happy birthday
to me
another year
to mess up everything
just turned
seventeen
know that i'm
still a baby
at least
technically
i'm feel older
than i seem
i've been hurt
i've seen things
happy birthday
to me
blow out the candles
and continue suffering
why does everyone
believe
that a day
could make me happy

Night all along was
A monologue of lights,
On prowling darkness!

Let’s talk about my intuition
Talk about a brain that swells
I saw it coming to fruition
Easily for you I fell

Suspicions were a friend to you
Made me your toy; I would not tell
My nightmares and my dreams came true
Sequestered in your prison cell

Do all the ***** things you do
You’re Heaven and my private Hell
Just say one thing when I come to
And no more hear the ringing bells

Those words, please tell me, “I love you”
With earnestness, to me you sell
I don’t care if it isn’t true
You are my fix and I’m not well

So “dose” me up; I need to sooth
And fill this lost and empty shell
Drunk on your love; You are my *****
The cost of this I do not dwell

A choice I made yet did not choose
You instantly had cast your spell
Too blind; I did not see the ruse
An easy ‘mark’, no need to sell

Tried for a stew but made a soup
The drifted parts will never gel
No question, for sure I’ve been duped
I clearly hear the banging knell

Forever stuck within this loop
A never-ending carousel
You took my soul with one fell swoop
I said ‘hello’, you said ‘farewell’

You were my first, and I thought the universe was planned for us. But, you made other ones, your attention was already reserved. And that controlled where we went from there."

But, no one can say we didn't have the stars aligned while it lasted.

I wish the best for you in all you do, and hope you find what's right as you reach the top again.

Good days, my old friend.

This is a letter for you...
