I left it there
saint 4d
It's still there...

My love took a beating in that corner of your room
And when I got up I left it there.

We’re not functional when you’re unhappy
It goes unnoticed when I am.
I sat there fighting for our bond,
tried showing you I’d fight for our love.

I opened up my chest and looked away as the creature that hugs my heart to protect it in a form of self sacrifice let go and made himself seen.
Too bright for me.
Stood tall, proud, showing his aura, his beam.
But when I looked back down he was on his knees
Begging for your presence.
What I thought was a bright flame turned into self immolation.

Dead inside and emotionally drained
I’ve let go if it’s all the same.

My love took a beating in that corner of your room and the distance between us felt like the other side of the world.
I left him there. On the ground shriveled and burned.
Nothing and everything feels the same, I’m drained.

In the end, don’t come to me looking for change.
Walk into your room and somewhere in that corner
You’ll find what you’re looking for mangled and deranged.

I’m still innocent
saint Nov 2019
And like poorly spent money
My innocence was stripped of me.
While Eve was made from Adams’ rib,
I was made as my mothers kid.
The worlds intensity flew off my simmering lid.
And condensation turned impossible to rid.
Innocence turned into inner sense,
But what are morals if your foundation makes no ******* sense.
Confused and easily irritable,
I lost the part of my heart that was spiritual.
So,
Please if you can, slow down time
And let me really process my life.
In a world thats constantly spinning,
I have no time to breath-
It’s like god is discreetly hinting;
I’ll never catch this joy,
It’s always completely fleeting.

My fingertips are lost of blood,
My heart is constantly numb,
My body naturally throbs,
My eyes see no love.

And don’t you dare ask why because thats just the cost.
And if I can’t afford this life, then God take this pen and write me off as a lost cause.

I’m not ******* innocent.

Grave for a Tree
saint Aug 2019
It’s that time of the year again-
I feel lost.
With hesitation on my wrists my lips begin to defrost.
July 4th.
The anniversary of when you left me.
Three years later and I still miss you dearly.
Took me too long to realize I was never your love-
It was just my turn.


And just like digging a grave for my favorite tree,
It might’ve been useless but i needed it.

Smoking Chills
saint Aug 2019
I open my sliding door and leave my inhibitions scattered on my bedroom floor.
Up the flight of stairs, I take a seat on the edge of the roof facing the city.

It’s cold.

And if it wasn’t for this cigarette I’d be inside staring at my phone.
I count the lights on six six west bellevue place,
A building I loved but never been in.
I like smoking in the cold because I can never tell whats my breath and which is the smoke.
I look up at the deep blue sky and count stars of crystal white.
I tap my cigarette over the edge of the roof and watch as the flakes of ash meet its snowy doom.
I can hear the people below,
And the loud music coming from my room.
I see clouds of smoke,
And try to make a tune out of the car honks.
I pinch the cherry of my cigarette and hear it sizzle in the snow.

I take a look at my favorite building, smell the burning firewood, and feel the cold seek refuge in the warmth of my body before tossing this left over tobacco in an empty bottle of red wine, i call an ashtray.

Back in the warmth of my room,
In bed and curled,

I think about how if it wasn’t for that cigarette,

i wouldn’t see the world.

Love, Saltwater, and Mud
saint Mar 2019
at the edge of a roaring ocean, i paint a crimson sky.
seduced by love and affection,
i meld my broken heart with white washed tides.
and no matter what, i don't blame the sea for all that it did to me.
i'm just a soul going through life
only to realize that all i want is buried deep underneath.
yet i might drown to get what i need,
but on the off chance that i resurface,
i'll dig my way through the mud beneath.
i'll go through life with dirt under my fingernails just to feel some sort of purity inside.
and although crimson may paint a beautiful sunset,
i need red to fuel my blood.
until then,
i'll mix the white waters that wash up-

"and kneeling at the edge of the transparent sea, i shall shape from myself a new heart from salt and mud".
"and kneeling at the edge of the transparent sea, i shall shape from myself a new heart from salt and mud".

