i saw a girl who was hurting
he saw a girl who was crazy
you text me to say you're coming over
and
my heart does jumping jacks
it does pull ups on the bones lining my ribcage
my veins become skipping ropes
my heart
races and
races
until

my lungs inflate like giant love sacs
and my heart collapses
resting in your presence
as soon as your fist hits the door.

Who are you?
You're not the same person you were two minutes ago.
I just don't get you.
You're compulsive, and corrupted.
You're easily addicted.
You have friends in your mind,
but in reality friends you'll never find.
You're simple yet, confusing
like a Rubik's cube.
With all your twists and turns.
This pain you put upon me
has left me with cuts and burns.
Will we ever learn?
To get along
and fix these never ending battles?
Your bipolar versus my anger.
Some days, to me you are a stranger.
Who I thought I knew has suddenly disappeared.
Your disease is something I've always feared.
Illness invaded your mind,
and has taken over who you once were
Leaving all your past senses blind.
We loved
Fought  broke
I loved and loved
Until there was no more love to give
And it still wasn't enough for you
You left when I begged you to stay
Handed my heart back
Didn't look back
You seen it in my eyes
The hurt it was written on my face

Sometimes a strong woman
Just needs
To be loved.
I want you to feel loved
All the time
Because I know
What it’s like
To feel unloved
I would never wish
That upon anyone
Especially you
I know all too well what it feels like,
I want to show you as much as I can
This form of love.

By my side please stay.

i apologize
for the burden i’m being
with my worthless presence
and my constant leaving

*c.b.
I just saved a life tonight
But my work is never done
Stay strong for me
You might not know me but i care
Please don't hurt yourself tonight
I want you to win this
