I am burning from the inside out
And although everyone can *******
See the smoke
Seeping from every pour in my body,
They just watch because
Maybe I'll put myself out?
But how is one person supposed to stop
An entire world from being engulfed in flames?

Tell me that not every guy will
leave black tar in my chest,
Assure me that not every guy
is pollution to my soul.
Promise me that I won't be
coughing up their ashes forever.

So go ahead,
fill me with too many "I love you"s.
Inflate my lungs until they want to burst.
Teach me what it's like
to inhale something that won't hurt.

Show me what it's like to have clean air in my lungs.
*Let me breath you.
This is so corny lol
We write, not because we think our ideals will change the world,
But because we know so.
We write not pages after pages so that people will follow us,
We write but a few words for those who are cultured enough to read them.
We write, because we wish to be read.

Let Go

“How do you let go of someone you love?”

You once asked me, eyes aflame

And I'm afraid I do not know.

The only healer for you mind

Is to wait and hope

For that helping hand to pull you up

From out of the chaos and away from the fire

Of burning loss and lack of self-worth

But in the end it lies on you

To open your eyes and look around

For I love you and I’ll never let go

limb from limb you tore me apart because you knew id let you
id let you hold my hand in order for you to get close enough
to rip my arms off so that I could never touch your skin again.
as we lay, legs intertwined
I fall for you again and you take my legs so that
I am unable to walk to you
I spilled my heart out to you and my mind
so with that you stole my love and all my secrets
you had every piece of me in your captive
and I know you wont come back to return them so maybe that's why I cant build the strength to stand up
or to trust another human with my heart
so ill lay on my bathroom floor
shedding tears merely because
that's the only thing you have left me able to do

whispering silken mist, delicate sighs
tiny falling droplets of mountain dew,
the diamonds from my teary eyes
are sprinkling showers of crystal blue
she tasted like
(::faux-peach::)
cough drops and lonely
nights.
tęsknię za tobą : miss you in polish form
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Draw an illustration
Cast out all delusions
Radical and insane
Crazy by any name

Rise against the fears
Stand up with your peers
Martyrs, you are not
Away in the ground and rot

Charlie, we stand with you
Remembering those we knew
Thousands to hear your voice
Louder you have a choice

Terror will not prevail
Your acts will all but fail
Cowards we see you there
Crushed and no one cares

Remembering Charlie
Artists and all
Freedom will win
Salute, we stand tall
Remembering the victims in Paris