Ça va
saint Feb 2019
I dream of Paris
I dream of France
I dream of white wine gripped by your soft hands
The view behind you is breathtaking
But not enough to distract me
Buildings of stone catch my eye
Maybe thats why your heart ran me dry
But I’m not one to complain
Especially about you
Et je suis adonné à tu
Ça va
Ça va
Seulement
Avec toi

s(y)in & yang
saint Feb 2019
i fell asleep on your lips once again
the taste of pomegranate and champagne
yet morning mimosas couldn't water down the pain
from sunrise
to sunset
your body wrapped around me
and i'm still waiting to feel alive
sin and yang
crooked charcoal paintings on pearl white walls hang
a mix of blue and violet
i sat in darkness hearing the teardrops fall
asleep in my arms
but your warmth wasn't enough to reach my freezing heart
mistake dropped down my lips
you wiped my sins with your soft fingertips

the thing is,
my past is an eclipse
and constantly looking back
gave me scars on my sterling skin
and made me blind
to nights of sin

bruised tears
saint Dec 2018
you're gonna leave when the rain stops.
when my lonely world is joined by you the pain stops.
and i hope you don’t feel pressured but please stay.
because once the clouds pass and the trees cease to sway,
the memories come-
the memories remain.
it’s not your responsibility i know that,
but when it comes to implementing change my minds blank.
my heart ends up getting thrown around-
a free for all.
and i cant seem to focus without you-
my adderall.
and each day that passes,
my tolerance grows faster,
the world gets louder,
my brain feels crowded,
and my heart beats faster.
so calm me down with a kiss or two.
nothing about me wants to feel this kind of blue.
maybe my neck, get that a darker shade of hue.
so hold me close, i’ll hold you too.
and in this cold weather,
i somehow feel less tethered
to the world outside theres somehow less pressure.
but the raindrops stop tapping on my window
and you’re gone before i get a chance to whisper

“don’t go”.

shivering on top of this roof,
burnt cigarettes in the shingles of the accused.
and in this cold weather,
my jacket and your words shared one thing;
a lack of proof.
immersed in thought,
i retract my youth.
and thinking back to my childhood,
memories blue.
thinking not how a child should,
no one had a clue.
it's no ones fault and i know i shouldn't blame you,
that's not what stuck, it's what i prayed to.
the sound of my stomach has become louder than my thoughts,
and i know i should stop writing but you took my ******* heart.

selfish you are.
selfish you are.
selfish you are.

i never felt like this before
and a broken hearts the closest thing i’ve felt since loves galore
hours of music i heard the words you sang to me
hours of havoc i yelled the words you threw at me
and i never knew what to believe
words lost their meaning when i repeated
but somehow your name just kept its meaning
and ive been talking to god looking for a reason
but thats why he hasn’t written a book since the seventh season
and i’ve been wanting to grieve since
two years ago on early july the fifth
but i’ve been holding it in
blasting music on my drive home
i drowned you out
driving too fast
i crashed the route
took a deep breath of liquid death
swallowed my pride and drove the side
blue lights couldn’t stop me from driving fast
and as long as i can still hear your voice my foot remained heavy on the gas
but i hit traffic
and just like the red lights stopped the cars behind me
i came to a stop

stuck in traffic on 101
it took 2 hours of silence to realize you’re the one i want

heartbroken and tired,
my short breaths can start a fire.
smoke and ash,
i brush it all away but the dust settles and stays.
allergies arise, two in a row i sneeze and you cry.
hold me close, i pray you don’t let go.
love me so, i pray you don’t yet know.
wait and grow, we fell apart well before the snow.
winter comes and degrees fall below.
dark skies i fill my head with dark lies.
a temporary safe haven,
i throw up words till it all caves in.
colored bruise on pale skin-
bluesh hues from hellish sins.
i pray for forgiveness, i pray for gin.

to leave me
alone

you left but your ghost still haunts me.

but i’m so tired
and lost of love to gain

**** my spirit
and harvest my feelings-

relinquish my presence
by praying for me-

severed hands can’t fold for god.
prideful knees
and egotistical thoughts.

