It mostly feels like a sickness to always want what she can't have,
To always want what's not hers.
This emptiness that fills her,
Begs that she suffers for the cause of another.
She can't seem to differentiate between the emptiness and the light, within her
It grips and shakes her.
There's so much anger and sadness that they mix and the outcome is a shade she's unsure of
All she can muster to think about is him and what he's up to and what he's thinking of or who.
Why does the void in her chest beat for others but, not herself?
Is she so hard to love, that even She can't do it?
It hurts so much
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts
To breathe and to be
To just live
To want to live
To want to live for herself
To want to live for someone else
To want
It hurts so much it's unbearable and at some point she's going to want to give up but She knows hope is going to creep onto her and beg her to stay.
Hope always holds her on a leash and all She wants, is to cut it and make a run for the exit.
She doesn't have it in her,
To allow the darkness to eat her whole...
At least not for now.
A lot going through my mind and this was the outcome

My steel toes worn
Shirt is torn
Pants covered with dirt
My body always hurt
Migraine keeps pounding
Bosses always hounding
Never enough time
Trudging through grime
People talking ****
So full of it
The heat is draining
All I hear is complaining
By these lazy *** fools
Promises to keep my cool
My integrity in question
Did I forget to mention
I have fun at what I do
How about you

A bright blue sky washes over me and I forget,
Whatever pain I felt is only temporary.
It clings onto me for most of my night and remembers to punish me for everything I ever did right, for the wrong people.
My heart beats, races and I think finally, this is the day I leave earth and soar through the stars.
Maybe he could wish on me and realize I'm nothing, but dead.
Waking up in a tangled mess of hands and bed sheets, I'm reminded that my heart still feels alone and that no one can hold me as I break, piece by piece.
Self love is beautiful, but why does my want for someone to share it with, have to be so difficult?
Sometimes my love feels more like a burden than a blessing.
I have so much that my heart may burst out of its ***** and leave my body limp and blue.
A bright blue sky washed over me and I can't help but feel like the dark night has resided in me.
It has made a home within me and it refuses to leave because finally, It has something to cling on to that resembles comfort.
My chest is heavy and the bright blue sky dissolves into my worst nightmares.
I no longer feel the darkness, just blue.
This sadness drags me onto my feet, pretends to be me, and continues to address the darkness within me, as if a long-term partner.
Happiness is no longer festering within me.
I feel so much blue that my eyes beg for recognition.
No longer a soul projecting happiness, just one that pretends, hoping that someday, she gets what she deserves.
I woke up feeling so alone and this is what the darkness had to say.

Dear Self,
It's a lot lonelier at night.
It's a nightmare ready to unfold and I'm gripping my bed sheets hoping I don't wake up in yet another cold sweat.
The void in my chest seems to grow as I look for something that makes sense.
The words used to hold me as I wept and now,
They stand at arms length and allow me to hold myself.
They watch as the tears fall across my cheeks and they question how much sadness can a person hold.
How much sadness until all you feel is nothing, but hollowness.
Hollowness that resembles a field of grass burned to ash.

I wanted him to hold me as I cried an ocean and wept a sea.
I wanted so desperately to feel something other than this loneliness clutching and clawing at my chest but,
I lost it.
I lost the voice within me that made sense and the one that didn't and now I am all alone in this godforsaken darkness that continues to stab at me with all the memories I can't seem to shake off.
Am I as much of a burden to you, as I am to myself?
I wanted him to tell me everything was Okay. I wanted that so badly,
but he's not mine.
You're not mine, either.
The words are all I have and I can't seem to translate them into anything other than heartbreak.
I'm unsure as to how I could possibly trust, when all the pieces I handed you were left on the ground, neglected.
I wanted him to hold me, because he seemed like the type of safety that I looked for.
He looked like safety and everything that could possibly pull me out of my own sadness.
I hope he's nothing like you.
He's a breath of fresh air in this polluted, corrupt world.
He's so much more than all I am.
I think if he ever let me near him, I'd graze his skin with whatever poison resides in me.
I lost it all, even myself, I hope I don't lose him.
I kind of feel alone at the moment and the words are my only company.
