows better It's me who makes the sacrifice It's me who is strong as it's the only choice for what? When did it get so hard not to wear everything on my sleeve as opposed to hide them so I won't be noticed? for what? It's me who is the fool It's me who is the attention-seeker It's me who is the weakling still painfully invisible. no reason, no consequence no beginning, no end after all, I'm the girl who can't hurt herself who can't heal herself who can neither exist nor perish. It's me who is the utmost liar no savior, no captor no one, no one, no one.

Purgatorial Self
You know you have no place among them. They fit and form a breathtaking picture like pieces of a puzzle. Your edges are odd as they've always been. But you aren’t a part of that picture you can’t be a part of that picture. Your edges are odd, you don’t fit. There are so many people there are so many pictures. Your edges are odd and that's not required. They don’t need or want your presence maybe they aren't even aware of it. Your edges are odd, it's not a blessing. Too abstract, too fluid the textbook definition of "nuisance". You know you have no place among them.