**** my liver
and harvest my kidneys-

smoke out my lungs
and burn my heart-

my body is worthless
my spirit weighs more than god.

in this city of wonder i feel lost and with somber
feelings of home i ran away from the load
on my back i held on to the feelings i lack
the strength to commit to this life i’m attached
the raindrops on my scalp represent the tears of relapse

so baby wont you hold and don’t dare you let go
i want to behold the love in my core

this blood from my nose and the white i endorse
the liquor i pour turned to pain that adores
the broken organs that play a tune deep inside of me
i beg you to stay but you don’t think of this world
i want you to leave but you don’t walk out this door
the paper that burns in my lips should be yours
i want you to stay so baby don’t you go
i’m yelling to the stars, i’m screaming at the sky
if my tears were blood red i’d bleed out and die
but baby don’t you go and don’t you dare lie
to my face i’m scarred from the light
of your eyes that shine so bright in the night

so baby wont you hold and don’t dare you let go
i want to behold the love in my core

in this city of wonder i feel lost and with somber
feelings of home i ran away from the load
on my back i held on to the feelings i lack
the strength to commit to this life i’m attached
the raindrops on my scalp represent the tears of relapse

i want to behold the love in my core
so baby wont you hold and don’t dare you let go
i want to behold the love in my core

i don’t blame you much,
and it was no surprise that you didn’t mourn my love.
and to the soul of my heart i’m sorry.
my hearts all bruised
plus,
my minds gone loose.
a cannon bore fruit
and my limbs gone blue.
i sold my love for golden roots.
the handcuffs turned too tight but my dead body didn’t seem to mind.
tongue like broken glass my bloods in shambles.
and to the soul of my heart i wish i was stable.
and to the love of my life i wish you’d stay but
it’s too late.
****** wrists
i died flooding lips.

handcuffed in the back of this car- i died in toronto

on opposite sides of the world we loved each other like there was no space.
you came to me and i ran to you like we had no time to waste.

above the water we soaked in the sun and held hands by the grass.
holding onto the bridge i lost my balance.
to let go would lead me falling to the stars.
and when it came to leaving we were both terrified of what would come.
loneliness and fear of losing us.
but on opposite sides of the world we loved each other like there was no space.

i sent you a lock with my name and you sent me one with yours.
leaving my signature on yours and your letters on mine we locked each others on the bridge above the water.
you weren’t there but i soaked in the sun and held onto the bridge to keep my balance.
never could we drift away because we had locked the world together.

on opposite sides of the world we loved each other like there was no space.
as long as the bridges were tied down then so were we.

-

my lock held strong throughout the years- through earthquakes and rain.
and yours got unlocked the moment you met him.

i know where the keys are but i’m keeping my lock.

gardens of fruit- i bite my lips thinking of you.
snow on my thoughts,
my fingertips are blue to reflect on my mood.
i miss you more and i miss you too.
i lose my head sometimes
so i
hold my hands together and pray i'm heaven.
gardens of fruit- i plant gardens in you.
rain on my thoughts,
my fingertips are **** from the fire burning in you.
-
god knows you broke my heart,
so you're going to hell.
getting mended in heaven but you're not there.
so i lie to god
and get sent straight to your care.

i thought of you again.
writing these words i can barely concentrate,
because your smile appeared in my head
and closing my eyes doesn’t seem to help.
our love was a candle,
a flame too weak to handle
the wind of the world.
im cold and stranded.
i used up all my love on you.
so when i pop up in your brain,
just know i can’t even stand you.
and my heart isn’t the only thing thats hollow.
these pill bottles are filled with sorrow.
empty promises and love notes.
but somehow,
none of these drugs
will ever explain why my heart hurts.

tripping over the uneven tile
i drank till i forgot your name
then drank till i remembered it again
i drank till i felt the rain
your words pouring down on me
i took the blame
you took my heart and i took the shame
call me stupid
call me crazy
call me lame
i hope you’re happy so call me later
call me *****
call me rotten
i hope you’re happy so call me moved on
in the ***** bathroom bar i fell to my knees
i feel the poison in my system
though my drinks aren’t the victim
pump out my stomach and destroy my kidneys
burn my lungs and inject black tar in my blood
a blackened heart with creases im tipsy
two more drinks and im back in that bathroom
i scratch out your name and do a line of *******
numb but not enough
numb but destructive
*** and seduction
love and affection
rejection and injection are synonyms to my reflection

