Warning: Causes Cancer
Splayed across billboards,
Written in the stars,
Tattooed in brains,
Whispered in ears.

Warning: Injurious to Health,
Detrimental,
Almost like poison,
Searing through veins,
Stopping hearts,
Stealing breaths,
Melting skin.

Warning: Will make you fall,
Fall as deep as the sea,
Warning: Will make you cry,
Surround you in an ocean
Of your own tears,
Warning: Will leave you dry,
As dry as the desert
on a hot summer’s day.

Warning: Will break your heart
Into a million pieces,
Shatter it all around you,
Leaving you to mend it.

                                                   All alone.

All the pieces
in suitcases
packed and put away.
I count the reasons
why I leave them
I guess I cannot admit
that I'm afraid
Of all the secrets and war stories
that left scars upon my skin
and if I keep them stored in
Darkened places
perhaps,
I'll forget it ever happened.
Still,
the turning of the gears
the locks I wish would adhere
inside my closet
shadows slipping
down the faucet
All my tears.
All my fears.
All the years
I caved
but I hear the music play
You tell me, "it's okay...it's okay"
When it never is.
I awake to the sound of broken glass
World's Best cup shards
Of the past.
Running toward the kitchen door
there on the floor
both useless cup and you.
I pick them up and throw them in
And say aloud, "I'll just save them"
It's okay... It's okay...
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day
but it never is.

Have you met hurt?
Have you met pain?
I'm sure you have.
I've been in love with them,
yes at the same time.
They compliment each other
and make up what's left of me.

Hurt.
Pain.

So, you see, before you
I've only loved these two.
And they've loved me too.

My hurt.
My pain.

I trust these two.
I tried to find them in you.

I know you're hurt.
I know you're pain.
I know they compliment you,
but you make the most of me.

I trust these two..
and I'm in love with you too.

i may have never been good enough for you,
but i sure as hell will be good enough for myself.
never again will i let anyone eradicate my self confidence
right before my very eyes
and never again will i succumb to trying to living up to anyone's standards besides my own.
especially to that of a boy.
i can't make your body ache to intertwine with mine,
neither can i be your muse,
and neither can i make your heart go into cut time every time i'm near.
but the good thing is,
it doesn't matter.
you can't force pieces that don't fit
and you just can't force feelings that aren't there.

Down the memory lane of my forgetful mind,
I have forgotten almost all,
But you;
You are still a part of,
Countless flashbacks, that:
Bring tears to my eyes,
A smile to my lips,
And love to my soul.

Countless times,
I have tried,
To let go of you...
But you always hold on my to mind,
As if without each other,
We would remain incomplete.

Countless are the ways,
By which I have managed to,
Hate you hard,
And end up,
Loving you harder;
As if,
It’s easier for my being,
To die countless deaths for loving you,
Than to, without a thought of you,
Spend countless eternities.
