They say home is where the heart is
well what happens when your home is under massive destruction?
I didn't understand why it went under construction
until I looked into your hazel eyes and saw corruption
and realized my home was in disruption
because you couldn't resist a broken home seduction.
True loneliness is
Wishing for a time when you were
Surrounded by that toxic person
Because then at least
You'd have someone else telling you
How useless, unloved,
replaceable you are
Besides yourself.

why is it that
i can only find inspiration on the cloudiest days?
what about the days where i'm too busy to think?
what about days where i don't get a moment alone?
what about days where i'm immersed in my art?
what about days where i have it all figured out?
what about days where there's so much light i can't even comprehend darkness?
i neglect my brightest days,
only to be inspired by sorrow and stagnation.

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

Black and blue until I can't move
The very hands that protected me are looking brand new
Crashing into me with no destination
I look up with hesitation
Every inch of me hurts
And I know it could be worse
I know I was out of line
But I thought I would've been fine
Gasping for air
Then you pull my hair
Praying to God this ends
But he never sends
Evil fills your eyes
Can't help but feel high
Please let me go
I fall to my knees
I'm not strong enough to leave
Black and blue fills the room
Does this mean im doomed
Black and blue until I can't move
God save me this once, I'm begging you.
