I must stop living within the feeling of this lie
That's why I'm here, to finally say Goodbye.

The lie: I am still in love with you
Deep down I know... that simply isn't true

Yes, I think about you every single day...
But you only exist in my mind, that's where you live, it's where you stay

Even further, it really isn't "you" that lives within me
A truth sometimes I force myself not to see

For you see, it can't be you that my emotions adore,
It has been over two years... I don't know "you" anymore
Although the you is so real in my head,
I understand the you I loved is long gone ... dead.

Therefore I can't love you Lindsey
Because "you" only exist in my head, as a memory
To be honest, I think I'm subconsciously afraid...
Giving you up means to become un-made

You are but just a memory
A memory that does not define me
Accepting this is the only way I can be free
Conscious Oct 2018
It was a hot & sunny day in Arizona. Happily floating down a calm river, in between beautiful canyons & deep trenches, was Alex, Lindsey and her whole family. They had floats on their backs with water proof backpacks filled with camping gear, laughing, smiling and enjoying the ride down the natural blue waters, sliding through beautiful vibrant orange 100ft + Arizonian canyons surrounding them. It was coming to an end as their stop was approaching, Lindsey & Alex were trailing last behind Donny, Mrs. & Mr. Schuster, Lauren & even Tom. They approached a small crack in the orange wall, large enough for a few people to fit, where a meander of sand had formed from the cut banks of the river. At this meander, there was a wooden door on the wall. The rest of the family had already passed through the wooden door at this small island into an open green field. As Lindsey and Alex slowly washed up on the small orange shore, she dried herself off, and began to slowly open the door. Feeling oddly content, Alex came to a realization & stopped her with a question: “Lindsey?”… he asked as she slowly turned around and smiled at him. He sighed and calmly asked with a soft, almost defeated, tone of voice, “ … Is this a dream?” She then looked at him, subtly lost her smile, and began to open the door again. Alex slightly nodded his head up and down with understanding. He felt a great sadness but at the same time, a great acceptance of the situation. He got her attention one last time before she left and whispered "ok... I love you." She looked at him with a look of connection and grounded compassion and said "I love you too... goodbye Alex." "Goodbye Lindsey" Alex replied with a tone of finality in his voice. He held back his tears to watch her pass through the wooden door & happily jog through the grass field towards her friends & family & into the loving arms of Tom. He watched them walk away into the sun lit world that embodied the happy feelings he once felt. Once the wooden door shut on him, the temperature dropped & the river started to fill up the cave & wash away the meander. A devastating wave of tears and utmost despair overcame him, pulling his state of mind deep into an intense vortex of darkness within his own mind, destroying every sense of self, forcing his mind, body and soul to become one with infinite sadness.

How Did I Break Your Heart?
Conscious Aug 2018
How did I break your heart?
Did I pull your strings so hard that you fell apart?
Or was it I who showed you how to sew them from the start?
Did I break you so hard that you fell to pieces?
I folded you so much you have permanent creases?
Or was it I who helped you write your life thesis?
Spending countless hours showing you “what this is.”
Tell me, how did I break your heart?
Did I reject you, outcast you, ignore you, forget you?
Or was I the only one trying to unmask you, teach you, push you so you could see you?...

Did I stop loving you?
No, you stopped loving me.

So please, tell me, now that you are happy, free, without me...
How did I break your heart Lindsey.

Truly gone
Conscious Jun 2018
It’s been two years since you asked me tostop loving you,
something I’m desperately still trying to learn how to do.

Yes, I’ve learned how to love someone new,
But still, there’s apparently no “getting over” you.

I’m trying to do what you did and “move on”
But it’s been very hard for me, it’s taking so long...

I wish I could convince myself that still loving you is wrong.
I  just need to remember, that you are truly gone.

Waiting for death to come.
Conscious Jun 2018
Two days before:

I leave to meet my biological sisters
In a different country
For the first time
I find out you are getting married.

For the last two years:

I have struggled
Attempting to learn how to live,
Instead of just survive
Without you.

Too often:

I feel as though I am just existing
Surviving...
Until the day I die.

Today:

I left the country
Now I am back.
Back to just existing
Waiting...
For death.

The Beginning
Conscious Apr 2018
I remember when we first started developing patterns of awareness.
This phenomenon initiated our ever-evolving drive to expand and increase our different states of utility.
We would constantly experiment with different patterns of existence, just to see what would happen.
Now here we are, with a pretty decent quality of consciousness,
Still doing our best to evolve into pure love.

The Well
Conscious Mar 2018
When I float,
I sink,
I dissolve,
Into the forgotten water,
Where you send your love
That lifts me out of,
The well of endless darkness

Flashbacks of love- PTSD
Conscious Feb 2018
I live in fear, traumatized by the breathtaking love and beautiful memories we once shared together. How many more years will I be haunted by these flashbacks?

