1 am
i miss you
and your
silly jokes,
warm smile

2 am
im still awake,
and i miss your
arms around me,
comforting me
when i was sad

3 am
i need you here,
beside me, every
day, minute, second.
i need you here.

4 am
i love you and
i can't live without
you beside me,
telling me it's all
going to be okay.

5 am
where are you,
when i need you.

6 am
i can't sleep.
i can't dream.
all i have are
nightmares

I hope* you read this letter
every word between the lines

I hope you read the frustration
with what I could not confide

I hope you read the anger
that's left me such a mess

I hope you read the million questions
rattling my little head

I hope you read these swollen eyes
when they were still yours to see

I hope you read these supple lips
when with yours, would still agree

I hope you read these warm fingers
when yours were still willing to hold

I hope you read the little lies
that left your promises bold

I hope you read the love
inevitably bled

I hope you read the hope
amid all the things unsaid

I hope you read the resentment
of letting go so soon

I hope you read these lines
the last ones I write for you

“hello poetry”* i said
and you reply “hi, my friend.
got anything in your head?”

and i almost laugh of dread,
because there's nothing left
but a brain that's almost dead.

“just type it up, my friend.
whatever you bled”

you said with a breath.

then, here i am
for a minute or two,
created another without a clue
but if you just knew,
i don't know how to end this little blue..
I guess, i was just typing words after words here. I know, the bled is kind of morbid.

do you know life?
do you understand life?
me neither.
but i do know one thing,
even if you're nothing
or the everything,
**not
everyone
gets
a
happy
ending
Don't get me wrong, i'm not suicidal.  Srsly.

I'm a ghost with a beating heart
trailing the earth, alive but dead
others viewing my dark mind as art
though i perceive it as a quilt sewn together
by the weakest thread.
So much is expected in the world of living
constantly pressured to be perfect
and if you fail it's not very forgiving.
The thing of life is that it's based on a society
this society sets the standards of your worth in life.
It is not known for its wide variety
I roam alone... not living by society but by me
I prefer to be an inspiration.
Everyone is their own individual
no-one should feel pressured to change.
Your soul should roam freely
not locked in societies cage.
The ones similar to I and are making their own path
are unaccepted, because they refuse to do
what is expected.
Typically the living world will
drive them to madness
and creating wounds on themselves
some wounds however
are not visible by sight.
Other wounds are created with weapons
during the night.
Many paths were started but never finished
because many had wounds
that couldn't even be fixed with stitches.
I however never breathe
i fill my lungs instead.
Join me in creating new paths
don't allow societies travelers to
lead you to self destruction
ending with you living under the flowers.
Finish your path
make it great , and do not quit.
The life form you have is lovely.
I started digging my grave, but instead
made a pond for the fishes.
Nothing is worth leaving your path unfinished.
Once you make it to the end of your path
the right way... then you may rest beneath
the stars, under unique flowers.
If it's your desire
you can finish another's path
and set their fears left behind on fire.
Society may be considered life's instructions
but life itself has none
so make your own and start constructing.
For I hope when you're done
the path was worth the trip.
You are your own... no other of you has existed till you and will never exist again. Make this existence the best.
Have you ever wanted to cry
Not because you are sad or hurt
But because you feel nothing
And you wanted to feel alive again

You saw your reflection on the mirror
You were confused
Because that girl wasn't you
*It was the girl created by life and it's eternal suffering

He told me my scars weren't beautiful
And I told him that no one could ever really admire a masterpiece
Without taking a few steps back
Your scars make you who you are and no matter what you are beautiful
