I stare blankly at him
To show that my feelings are dim
I didn’t utter a word
Knowing it’ll just hurt like a sword

He asked me why I’m like this
That my face once full of bliss
Has been taken away abruptly
To a different world unknowingly

There was a moment of silence
A moment that was filled with tense
A silence that no one dares to break
For each other’s sake

The look on his face struck me
His eyes showing deep sympathy
He knows what he have done wrong
That I’ve been hiding all along

I turned around and walk away
I know he can’t stop me today
He said he doesn’t want to be left
But I don’t want to be with someone deaf

My feelings for him weren’t real
Our relationship seems like a deal
He should’ve known so he wasn’t broken
With my words left unspoken
******,
Depressed,
And not someone who'd like to meet you.
Except,
I don't show any of that.
So, I'll still greet you.
Especially if your pretty,
Or listen to cool music.
I'm pretty picky about who I share my secrets with.
Or overly nice,
Or interested in me.
As long as you have time to talk.
You could be anyone.
Even "an angry lesbian,
With a loaded gun."
Just as long as you listen to me,
I'll be happy.
So I'm sorry if my vulgarity,
And depression overwhelms you,
I promise it's not meant too.
mason jar dreams stuck inside
of broken things that you call love
we stored away our future
inside the promise of yesterday
and watched our relationship
slip through our fingers like the
sand on the beach that we dug our
fists into (I think, secretly, me and you
were pretending it was one another's flesh)
and through it all, we come home
with fake smiles and dying flowers and
the excuse of "it was the last bouquet"
hanging on our lips like severed promises
instead of admitting that the ugliest bunch
is always the cheapest (and I know that
we both knew you were lying, even though
we would never confess it) and maybe those
wilted petals were more fitting for our love
than roses because let's face it
the moment you were able to call me yours
is the second we realized our love didn't
have any of the necessary ingredients
to keep either of us
alive.

Dead skin and dirt under crescent shaped keratin claws
I'll take a shower- fix the problem, but
Sin isn’t grime, and pain isn’t filth
and the lines on my arms
aren’t a map
directing you anywhere
but you’ll trace them from my wrists to my eyes and you’ll
wonder

Stay in bed
Close the blinds
**** the lights
Listen to your breathing
Listen to a faint pulse
Listen to blood gushing through your ears
Listen to your head
The thoughts you can't describe
The blood in your ears
And try to breathe
But anxiety lays on you like a heavy blanket
And your chest heaves to no avail
Blood in your ears
Get up and move but there's no where to go
Limbs are too heavy
Blood in your ears
Pulse elevating
Suffocating under some invisible demon
Gasping, gasping
Blood
in
your
ears.


When you're on the hunt for your own blood,
You'll beg hypochondria to **** you.
you spent so long
wondering
and asking
"how can anyone love me?"
and you counted  your flaws
but didn't have
any fingers left
for strength
and when someone finally
said they loved you
all you could ask
was "why?"
instead of telling them
that you loved them too

I met you through circumstances
I've never imagined
To fall in love with you.

I first noticed your ****** eyes
Then your high husky voice
That I didn't forget.

It's not love at first sight
That I'm sure of
It's unexpected love.

You added me in Facebook
I chatted you and you replied
Gave your number and said goodbye.

At night we texted
At dawn we called
At sleep we smiled.

The love grew
Burning like a fire
So sudden it sparks.

I did everything
Just for you
I didn't regret.

To lay my trust and love
To make my dreams with you
That gives me reason to linger.

But in the end
Our love is
Unfortunate.

It arrives at the wrong time
It breaks friendship
It bends trusts.

To leave me
To not choose me
To think I'm not the right one.

Was it better for
Our love
Not to exist at all.

Than to feel feelings
Of despair, of misery
And of disappointment.

To end things up
So bitter was how I feel
So wasted were those times.

Cause it's not the feelings that hurt
Not the time that were misused
But the expectations that were not realized.
Entrancing sounds
Plucking at my heartstrings
Bubbling golden
Like champagne
Traveling through my beingness
And invoking
Distant echoes and
Long forgotten memories
Of life in fluidity
Unfolding choreography
A ballet of
Colors
Unknown to human eyes
Yet I see and feel
their presence
Opening up infinity
Connected through love

Sounds and rhythms
Reverberate through my body
Touching each
And every cell
Which respond with
Tiny sparkles
Creating harmony within
To music from without
Emanating
Soul sounds

bella
she looks at the girl
in front of her
her lips bruised
her eyes hollow

she hated what she saw
they were right
fat, ugly, unwanted
their words branded her skin

she could feel herself fading
her desire to be on this earth
is gone

she grabbed a piece of paper
and spilled her sorrows
for tomorrow
she's gone
