We are all black roses
The only thing is
Some of us were born that way
And some were burnt.

You lay here beside me, I'm warm in your embrace.
We talk of our future and discuss poetry.
You look into my eyes and declare your love for me.
You kiss me softly, and then I wake up. Alone.

I am the photo my visions take.

loneliness, meet maker.

I'm afraid of the future, I'm afraid of the past.
I'm afraid that you don't think of me, I'm afraid that I'm on your mind.
I'm afraid that you like her, I'm afraid that you love me.
I'm afraid to be alone, I'm afraid of crowds.
I'm afraid to be happy, I'm afraid to be sad.
I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid of me.

This is what i deal with, all of my anxiety.

I lay here in the dark of night
Misty fog around my eyes
How could you **** me?
Crush my soul
You evil devil
I’ll let you know,
I see you on the streets,
and on the train.
In strangers’ faces,
I see the pain
Your footprints show
throughout my life
They follow me
into the dark of night

I'm right here
Waiting stupidly for you
What if I'm not waiting for anything?
My heart can't handle that
Why
Are you
Doing this
To
Me

I've seen death in the neon electricity that
warms the hearts of the generation following my own.

Watching them pocket it away with crushes
and heartbreaks, holding it closer than necessity.

These words I write glow in the neon lights
that are very much hypocrisy and the end of me.

Everything is glowing like
Xmas, but there are no
Presents, there is only the
Looming cloud of death, hanging
Over us all, casting a gruesome
Shadow that no one can escape.
It reaches out a single hand, resting its fingers
On the earth. Suddenly,
N**othing exists anymore.