-

in the ***** bathroom bar i scratched your name on the mirror
barely alive and you’re my killer

“what’s your poison?”
paranoia
roses
and your name.

when it rains it pours
and it's pouring.

when it rains it pours
and it's pouring.

when it rains it pours
and it's pouring.

when it rains it pours
and i'm drowning.

i take my hands off this steering wheel
and let the winds control my drive.
i hope i crash into this pole-
but my car breaks down before i get a chance to.
i don't know why death is taking so long.
i think she's stuck in traffic.
the holy trinity has forgotten about me;
god, life, and death don't want me.
and the devil keeps whispering in my ears.

i wonder if i'll ever stop talking to myself.
i love you

YOU LEFT ME BECAUSE OF THE CIGARETTES I SMOKE,
NOW MY LUNGS ARE BURNING MORE THAN EVER.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH IT HURTS.

I SAW OUR FUTURE SO CLEARLY

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE ONE WITHOUT YOU.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND IT HURTS.

I KEEP REMEMBERING OUR NIGHT TOGETHER-
WE STAYED OUT TILL THE SUN CAME UP.

BEFORE YOU I WOULD GO TO SLEEP HOPING IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME I CLOSE MY EYES-

YOU GAVE MY HOPE.

I LOVED THE SUN AND I LOVED THE MOON.
I LOVED THE STARS AND I LOVED YOU.

GOD KNOWS I WISH I STILL HAD YOU.

MY HEART ACHES AND I CAN’T BREATHE.
I’VE CRIED LAKES AND I STILL HAVE RIVERS TO FILL.

IF MY TEARS WERE RED,

YOU’D SEE HOW MUCH I BLEED FOR YOU.
IF MY VEINS WERE BLUE,

I’D SLIT OCEANS FOR YOU.

I’M SO TIRED AND SO NUMB.

MY WORLD IS SO QUIET.

AND IT HURTS TO KNOW YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHERE I’M COMING FROM.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND MY PAIN RUNS DEEP INSIDE OF ME.

CUT ME OPEN AND LET ME BLEED.

I’M SO SICK OF THE PAIN AND SO SICK OF THE RAIN.
I’M JUST AS CLOSE TO RUNNING AWAY
AS I WAS TO YOU.

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO COPE BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOSE YOU.

I’D GIVE ANYTHING TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES ONCE MORE-

TO FEEL YOUR HANDS AND SEE YOUR SMILE.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE-

I’D TEAR OCEANS APART AND SPIT AT THE SUN.

I’D SHINE LIGHT AT STARS AND BREAK MOUNTAINS TO CRUMBS.

JUST TO SEE THE SMILE THAT TURNED MY HEART INTO AN ORCHESTRA OF DRUMS.

I’M FALLING APART AND ROTTING AWAY.
MY GOOSEBUMPS ARE STARTING TO ACHE.
MY EYES ARE TOO TIRED TO WAKE
.
MY LUNGS ARE TOO BURNT TO TAKE
ANY MORE OF THIS PAIN-


AND MY HEART WILL FOREVER BE YOURS TO BREAK.

confrontation
saint Oct 2016
i always wondered what it is you’d say to me after
all these years,
what kind of
explanation you’d give me after all these
tears.
we both knew when we met we’d inevitably go our separate ways,
but never like this-

and now,
you’re sat in front of me still as an idol.
who knew
one day you’d be my rival.
I once saw love and serenity when I stared into your eyes,
and now,
i see all the hate and chaos that overflowed your ugly lies.
i should’ve known better, and now your words are what have the noose around my neck tied-

i should’ve known better.
if I could un-write every word I’d ever had my ink laid, I’d do it.
just to take back every letter.
you used to make my heart flutter.
my thoughts slurred, and my speech stutter.
but now I’d rather choke on my words and make you watch me shudder.
face the face you destroyed,
Listen to the heart that beats no more,
and stare at the ears that hear no love.
you broke a human that was as strong as steel.
i want you to,
view the life you’ve been hiding from.
listen to the cries of the inner child you handed ***.

you broke a human that was as strong as steel,

and now

one thing he’ll never do again,

is feel.

