To me
You were an ideation
A daydream
Then you became reality
A blissful presence
Then you became a story
One I hate to tell
And now
You pride yourself
On thinking you're even a memory

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

To feign ignorance
That the world
Just operates how
It does
When the signs
Are clearly there
For some
Its coincidence
For others
Its fate
For me
Its numbers
Such as 818
818 is one of my favorite numbers with my one of my favorite meanings.

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

Am I enough?
The anxiety crept in
Is this happiness?
The depression slept in

I always thought
It'd be fun
To survive in
A dystopian society
And then it
Hit me like
An Orwell book
To my head
We already are

I confess
That the days
Have passed
While I've sat
In regret and turmoil
Don't wanna do this
No more

I confess
Please
Put me to rest

You
Cover your tears
With makeup

I
Cover your fingerprints
With tattoos

What if I
Just covered your eyes

What if you
Just put your hands back on me

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

I wish I had
The words
The time
The tears
The heart
The will
The love

But I don't.

Feel like
I woke up
To a brand new car
Only to find out
I'm going to be
Chained to it
And dragged along

Been so caught up
Trying to be more
Than my past
Haven't even given hope
Or leaving chances
For my future

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

Shaking like a leaf
In a bitter wind
Trying to just hold on
To what's holding me down
Knowing if I can't
I'll float to a place
I don't know
And just skitter around

Standing
At a fork
In the road
Wishing
That the answer
Would come quickly

Afraid of
Losing what
I don't
Have

Afraid of
Choosing what
I haven't

Can't bury myself
Killed every piece
Of myself I loved
After what you did
It only felt right
To leave you with
The shovel

Let this be a reminder
That while hell
Is cruel and horrific
It was this world
That made me
As dysfunctional
And disgusting
As I am
Hell isn't my
Designer

I close my eyes
And pretend
No.
I don't want to know
Its not in my control
No.
You took everything
Gave it all to someone new
No.
You did what you had to
I can't be bitter
No?

You
So patient
Me
So clueless
Now
The universe
Feels
So right
Let's
Get lost
In

Its the way
You turn and look
Straight into my soul
The way you caress
The steering wheel
Like its my face
The way the sun
Seems to radiate
Off of you
And you ask me
"Why are you smiling
Like an idiot?"

A drunk without a drink
A river with no beginning
A street with no cars or pedestrians
A bar with no patrons
A mountain with no peak
A bustling city with no noise
A fiend without a drug
A valley with no bottom
A beggar with no cardboard sign

Sitting here
In a hotel
In Albuquerque
In Awe
Of how we got here
It really is just
A series of chances
Events that dictate
Outcomes
As you sleep
I Am granted
The time to realize
I like this outcome
So far.

The rain
Knocks on my window
Begging me to come on out
The clouds
Hang over my soul
Saying that I'm sheltered

I've become used to
Just enjoying the precipitation
While the storm around me
Does what its always done

I'm no saint
I cannot capture it
Like a photo
I cannot describe it
Like a novel
I cannot draw it
Because I cannot paint

Been underwater
For so ****
Long
Didn't think
Anybody would
Care
Then from
Nowhere you
Appear
In your hands

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

Hold me close
Hold me tight
Kiss me once more
To say goodnight

I am here for now
I won't always be
So kiss me once more
Cause you love me

Crucified
by my own hands
Polarized
by my own choices
Settled
by self medication
Debated
by self evaluation

I go from
3 days of a slumber
To pleasures and rage
Hating me but lusting for you
Times of hopelessness
Thoughts of suicide
To gripping a wheel
Doing over 140
Self wallowing
Hiding in darkness
To feeling immortal
Impulsive purchases
And everytime this flip happens
I feel half of me turn and
Look the other way
***** me out
as if i am no more
than a coal
that you're afraid will
restart the fire
you loved the flames
but now that
it is all subsiding
better to stomp
me into the ground
drown me in
water i can't breathe in

Closure
Found in Closets
Full of proverbial skeletons
Or if its recent trauma
I suppose its
Carcasses

You are so
Cute
Cuddlaeble
Captivating
Clever
Compassionate
Considerate
C­reative
Confident
Classy
Consistent
Calm
I Could go on
But you get the gist
OnLithium Jan 20
I have reached the bottom of my soul
And seen the peak of my ability

The wasteland of trauma
Aided by my vices
Has led me to fear what is inside

I have climbed on broken glass
And seen the blood dripping
Only to not have moved an inch
And to have only hurt myself

I now have the wisdom
"Why am I climbing on broken glass?"
"This cannot be the only path."
I have turned around
Maybe I'll find flowery meadows
Half of me
Wants to change
Half of me
Wants a dose
Half of me
Needs to be better
Half of me
Needs to feel worse
All of me
Knows what I am
But I only feel like
Half of me
