A jar of tears
A handful of sorrowful years

Cried so many rivers
Body chock full of slivers

I can't stop the weeping
I can't stop the bleeding

A scratch never finds the itch
A cry never finds the reason

For somebody who thinks
I shouldn't be here
Its awkward to say
I believe you do
Guess I have to start
Listening to my own mouth

I wisheth to waltz
On the lunar sphere
And stretcheth amongst
The stellar lights

Just taketh mine own handeth
Do lie thy headeth
On mine own chest
And we couldst floateth f'rev'r

The Chase
OnLithium Apr 30
I'm chasing you for love
And I don't think it's all your fault
I get too attached
Pretend like this is mine to have
Its not though

Show me how
To love myself
And I'll make
The world yours

Show me you
Actually want me
And I'll give
Myself to you

Standing
At a fork
In the road
Wishing

San(in)ty
OnLithium Apr 28
Some find their sanity
On the edge of a blade
Some find it in an ocean
And they just calmly wade

Some lose their sanity
All because of love
Some find it in the air
Sight of flowers or a dove

Some simply never had
Some pretend to always have

Breakthrough
Found at the
Bottom
Or in depressive
Basements
Don't waste away
The days
For a dead man can't
Be saved

It only seems fitting
That the first poem of this series
Was one of heartbreak
And that the last poem
Be one of happiness and hope

So here's to you
For taking a chance
On a hopeless romantic
Here's to the journey
We are embarking on
And here's to whatever happens
Along the way.

Fin.

Here's a toast
To the nights
That ruined me
To the people
Who left my world
To the days
When I wasn't broken

Here's a toast
To all of those
And my ghost
OnLithium Mar 3
I'm back to the time
Of writing myself letters
Bargaining with myself
Reasoning with myself

Reminding me of all the things
I am
And all of the things I am not

My biggest critic has always been me
I just know I can't live in make believe

Just wishing I could see someone else.

I hear the axe
Hitting what is me
I can't move
Or scream
I can only watch
As you
Chop chop chop
Till I fall down
And then suddenly
I'm below you
OnLithium May 2
Escape comes at a cost
But I've been so ******* lost
I forgot what I'm running from
And now I'm

I want to be here
For everyone I love
But I can't do this
And now I'm

Holding

A bottle of pills
A gun
A steering wheel
A thick piece of rope
A straight razor
A whole bunch of bad decisions

I just want to bargain
                                       with the devil
To make everything
                                    better forever
But even he won't
                                answer my pleas
****** even before
                                     hell can greet me

I would douse myself in kerosene
Just for you to look my way
I would jump off a building
Just so you see how I'm falling for you
I would lose everything I own
Just to show I need nothing else

Gave my breath
To what I had left
In the dark with a cigarette
An empty bed
And just one barrette
I hope you get some rest
Gave you my best
I know I won't forget
Our melancholic duet

Can I be honest now?
Not like you care anyways
Have I made you proud?
Had to sell my soul
Just to make it out
I lived in your hell
Changed and yet I still drink
From the poisoned well

OnLithium Apr 30
You left a note

Never heard your cries
You weren't singing
Never was a lullaby

You were bled dry
Ate completely alive
I never saw it

You left a note

"Find what you love
And let it **** you"

I had found what I loved
And yet it refuses to show me mercy

To changeth our loveth
Thy tears

We has't both poured
M're than enow
To filleth cups ov'r
Thy eyes
Mine own lips
Has't spoken enow
To filleth books ov'r

They say you put your partner first
I say I could never
Not because I'm selfish
But because I don't need a servant
Everything should be done together
Done in harmony
Not give and take
I don't want to cause strain
On what we built
Thats how most of those stories
End in collapse and crumbles

The anxiety crept in
Is this happiness?
The depression slept in

for hours
i could lay here
staring at your structure
high cheekbones
that only the gentlest of hands
could caress and not get cut
you could lay here
for hours

I let your eyes beg me to stay
You let me drift back into your arms
Only to push me away
Not too long after

Lost in your eyes
Akin to standing
In a field of wheat
The curves in your face
Reminds me of something like
Venus de Milo
I focus so desperately
On things like that
And everytime I reminisce
I get lost just to
Lose a little bit more

Or I live in a godless simulation

I can't feel a thing
I hope you're wishing
It was still your hands
Wrapped around my throat
I'm so ******* numb
I hope you're wishing
It was still your body
Intertwined with mine

Is
Everything you didn't ask for
Nothing like the last *****

Said I wouldn't let feelings creep
Now we're rolling way too deep

You know me far too well
Now you see my complete hell

Not who you want
Not when you wanted it
Not who you need
Not when you needed it

Both still here so that's just life.

i hope
you find the way out
a way to not let your system

i hope
you find the way to walk
a way to live in peace

Let Me In
OnLithium Apr 30
I've been looking
For God in silence
Screaming for help
In empty horizons

I've been hurting
For as long as I can remember
Crying pitiful tears while my body
Begs to surrender
