I find myself without you, once again.
This time really does feel like the end.
I warned myself to know what to do,
I told myself I would know.
I'm more aware of what is going on now that I've calmed myself.
I'm at the spot
where I told you How my head works.
I'm at the spot where we tossed rocks into the water.
Somewhere passed the spot
we played pooh sticks.
Only I'm not happy.
Only there is no laughing
Only there is no you.
My chest feels tight.
My chest feels like im having a cramp.
No matter how I contort myself I can't make the pain stop.
I miss you.
God I ******* miss you.
Getting off work has never felt so meaningless.
Skating towards your apartment never felt so pointless.
Passing it hurt so much.
Not that you care, all I am is stress anyway.

Denxai Mcmillon Jun 2015
It hasn't even been an hour
since I said goodbye to you.
I want to skate to your house
And do this all again in person.
I wonder if you'd let me
I wonder if it'd be different.
I wonder if you're thinking about me
I wonder.

I am analytical
I am calculating
I am the monster called realism
I am not here to be everyone's friend
I am caring
I am cold
I am ashamed of who I am
I am the beast that feeds on itself
I am terror incarnate

Suicidal tendencies.
Denxai Mcmillon Sep 2015
Sometimes I click 'add a poem' and I just sit staring at the blank 'body section and feel my heart collapse in on itself. It's been that way recently. Everyone expects me to be happy when I can't and when I try really hard to be happy I get the timing all wrong as a result I'm kind of numb. I perpetually wish I was dead especially after a good night. I've heard that suicide tends to happen most after the committer has had a really good day. I can see how that's true. Have you ever looked at a beautiful painting while listening to a song that pulled you out of the deepest depression you've ever experienced? It changes you. I'm changed. I drink nightly. I spend every day surrounded by knives. I could make it look like an accident. I'm so lonely. No one cares. No one cares no one cares. No one gives a **** about me. I'm an excuse to ramble about what's hurting them. But it's okay. I'm here to help others. That's my only purpose. I'm getting tired though. I'm getting tired of being used. It hurts, living. I just want to make it stop. I'm tired of the whispers. No one knows how bad I really am. I never get far into telling them before they cut me off and I just shut up its how I was raised. It's all I know. And my feelings are irrelevant anyway. Whatever happens ,when I drink tonight, happens. I almost feel a genuine smile forming at the thought of self mutilation and self disposal.

My inner monologue.
Denxai Mcmillon Jun 2015
Somehow I'm losing my grip.
Somewhere along the lines I lost sight
Since I couldn't be a marine
My drive has died
I'm lying to everyone.
I'm lying through my smile
It's just that these stress related canker sores
under my tongue make it hard to talk.
I want to be alone
With you.
I want to cry with my head in your lap
But that desire is as misplaced
As my frustration
I feel so vacant
I am so hollow
that if you where to
drop a penny down my throat
It'd take months before you heard the echo.
I don't know what passion feels like
I forget what motivation tastes like
I no longer hear my determination
All I have left are these depressing poems
A handful of self doubt
And a pocket with a broken spirit.
I remember when the sunrise meant something.
I remember when the moons light filled me with joy.
Maybe it's just this week.
Maybe it's just a bad day.
I hope that this headache stops
before I snap my phone in half.
I hope I can avert my gaze from the simple solution of cigarette smoke
And a circular burn somewhere on my upper arm.
The devil on my shoulder
Killed my conscious Months ago
His corpse still dangles from my neck like branches on a willow tree.
God, someone **** me and make it look like suicide.
I don't have the guts to spill my own myself anymore.

You were my plum
You were my earth

You were my stick of my favorite bubble gum.
I miss you more than I can describe
I miss you.

Growing up.
Denxai Mcmillon Sep 2018
"growing up means
Watching my heros
become human
in front of me."

I never thought
those words
would gain
So much power.

My father
My teachers
Everyone.

No more rose lens
No more misty eyes

Simply human.
Struggling,
Lost,
Confused

Just like me.

Speaking Honestly, I just wanna sit in silence with you.
Denxai Mcmillon Sep 2022
I was awoken by the sound of song
Time adrift spent to long
I couldn't see although I searched
For the space your voice was perched
A voice so strong a stiffened breeze
That fell to silence with a subtle ease
I listened hard to try and hold
The voice that let these words unfold

Roses
Denxai Mcmillon Oct 2021
When we met you smelled like roses
I felt a love for a flower.
A love I never knew I could.
When we moved in together
You smelled like roses
It became the smell of home.
But
You don’t like the smell anymore
I still love the smell of roses
I’m not quite ready to wake up

You've always asked me why I never verbalize my emotions,
well.
I don't know how,
when I try and speak the words
stumble off my tongue,
Into my teeth
off my lips
then
they fall flat of expectation
never really seem to strike a chord
or
stand out.
So I, simply, don't.
When I push the keys on my keyboard though.
That's when I speak the most fluently.

