Escape Apr 2021
Befriended the black.
But then, you came in.
Now, we're strangers again.
You've left. Black feels cheated. Wouldn't get back.
Escape Apr 2021
I've been trying to pretend
Been trying to occupy each second
Been trying to forget
Been trying to believe
Nothing happened
And i could erase it all
And go back to being on-repeat

I've been trying to **** the little life that came back
I've been trying to reverse this
Take myself to
Just breathe this through
Until its the end

I've been trying to put hope
Love
Care
Misery
Life in itself
And you, my darling
All back to bed
Gone, forgotten
All to what they've been
All to what they currently are
All to what you'll ever give me

But I cant
All's anew
I keep running back into the sound of you,
The memory of you,
The idea of you.

Why'd you have to do this.
Any of this, at all.
Why'd you have to have me put up with this?
Pain, for no reason at all?

Where are you?
Could you explain?

At liberty?
May be even at peace?
Because you're very well aware
Of the kind of a memory,
That you are?
The kind of a forever, you are?

Dear Diary,

I am a ghost. I don't know how long I've been this way, but It's my reality.

I've smiled with people who can't see me. I've laughed and made conversation with shadows. Sometimes you forget that you can't be seen...or heard...or even thought of.

I like to watch people live -- questioning the actions and thoughts they feel. Oh, yeah, I can hear their thoughts. Vile and sweet...mixed into a bowl like candied poison.

Sometimes I get lonely. It can get bad...like...really bad. Have you ever wondered why ghosts get so aggressive?... You probably know them as poltergeists. That's when we get so tired of being alone...something comes over us...

It's not like we see each other...no...ghosts are solemnly solitary, unfortunately.

So...yes, there you have it...something I wanted to get off of my chest -- the nonexistent one.

I am an utterly, unfortunate, miserable, somber, quiet, insane, and hurt Ghost.


You're welcome.
Are you a Ghost?

You good?

You're the daybreak
You're the night
You're what I make out of time
You're what keeps me, amidst this mess,
Breathing just fine


You're the one
The only sense
The only one
Who's always on my mind
All the time
