death

I’m writing this for everyone who’s lost someone

someone who they’ve kept very close once

someone who’s once been your best friend

someone who loved everyone but never felt loved back

someone who succeeded in trying to end it all

someone who ended up loosing themselves

someone who’s lost a someone

I’m writing this for you
I’m writing this for me
because I don’t want this anymore

I don’t want anymore
deaths.

the smell of smoke
reminds me of you
our connection I thought we had

the smell of smoke
reminds me of you
totally black, in leather too

the smell of smoke
reminds me of you
your hidden smile, showing only when you’re glad

the smell of smoke
reminds me of you
how you’re always living but never alive

the smell of smoke
reminds me of you
the cigarette in one hand
and the vanilla in the other

the smell of smoke
reminds me of
you.
the only two flames that could never be apart

I’ve been quiet for a while now
nobody heard me
couldn’t hear myself for a while either
I still can’t
but something is wrong
this silence
this quietness inside of me
it’s starting to become warm
and cozy
I feel good
not scared
not out of breath
not worried that I soon might forget how to even talk
I enjoy it
and soon enough you’ll do the same
but only to me
you’ll be silence when I have something to say
you’ll be able to hear
but not reply
and it’ll be my fault
since I’ve been quiet for a while now
.
quiet, empty, sad? call it whatever but never stay in forever

i suggest we shall remain like that

i feel too far away from today