His Name is Sadness
Conscious Dec 2017
Deep in me, lies dark sadness, and he is begging to come out.
He shows himself through humor, poetry, or even the occasional pout.
He stays hidden from the world so that you don’t know what he is about.
But over time he's been growing, getting heavier… and the weight is reaching an unbearable amount.
Unfortunately, I want to **** him... but he is important to me… so this is a fact I must take into account.

What am I?
Conscious Dec 2017
I can create but also destroy,
They call me fate, but I'm sometimes used like a toy.

I am given, but I can not be taken
I undergo fission, and I'm constantly forsaken.

I am simple, but very complex
I tend to *******, when I'm abused for ***.

I have many forms, but only one name
And I can transform, so you're never the same.

I am worshiped, but not a "God"
I'm misunderstood, I find that odd.

Yes I can manipulate, but it's not my intention
I often try to liberate, you don't pay attention.

Although I am young, I am centuries old...
Too often stretched... and strung... truth be told.

I am purest beyond the ego, way high above
I prefer to be incognito, I am simply _

- She Is Everywhere -
Conscious Dec 2017
She's in my head,
She's in my heart.
Her love's been dead,
When does mine start?

I traveled here,
I traveled there,
My greatest fear...
She's everywhere.

I go to sleep,
You're in my dreams.
There we meet,
Or so it seems.

You're with him,
But still with me,
So I will swim,
Until I'm free.
Conscious Nov 2017
I mourn for you,  
But you're still alive.
You've been born again undead,
But not revived.

I struggle day to day,
Watching over 2 years of decay,
the death of my once fiance.

Here on Earth
Conscious Nov 2017
I've been stuck here on Earth suffering, struggling with your death while you are traveling the after world with God who has convinced you he loves you more than I did.
Conscious Nov 2017
I like to see you, for who you are
The paths you have traveled, you've gotten so far
But its time now, for others to see
Your caged mind, must be set free
Step by step, come out of your shell
Free your mind, from your body's hell

I Wish You Knew

Sometimes I cry,
because I just wish you knew.

My Rotting Heart
Conscious Jun 2017
My love for you is past its expiration date.
It converted into an acidic toxic poison that aggressively pumps throughout my entire body
via tightly restricted frost coated veins
by my molding, rotting heart
only when triggered by the thoughts and memories of you ...
and "us."
Jun 2017 · 311
Collection of Memories
Conscious Jun 2017
Just another bad memory to add to my collection.
Another poison to my soul, adding white to my complextion that is only shown by my reflection.

Lindsey- The Disease
Conscious May 2017
Your name evolved into my disease
Imagine a constant desire but inability to sneeze
It attacks my thoughts, my mood, my energy and my emotions
Congratulations, you've become the one fish I wish I never found in the ocean.
Conscious Mar 2017
I'm not supposed to love you anymore
So I push tears back down into my eyes
and watch them slide down my throat.
Slowly falling into the bottomless hole
Where my heart used to be.
Empty heart

-Hugging a Corpse-
Conscious Mar 2017
Standing in line
I wait for her turn to hug me
My body stands but my soul falls
Arms extending to whatever it is I am
I feel a shell, cold, like a distant memory
Her hug was more dead than my grandmother lying in the casket

Love graduate.
Conscious Feb 2017
There is nothing more love can teach me.
So how can I skip class discreetly?...
She'll say that I think love is beneath me,
But if only it was that easy.
Unfortunately, because it's just something I see,
I will not receive a grade of empathy.
Love is becoming too pushy for me
And it's holding my consciousness in captivity.
When in my heart, I know it should be free.

The Indian Prince
Conscious Feb 2017
It must be nice to sit on that thrown.
Looking down, striking innocent civilians like a missile happy drone.

Armed with hurtful statements, blindly firing accusations, based on evidence that you claim to be common sense, seemingly Heaven sent.

Reliance on misconceptions derived from your own blind biased cognizance is pure bliss.... ignorance.

It must be nice to not miss, all that you have missed in life, such as avoiding relationships, mistakes and hardships that life forces you to take, regardless of whether or not you have the confidence in yourself to know you can actually make ... it.

**** ... it must be nice to finally sit up off of that throne and fly so ******* high like the most expensive drone your precious money can buy, to look down at everyone with a big *** frown that you have won from spending the last 22 years of your life having "fun" pretending to understand the meaning of strife by watching computer screens and playing games with virtual reality teams.

"**** boys and ***** girls"... coming from a mouth that hasn't yet lived in the real world. No wonder you make everyone secretly hurl.
You're wrong, they are just people so stop looking at life through a ******* self righteous peep hole.

