Seven days
Seven days repeat them
Repeat them over
One by one
Seven by seven.
Here we go
Seven colours the sky smiles
Seven times seventy
And seventeen years
Seven levels of hell
And seven sins to send you there
Seven princesses
Sailing seven seas
And seven sea monsters to sink them
Seven lies and seven truths
Seven wonders
On seven continents
That I will never see
Seven dreams
On seven nights
Seven kisses
Seven kisses
Seventeen years
Seven years for complete cell replacement
And it’s been seven
Seven years of plenty
And seven of famine
(which are we in?)
Seven seconds to count down
Seven candles to light
On seven lampstands
7-Up and 7/11
Seven days
Seven days repeat them
Repeat them over and over and over
Seven years repeat them over
Seventeen repeat it over
Repeat it over
Repeat it over and over
Seven cells replaced in seven
Seven tears cried in seven
Seven out of seven
And seventeen years
Seven dwarfs and seven demons
Seven secrets
Concealed by seven lies
Seven torches we bear
Seven oaths and seven gemstones
Seven spells for seven curses
On seventeen days
And the Seven Years War
In seven days I built myself
And in seven seconds I’m destroyed
Seven feathers fall to earth
Seven stars all align
And seven Gods stole my soul
Seven slaves owned by seven masters
Seven burdens
Seven burdens
Seven prayers leave my lips
Seventy Hail Mary’s to save you
And seven angels
Seven sweet friends
That left me
Here’s what they don’t tell you
Seven lives mean seven deaths
And seven joys mean seven pains
Seven sisters mean seven funerals
And seven suns mean seven rains
And seven
And seven
I’ve been stuck on seventeen
For an eternity
Repeat it
Repeat it over
Repeat it over
Seven
And seven
And seven
Teen.
Seven days
And I’ll be home to a house I’ve never seen
In a country I don’t belong to
And a language I can’t speak
And it’s all just seven
And seven
And seven
Teen.

You might have seen the smile on his face,
and heard the laughter full of lies
But did you see the scars on his arm,
and the tears in his eyes.
Have heard the pain in his voice,
and seen the bruises on his thighs?
He's been broken for years and no one has a clue on why.

The first thing you notice is I'm different and you wonder what it is i want out of life. You might see my scars and softly whisper "did you use a knife?" and I'd quickly turn away, in fear of humiliation. And you'd understand because words are not always needed for communication. And you'd try to give me a fancy speech on how it wouldn't help asking me what the motive was, sharply I'd reply "and if it does?!" And I'd turn away once again and offer my apologies, you'd ask me what's my sign, and I'd ask what sadness had to with astrology. Then I'd peak up and quietly mumble "Leo" and you'd say "ahh a warrior, a king, a hero", and that's when you saw the sorrow in my eyes,  "but Kings shouldn't cry" and I'd shout "well humans shouldn't lie!" And in that very moment you will know that I'm hurt, I'm damaged, just broken. You'd see that even when the words haven't been spoken. You might wonder how I got such a chaotic brain. I'd tell you blame it on the chemicals rushing through my veins  And if while we're in deep conversation and you ask me what's the strongest drug I've ever tasted, I'll look deep into your eyes and I'd tell you her name. and you'd probably look at me in confusion and think that I'm insane. And sadly, you're probably right, because love does that to a person. But see, read closely, and you'll find, love is not the most addicting drug, no the strongest drug is the human mind. And the tears will start to fall as i mumble her name again. You'd quickly grab my hand and question if she was a friend. Breaking down, I'd try to explain the emotions that i felt. " an unbearable pain, i helplessly watch as my heart slowly melts" it's like a bittersweet euphoric pain, and i die a little more each time i say her name. And even without rain, my days are always long and cold, because it wasn't just my heart and sanity, she also stole my soul.

My heart screams your name.
As the tears run down like river beds.
And I'm so ******* confused!
Because your voice is the only thing to cease the chaos in my head..
I thought about tearing open skin, once again. To release you through my veins.
But it won't do me any good because you'll always remain in my brain.
This was written yesterday. Inspired by a recent heart break. It's not the greatest but it has a lot of meaning.
