At 2:52 a.m as you dozed off to sleep, I hung up the phone.
That's when I realized what the meaning of happiness was,
I found a natural drug for all my pain and anxiety.
It's your voice, your smile.
I'm in love with your smile.
I'm in love with you and I haven't even touched your skin.
I've fallen in love with your soul. I’ve found the light I've been searching for.
How can I be in love with someone that I’ve never met in the flesh?  
You're trapped between pixels on a phone
Between the muffled words
Poor connections,
And long pauses.
You brought light to the darkest parts of me,
You make me feel safe from the things that hurt inside.
And I know we are both broken but you took my heart and placed it back together.  
At 2:52 a.m I thank the universe for bringing us together
Because the odds of us ever meeting were slim.
Now its 2:53 a.m. and I realized that I can never tell you this.

We are all the same.
We all bleed the same color.
We are all cells in the body of humanity.
We all have this strange delusion
And utter fantasy that love, only love
Could heal our brokenness
And make us feel whole again.

We all love someone so much
That it hurts us inside
We all love someone so much
That we can't hate them for leaving

We all fall down
Cry our eyes out
Feel pain
Taste the rain
Fall in love
Get our hearts broken

We all have strengths and weaknesses
We all have deep cuts
One so deep they’ll never heal
And you’ll always feel the pain

We all live this life day in day out
Sunup to sundown
Breath to breath

We are all the same

We all bleed R E D

My parents warned me about the bullies the responsibilities, drugs and terrible things, but they never warned me about beautiful tan skinned boys with hazel eyes that could make you forget how to breathe, eyes that cut deeper than a knife ever could, whose smile could unwittingly **** and make you forget how to think. And whose hands could steal your suffering soul and shatter your heart into millions of pieces. Whose gentle lips could make you stupidly forget all the bad things he’s done and keep you begging for more. Whose touch sent shivers down your spine and paralyzed you.

Oh god.

They forgot to tell me how he’d make me feel.

And how much agonizing pain I'd be in

When he left.

I was your cigarette. You put me out, after lighting me up. Like a cigarette you ignited me and raised me to your scornful lips, you made me your addiction and i let you consume me. You only used me when you were bored and stepped on me once you were done. You'd watch me burn and blatantly ignore the ashes falling. And when u got tired of me, you left me alone and  moved onto your next cigarette.

Loving you had consequences.
Loving you came with pain and agony
And sorrowful puddles of tears
Every word spoken and every bitter silence had consequences
     You brought pain to my heart.
     And killed me ever so softly
     when you whispered serenity in my ears.
     you numbed the pain with his fingers.
And hypnotized me with your hazel eyes
Every soft touch, every empty kiss, all the lies
Had consequences. You left without paying your dues.
Without serving your time. So i took all the pain
And now i'm suffering the consequences,
Of loving you.

I keep trying to erase the memories, the feeling, the sensations, because what we had was an illusion.

These canyons between us were carved with the river of my ego and the streams of your lies. The oceans between us were made by the countless number of tears I cried bitterly for you. For our love was a disaster, but how could we of known?

Why do we have to hide our emotions?
Why do bottle them up?
When hiding your emotions is like hiding a gushing wound,
When the hole won't close
The blood won’t clot.
Its because everyone else
Who can’t feel your genuine pain would prefer to
Not see the gore
Or clean up the mess.
So you're stuck with a painful wound
Without a bandaid or proper care
Your just stuck holding the wound closed
But you can only hold it for so long
And once you let go
You can’t stop the bleeding
So you bleed it all out
Til there's nothing left.
And your left with an empty body.

I miss the person I was in elementary school: the innocent, untampered little girl that I was.
The girl I was before the world snatched me from my innocence and poisoned my mind.  
I yearn for the girl who only cried because she skinned her knee or her tummy hurt.

I regret the person I was in middle school, not for who she was but for the person she was becoming, I bitterly regret allowing the world get to her, for it changed her; it altered her in tremendous ways.
She became dismantled, unrecognizable to the girl she was just a few years ago. She fell into the world’s hands, and the world destroyed her, it took her and impaled her with negativity and poison.
For that was just the beginning of the girl, she would become in high school.

You see that's the tragedy of growing up; you lose the things in life that truly made you happy, things you didn't have to compromise your happiness for.
When you grow up your trade the simplistic and the care-free life for a more brutal and agonizing one.
Waking up and having your whole body hurt, and your eyes red and puffy from crying all night, but once you walk into those glass doors it suddenly disappears -- almost like it never existed almost like you never felt those things at all.
But that's just the thing: it was all real and you still indeed feel that way, but you simply cover all that pain and all that emotion with a mask.
Because you know it is harder to show how you really feel than covering it.
And that mask keeps toying with your emotions and so then you are stuck between missing who you used to be and hating who you are now.

If our heart is the strongest muscle
Then why does it break so easily?

The strongest ***** has open wounds.
It's dripping with pain.

Once again
It's broken and bruised.

