I had decided not to feel for you-
And yet something draws me back.
You're hot and you're cold,
You're loving and you're not.
When i shut you out you ask me
"what is wrong?"

"What is wrong" is the fact that you play with my heart. You reel me in and you discard me without a word, leaving me questioning my every action. I become silent and to that you tell me that I've hurt you.

I try to forget you and yet when you appear infront of me- my walls break down. I try again. I long for your smile. I wonder what your lips feel like. How it would feel to have your arms around my waist. The gentle aggresive grip of your hand forcefully holding mine. I long for your smile, the way it reaches your eyes-hoping that it was only for me.

You write and it echoes what we've been through, but i tell myself that its simply a coincidence- if i asked, you would too. "Who are you to me?" I ask myself to no avail. You're someone who could make or break my world in a few seconds, someone who could imprint his every expression into my head, his every words. You're someone im not sure I should have, and yet  you're someone I want.

You're someone to me.

Its funny how detached you can be,when from the start you tried so hard not to be.

How at the start you thought you had everything. But in the end you realise you're left with nothing.

You notice the subtle ways you've been deluding yourself. Trying to fit in, neglecting what you already had.

Regrets engulf your heart at the very end, you try to turn back time but your pride stands in your way. Pride, pride, selfish sadistic pride.

You realise you're left with nothing. No one. You drop that facade once and for all but you now know its too late. You tell yourself to hang on now, that things will get better. But will it?

Death arises from an unexpected place and you're sorrow filled. You look around for someone to help relive that pain but there's no one there. You sit alone in your room writing this, deluding yourself once again that speaking to yourself will rid of the demons in you that speak of pride and unimaginable 'strength'.

You step aside and then realise.
You're nothing.
Loads been happening recently and im just.. sick of the world. Tired of myself really. 10 years mounted up to nothing anf it hurts. My gramps just passed and everything is just too much and i have no one to talk to which is ironic considering how i spent 10 years trying to find a friend i could confide in. Now i wish i had gotten over my pride and just apologised for all the mistakes i did or didnt do cause it would have been better than now but its too late. Everyone's moved on. And im left here ranting.

My outer thoughts,
Make my inner faults.
All that talk,
Engenders in my heart's halt.
The words are asphalt,
I shouldn't indulge.
For its just temporary,
The deceit of neutrality.
Im stupid.

Ink
I could ink my skin,
with your name.
Engrave all the happiness,
And all the pain.
It'll stay there through everything,
Until we're both lame.
It may fade but it'll be there,
Forever and always,
To show I care.

There's something beautiful about freckles and blemishes and imperfections before I'm made up in the morning. There's something right about naked in the mirror; flaws and scars and age that accumulates with the years. I am a story to be read. I've got skin like a song.
Cleaning out the poems/notes in my phone. Confidence is ****.

She twirls around in her own respite,
Trying to hide her lack of might.
Her missing partner was never there,
She danced alone without a care.

Her movements fluid,
Time stood Lucid.

She started to lose the fight,
But she hung on till the night.
Her movements slowed,
She had nothing left to show.

There stood the lone dancer,
Who crippled at the weight of reality.
She had no mortality-
The haunting lies of ambiguity.
