Lying to me like it's nothing
But I know who you are

I see through your lies
No more deception

You're nothing more than Walmart bag memez

Older

We grew up on the same street,
We blew dandelions into the sky.
We chucked shells into the blue sea,
Wondering what it would be like.

To grow older.

I came back to the same street,
It's not the same without you.
I can still hear the sound of your feet,
I can hear mine too.

Wish we didn't have to grow older.

I don't get how some mothers can say, "I don't care what the gender is as long as it's healthy, I will love them." Before going into labor for 8+ hours and then 17 years later kick their daughter Jessica out of the house because she was born a Justin.
STOP BEING HOMOPHOBIC *******. THEY CAN'T HELP WHO OR WHAT THEY ARE.
point out the mess
but don't offer to help
just what i'd expect
only concerned with yourself

can't even see
how you led to this tragedy
abandoned me
to blame for this savagery

see
i killed a dream tonight
try to tell myself it will be alright
saying this is how it had to be
convincing nobody

killed it with my bare hands
telling myself that it would understand
justifying what i had to do
knowing it was supposed to be me and you

your hands are clean
you walk away fine
my hearts a crime scene
bound to flatline

can't even see
how you led to this tragedy
abandoned me
to blame for this savagery

cause
i killed a dream tonight
tried to tell myself it would be alright
saying this is how it had to be
convincing nobody

killed it with my bare hands
telling myself that it would understand
justifying what i had to do
knowing it was supposed to be me and you

You say you love me
But cut me to pieces with a heart-shaped cookie cutter
You say you treasure me
But throw me away like a half-dwindled candle, melted like butter
You say you'll never leave me
But push me aside like the old typewriter on your desk
You say you want to give me everything
But take all the love from my heart and I have nothing left
You say you trust me
But when I try to unlock your heart all you give me is a rusty key
Darling, you say you love me
But you only say and never be
I wrote a poem inspired by the words heart-shaped cookie cutter, half-dwindled candle, and a rusty key. Hope you like it!
as i let my heart break for the thousandth time
drying tears before they can leave my eyes
the most horrible thought entered my mind
why did it take me this long to realize

i
forgot
your
birthday

there's constant reminders that you're gone
and now missing you feels wrong
how can i deserve to feel like this when
i forgot your birthday

i had to ask and i was ashamed
i should've known and i wish i could make
some excuse to make this better but
i simply forgot your birthday

and i am told that i shouldn't be so hard
on myself but i'm sick to my heart
and hate myself for
forgetting your birthday

and now i realize
even now that i was told
i already forgot your birthday
again

i don't deserve to miss you

We couldn't be,
because she knew
I loved her.

I wish I knew why
that was wrong.

I can't be with you
because
I know you love me.

I remember her
face when I shut the door.

The way she bit her tongue
and called her mother
to drive me home.

They dropped me off in the rain,
when the pain
was just setting in.

I don't think I've ever been the same
since.

She knew
I loved her,
and yet she still
let me in.

She ****** on my heart
She played pretend.

"I can't be with you because I know you're in love with me."

She's a ghost to me now,
and that's why it still hurts.

I didn't do anything to her.

I just loved her,
and that's what I told her
the last time we spoke.

I wish this were a joke but.

It still hurts.

H if you're out there.

Please.

Give me the time
to at least,

Say

Something.

Crush

"Why is it called a crush?"

Because that's how you feel when
They don't feel the same way in return.
