I have
been sober
for about
8 months.
Go me.

He'll tell you that he wants you,
he'll tell you anything,
He'll do whatever he wants to,
he thinks that he's the dream.

He'll objectify and hurt you,
in a way that makes you think
that you're something special finally,
as you grab another drink

He'll ask you for something,
that's not his to take.
And when you reply, No
Is when the beast awakes.

He'll point out your every flaw
He verbally murders your spirit
Till you're crying behind your door,
you think his words have merit.

He'll crush and crush and crush you
till you're reduced to barely anything.
Because you said no to him
He'll make you feel like you're worth nothing.
Guys are *******

where are the words i want to say?
just like you and i they're changing everyday
its hard to capture in a phrase
every time i try it seems to slip away

a pieced-together sentiment so unrefined
effortless distraction from what's left behind

through requiems and lullabies
first hello's and hard goodbyes
can I say "i love you"
any more than it implies?

if not then let the silence summarize
...
..
.
some things are better left unsaid
I kept chasing
you, as if
you were
a distant dream.
But dreams
are not always
dreams.
Sometimes, we have
nightmares too.
When did those dreams turned into nightmares? When did I stop believing in the magic of dreams?

I've always wanted someone to hold my hand
and tell me I'm pretty.

I've always wanted someone to go on unplanned
travels with to far off cities.

I've always wanted someone to look at me
and smile like in the books.

I've always wanted someone to comment and be
blown away by my looks.

I've always wanted someone to see from afar
And want to be mine.

All my dreams, though, have been marred
And the stars never align.
