this is me giving up
this is me surrendering
this is me saying i was never your worth
this is me finally leaving
to give you what you want
this is me in defeat
this is me saying that you were right all along
that i was the **** of the earth
and i had you always looking for so much more

You and I were very close
And that all changed within 3 short months
It hurts to think about the past
And I panic when I think about what my future holds
And you never really explained why
Our friendship had to die
You just stopped responding
And I'm scared it will happen with my other friends too..
i miss you lots.
I did not mean to fall
for you but it's
your words
that made
me do
I
wish,
I didn't
give in that easily
just because you were
so nice and sweet every
time we speak.

You told me I'd never be able to touch the sky
But at the back of my mind I always knew
that holding you and touching the heavens
are the same thing

old souls
drenched in white noise

Are we not exciting enough for you?
our brains stuffed with everything science. thoughts
deeper than black holes.

Have we not made life fun enough for you?
because we'd rather travel into an alternate reality
than drink until our minds get blundered over just wanting to have a good time

Take a look. We're old and grey.
Holes create our faces like Swiss cheese.
Nibble at us.
You rats will chew anything up for a good story
And our bones crack and ache.
but you wipe us over with pretty filters
throwing fire at the truth, disguising what should be valued
But hey...we're scared too. We just deal with it differently.
I've been hated since birth.
I never had much worth.
When I was young...
They made me swallow my own tongue.

I was a fool
And just sat on a stool
Watching them laugh in my face
As I was being replaced.
You can tell his hands have worked to the bone,
***** fingernails tracing art in the dark of the room.
Dust scattered on the floor, the desk, the lamps.
He hasn't been here in a long time: seven years
to be exact. What he left behind was a book
filled with love and somewhere two weeks after
he dies, a twelve year old girl will find it.
And read it cover to cover until she became
a love story in herself.

You can ask the sky
how many times she's sighed at the passing
of someone she's never met, and feels she knows
everything about.

Love means never being forgotten
(1937-2010)
When will I ever be enough?
My heart is torn,
ripped to shreds.
I no longer want to live.

What will I do now?
You're not with me
You're with her.
The girl of your dreams.

You told me I was perfect
and I made you happy.
I did everything in  my power...
just to be with you.

I fell hard.
I fell deep.
You pushed me around and I still loved you.
Now, I want to die

You left me no choice but to cry.
Maybe this...
is goodbye.

Goodbye.
I honestly want to give up.
I absolutely have no luck.
I wish someone was out there.
Could the world not be that fair?

I need someone here
Someone to care
someone to be fair
and someone to steer

My life is nothing.
I have no use in this world.
My heart... was wasted.
I give up.

Im dead
Im gone
My insides are shook
Goodbye world

Let me be.
I need to die.
That's the key.
