There is too much regret
In unspoken words
The quiet thoughts
Whispered only to the moon

There is too much longing
In wishful thinking
Daydreams
Can quickly become a nightmare

There are too many tears
Spilled onto pillows
Over suffering and longing
From words unsaid

I starve my body in hopes
it'll nourish my mind
I toy with the idea
that I could feel any emptier as I skip meals
and stick a toothbrush down my throat

When I sit in front of the toilet
I wonder
If I was so small
I disappeared
How long would you mourn me for?
March 29, 2018
Mornings are hard
When all I could think about is you
I would spend all day just to put myself together
Just to fall a part again at night
I just can't seem to break the tether
How do I let go when you're already embedded in my head
I can't even listen to my name
Cause the only voice I could hear saying it is you
Talking to you every day was more than a routine
Now that you're gone, I really have no clue on what to do
All I could do now is hope that you'll come through
To say I'm missing you is an understatement
I miss every piece of you
Your eyes, nose, and lips,
I miss the sound of your voice,
to the breaths that you take in between
I miss the effect you had on me
You became the drug that I need
I can't get rid of your nicotine
I hope to wake up to a morning
Where I could just think of nothing
And start the day fresh, oh God this is crushing
I guess for now, I get to indulge
waking up to days reminiscing you
Don't let them in
And let them know your sin
They'll just come and take everything
Leaving you with nothing but an empty skin

Don't let them in
And let them say that you're okay
Making you feel like you need them
And expect them to stay

Don't let them in
Its all just a trick
They just wanna take a look inside
Even just a peek

Don't let them in
Keep everything to yourself
Never pour out your soul again
Keep your emotions on a shelf

Don't let them in
Its better this way
Maybe when you're gone
They won't even remember you on your birthday
Sad
You came crashing like a wave
Now I am caught in the middle
I don't know if I should be glad
Because these feelings could be fatal
It gives me wonder at the start
Sooner or later it will be hard
Whenever I feel that we are apart
I would have this ache in my heart
Then my mind would be so negative
I would always think that you'll leave
Like a wave you'd pull me to the sea
Because it could happen in seconds
And if I'm not careful I'd be dragged in
Into the depths of my own depression
Sometimes not all the time
There are times
When all I could write about was you
But it would never explain
Why we were through

The thoughts of it
Kept me awake late at night
Did I make a mistake?
I could never get things right

I'd try to move on
Renewing myself with art
But just like a movie
You were the best part

I hope one day
I would write about someone new
Until the time comes
Here is another one for you
