Maybe you found someone new...
And this is probably my cue...
So I sat in in my room...
The door locked, i’m ready to shoot...
To leave and let go...
Cause You make feel so old...
And make me feel like a fool...
Because it’s been so long...
Where I haven’t really meant my “l love
you”s...
And how stupid of me...
How I felt so blue...
Falling in love with the broken pieces of the memories with you...
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do...
With all these feelings I feel for you...
So I guess it’s my cue...
To leave and let go of all my things I felt for you....
And knowing the sky...
is under the lovers unite...
the stars came down...
Whispering on how our fates were perfectly aligned...
and at a hundred and two...
I sat, staring up...

And for a moment I felt like I really loved you...

There’s this person that watches me at night.
Spray painting the walls in the moonlight.
I don’t know his name, but he just sits.
And he watches.
I hide my face with a respirator and hood.
Hoping I don’t get caught.
I love the smell of the paint, I wonder if that’s why he watches me.
He enjoys what I enjoy.
Hopefully, one day.
We’ll cross paths again,
Fully intact.
And enjoy these nights.
Where we felt so Abstract.
Just a little story I decided to write.

My finger tapping the surface.
My mind hurt, completely blue.
Waiting for a simple reply,
Maybe even an “I love you.”
i just wanna feel your touch,
Holding my hand.
Maybe even with a little Luck,
I’d bet a dollar, just a single buck!
That you would be the lighter to my cigarette,
The guilt to my Regret...
The person who created my suspicions...
My one and only Addiction.

don’t be afraid to fall in love

especially when the One your with is fading away

but the one you’ve known only for a day

is there for you when you needed Them most

because it doesn’t take love to know someone inside and out

it takes two souls that were bonded at the start

love ignites at the sight of life

You took me in at the start .
You gained my trust, you never fell apart.
Little did I know, you weren’t what you said.
For I looked in your eyes and never saw the dread.
We laughed and we cried,
You faked smiles and you lied.

I never saw what you painted on my back.
The big red target, the center covered in black.
When you let down your arm, it hurt like hell.
The knife, the blade, piercing deep.
I never wanted to trust again, all because you were the one friend I wanted to keep.
This is just a thing... I’ve currently gone through a betrayal, so it helps to write.

Whether you refer yourself as the Spiral Galaxy Messier 31,
Or the Greek Mythology daughter of an Aethiopian King,
I can be the Stars to your Galaxy.
I can be the Perseus that saves you from Death.
I can be your best friend.
But I understand that Trust comes a long way,
Just lemme know when you trust me enough,
And maybe we can create something the world has never seen before.

It feels like darkness surrounding me.
It feels like monsters are everywhere.
It feels like I can’t do anything to stop it.
It feels like I’m saying too much.
It feels like I’m not allowed to be here.
It feels like I can’t stop repeating myself.
If feels like I’m Broken.
I suffer from Severe Anxiety, so honestly, not everyone will get this.

sometimes i wonder.

did it hurt when you left?
did it hurt when you said all of those things?
did you really mean it?

sometimes i wonder...

the late nights that i have pushed through trying to understand,
how was it so easy for you?
you moved on without a problem, a year and five months gone...

why is it i still miss you when you don't even seem to notice me.
i'm invisible, a ghost, another blurred face in your peripheral vision.

but like you once said,
the seasons will continue to change, the sun will still set, the world will still turn...

how was it so easy for you when anytime i saw you, my stomach would churn?
how was it so non-chalant when i couldn't even stop myself from crying when you walked by?

a year and five months, gone.

sometimes i still listen to our song.
a forgotten memory in the back of your memory, i'm sure...

time has passed and now we're just a blur.

Benjamin...
god that name...
runs through my head all day until I fall asleep and I get to see you in my dreams...
floating through the cosmos...
I don’t know...
just the way we’re alone...
nothing between us....
stardust on your fingertips...
intertwining your fingers...
so close to me...
feels so real...
the way your heartbeat sounds in the dead of space...
the way your warm breath hits my neck...
in the chilling cold of the cosmos...
just... the way you’re there...
feels so real...
we’re so close...
I wake up and...
there it is again... that name...
Benjamin...
I helped chose Atlas as your middle name because an Atlas is a type of map...
and I knew if I ever got lost...
you’d help me find my way....
pull me out of the deep space and back into the galaxy...
vibrant and bright...
you made my black and white perspective bring color in my life...
so amazing... that it makes me... contemplate...
thank you.

