I miss your smile
I miss your face
It's been a while
I only have empty space

Can you please forgive me
Why don't you see
We were meant to be
You just have to trust me

Where are we now
You left me
I'm trying to figure out how
Was it me
End of Drama

Mom
It’s elder sister’s sobbing voice
The face was swollen and reddish
It made me sad
What’s that speech
What will happen to you
When we die
In near future
To where you run away
Tell the truth
Dad seemed annoyed
He beat her
For the first time
Sister started moaning
I can’t wake up early
To prepare his lunch
She muttered
Dad smiled
With a sarcastic look
I saw him phoning
To someone
I’ll have my lunch from outside
I saw her husband
Stroking her head gently
The situation changed
Laughing and happiness
We all looked at the couple
Leaving home together
Embracing each other
Like a newly married couple

dance and twirl and flail around

who cares if we look like silly clowns

knocking shelves and breaking hearts

drinking a bottle of whiskey and throwing darts

straight at brains and thoughts and love

taking the life of the pretty white dove

we run rampant like rabbits

making bad habits

destroying the world that raised us well

ignoring the cries the screams the yells

slaying the ones who love us most

and over drinks we proudly boast

then we grow up and graduate and then

some of us stay and some become men

those who remain lost and alone

allow their hearts to turn to stone

they die with tears and fears and frowns

but ****, it's fun to stay a clown

they say "hell is empty and the devils are here"
i guess then it makes sense, that at night i see all of my deepest fears
the ghouls and the ghosts and the demons are real
they come to live in the minds of men who can't feel
they inhabit the bodies of bosses who fuel corporate greed
they're bloodthirsty animals, just desperate to feed
they feed on your hope until there is nothing left
your colours get erased and they leave you bereft
and when you find that your life has dulled to a gray
maybe you'll realize that you have nothing to say
because you're just like the rest, you've become a clone
you're nothing more than a corporate american drone
my biggest fear is that this will happen to me
i'm petrified of the soulless shell i could come to be
so try as i might, and try as i may
i'll do what i want, no, i won't obey
i'm going to live by my very own laws
i'll fight to the end, and stay true to our cause
i refuse to be like my mom, striving for perfection
my every last thought will show through my own reflection
i won't be a slave to your american dream
i'll be myself, even if i have to scream
How long will I have to go through this
How long will I have to wake up everyday
Dead
The only reason I'm still here
Is because
Somewhere in the deepest part of my heart
I have hope
So small
It's barely there
Just passing bye
But always there
Holding me together
So thin
Yet so strong  

I know why I want to die
Reasons so small
They make the ants on the ground
Look so tall
They're so small
No one can help me
So they wind themselves around my heart
Squeezing
Draining
Killing
Every ounce of hope that I have left
Making my life hell on earth
Everyday
Life is pain
But pain is life
I didn't choose to be here
A women
High off of ***
And a man
Willing to pay brought me here
I guess they didn't get the memo
That when you bring someone into this life
You're supposed to stay with them
But they didn't stay
So why should I
Why should I stay in a world
That tells me I'm worthless everyday
Its simple
*I don't
I still love you.
Said the girl, as she cries herself to sleep.
I still love you .
Said the girl, as her heart disintegrates.
I still love you.
Said the girl, who looks oh so weak.
I still love you.
Said the girl, who will always sit and wait.
I still love you.
Said the girl, as she began to cut her wrists,
I still love you.
Said the girl, who's sadness can't be missed.
I still love you.
Said the girl, as her tears roles down her cheek.
I still love you.
Said the girl, colour in her face is bleak.
I still love you.
Said the girl, as she gained her angel wings.
I still love you.
Said the girl, as she met our only king.
I still love you.
Said the girl, as she looks down on your face.
I still love you.
Said the girl, every minute, every day, every place.

It’s been highlighted, underlined, written on the side of my shoe: do not awaken love until it so desires.
It is to love then, not to me or to you, that I owe an apology
Because when they told me love hurts— I invited it to knock me down.

I think you try to talk to me because I knew you best and you like that,
But every time I offered you a tissue you took it as a chance to cut into mine,
And I let you to chip away a shade of my hue with every slice,
Changing the gradient and adding cracks to the contour of my soul.

Every time I slid my skin off for you it was under artificial light,
Painting the yellow pigment of my skin shades of black and blue instead of allowing me to stay golden because shiny wasn’t the right color,
You didn’t need to see your reflection the truth wasn’t interesting to you.

You didn’t take my honor you ignored its existence,
I made love to you without making you love me,
That’s why it’s so funny that now you don’t play hard to get,
you play hard to get rid of.

Realizing I deserved better changed everything,
You had nothing to offer but your own confusion and version of the world,
But I have my own now,
And I’ve colored it to be absent of your blacks and blues.

winter has the coldest touch,
it spills down your spin,
into your soul,
you name it silence.

you feel it,
you hear it,
you cannot see it,
but it consumes you.

the monsters below are frigid,
they feel it too,
some grasping for air,
some letting it burry them,
they live within us.

we aren't so different you and me,
from the demons we nominate,
they guide us,
control our intellect.

judgment is corrupted,
theory is no longer our own.

flourish from the ground,
look at the dusk in front of you,
it's your reflection.
you are winters touch of silence.
The black snow runs down from the rooftops;
A red finger dips into your brow;
Blue snow flakes sink into the empty room,
They are a lovers’ dying mirrors.
Heavy and torn to pieces the mind muses,
Follows the shadow in the mirror of blue snow flakes,
The cold smile of a deceased harlot.
The evening’s wind weeps in the scent of carnations.