It must be nice to shoot accusations with minimal to no contemplation, while avoiding any due diligence by never seeking out deeper intuitive evidence that could contribute to smarter conceptualization before sentencing your victims to passive damnation.

You! are what is wrong with this **** nation. Lack of perspective is what plagues the evolution of our creation.

It is time that this was mentioned.
The ability to empathize has been under deconstruction and detention of the proper correction is the root cause for all of this ******* tension.

Lack of perspective, my friends, will be our greatest downfall.
So please, I implore you all, not to be like the Indian prince who merely thinks he knows how to judge other people's innocence.

Chapter 25 - A glass jar
Conscious Jan 2017
My heart beats for you still
I'm afraid it always will
It drifts somewhere on the sea
Somewhere far away, even from me
I guess I will always love you, even from afar
Because my heart beats for you, somewhere, floating... In a glass jar.

I was there for you...
Conscious Dec 2016
I was there for you when you were a mess,

I held your hand and pushed you up while you were sinking in quick sand and failing the test that your body was giving you while your mind was under house arrest.

I was there for you, when your father tried to commit suicide... both times, side by side we lied waiting for the cries and tears to stop, drop and roll from the ignited fire exploding in your eyes because once again, victimized! Both you and your family, from your fathers lies about not visiting the ******* inside of some other woman's thighs... again.

I was there for you when your dog died, when you thought that pain would never subside.

I was there for you, even when you didn't want me to, when you thought the path I suggested for you was impossible to pursue even though I always ******* knew you could do it too, I just wanted our love to be true but you... you couldn't see what I knew.

When I got depressed, where the **** were you?

It's funny, after all these years, I was only there for you, and I was never there for me, and now I'm the last person you ever want to see.
Conscious Nov 2016
So as you know,  I gave her my heart, as all generic stories go.
But Where does an unwanted heart go though?
does anyone know?
We can't sell it... so do you just break it? throw it? leave it? Dismiss it?
She took hers back from me because she could finally see that I'm not worthy even though her heart to me was more precious than the entire sea.
Left me sitting here crying out endless tears for years wondering how and when I can smile ear to ear again.
When she Took back hers, she took away my best friend and left me with a hole in my chest with no tools to mend.
But then again I was equally a bad friend and I wish I could at least explain to her that the me back then was not the end of the growth of my personality or limit of my sanity.
I feel like I so hopelessly skewed her personal perspective of my mentality, and rationality and I ******* ruined her reality of me

... again.

So When will my sadness end then?
I guess I have to start growing a new heart.

Conscious Aug 2016
I have to hate you to not love you

If you only knew what I have been through, for you.

*******, I hate you.

My Flow
Conscious Jul 2016
The rhythm of my flow is picking up
Slow, steady... a peaceful motion
It can't be stopped no matter what
Its heading towards a deeper ocean.
Pebbles and rocks, they sit and stay
The deeper waters they will never know
But I will continue to flow my way
So good luck, but you can't stop my flow.

Letting her fly
Conscious Jun 2016

Chapter 2016- "Graduates"
Conscious May 2016
He has a job, he works out,
He paints, he reads,
Honesty is honestly all that he's about
He's cut, he bleeds

A writer, a fighter,
Piano player and drummer
He leaves a dark room, always a little brighter
Tennis, soccer, yes, a runner

He draws, he cooks,
He provides thoughts of insight
And yet, overlooked, dot dot dot He's a crook
Judged by those who have blind sight

Deceitful, lier,
Hypocrit, controller
Disrespectful womanizer
One ****** up troller

It's just an interesting lesson in general.  
Painting an accurate picture of societies funeral

It shows the mindset, the perception
The deception of proper conceptualization.
The inability to use context plagues our nation.

How morals are constructed by biased filters
Right and wrong determined by Twitter, the ultimate thriller.

It shows the true nature of society's situation
But hey you know this already, happy graduation.
Generation
Conscious Apr 2016
Today I traveled somewhere.   
      I traveled past this reality.
           Flew past emotions.           
                                         Left individuality.
                              Went deeper than the oceans...            
I moved past the universe,
                                    and became all that exists...,
But I had to come back...
                                               I knew I'd be missed.

    There are levels of awareness, existence and pure cognizance,
               I reached the road to the highest level...
                        The dead end of consciousness.

Chapter 20 - The Test
Conscious Jan 2016
Like an illusion with one purpose; to deduce a conclusion,
A fusion between delusion and logical institution...
Taken to replace confusion, to provide clarity as a substitution.
Taken to instill internal, sometimes radical revolution,
But the result, a structured, calm and alien solution...
Random distribution, constantly facing pollution, rarely restitution.
Fear of execution.

