Face down
arms up high
I reach for anything i can.
From where i stand
the distance between me

and where you are

**becomes too grand.

reality and truth.
They either come too soon
or too late.
But in this case
they don't just come
they HIT.
My fairy tale stained with hate.
Oliver Twist Feb 2014
Running from anything
that lives,
breathes

she wandered the street.
barefoot,
blistered.

Her knees became weak
gravel piercing skin,
bleeding sadness.

her head
left hanging
on a question...
(?)
Oliver Twist Feb 2014
when I found you out
for the fake you are
something shattered...
My image of you
when it fell
off the highest shelf
in my head.
Never thought to reach out
for a cup half empty.

Looking down
I see you a thousand times.
I see you a thousand ways.
I see your thousand crimes
in pieces of glass,
floating in their contents.
For the very first time,
superglue won't do.

we'll label this 'mistake'
and let the distance help forget us.
i'm not really sure what...hahah random i like this tho.

I'll never have you by hello.
I'll never sweep you off your feet.
Just sip me slowly
like a late night glass of wine.


because this potions got me thinking
we could be made for this.

Feelings start slipping
through gaps
made by the questions
leaving burn holes in my head.
Made by the nothing
that I know
of what you do,
while I sit here loving you.

Wondering how long ago
you started slipping,
and how the hell
it took so **** long to notice
I'm slipping too.
All I can do
is look back
to miss what i felt

**when there was nothing to know.
before i knew nothing.
its like that shift between the moment there is truly nothing wrong, to the moment you've been wronged and don't know it, to the moment you realize you've been wrong and then you wonder where exactly things changed, and how long you were wrong about thinking things were right. that **** ****** me off. i want to know exactly how many days i should feel foolish for loving you.
