eve-ry syllable
that comes out of your pretty mouth
makes me uneasy
daggers covered in roses
but the thorns won't heal my wounds
how can the same person  
say something
that can make you feel  like
for once
you're going to be more
than "okay"
but can tear you apart like
the page in your journal
you tried to forget
your lungs are meant to give you life
but they're surely taking away mine

i've never felt
more alone
than when
you leave
without
warning
Short.

nights are the worst
when the thoughts come in
from every angle
and i have no chance
of getting any sleep.

my problems become larger than life.
my past comes back to haunt me until i wish i was dead.
and i forget to breathe.
Truth: the heart has no ******* clue what it wants

why was it so easy for you to let go?
you break apart the hearts
that adore you, dear
covering your sleeves
from what's underneath
on the run and go
from your fears that
keep you awake at night
only running from yourself
but you'll keep cutting corners,
even if it's hurting someone else.

if that's what "love" is,
i hope i never know.

tired eyes, sapping me dry
"to give, to take"
but all you do is
take, take, take
he told me,
"honey, you're far too young to feel this way"
i told him i was born a little late
an old soul
living life with
eyes closed
