i’m empty
You ****** the life out of me
But every time you reply I breath a little easier
How do I choose
To be empty and heal
Or to breath

Your hands let me bleed
My hands let you live

My eyes saw your lies  
Your eyes saw my pain

But You didn’t bleed, you caused the pain. It’s not fair that the hands that hurt me aren’t even scratched at all.
Clean hands in heartbreak

Your heart had been breaking for years. But you broke mine in one go. I couldn’t see the punch you threw. All I could see was me using the pieces of my broken broken heart to mend yours.

Your heart was full, you never looked back to check on mine.

I crumbled in your hands and you rose with the glory.
I kept you alive.
While you killed me.
You broke me

I cannot wait a lifetime for you to realise how much you love me.

Love can last an eternity, but love cannot be put on hold.

Love cannot wait, why would you make me wait?

She’s real

I didn’t even have to say her name, you knew straight away who I was talking about.

You made me feel crazy

You got defensive

I was right to be confused

Turned out it was bigger than I thought

You’ve met her, yet never mentioned her.  

I’m crazy, but I was right.

I didn’t close the curtains because the night sky was speaking to me.
Clouds as soft as my king size sheets. But only one star staring in at me.. she’s just as lonely as me.
These windows make it seem like that universe up there could just engulf me.
I’m not afraid, please just take me.
Fly me across the sky like Peter taking Wendy’s hand.
Fly me to that star whose staring right back at me.

We both screamed but mine.. mine you could not explain.
I didn’t make your ears bleed.
I didn’t force your eyes open.
I waited , I tried and I fixed.
But my hands couldn’t hold the concrete you all poured so I screamed a final cry so loud this noise was the last to ever fall.
I roared so violent my chest couldn’t bare to breath.
I tore us both from the inside out so much so that you confused it with self exploration.  

No I didn’t cry wolf so you surely don’t know how to tame this rare beast.
I am nothing like the other you’ve always seen.
This sweet face of mine is the most cursed that this family could be.
