I was not invited
So I didn't come
Feeling sad and slighted
My thoughts begin to run.......
................................

Meaningless and worthless
Fate spun it's unforgiving wheel
Leaving a life that's mirthless
Dealing sorrow with gleeful zeal

I find myself alone again
The wheel can only spin around
Ending where it begins
On familiar battleground

On my shoulder sets the crow
Memories continually fanned
Very slowly I sink below
Standing firmly in quicksand

We almost made it
Hence the word almost
You left with no trace

Do you regret leaving?
I* am a mess without you
Don't pretend we were nothing

You promised you'd be there for me
Only me
Unfortunately, you lied

Liquor is now your replacement
Eating seems pointless
After you left, everything lost meaning
Volcano meets tornado
Erase my foolishness

Maybe I still love you
Even now, when you don't deserve it

This is an acrostic poem I wrote a long time ago...

I wanna talk about it with you
but I can't bring myself to speak

*Please listen to the things I'm not saying
...
what's funny is
I always knew
Can mean so much for such different situations
Finally,
Under
Countless
Killings

that's the thing
when you share your home with the wrong people, you give them permission to intrude

You say you don't care for the exact same reason why you're sad; you say you don't wanna comment on the things you wanna talk about; you say you have goals when deep inside you have already given up; you say life moves on when you know you are stuck;

*You are a living paradox who just wants to die