I am the test.

I help myself
Conscious Jan 2016
I help you, I help her
I help him, I help them
You feel cold, I give fur
Feel alone, I am friend.
But one thing, is for sure,
It stays true, til the end,
Help for me, is not ensured.
I help myself, I self transcend.

Chapter 23- The Dove
Conscious Dec 2015
Sometimes you have to leave the one you love
to find yourself through other people
Like letting go of a dove
in order to stop looking at the mirror through a peephole
Conscious Oct 2015
Found a job even before graduation day
GPA: 3.779
"My God thats so sublime!"
"You obviously spent a lot of time studying and working hard, your such a good student"

Freshmen year, what should I study?
Environmental science or environmental policy?
Gear towards engineering or develop a philosophy...
Probably, eventually, something that applies to me, it needs to be just right for me, yes... a job thats ideal for me...
My god help me, this is ******* insanity, I have to increase my probability of getting paid for doing an accepted activity that specializes my mental ability but allows me to continue developing my creativity but I honestly don't know what is right for me !

Sophomore year, **** it.
lets have some fun college is nowhere near done,
I'll study this ******* I'm learning and hunt for any desires I'm yearning.
I'll take a break from you just to see what I can do, its okay because I'll always still love you.
I'll take this internship now, take a break from college
come back home, wow, this *****, I really miss college.
Well I'm home now for 7 months, I guess I'll come back to you
I know I'm confusing, I'm sorry.

Junior Year, what the **** happened here the end is so ******* near
Its time to put everything on overdrive
I'm going to gear up and buckle up because it may be a bumpy ride

Senior Year, okay its ending. Maybe I should end us too.
I keep doing so good. I'm writing an honors thesis now. I presented. My work was published. I got a B plus... I got a job... I'm not your boyfriend anymore. How come my words stopped rhyming?

What's up?
Conscious Sep 2015
Sometimes I miss you so much I want to throw up, the thought of you with someone else makes me want to blow up, I choke up, I smoke up, drink up and shut up just to keep my love for you sewed up and locked up.

As I fill up my inflatable float with distractions, I’m scared one day it will erupt from the build-up of my anxiety’s reactions and blow the **** up in the face of all my current transactions.

I’m sorry I’m messed up, but I’m getting through it day by day but hey, I honestly wouldn’t want it any other way so I’m going to keep inflating and hopefully keep going up, up, up and away until one day I won’t give a **** how high I’ve gone up and I know in my heart that that’s whats up.

Chapter 23, Today is me
Conscious Sep 2015
Chapter 23, today this poem is about me,
This poem is about me, but just today you see,
Today I feel free, and filled with... I don't know, glee?
But not really, its just a silly fluctuation of hormones maybe,
Or perhaps a caffeine rush from the coffee I drank at 11:30.
Or maybe its just me having an epiphany,
An epiphany that others can see so easily,
That I am just a ******* freak.
Sep 2015 · 402
I am just a wave.
Conscious Sep 2015
It is security they crave, not heading what I say,
I am but just a wave, I only have one way.
I'll pull you in, I'll push you away,
they watch  me leave, they wish I would stay
They think I'm clear, clean and oh so serene,
but then they feel my roughness and eventually call me mean.
I can drown you, push you to shore or help you escape
You can use me for energy, or to wipe off your own ***** slate
But just know I can also be dark more than I can be light
And my bite will leave a mark that can easily instill fright
So be careful for although I can save,
I can be very destructive.
After all, I am just a wave.

Chapter 6, Jason
Conscious Sep 2015
I associate his death with a lot of things,
My over caring personality,
My inability to not over think things,
My attraction to the darker side of reality,
Getting too close for no good reason,
My mood changing by the season,
Even my rhymes aren't consistent

Happy Now?
Conscious Aug 2015
Nothing makes me happy anymore
I realize as I stare at this floor
and the ceiling and the wall
sometimes I just cant help but fall
Nothing is making me happy as it should
Getting girls, I thought would
Working out, ya if only I could
The fear, if finding something new
to keep me happy, is only few
and once all those things are found
what happens after, what is happening now?
Is that all that life is?
Trying to find something just to miss?
Why is happiness so hard

Chapter 1; The Adopted Boy
Conscious Aug 2015
Blue baby born to a future with no past,
Time with "mother" was no time at all
So many paths to be taken
Where could life sustainabley last?
A soft floor, learn to crawl
A foreign language to be foresaken
But in the light there is always darkness
Isolation follows groups
Past issues should be resolved first
Adoption only after harkness
Otherwise, prepare for hoops
This is the beginning of my beautiful, cursed

— The End —
