I'm sorry,
I'm drunk, I know.
But how can you text me
a smile,
when you just threw
every promise
out the window.
When you let him in
and up to your room.
When you laid down
and let intimacy ensue.
If you wanted him,
just tell me
so I know where I stand,
so I don't have to be
your man.
How do I deal with reality.

They say
they love who I am.
They scream it
at the flesh that I'm in.
But they dont know
that who I am
is killing me.
This mental state
has consumed my name.
If I could I would,
but I don't know how,
to return to the boy
they already destroyed.
What a bind I'm in.

These days
my shadow has sharper edges
than my thoughts.
But my thousand-yard stare
pierces the horizon.

Its a difference of morality.
You value what you can take
from them.
I value humans
equally.
They're people,
not a means to an end.
Show me true intentions,
stop playing a friend.
You're plastic.
You're silicone.
You're false.
Deceitful
to the bone.

Still, even though
you're lying to us
I know
you're climbing a ladder,
and still deserve love.
Go find it
elsewhere.
Never trust face value.

Why do I drink?
Is there somthing wrong?
Obviously, its not why you'd think.
Im just living every sad song.
Every loneliness.
Every misjudgment.
Every heartbreak.
Every last moment.
Every fake friend.
Every false love.
Every attempt.
I just pretend,
till the day's done.
Its to fill the empty place in my chest.
To let my guard down,
so I can feel again.
So I can shed tears,
and get seratonin.
See, the bottle is my only true  
  companion,
that sticks by my side when I've been
abandoned.

When I decease,
if I ascend to heaven ,
what is the point?
If I return to this plane
as human or worm
what is the point?
If I simply cease
to perceive, to exist,
and become one
with all matter.
Why does life matter?
I know theres no true answers out there for me.

These days,
I'm drowning
but I won't die.
I'm bleeding
from wounds I don't see.
I'm in pain
but I can't cry.
I'm screaming
but no one hears me.
