why should I apologize
for being a monster
when no one apologized
for turning me into one

True love
ghost Nov 2020
What is it to
Truly love
It is to fall in love with their soul
Before touching their skin

A swift escape
ghost Nov 2020
I go to sleep
Not cause I’m tired
Not cause I’m sleepy
I just do it
So I don’t have to stay awake

Show me
ghost Nov 2020
show me you love me
Don’t just say it
Carve it down on trees
Words that’ll last for centuries
Write as you see fit

Show me you love me
Scream it to the world
In words twisted and curled
come at them like storm
Our love
Will be the show we perform
Nov 2020 · 38

irrational
ghost Nov 2020
if you want to die
I won't stop you
even if I did
you wouldn't understand
Since the very thought
of wanting to die
is irrational
so why would you think
rationally

this world is not made of

knees
ghost Nov 2020
do I really have to
get down
on my knees
and beg you to let me go

I'm praying, for closed doors and open windows
I'll follow where the wind blows
don't be scared to leave

if I'm not all you need
then please let me be free
I'm down on my knees

dark thoughts
ghost Nov 2020
my hand

blood
as I slowly fade into my dark thoughts
the part of my brain I hide
floods
into my heart
and I move forward
covered
and soaked
in blood

this entire world is wrong
that is why we must fix it ourselves

next time you might be the one
or i might be the one
but you must continue to fight
even if you're left alone
fight until the end

undo
ghost Nov 2020
I can wait here silent
building up a storm inside my head
I just stood for nothing
so I fell for everything you said
hear my voice
I can wait here silent
gotta make a change
and make some noise
please  undo my sad
undo what hurts so bad
undo my pain
go together through  the rain

i hate
ghost Nov 2020
I hate that I love you
I hate that when you show up my heartbeats faster
I hate that I can't get over you
I hate you
I hate that you don't return my feelings
I hate this life
I hate me
for living in a fantasy
I love you
for bringing me back to reality

lies
ghost Nov 2020
he said I'll show you the entire world

I wasn't born yesterday
so don't f**k with me
this world has nothing offer
no you have nothing to offer

stories
ghost Nov 2020
I don't write stories
since every character I make has life
and when it has life
it wants what it wants
but it cant get what it wants
since I'm controlling them
so they'll forever live as my puppets
what a pitiful life
Nov 2020 · 36

surprises
ghost Nov 2020
I'm just too tired to keep running
maybe you're just what I never saw coming
life is full of surprises
but a mystery
is not really a mystery after it's been solved
Nov 2020 · 47
lost myself
ghost Nov 2020
looking back, it's crazy
I almost turned into

Sunshine 🌞
ghost Nov 2020
the sun shines
In beautiful light
But you did not notice
Some of the rays
Of the sun
Are harmful
But they just blend in the crowd
you’ll never know
Which ones good
Which one isn’t

live
ghost Nov 2020
he said
there's nothing more I can do
I'll just die

I said
you can do anything
as long as you're alive
so live

dreams
ghost Nov 2020
beautiful silence
beautiful pain
we're only human
we're meant to dream
lost in a life full of mistakes
we do what feels right
then fall with no grace
chased by the sun
escaping flatlines
dreams are a curse
wake up you're alive
Nov 2020 · 33
family
ghost Nov 2020
remember
even if you never wished to be in this family
your parents might've been crying for you to be here
so don't abandon them
blinded by your selfish desires

I'm only a nightmare

Nov 2020 · 42
nightmare pt.1
ghost Nov 2020
my nightmare need not rest
since they are just my sad reality
I guess its another test
given by life

now the rest
is up to fate
Nov 2020 · 67
after life
ghost Nov 2020
why would you come back to life
when you can rest in peace

if you decided to die
then please just lie
down in your grave

the afterlife
is unnecessary

to be human
ghost Nov 2020
people driving fancy cars
look like beetles to the stars

the missiles and the bombs
are like symphonies gone wrong

and if there is a god
they'll know why it's so hard to be human
Nov 2020 · 66
broken lover
ghost Nov 2020
I wish that
I did not know
where all broken lovers go
maybe then I'd have let you go
Nov 2020 · 83
love and hate
ghost Nov 2020
is there a difference between
love and hate
there is
but in the end, it's just an emotion
and feelings change
Nov 2020 · 24
loved
ghost Nov 2020
love always ends miserably
someone dies
so I'll never love
since I have loved
and lost
Nov 2020 · 24
dark
ghost Nov 2020
the dark is nothing to be afraid of
it's just the people within the dark
but don't expect me to be your light
I too was desperately searching for light
now my eyes are used to the dark
I feel as though the light is too bright now.
Nov 2020 · 33
eyes
ghost Nov 2020
when you look into my eyes
are they as blue as the skies
or are they red as blood
as deep as the ocean
or a stream that lost motion
is there a story untold
or scenes that have yet to unfold
Nov 2020 · 35
perfect death
ghost Nov 2020
the perfect death
is very beautiful
it's coming soon
ice and snow will cover the world
a beautiful scene
                       the perfect death indeed
                          it's coming soon
                  a stunning view of the world covered in snow
Nov 2020 · 73
blame
ghost Nov 2020
I don't blame you
for abandoning me
nor do I blame me
for feeling pain
nor do I blame this world
for that what it is
I can only blame
time
it was never really on our side
now was it?
Nov 2020 · 41
not alone
ghost Nov 2020
when I read what you wrote
I realized
I'm not the only one who feels this way
there are other people like me out there
I'm not alone
I was trapped in darkness
and you all became my light
so I'll treasure you
I'm afraid of losing more than I've already lost
Nov 2020 · 35
OKAY
ghost Nov 2020
to me I'm okay
is nothing more than a word
I never felt that way
there was no one to make me feel that way
how I feel is
                                     I'M
                                                  NOT


                                           OKAY
Nov 2020 · 59
you
ghost Nov 2020
you
I don't want to live
but I don't want to die either
so you ask
what do I want
it's simple
I want you

action
ghost Nov 2020
if messages could be conveyed through words
the world wouldn't be what it is today
so take action

trust
ghost Nov 2020
a slap from the one who always stood by my side
hurt more than being
stabbed a thousand times
if I could turn back time
I wouldn't disappoint you again
so, please
trust me once more
I promise ill hold onto it
like nothing else
exits
ill love, you like you never felt the pain
when you're old
I'll hold your hand
and when you near the end
I'll be someone you're proud of
so trust me
it takes years to build trust but it takes a moment to break it.
Nov 2020 · 56
bored
ghost Nov 2020
You too
Must have felt it
When you had nothing to do
No where to go
And no one to talk to
You walked down the stairs
And had a romantic walk to that empty fridge
Waiting for a miracle
Yet the pizza
The cake, juice, wine, chocolate  
Never showed up
Nov 2020 · 80
bye
ghost Nov 2020
bye
they just left-