Our acidic love is burning.
Through the flesh
Im screaming in pain

Every scar of the past
Is ripping with regret

There's poison in my veins.
The antidotes missing

My hearts beating the blame
And pumping out shame

The ache,
The pain,
The hurt,
Is just another
Toxic mistake
Ruthlessly destroying my heart

But baby u don’t know how to love when you’re sober.
And your too high to realize that i see the smile that your faking.
For your “I love yous” only feel real when your mind doesn’t function on its own, your intoxicated by drugs and i'm intoxicated by you. Your drunk off ***** and tequila shots and I’m drunk off of your love. I'm amazed at how meaningful your words sound when u cant think straight. How you look at me with those drunk eyes as i look at you with my sobering eyes hoping that you won't drink enough to make you forget my name. Because baby i could drink three bottles to try and forget you but the only thing I forget, is my name not yours and how u keep hurting me. Our memories are so deep and so livid that even when the mind gets manipulated and intoxicated, ours overpower them every time.

Our feelings were hidden within the foolish lies that lied between our lips.

I miss it, I miss being unable to breathe while you devour me with your lips.
I miss the way you used to look at me; with a sense of wanting; lust.
I desperately miss the feeling you gave my body when you ever so gently caressed me with your hands.
I keep trying to erase the memories, the feeling, the sensations, for what we had was an illusion.
It was made to make us feel good, but it wasn’t real. Our feelings were hidden within the foolish lies that lied between our lips.
You left me addicted, begging for another taste.
I lust for you, unsure of my love for you.
I can’t look at you without feeling resentment. You walk past me and my heart skips a beat when you look at me. It sends shivers down my spine and the butterflies in my stomach escape from their cage.
It reminds me of the feeling I got when your lips were pressed against my neck and your hands firmly around my waist.
A moment of sheer ecstasy, a memory on replay in my mind, a moment that was over too soon.
What we did was wrong, but everything about it felt right, it made me feel invincible like the weight of the world suddenly vanish from my shoulders.
When we were together, lips pressed against each other, chest to chest. Our hearts beat as one.
All the anger, fear, regrets disappeared for a moment for three minutes, everything felt okay. From the very first time to the last.
For I cannot forget the first time, a moment I've been imagining for a while, no longer a fantasy.
I had tasted many lips before you, but it was only ones that tasted ever so sweet, only yours that turned my butterflies into fireworks, yours’ were the only ones that satisfied my craving.
You satisfied my craving once again, a moment I thought would never happen again. This time, brief, aggressive. You grabbed me by my waste and our lips touched once again, leaving me hungrier than the last.

Weeks passed as those two memories looped in my mind, leaving me wondering what we were becoming and if there ever was an end.
For it happened again, this one more special than the other, maybe it was the way you bit my lip, or maybe it was the way your hands were placed on my body. But it felt different, new, it felt like raging fire within my bones.
Once again weeks passed by and the fire slowly extinguished, leaving me wondering if I’ll ever feel that way again.
One. Last, Time. We shared that moment one last time. I didn’t know it then but that was the last time our lips would ever touch. This is the one that's causing the most pain, that's leaving the most wounds on my rugged heart.

I remember you walked towards me, our eyes locked on each other, saying things that we couldn’t express through words, feelings too strong to verbalize. My heart kept missing a beat, like it was the first time. You were standing in front of me and your eyes fell to the floor, you started talking nervously as you sweetly caressed the necklace hanging from my neck, you looked up and stared into my eyes with hunger.
you put your hand on my waist and pulled me closer, and my mind went blank, my mouth watered and left me with a craving for your lips. You pressed your lips against my glossy lips and the room fell away, everything disappeared except for you and me, I had never gotten so lost in a kiss, You kept pulling me in closer, Like I wasn’t close enough, It felt like an eternity, like there was no end. But then you stopped to whisper in my ear, you tell me that you had to go. I deny it and swiftly turn around.

You grabbed me by my belt loop and pulled me back. Your stomach against my back, you gently pulled my hair to the side and whispered serenity in my ear, I felt you breathing against my neck, kissing it ever so gently.
Our breaths became heavy while sinful thoughts ran through my innocent mind. You gave me a newfound feeling, a sensation that I never wanted to end. But I could taste the end on your lips, leaving my body aching.
It ended just as quickly as it started and you've left me with this pain and emptiness and I'm hungry for you. When you left for the last time, you took a piece of me with you. It was our last goodbye without a word being said, no explanation or reason.
You walked away.

I wrapped my legs around your waste.
I whispered in your ear
“Stay”
And in that moment I wanted you to kiss me ,
Wrap your fingers around my curls
Enclose Them around my neck. Hard
Just hard enough for you to feel my pulse
The quiet beating and pulsating

I won't always be this open...this vulnerable
My trust is in the palm of your hands
In the space between our lips

This is the moment where you should pull me closer
And place your thumb gently on my bottom lip and breathe.
I whisper “stay,” over and over again

You told me you would, you told me ,'I love you”

And after that moment, I couldn't stop myself.

Wait..
Please stay
I know i messed up
But i am only human
Im gonna ***** up
I'm gonna fall down
I made a mistake
And i might lose you because of it
I truly regret what I did
I tore us apart
While ruining the one thing that
Made me happy
The one thing that made me
Feel worth it
Baby, listen
The silence kills me
Come back
Please
I need you
Lets try again
I need you
Your my other half

Walk away
It what your good at
Leaving
Disappearing
It must be your distraction from reality
You go then you come back
And expect it to stay the same
For us to remain the same
For me to be the same
But i'm not your puppet
I don't freeze every time
You're done playing with me
And touching me
I am human

So just walk way
It's your only perfection
