do you have moments, where you can’t imagine a future?
you’re lying there, staring at the
same walls
same ceilings
same words
with nothing but the same feelings-
empty and pale,
like there’s no reason to go on,
when you can’t even do enough to fail.
the future is coming, but you don’t want to be in it,
can’t imagine yourself in it.
where you just want to stop.
everything.
and just sit there for a while.
maybe not death, as that’s too permanent,
but something close to it.
when you can feel the rope around your neck,
the razor on your wrist,
the way the pills taste.
you can imagine it, and you aren’t sure if it’s what you want,
or just the feelings you imagine it will give you
Is this depression?

I love you &
I'm paranoid.
Missing you;
It's a disease.
I'm scared...
Of who I am?
Of who you think I am?
I love you,
And I don't know...
If it is e n o u g h

Feel the way pain
demands to be felt,
But do not count the
blows you've been dealt.
...
Get lost in the regret that
paints the dark sky,
Burn through intensity of
the anger as you fly.
...
Dance into the whispered
wish of a shooting star,
That lands safely upon
your healing scar.
...
You must not fret, I will
never gaze with disgust,
as you gallantly rise from
the ashes of your own stardust.
Sometimes feeling the way pain demands to be felt is how we heal.
...
How do you heal your yourself?

*feedback is greatly appreciated*
Naiveness does not plague me.*

You are nothing more
than one too many drinks,

nothing more
than sweat-stained sheets.
I can feel myself slowly slipping through the cracks, fading further and further into the distance, soon to become nothing more than a ghost, fabricated by their nostalgia.
What to do with this strange mind,
It does not relax it does not unwind,
It is not content until it is fed,
It's craving gets vicious when put to bed.
how can something as pure as love hurt?
why wasn't I warned?
where's the manuscript,
the rules, the rights, the wrongs?
how can something so sweet turn sour?
at first it was bliss,
wonderful, exciting, amazing...
and now it's disastrous, a wreckage, poisonous
the cause of my pain,
the cause of my sorrow,
the reason my heart is breaking,
the reason behind all of my tears,
my love is now tainted,
I don't think I will ever try again
love is now a book to never be reopened,
a book that I will cast behind me and hide in the attic
to be covered in cobwebs,
I will let the pages of love turn yellow with age,
never to be turned again
