I wonder if you can hear the sound of my heart breaking
With each and every lingering moment that passes between us
Creating an anomaly of congealed insignificance and broken pieces
Pieces of what we used to be when our passion was harder than any metal
I have to wonder if you see who we've created among our tapering bodies
To bear witness to such atrocities held deep within our disturbed souls
To think it does not phase a single cell of your beautiful and vigorous brain
When I say my heart is breaking I mean with every fiber of my being
That the longing aches are gradually moving in with cancerous tendencies
Due to the lack of blissful love and happiness you bathed me in
Perhaps I shall not advance for the benign lies you carefully present
Underlying the very truth that pours from your soft and lush lips
Every liquidated word that snakes down into your veins as chills
Shivering through the marrow of these tired and heavy structural bones
Attacking my nerves and ravaging upon what is left of my being
After the emotional and physical terror you have inflicted upon me
I still run back into your wicked and wanting arms of caress
I still love you.

This tear stained pillow
Means nothing

The heartache and misery
Mean nothing

You build me up
You break me down

You tear our family apart

What is this?
A dream?

NO
This is the reality

I feel nothing inside
My head hurts
My heart breaks
I feel nothing anymore

There was nothing more permanent
Than the sound of the door
Closing behind him
The day he walked out
It wasn't even actual door
That's how dramatic his exit was
That's how devastating a loss it was
I had to make a cartoon of it
So as to not be heartbroken
But the actual end
Well that was kind of romantic
Like something you catch on a Friday
On a wide screen
Rain & tears
Questions ringing
Like what am I suppose to do?
I'm crying
But my ****** composure is perfect
I'm screaming
But he's right in front me
But I still doubt he's hearing me
He can't face the disgrace
Of his actions
That he could leave something once so beautiful
So broken
So here comes that movie made exit..
Exhaustion
Of fighting over the same things
Of laughter met with anger
The discommunication between us..
It was time that someone exited


So he did.
Just because you want it, don't mean you need it.

I can barely sleep
I can barely eat
I can barely stand
in front of you
I can barely say or express
my feelings about this mess
I can barely tell
how much I will be dead
I don't feel it
I don't need it
I don't want go easy on it
I can barely see
how much would you mind
to be my valentine

I wish kisses could leave
scars, and pain
would leave no trace of its
presence behind. I've been
to so many places with strangers
and each time I imagined it was some version of you
with me instead.

Save our own hearts by
entering another. Devouring another.
I'm not sure what love is
but faulty incantations, a changing
forecast in stormy minds.
I'm denying myself again from touching
the truth because

holding someone forever and
into eternity
is difficult to comprehend for
a mind that feels more alone when looking
at the stars,
for someone who feels like an intruder
in the house they grew up
in, and is still searching
underneath doormats for "home".

It would be nice for a breeze to catch
my lungs like a net
and whisk me away from
where I stand
against myself. I'm hoping sooner or later
I'll get lost enough in a warm place
that wholly embraces me in ways
I can't for myself.
in love with love but not quite sure where that puts me. as always, thank you for reading x ivy
