You kissed my scars..
Then mocked the blood.

You wanted a girl,
To replace the one you lost
Not grief
Not pain,
Not me.

You saw my soul,
and flinched..
I cried and begged for you,
Till I choked on my poison which was you,
And you said, “too much.”

I shattered and you said I was too loud,
I begged,
You lied,
I broke.
I love you,
The way Icarus loved the sun
To close,
Too much.

I wouldn’t mind if it killed  me,
For in my eyes,
There is no tragedy in burning for you.

Let the flames kiss my skin,
Let the light blind me whole.
If loving you means ruin,
Then ruin is the sweetest fate I know.

Just like Icarus,
I’d die for you,
I’d abandon all,
Just for you
Do you understand me,
When I say im tired,
Or do you think,
I just need rest?

Do you think,
Its because I haven't slept?

Do you understand me,
When I say
It takes all my strength,
To just stand up,

Or do you think,
That you dont know,
Whats going on,
In someone else's mind.

Or do you just assume,
You know,
What others feel.

You touched me,
and I remembered how stars bleed
before they die.
I like pizza,
No I love pizza,
More thank anything,
anyone.

I think about it obsessively,
Dreaming of it,
Praying for it,
Craving for it.

This isn't about pizza
My soul ached,
ached for something that wasn't there,
fragments of sanity,
or something left,
anything

but my hands just tore through air,
nothing—
nothing—
nothing to hold,
no real thing left to touch.
Was it real?

Time doesn’t tick anymore,
it just rots in the corners,
empty hours I can't fill
with anything that feels real.

faces I know,
but don't
eyes that stare and don’t care, (must they care?)
lips that move,
but nothing comes out.

The stars shine
but I don’t see it.
I stand there waiting
for something to make sense,
but nothing ever does,
nothing will.

I tried to die,
but I just ended up
standing here,
an echo of life
waiting to vanish.

— The End —
