education

a classroom full of screaming children.
a banging headache.
i just want to learn.

It's late

You had sunshine
In your eyes
but
I was looking
For the moon

sorry.

I couldn't help you tonight,
so I'll write my apologies here,
mixing my blood with water until the ink runs clear.

I couldn't help you tonight, because my feelings were already here,
written down on the page for people to cry too, tear for tear.

I couldn't help you tonight because my heart had shrivelled away,
addicted to a form of art that ****** all love away.

I couldn't help you tonight,
so i'll write my apologies here,
mixing my blood with water until the ink runs clear.

written for a friend who will never read this.

wonderings of a madman

do you ever wonder
what it would be like
to
soar amongst the birds in the endless blue?
i do.

guilt

i never did apologise for not having the chance the chance to saying goodbye to grandma.
sorry.
i never did apologise for never returning that pencil that i 'borrowed' from the teacher.
sorry.
i never did apologise for being a terrible friend.
sorry.
i never did apologise for being the reason you're trapped in a failing marriage.
sorry.
i never did apologise for being born and ruining your plans.
sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
i am more sorry each day.
sorry for wasting your time.

sorry.

self destructive

i want you
to
break me
with your words
with your tongue
i want you to give me all of your pain;
share it with an old, broken soul.

'want' is such a shallow word
rings of childishness and greed.

i need you to **** me
slowly, gently
let them know
it's you, as i plead
look at me here, sobbing
i need you
to give me
relief.

inspired, but all mine.

meeting you
is like reliving a memory

and loving you
is forgetting the worst ones
