I’ve been holding my breath too many nights in a row

I’ve been holding my breath too many nights in a row

I’ve been holding my breath
too many nights in a row

Trying to move onward
but my progress is slow

I keep thinking I’m fine
that I am finally sane

But then I catch a glimpse
and I relapse again

You’re like a drug to me
an endorphin injection

I remember the past
our affection—perfection

But now you are not here
and that brightness is long gone

I see from a distance
exactly how you moved on

Loving you is killing me

Loving you is killing me

my heart explodes and breaks my chest,

i see the bones under my breast.

warm blood is pumping through my vains,

you put a pistol to my brain.

i take a breath and then i sigh,

you pull the trigger and i die.

I lost it halfway through this poem.

I lost it halfway through this poem.

You want a rough guy,
Well that's just not me, baby
You want a man that'll waste your time
Instead of worry about your safety

I'm gentle, but I'm a wreck
You're always on my mind
I cant seem to satisfy
**** this poem, I'm to mad to even write
Thinking I'm gonna try and be someone I'm not for you.
LOL nope.

alone

alone

restlessness grips me
and loneliness settles in

squeezes me in its hands
and refuses to let me go;

i've come to realize that there are people who emphasize this misery i'm feeling so i shut the door and windows close and i don't talk

and all i have become
is alone.

The Wish

The Wish

Remember that time you made the wish?

     I make a lot of wishes.

The time I lied to you
about the butterfly. I always wondered
what you wished for.

     What do you think I wished for?

I don't know. That I'd come back,
that we'd somehow be together in the end.

     I wished for what I always wish for.
     I wished for another poem.

I learned to love another

before myself

Which is why I love you

even when I do not love myself

and I understand that you don't

love me

because loving me is no ones

priority

not even mine

winter.

winter.

It's winter now my dear , and the cold makes me reminisce of summer and all the memories made. The memories that keep me smiling as if they were played on repeat like your favorite song. How falling asleep and waking up wrapped in your arms is all I looked forward to as I closed my eyes while i dreamt of you and me. My love I must say , these thoughts lingering in my mind are haunting me. Oh how its driving me crazy .

But its winter now my dear and someone else is falling asleep and waking up wrapped in your arms. The cold reminds me of how you told me you hate winter and how everything seemed so sad.

As I sit here playing these memories on repeat like your favorite song , someone else is loving you the way I couldn't.

Reflection Of My Own Death

Reflection Of My Own Death

I felt alive, as I took my final breath
Don't you cry, I've found redemption in my death
Home isn't where your heart is,
Or where you hang your enemies head
but wherever the beautiful woman is,
that I woke up, laying next to, in bed

My headstone shouldn't be grieved upon
I am just a poet, a scholar, and a man
It's always darkest before the dawn,
And the dawn now comes, again