3 minutes away from midnight,
In bed with the same clothes as yesterday.
You wore me out.

But your presence stayed the night.
And you wouldn't leave when I kicked you out.
To be fair I didn't fight that hard.
And to be haste you broke my heart.
I blame you for the drama that you start.
I blame you for the love you tore apart.
And I feared for the words your lips would depart.

                                                               ­                                   The city grew quiet.
                                                                ­                           The streets were empty.
                                                                ­     The skyscrapers felt taller than ever.

And I'd had killed if I knew you would never resent me.
But your shadow laid in bed with me that night.
It told me all your secrets and held me tight.
I tried to let go but my arms put up a fight.
And now you come back every single night.
I blame myself for the advantage you took.
I haven't seen you in three years but we never spent a night apart.
11:57
3 minutes away from midnight,
In bed with the same clothes as yesterday.
You wore me out.
You left three years ago.

But I'll see you tonight.

I want to crack every bone in my body, and turn my screams into twigs under your feet.
I feel my lungs breaking,
And my heart aching.
I need a sense of purpose.
Something to tell me that its all worth it.

Ascend me to the heavens
And let my soul vanish.
Tell god about my flaws,
I don't care if its tarnished.
Hollow out my thoughts,
Allow my eyes to become blackened.

I don't doubt your love,
But your resemblance is uncanny.
To the sadness in my veins
And the bleak future that I carry.
The bruises on my shoulders have been too much to take,
But the numbness never ceases to await.
Allow me to fall apart.
Take my life and give it to another worth the breath.
Destroy my view of the world,
And don't accept another like it.
My last words will be, 'I didn't fight it'.

Ascend me to the heavens
And let my soul vanish.
Tell god about my flaws,
I don't care if its tarnished.
Hollow out my thoughts,
Allow my eyes to become

darkened.

Shade
saint Jan 2016
The sun can be too intense at times.
That's why under the palm trees, I lie.
I close my eyes to feel the wind travel between my thighs.
My heart sways ferociously faster than the tide.
And I'm always sadened by the sky.
Everytime I lift my head up I see teal.
Realized too late that it would affect how I feel.
Thats why, under the palm trees, I lie.
Place the leaves on top of my face,
I mask my expressions with haste.
I slow down the world to compensate for my heart in race.
And somehow my two hands aren't enough to lace.
Sunshine leaks through the leaves I placed.
It seems like I'm uncomfortable in every living space.
Because everythings beating at once,
My head throbs and my heart overdramatically makes a fuss.
Life hasn't handed me anything but limes,
My pockets are filled with nothing but dimes,
And as the wilting leaves fall to their death,
I cling harder to the soft grass.
I wipe the leaves off my face and lift my head up at last.
I look up in teal and notice that
The sun can be too intense at times.

Which is why under the palm trees, I lie.

At Last
saint Jan 2016
I knelt to God, but prayed for him.
The seas had rose, I ran to swim.
Held my breath, went diving in.
The world of black, i felt my sins.
Fill my lungs, I just gave in.
My world it stopped, came crashing in,
Closed my eyes,  I gave a grin.
Free at last, I'm free at last.

