Does time really fly, or was I️ too late
You left so fast
I️ knew you wouldn’t last
You just couldn’t wait to get to  my past.
Give me more time
To do your heart like you did mine
Or was I️t yours?
When I️ felt you in my pores
It’s my turn
To show you what was really yours
My ace, couldn’t be my King
But you owned my being.
Giving myself to you
Thinking you’ll keep me blue
Your pain was so true
Now it’s too late boo.

I’ve lived in fault for a long time.
I️ suffer from the hungry hurt that lies within my bones for a happy soul only to consume it.
The darkness that lived inside is erupting and taking over.
Your wishes are here the great positive things you all said and did have now become so true to be real huh? Don’t look confused I️ told you to watch out.
If you are confused just pay attention to the “Happy” moments I’ve had in life.
Cherish them.
Remember them.
Simply because...
They were all fake.

It hurts.
It hurts even when you don’t think about it.
It hurts when you try and sleep
It hurts knowing that you can’t eat
It hurts knowing that suffocating pain is only getting worse and no one pays it any attention.
I️t hurts to know that I️m alone.
I️t hurts.
It’s hurting.

Am I️ alive?
Functional?
If so,
It doesn’t feel like I️t.
Empty and dark
Counting the clock
How much longer?
You ready?
Here’s my body plant your seed and leave.
Leave me with the scars but silent the pain with your touch.
Who’s touch?
I️ don’t know any of you
But some how I️ find myself next to you
Why am I️ here?
Why are you here?
My body my soul my heart
Empty
Just like my car that’s parked
Am I️ live?
You heal me so well
But why in the moment?
Where’s my forever?
Oh its just my never.
You’re here for one thing
It’s not me, but
My twin he looks just like me lying there
Senseless and emotionless
Here’s my body take care of it
It’s the only thing I️ have left
I️ know I️m your feast
But feed slowly as I️ dissolve like a leaf
If I️m alive..

The sight of that pistol created a silencer over my mouth to keep me from revealing what’s true.
You called me a coward because I️ didn’t want to live
but yet for a second did you remember
you were the one who taught me how not to.
Are you pistol whipped?
From the sound of the trigger being pulled and the shaking of his hand “click”...

Nobody
Not a soul who can really say they cared genuinely.
Maybe in the moment yes.
But forever not at all.
You stare right into my pain when it walks through the door but yet you’re still ashamed.
My scars can’t be hidden any more that forceful smile I️ sent to cover it no longer feels the same.