I'm not your boyfriend
realistically speaking,
I never will be.
You think you know how much you're hurting me but you really don't.
Nights spent without you
I'm curled up in a very neat,
as small as I can manage, ball.
I sob quietly sometimes
others I just lay
absent and vacant of any emotion
I can press my fingertip to and point out.
When I'm with you,
I question everything,
every smile,
every flirtatious bat of your eye,
every letter in the words "I love you" I'm not the person you want.
I'm just your best friend who's a good lay.
How can I believe in a love
that you never give me reason to trust?
How can you be "in love" with me
but still so blindly
and
unapologetically hurt me.
I'm a good friend,
just not good enough to be a boyfriend.
But hey, you're getting what you want. And as much as it hurts,
as much as I know I'm not permanent, as much as my self worth depletes
I will continue to fall prey
to my overwhelming amount of love strictly directed at you.
When the pants end
and were laying in bed silently listening to music
I'm thinking of what I can do to make you love me the way I love you
I'll wonder what you believe what we are.
What you expect of me.
Nothing matters anymore.
I just want you to be happy.

Waking up next to you
Is a cliché,
A dream come true.

Drinking 'till we're sleepy
Is so much fun,
I hope that we do it again

I know you know I love you
You know I know you feel the same

Let's hold our love together
And from others lets abstain.

The night after.
Denxai Mcmillon May 2015
The night after you spend in my bed
I always find myself
sleeping
wherever you did
as opposed to my normal spot.
Because It still smells like you.
So tonight I'll dream of the day
when
"One night"
Becomes
"The rest of our lives."

Nights at sea
Denxai Mcmillon Mar 2015
As the night ages, as do I.
I find peace
swimming the ocean that is my head.
my tired mind runs over the clichés like
a whale surfacing for air.
I sit in my bed
thinking of the days
when I was captain of my vessel, Lady Luck.
as the name implies I tested just that, until  that is,
the storm that was you
came to capsize my ship.
Now, I swim with my debris
I've thusly named my new ship
The Lost Lady.

Concrete
Barrier between seed and sky.
A wall blocking the path of least resistance
Yet here we are
Pressing,
pushing
and
eventually,
eventually
passing
Not all beauty is plastered in flowers.
Some beauty is in our simple appearance on the side under the sky

The hours I spend without you by my side are the pinnacle of appreciation.

My love for you runs faster than a thin shallow river with the depth of the sea.

It may seem kind of odd that the love we've constructed was built so quickly.

And it may seem odd that for every hour, whether we spend it together or not

Seems endless.

I'm hiding from humanity.
I'm sitting outside my house.
I'm waiting for my dad to fall asleep.
I'm going to go inside at the dead of night.
And drink until I'm blind.
I'll pass out and wake up,
Go to work and do it again.
Denxai Mcmillon Nov 2021
It's been a very long time
since I was typing at a computer thinking and even longer since I last heard this song.

I find myself thinking,
Overly about my future,
About our future
A future that may not exist.
I love you.
I love you
Repetition never really seemed important.
Repetition always seemed so powerful.

If I sing you songs of what is
will you remember what was?

I'm wounded
I'm wounded
By you
I'm hurt
by what you could never see
because for you
Self reflection is a step, too, far.
For now at least.
There will come a day
I think when you will look back
Maybe
A day that I'm no longer here.
Not dead.
Just not with you.
I can't spend my whole life waiting for you.
I won't,
So
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

With repetition
Comes the loss of meaning
this is an ongoing project, of nine years; called, well, All children make mistakes where i listen to the song of the same name

It's been a long time;
The thought of deeper thought.
It's kept me away from this place
for a long time.
Probably,
Too, long
Yet here I am opening my mouth.
Every thought pours from me faster than I can't stop it.
Less venom
Less malice
Less anger.
It's there
It's still there
I fear it
I walk beside it.
I wear it like my brown skin
A testament to who I am.
It's defensive.
It's armor
It's
Disgusting.
I'll shed you like snake skin
I'll push you from my flesh
I no longer need you.
I'll never forget you,
As an old ally turned for
Anger
We are no longer friends.
Be gone
Be gone
Leave me.
In peace.

I'm sorry
I am,
I don't want to be apart from you
There's a lot I want
But this is what I need
When I can look at you without the warped image created by the indescribable amount of love I have for you.
I might reach out to you.
You're so quick to think that you're always right.
You are a lot of the time.
You ditched me because of convenience.
"I am not one to be stood up"
You said that.
I'm learning to live it.
You can now mind your business and not have to worry about my troubles.
You're on your own now.
I don't hate you.
I'm in love with you still
And cutting you off from my in depth thoughts
Is in its own right self harm
It hurts
I'm hurting
But that's okay to you because they aren't cuts on my sleeve right