*Free at last, I’m free at last.
saint Aug 2015
I woke up again today.
I didn't want to.
You know why, but I'll remind you.
Remember when we snuck out at two?
You were hungry and I just wanted to see you.
You were hard to get but I got you.
I snuck out every night since then.
Climbed through your window and into your bed.
We just laid there and held hands just like you said.
Told me on the phone two months earlier,
"I just want to lay with someone and hold their hand,
Study their palms with touch just like my little brother read".
You were lovely really.
I was always nervous around you but I loved when you called me silly.
It feels like just yesterday I handed you your favorite flower.
We were in the park and we didn't talk but honestly that was my favorite hour.
And soon you became my favorite flower.
We blossomed into something more,
Something love couldn't even devour.
I had the whole world in my hands because I held you.
It was beautiful.
Two years later and I still smiled when I saw you.
We were meant for each other because I know you felt the same when you saw me too.
I'm sorry I keep having to remind you,
But every morning I have to.
Because you're not here anymore,
And i miss you.
I don't know what I did to deserve this but I'm asking for forgiveness.
I'm sorry for every wrong I did,
I repent to every sin.

And I'm scared to fix our bed because I feel like you might still come back in.

And I hate how I might wake up again.

My Garden
saint Aug 2015
I planted you in late December, and watered you till February.
I took a seat and watched as you blossomed.
The packet said: 'White Rose seeds', but you came out more.
You grew without hesitation and became my favorite flower in the garden.
You were beautiful and pure,
I was broken and you were the cure.
The sun gave light and you gave a lure.
My garden was wide and luscious,
Filled with food, flowers and bushes.
Compared to you they looked like weeds.
Poisoning my roots and ruining the view.
i hacked, pulled, and killed.
Any plant I saw,
Any flower I felt,
Any bush that took,
The view, feeling, and space of you.
My garden was empty, except for a glistening white rose planted in the corner.
People couldn't see why I did it.
A white rose alone in a massive garden built for more.
But I needed none of that.
My white rose I planted in late December, and watered till February.
You blossomed in my hands and built your roots in my heart.
The most beautiful flower to be connected to this earth.
I'll protect you, for you're the meaning to my birth.
You're with me in my highs and with me in my lows.
With you I will stay to make sure you're the most beautiful wilting rose.

Today in class,
I received a paper;
"With __ I am complete."
Moments on receiving it,
Pencils and pens were heard being slammed on desks,
Minds were churning and spinning,
Thoughts clearing and staining.
Papers were being flipped over for more, while mine,
Stayed empty.
Cleared of words and entries.
Eight minutes passed and my thoughts stayed elementary.
To be complete I need blood,
Pure thoughts that flood,
Love that sprouts,
And preferably a family and a house.
Brothers and sisters,
Family and friends,
For this assignment,
There is no end.
I am complete with lust and fear,
And the pressure of peers.
Negative thoughts,
Portrayed by casting lots.
Joyful memories,
And centuries of energy.
One minute down,
And my paper was still clear of ink.
Pencils and pens were heard being slammed on desks,
Minds were halting and grinning,
Thoughts clearing and staining.
Papers were being turned in, while mine,
Stayed empty.

Afraid To Write
saint Nov 2013
Afraid to write- some real feelings might surface.
Even if you accept it, I might not be able to write back.
With my obscene depression and an emptiness of guilt,
Reassuring you to never putting trust in my hands,
Don’t get me wrong, I want you more than anything.
Thinkin bout you every evenin’.
You slowly forget me with memories every now and then.

