Her eyes got heavy
As the tears and makeup dried on her face
She turned her head and fell asleep
He had no clue she was crying
She doesn't tell many people
She just does
She gets to that point where she's gasping for air
As if someone to come help her
But no one will come
She won't tell anyone
She's looks so peaceful when she sleeps
Maybe Because she's not thinking about that pain
She's dreaming about a good life
Not the one she lives inside her self
A constant war
A bitter cold blood curdling war
She's fights her biggest enemy
Herself
But she's asleep now.. That's one time she doesn't worry and neither will you
She will wake up and realize she cried herself to sleep
And she will remember every thing that happened
Besides the dream in which she was happy.

since you've been gone
i've written a few poems 
& not a single one 
actually says what i want
because i want to say
i miss you
& i want to say
i need you
& i want to say
come back to me 
& you left the door wide open
i thought it was a sign 
i thought it was some poetic way
of saying you'd walk back in
but now i realize 
you just didn't care enough to shut it
& now i feel a draft
a small cold wind 
whispering
"get up & change some things
she left you for a reason"

& now i come to find 
that there were never enough ampersands
to keep you & i together

[holyoak]
I feel small in this world
With little to no purpose at all.
I feel like I **** everyone off
I'm not good enough
Nor ever will be.
Eventually I'll give up on myself like everyone else does.
I throw my hands up and say I get why they left
I'll understand why people left me to pain
Let me feel the way I did
I'll lose him
He will let go, and give up
He will find the real me and get overwhelmed
He will see what I see in myself
All the negative
And he will let go right before I do
Then I'll be left with cold empty me just like before
But this time I'll let go completely and let myself float into that's state of utter disexsistance and then everyone will see what I saw in me

Do you ever sit in class
And wish no one could see you
wish you were invisible
You get tired of laughing and pointing
And you literally zone out.
And stare off into the distance
Blocking out everyone
Wishing you could break down
But staying strong because you don't want to look weak.
I'm tired of being here.
I may be a *****
I treat others how I treat myself
I hate everyone.... I hate myself
Low key I hate being here and existing.

i'm stuck in traffic
during a rain storm
in the middle of the night 
and i'm subtly reminded 
of when you stopped 
holding my hand 
as much as you used to
the cracks in the windshield
remind me of us
i cross another county line
and i think it's just like you
same place
new name
my veins are power lines
running through this ghost town
i'm so full of electricity 
but no one taps into it
i guess i'm useless
it's been a long time
since i've seen anything special
in the shapes of the clouds 
i don't think hurricanes
know that they destroy so much
maybe that's why you don't know
that i'm in this kind of pain
the cracks in my windshield 
are getting bigger
i think it's going to shatter soon 
could you imagine
the window shattering
and the glass coming at me
as i'm speeding
down this dark and rainy road
i don't have to imagine
i've already met you

My tears feel like acid
The more I cry the more I hurt.
The more I try to stop the more it burns.
I tell people ill be ok or I'm fine
It's a ******* excuse
Outside I'm strong
Inside I'm a different person.
I joke around and laugh
But I die more on the inside
My tears being acid is true to me
You won't understand
Acid burns.. Kills.. Hurts.. Stings..
And somehow all that comforts me.
But it also burns, kills, hurts, and stings me.
Feeling unloved is like wind
Sometimes it's a little wind
But sometimes it destroys things in its path.
The windstorm I've created in my years of acid utterly embolished me.

This isn't anything someone has read.
I have always been broken.
And always will be.
I used to think I could be fixed. Saved. Loved. Cared for. But I never was.
I just lost someone who was my whole world.
He didn't need or want me.
No one ever wanted me. And I finally get all of it.
What the point in staying if your not wanted?

I’ve spent an eternity comparing me
With someone I’ve never met;
I’m not even finished yet
Anchored by this absolute uncertainty
I’ll let the person I will never be
Define me.
And I will sink to the ocean floor
There’s not much else I’m looking for
I will drown in my own misconception
That I won’t amount
To anything.
I will fill my lungs with self doubt
Before I finally plunge down
Tired from treading waters of malcontentment
And when I close my eyes one final time
Losing my breath but finding my mind
I’m finally sure of something
For the first time in my life.
I was told by a very smart young man that breaking something means you never wanted it.
We try all we can and give everything we have for someone but sometimes you come up short.
What you intended was everything wasn't enough for the other person. You forgot who you were for the other person. You gave everything to them and they wanted more. 'You weren't enough' always will pop into your head weather you loved each other or not. Love is a strange thing a lesson and a blessing. But If someone wants to walk out of your life let them. Some come for a lifetime and some come for a season. You need to know the difference. Even if you emotionally physically and mentally die inside your never given something you can't handle.