It’s better to break your own heart by leaving, rather than having that person break your heart every day you’re with them.

Break me softly...
A phrase I often say to myself.

And my wish is never answered.

For I cannot hold on much longer.

You knew what you were doing.
You knew exactly what you said.
You knew every action you made.
You knew exactly what I would become.

Your words cut like obsidian daggers.
You knew exactly what you did.
You lied to everyone.
All because you’re a selfish criminal.

Dear Self,
You aren’t too kind to yourself,
You always feel like a hologram of skin and bones, a wasted soul.
Your mind runs ninety-nine miles per hour, yet you’re seated in place.
You’re locked in place, fighting off that weather of weapons, all on your own.
You smoke those cancer sticks, and BAM!
All your stress seems to flow away, like a rushing river across the land.
You stay up all night, you insomniac, you night owl, you can’t even bring yourself to get up in the mornings to slave away under those fat cats on top of society.
I hope one day, you can find the courage to go back to being a motor mouth.
I hope one day, you’ll go back to being that talented show stopper.
I hope that one day.
You’ll stop being such a dust kicker and get back on your feet.
Just know that every chapter comes to an end, but at least we’ve anticipated this one against all the other endings we have yet to face

My God.
This feeling is taking over.
Clawing at my very existence,
Spilling my insides onto the floor.
The stars have left my eyes,
My hygiene has wilted.
Instead of seeing the blue cover skies,
I only see the cement under my feet.
My shadows dance in the sunlight,
Laughing and mocking me.
Slowly knocking me down,
I’m tired all the time.
I’m sick of this feeling.
Sick of the demons inside of me.
They’re never ending party goers,
Constantly going and going until I fall.
I reach for help, some type of hope,
I find myself slipping away.
I’m so sick of these demons inside of me.
The drugs don’t help,
My smile fades when you look away.
I’m ripping myself apart,
And I’m sick of these demons.
Because they’re the ones making it happen.

You're 1,700 miles away from me.

You expect me to stay when you don't even try.

I always feel like I'm on the verge of going under, like the waves in the sea.

Your love is intoxicating, addicting... you're a drug.

You're the nicotine in my cigarettes, the blood that keeps my heart pumping.

I'm unsure how to proceed, I'm scared even...

I wish we could just go back to the way it used to be.

The stereotypical thoughts are,
I slit my wrists,
I drink bleach,
I wear black 24/7,
And I’m depressed, Suicidal or Both.

The true thoughts are,
I feel things deeply,
I’m real, I don’t sugarcoat.
And I wear black because it’s Poetic.

It’s honestly my true aesthetic,
My one and only place I feel alive.
So for all of you that are Scene Kids and Emo Kids?

Every Night, I lay in bed.
Bad thoughts plaguing my head.
Tearing up, enough has been said.

I try to write everything down,
Only ending up with my usual frown.
I’m the ruler of sadness, slouching over with my crown.

But every night, I lay in bed.
Bad thoughts ******* with my head.
Crying myself to sleep, enough said.
The word “bed” looks like a miniature bed....

I stare and I cannot look away.
My eyes locked and in one place.
Her eyes are of the sky.

They are guilty of sorrow and shame,
But are beautiful all the same.
Untouched by man, they are pristine and born as they came.

She may seem quiet, but her eyes explain it all.
It seems that she’s been broken, more than she can recall.

Stardust stings her eyes, making it impossible to believe.
The girl you fell in love with is not what she seems.

Heart is broken, nothing but an Atrocity,
It all seems like a silly little Fantasy.
But trust me, not a single person would miss out...
On a girl with eyes like a Galaxy.
Please send this to that person that’s special to you and let them know how beautiful their eyes are. (Especially if they hate their eye color) please do enjoy ~ NobodyInSociety

My head is haunting me and my heart feels like a ghost
I need to feel something, 'cause I'm still so far from home
Cross your heart and hope to die
Promise me you'll never leave my side
Show me what I can't see when the spark in your eyes is gone
You've got me on my knees I'm your one man cult
Cross my heart and hope to die
Promise you I'll never leave your side
'Cause I'm telling you you're all I need
I promise you you're all I see
'Cause I'm telling you you're all I need
I'll never leave
So you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you 'cause I'm under your spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you, I will follow you
Come sink into me and let me breathe you in
I'll be your gravity, you be my oxygen
So dig two graves 'cause when you die
I swear I'll be leaving by your side
So you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you 'cause I'm under you spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you so you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you 'cause I'm under you spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you, I will follow you
So you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you 'cause I'm under you spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you, I will follow you

it was raining.

the world was mine to take, so I stepped outside and danced around.

