I am alone again
I knew that this would come
I saw it from afar
A bullet from a gun

Now I'm left here bleeding
No one to save me now
No one to give me stitches
Or wipe sweat from my brow

I am alone again
I feel it in my soul
I feel it in my heart
The loneliness is cold

I feel it in my heartbeat
It pumps within my veins
I want it to get out of me
I just want to be sane

And now I'm left again
With these red stains on my wrists
The bands of pain apparent
A touch of deadly bliss

I am alone again
And no one else can see
That though I am surrounded,
There's no one here with me.
Being alone with one's thoughts can be more dangerous than someone holding a gun to your head, because at least there's someone there to stop them.

I know that I have killed myself a thousand times in my head,
Never fully grasping the concept of leaving.
I do not know when the thoughts started,
I guess they've always been there,
Whispering and taking turns rotting my brain into the landfill of decay and broken thoughts.
No longer the pink fleshy muscle that sat presently in my head.
It had turned to tar,
Black and thick,

Dripping,
Suffocating the light away from the open cracks where creativity once flowed through.
Unfathomable, the thought of dying, ceasing to exist.
What have I become?
Existentialism is hard to grasp

you learned what happiness is
because you learned what love isnt

I remember the way
the alcohol
lubricated our words to each other
and she told me those three
poisonous words:
"I love you"
Except she added
my name to the end
to make sure I knew
how important it was.
"You're the only
person I've said that to,"
She told me that night
as we parted ways

The next day she told
me that it didn't count
and that she was being
dramatic
and I remained in place
amongst those
who function better
as shadows,
withering under her
light,
hoping to hear the
meaningless words
again.

i met you almost a year ago,
when we were just strangers.

i laugh with you almost a year ago,
when we were just friends.

i stayed up all night with you a few months ago,
when we were growing even closer.

i talk non-stop with you a few months ago,
when we were almost lovers.

you stopped talking to me a few days after,
when we were still almost lovers.

you moved on from me a few weeks after,
when we were back to friends.

you found someone else a couple months after,
when we were still friends.

you fell in love with someone else a couple months after,
when we were still friends.

i tried moving on from you a few months after,
when you were with her.

i tried forgetting you a few months after,
when you broke her.

i tried to love you again a few months after,
when you found another.

i moved on from you, almost a year after i met you,
when you are longing to be loved.
for the one who left without a reason, for the one who's still in my mind, for the one that i gave everything up for, for the one i still cerish as a friend ; here's to you.

I don't believe in love
the same way I don't believe in god
how could I put my faith in something I can't hold in the palm of my hand?
maybe that's why I got so tired of my hands always coming up empty when I tried to grasp the idea of love
I still haven't met God
but I imagine your lips and heaven feel pretty similar
and I still don't know if I put my faith in you
whether I should call it love or religion
but I do know that if love is real
it can be molded into the shape of the devil’s smile
and I've yet to learn the difference between your hands and hell
because even burning love leaves behind oozing blisters
and I've yet to find a saving grace to stick around to mend my wounds

Friends we are but more I want

I want to count ever star in your eyes
Hug you longer than forever
Hold your hand through all the tears and fights
Girl you give me butterflies

I want all of you, Yeah the scars too
Becouse I know your soul its pure gold
Your Heart even more valuable than any stone

I  cherish every inch of you even if we get
ugly and old too
The world don't need to know your name
for me to love you this way

There is only one problem you'l never love me the same
because your straight.
But im proud to say I have fallen for my best friend

friend we are and friends we will always stay
But I warn you my love for you will grow everyday
With every breath I take

I see summer skies
hidden behind
your cloudy grey eyes.
I won't let you hide,
not when rainbows
betray your every lie.

You know my friend
I met a man last night
He was alone like me
Had the same cerise eyes
With a shallow heart he smiled
I asked, how you doing man?
Have you found a way yet?
To which he obliged
'No, man but have you?'
.
He was like my shadow
I despised him profoundly
I couldn't look him in the eye
He too sold his soul long ago
And traded his ideals to fit in
It was scary, my friend
Just his presence there
Chilled me to the bones
And i wanted to run away
.
'Are you okay?' he asked
With a haunting smile
I didn't know the answer
So again I lied to him
'Yes I'm fine and happy'
To which he looked surprised
And then disappeared in a mist
And I never saw him again
I wonder who was he, you know
Guess who was that man.
