 Jan 2017 Desolation
Mike Patten
She once thought,
she wanted to be a poet,
but deep down,
she knew,
she wanted to be a poem.

Hate yourself....
Pity yourself......
Hurt yourself....
But always remember that there are other people who will also get hurt seeing you breaking

I emptied myself
to complete you
And in return
You poured it all
to someone else

They say we die a thousand times before our hearts stop beating
I agree

One is the sigh of a person giving up on you
Another is the grasp of a loved one fading away
When you walk away and no one calls your name
You die again when you hear the goodbye of a person
you thought would stay
You die the minute you realized you wasted your life
on someone or something that isn't even going to happen
When someone you thought cares forgets your birthday,
You die a little bit but live on anyway
You die when someone you knew so well becomes a stranger
& when someone you love doesn't even bother to know you
You die when you feel you're never good enough
You die again when there's no hope
after all that's said and all that's done
You die every time someone leaves
and when someone dies, you die with them

You die a thousand times before your heart stops
And even after that, when one by one people start to forget you,
**you die again

I just want to mean
the same thing
as you mean to me

but I guess
I'm just a dead star
in your cosmos


while you are
the universe to me

Why do we keep breaking
those who are already
broken?

Everything
I felt,

most of the time
we have to be
our own
hero

because everyone else
is busy saving
their own
wicked
souls

Pieces

You never really lose people
parts of them always stay with you

And it's both beautiful and sad to think
that we are all composed of pieces
from the people who broke us

and by which we are complete
