Why does this always happen
Dreams turn into nightmares
Wishes turn into bargaining for life.
This all happen because of one little lie.
I didn’t mean for this to get this bad.
I talk, but no one listens.
I’m living for the future me.
The one that isn’t here yet,
If you see this, then we made it.
I did this all for you,
You deserve to have a chance.
I’m sorry that I got you this far
And nothing changed.
Promise me that it will be better.
Promise me that it was worth the wait.
Worth the suffering, crying, and blood loss.
The losing of friends and family.
Worth the game, we all play.
The wind got louder
Whispers started to fade
Like the love we once had.
I look at the pictures and wonder why I can’t remember any of this.
My mind is going insane trying to put the pieces together.
Was this really love?
All I feel is Emptiness when thinking of you.
Please help me Figure this out.
I know your scars
And you know mine
We trace them in the dark
and celebrate
each mark

you have galaxies in you that no one’s ever seen before.

staring into your abyss is where i find myself evermore.

i am lost in the chaos of your eyes and i do not mind.

i could study your swirls of color every second until forever.

i do not need your hands on me to feel,

your disputed love seeps into my skin from across the room;

quite surreal.

your shooting stars ignite flames in me that cannot be extinguished.

even after you’ve walked away, i am still burning for you.

you scattered stars across my darkened skies;

who knew they’d all be laced in goodbyes?

There is an entire universe
inside her head. And I'll be
kidding myself if I say I am
beginning to understand her,
when all I've ever done is just
catch a glimpse of the galaxies
within, through her eyes.

Now, despite having nebular
thoughts, what I know is that
I will neither fully grasp what's
going on in there nor will I ever
fathom the simplicity and
complexity of her soul.

But that's okay.
I'll love her, anyway.
random thoughts. alcohol-fuelled.
If I had one wish
It would be that someone
someday
could really see me
feel me
touch me
hear me
If I had one wish
It would be that someone
someday
Could really know me
love me
hold me
just once
for once
If I had one wish
It would be that...........
There are two truths
Mine and
Yours
And in between
There are years and years of
Lies
It is quiet now
The day has left
Shadows appear
As if by request
I am quiet now
My love has left
Ghosts appear
As if by bequest
If there is anything here at all
You want
Or desire
Take it
I am open
Like a war wound
On the battle floor
No one can reach
to save me
so I will lie here
forever
exposed
on this cold concrete floor