I took off my coat and began to let myself soak up the water from the sky,

Let this illusion disintegrate, for no one could ruin this, not even with goodbye.

My tears blended with the water droplets as they hit my face,

The world was truly within my fates.
for someone who has changed my life in such a short amount of time.

Why do you leave,
When I lose everything?
Why do you get all the attention,
When I do all the work?
Why do I receive no credit,
When all you do is lie?
Why do you spread rumors,
When I was the one happy and alive?
Are you jealous of me?
What did I do wrong?
I’m trying my hardest to be loyal.
I’m doing my best to keep you.
See, my biggest flaw...
Became your secret weapon.

All I wanted was a friend.
And i’d do anything to keep you.
Even if it meant ruining myself.


You’re my friend.
And I’m supposed to put you first.

Staring at each other, awkward and confused.
Our eyes shifting, not knowing what to do.
We get close and then back away,
Feeling alone, but obviously astray.
Our hands intertwined, not caring about mankind.
We close our eyes and our Galaxies Collide.
The action quick, the feeling never ending.

Once Again, staring at each other, not awkward nor confused.
Our eyes locked, knowing exactly what to do.
Our hands intertwine, not caring about mankind.
Not feeling alone, nor astray.
And once again, we close our eyes and allow our Galaxies To Collide.

let me take some weight, let me lift it to the sky.

for you are a simple boy,

trapped in a complex world,

my only wish is to see you restored.

the autumn leaves fall,

the winter wind stings,

much like your pain and sorrow.

i wish that you could take a piece of my soul, only for awhile, just to borrow.

you are a thousand stars up in the sky,

your emotions have you tied.

and much like the tears that soak through my phone,

I came home to a horrific sight.
Blood everywhere, my screams filled the night.
A note beside the body, it was a suicide,
My stomach drops, his eyes opened wide.

I Should’ve saw this coming, I knew his smile was a Lie.
I always heard his fake laughs, but I kept letting them slide.
The guilt washes over me, it’s all my fault...
i should’ve known that he was having trouble, that it was difficult.

But now... he’s dead.
And all we can do is feel the dread.
We can take on the sorrow,
There’s always a better tomorrow.
It’s going to be Grim,

But we must stand strong for Him.
But sadly... His casket will soon be sealed.

And i’m in the back.
Not a single tear,
My mind has been obscured.
I’m not crazy at all, I don’t need a cure.
But what I do know, is that time won’t Heal.

I’m broken now.
I don’t know what to feel.
If you ever need help, please talk to a professional or call the Suicide Hotline:

To stay away from the drugs,
The alcohol, the cigarettes.

But when you force a teen to make adult decisions that have childish effects...

I find myself dealing with the drugs,

The monster controls my body,
The alcohol rushes through my veins.

And I can’t help myself.

Because I’m not scared.

I remember years ago,
Someone told me I should take Caution when it comes to love.
I did, I did And you were strong and I was not My illusion.
My mistake?
I was careless, I forgot, I did And now when all is done,
There is nothing to say.
You have gone and so effortlessly, You have won.
You can go ahead.
Tell them.
Tell them all I know.
Now Shout it from the roof top,
Write it on the sky, Love.
All we had is gone now.
Tell them I was happy.
And my heart is broken.
All my scars are open,
Tell them what I hoped would be Impossible, Impossible, Impossible, Impossible.
Falling out of love is hard,
Falling for betrayal is worse,
Broken trust and broken hearts I know,
I know...
Thinking all you need is there.
Building faith on love is the worst.
Empty promises will wear I know
(i know)
And know when all is gone,
There is nothing to say.
And if you're done with embarrassing me, On your own you can go ahead.
Tell them.
Tell them all I know now.
Shout it from the roof top,
Write it on the sky.
