There is a certain Beauty in Brokenness
And Purpose in Pain.

I felt my heart begin to pound
Your voice had that familiar sound..

I saw you slowly walk up those stairs
I knew I was right to be so scared..

The way you looked at me..
I could barely breathe..

The air was heavy with doubt
Who knew silence could be so loud?

Loving you was always so hard..
..I guess..

Never love a poet so much,
for she will build her world around you.
She’ll contrast you to the sun and stars;
she will love you so.

She will give you lovely notes
to brighten up your day.
You’ll find it a little weird
but you look forward to it, anyway.

Never love a poet so much,
for she will invest a lot in you.
She will become the person you’ll only ever need
without taking a lot from you.

She will take you to places,
and make you experience things
within a room's four corners
and her words as your wings.

Never love a poet so much,
for even after all those things
she will take away her love,
and leave you without a trace
with her heartache as her fuel
for another masterpiece.
a poet leaves.

as unlikely in love as

sand is not to toss under the wind

the southside is to sleep at night

stone is to soften against your head

as rain is to not be wet

but the stinging sensation
when you left
"the pain isn't real, just chemicals tellin' my brain how I ought to be"

i'm not speaking for everyone
just the ones
who are like me

it's not masochism
neither is it psychotic
but the pain we love
and the love we pain

for pain brings us
to new levels of understanding (the self, others)
to greater heights of seeing (the self, others)
to lower grounds with (the self, others)

p a i n
the dreaded four lettered word
l o v e
another dread in another day

the immeasurable love
that brings us
immeasurable pain
and yet we throw ourselves in

for what more can pain/love do
except to make you feel
                                          ...pain?
4:44AM thoughts.
Put my throat at the end of a knife,
Torture all your critics until they die,
Face the punishment in the afterlife,
All for you, accept my sacrifice.

Paint the walls crimson with my blood,
Decorate my skin with scars and cuts,
**** somebody with an accidental shove,
For you are the one I love.

Stick needles in my brain,
Even if it drives me insane,
Demolish the people in your way,
This untouched skin I want you to trace.

Somehow, I don't care if you don't do the same for me,
Just kiss me for a while until you leave;
You can't escape me anyway, honey,
Because I'll be stuck haunting in your dreams.
Inspired by the song "Love Ballad" by Tove Lo... Chop off my hands, chop off my feet. I'd do it for you; ain't love sweet? XD

Am I crazy?
I see people, who aren't really there.
They talk to me, whispering things in my ear.

Shhh,
Don't tell anyone.
They'll lock you back up,
No discretion, but you just have bad luck.

They tell me I'm psychotic,
And dose me up on meds,
To make me feel "sane" again,
Their lies I will be fed.

But I've been there before, I've seen the road and I've been through the doors,
Seconds feel like years when you're in an asylum,
Your heart they will pour.

Don't call me schizophrenic,
Because I swear that I'm not,
I know the people that I see,
Were  once alive like me.
