He sobbed with a look of depression and wept hopelessly,
The sky was
A dark, melancholy blue
He felt dejected and disappointed

She said he felt lost

She felt sullen,
Seeing the loneliness
Sweep across his features

His heart compressed within his chest,
Tears fell from his eyes as he tried to tear his heart from his rib cage
Knowing he’d always be a failure

She sobbed while holding back tears,
Never looking back at his crumpled figure.
The sky was a midnight blue
And she knew they would never be the same.

Nothing for these strangers would ever be the same,
For she had broken both their hearts
And he had not the strength to hold all the pieces

The black sky stretched above them
Like velvet, stars scattered across its surface

He wept

She walked away

He crumpled

She sobbed

He suffocated

She drowned

Their red string frayed and decayed
While the moon sat high among the stars
Illuminating their crumbling world

I am a terrible friend

I forgot
to tell my friend happy birthday
the day before
because I wouldn't see her
on the day of her birthday

I was too stuck in my own head
that I forgot
another friend's cousin died
today was the funeral

I barely know what's going on
with friends who
used to be so close
but are now distant memories

I'm never around
the reasons being my own
and now
nobody cares to tell me anything

I'm so ****** at myself
and yet
I can't help but
know that there's ways
to reach me
other than in person
but nobody cares enough
to do so

I don't know
if it's my fault or theirs

Yes I'm scarcely seen
in the flesh
anymore
but I have a phone, email,
hell they know where I live

So why doesn't anyone
contact me?

Why am I being
left out in the cold?

Why have I become
a distant memory?

What am I supposed to do?
All these thoughts
race through my head
and yet I can't catch a single one

I can't help but
let these thoughts drown me
and hope for relief

Honestly
I just want someone
who loves me
for me
someone who sees all of my
flaws and scars
and won't run away
gently kissing them instead
slowly, lightly, trailing
gentle fingertips across the maps of my skin
and whisper in my ear
of far away lands
and childhood memories
until we fall asleep
hands between our bodies
fingers interlaced and legs tangled in the sheets
I want endless nights
of pure bliss and rough nights
I want our ups
as well as our downs because that's part of love
I want the lows just as much
as the highs
because without it
I would never properly appreciate the highs
and without the lows
I would forget how good
happiness feels
I want to get drunk on your
Kisses
and high on your
Touch
fall asleep to the sound of your
Heartbeat
sway to the sound of your
Voice
losing myself in your
Eyes
I want to whisper my secrets in your
Ear
and reminisce with you
about growing up,
first loves, and memories we created
I want to dive into your mind
and learn you
from the inside out
curling up and snuggling into your crevices
I'll make my home there
baring myself for you just as you've done for me
