Roses are red, the classic cliche you’ve heard so many times. But sometimes it’s nice to hear. When everything's out of order, at least something stays the same. Roses are red no matter what, they will never change for you or someone else. Sure, there's some different colored roses, but those are fake. They’re not the original, loveable red roses. Violets are blue, the one that I hate. Violet is meant to be a purplish color, not blue. That line doesn’t make sense. That represents the thing that’s always wrong in my life. Weather it’s fighting for a girl, fighting these thoughts that don’t shut up, or just the demons in general. Something's always wrong, and it's my job to fix it. Not anyone else’s, mine. I’ll fix this world, with my red, perfect roses and my blue, not so blue, not so right, violets. Roses are red, violets are blue. A cliche that represents my life perfectly.

What’s the deal with this whole romance thing? Does anyone get it? Is any of it true? I don’t know who my soulmate is, but I hope they’re taking care of my heart, because I’ll want it back soon. Please don’t break me. I’m fragile. I can’t be hurt anymore. Not after what I’ve been through to get to you. All these love poems and love songs. All these nights sitting up in my bed thinking about what my kids will look like and who my wife will be. I hope I know you now, so I won’t have to get used to you later. I hope you make cute babies, because I need to make mom and dad proud. I’m drowning in my fear of dying alone. But I don’t need to, because I’ve got you babe. Wherever you are. Whether you sit at my lunch table, or if you barely know me. I know I have you.

i let myself drown

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?

We all are broken one way or another
We sat in pain and no one noticed
We lied to our parents and everyone around us
We said were okay
Even tho were broken

You lied?
I cried.
You Flirt?
I hurt.
You wanted?
I needed.
You forgot?
I remembered.
You promised?
I kept it.
You stopped?
I started.
You were done?
I was trying.
You love me?
Stop lying.

An apology to myself

Oh god, why did I listen
And why did I stay
Why did I just let her control me
Use me
All for her to just stab me in the back
And I just let it happen
Even though I saw what was happening

In a way, it was all my fault
I’m hurt because of me
I gave too much trust
I gave too much love
And it ended in hell for me
I’ll never get my pride back

Dear myself
Please forgive me
For I was not thinking
I let you get hurt
And now we suffer daily for it
One day
I hope you can forgive me
For everything I did to you

I keep my schedule free
My contact list empty
And my wrists stained red
Just so when death comes to visit me
She makes sure I'm found dead
Just a random poem that came to me...