I’m slowly forgetting how to write,
Just like every Buddhist nightmare
My temples are caving in.
Fingertips relying on the flow rather than the knowledge,
Once an unknown rock is placed,
All my memories are re faced.
Satans eyes are on me
He’s realizing gods guard is no longer with me,
It’s not worth the lies,
It’s not worth the guilt,
Above the clouds yet my mind is so clear.
With nonsense in my plane and no one to steer.
Cabin shaking is just my memories shivering,
Nightmares to my mother,
I never wanted to see her quivering.
Times are hard but the life is tough.
Fighting through weeds with my two inch sword,
Never wanted to smoke yet I’ve never craved it more.
Someone help me cause I’m never making it through.
A doctor can understand but I need a therapist to get me.
Even though I’d never tell her anything because who is she?
She got secrets, she never speaks.
Although mine are straight from the fires and hers from the smoke.
Realizing you’re looking down on me like white folks.
Never wanted this for my family but its a curse disguised as a blessing,
Something they’ll never understand.
Fighting my demons even though I know they’ll never leave me.
You’ll never see me talk about how I feel without a rhyme at the end,
I’d just be speaking gibberish without a message to send.
I know I’m crazy but ill never admit it,
Never pay for classes,
I don’t want your visits.
Learning to cope with my disabilities
So I’m dealing with you.
Learning to never underestimate your enemies
So I’m measuring you.
I’m slowly forgetting how to write,
Just like every Buddhist nightmare
My temples are caving in.
Fingertips relying on the flow rather than the knowledge,
My demons play well with yours so I guess that’s a bonus.
Relying on myself, no trust is given,
Fighting your myths, truth be tellin’.
I’ll never understand your intention, pray for me in heaven.
I find it hard to summon the world,
With the sickness on my mind and the lifted virtues in my soul.
Thinking my flows quicker than ocean rapids gives you a higher IQ.
And if you’re just saying that to make me smile then I thank you.
Many people in this world underestimate the righteousness of us.
Thinking you’re born evil is dissing the beauty of a child,
Rather than acknowledging and accepting his smile.
The warmth that fills the heart when she says daddy as you walk though the door,
Or the tears that overflow your eyes when he never comes back from the store.
I understand these problems because my dreams consist of your life.
So before you call me a liar,
Understand my trials,
My deep realization,
I’m the only one unlike a choir.
Listen to your heart and to this rap.
They both beat for you.
One keeps you alive and the other makes it worth it.
The beat of a drum and the snare of a set tell you you’re not worthless.
Understand your weaknesses and they will become deep,
Redefine your intelligence and it will become the thing that keeps
You out of harm and boosts your wisdom to become a great man.
Wars greater than the world occur inside your mind when they slowly unfold.
Never really  understanding anything except why you’re sad,
Facing your consequences earns back your title of being a man.
I’m slowly forgetting how to write.
Just like every Buddhist nightmare,
My temples are caving in.
Fingertips relying on the flow rather than the knowledge,
Listen to these flows, you got it

Unwanted
saint Nov 2013
I know I was never there to begin with, but will you still accept me into your heart?
I know its messed up, and everyday I wish I took those seven steps needed to confront.
You're all I ever wanted, but without the permanent affiliation.
I just wanted you to call every now and then,
Tell me that you're okay and you don't need the extra five or ten.
I'm emptying out and keeping the lies on my lips.
Inches away from you, holding tears back from my eyelids.
I wonder what kind of life I'd have lived if I would've tapped your shoulder,
Or what kind of regrets I'd have had if I would've pulled that trigger.
That's all behind me, but I always end up facing the other way.
But who's to say it's the wrong way?
For all I know, this is the world telling me to end my day.
But every time I open my eyes and wake up,
You're still on my mind, but without the make up.
You're scars are showing,
And your tears are flowing.
You're eyes are holding and you'll never understand how much you mean to me, theres no way of knowing!
You cut to conclusions and split the wrist!
I'm crazy just as much and you never ask me why I close my fists.
We're not the same yet we're making the same mistakes.
If I tried to end my life would you hold it onto me?
Tell me it's against my religion and culture and never look at me?
Without feeling ashamed, this life is so young but the time is so old,
And I might be freezing but thats because I'm so cold.
My heart is so overwhelmed and It's basically sold to the man in the black suit and a red tie.
You taught me well,
But the bad habbits are the ones that stay and dwell.
It's not your fault but I'm still blaming you.
I'm a mistake.  
The small skid on the side of the paper.
The piece of dough that fell on the floor, stepped on by it's own cater.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but I'm infested by worms and caterpillars,
And I might like it,
Because I'm independent and someone still wants me.  
Consulting myself because I'm all that I have,
Masking my feelings because my psycologist laughed!
I'm done asking because I'm all that I have,
Don't tell me that you're there for me, just stop lying.
I'm and unwanted ****, and I'm tragically dying.
I'm not a wilting rose, so there's nothing that you can say about me or boast.
Just forget about me, I'm not all that you know.
It's over, so let my memories go.
I don't want you frowning or crying,
This is how I am.

I'm an unwanted ****.
And I'm tragically dying.

— The End —
