I have loved you
since the first day
my eyes laid sight
upon you wishing
you were mine

We sat together in
the same classroom
just letting the
days pass by

But now it is too
late and there is
nothing we can do

I wish I acted
sooner but for now

I will always love you

our relationship
is me wanting to cut off all my hair
because you Let me fall
asleep to you stroking
it,
.
our relationship is
ignored texts
&
read receipts
.
our relationship
is a horrible,
uneven mix of
realism and your romantic tomfoolery,
I don't know how I'll
ever
quit it
.
coffee and cigarettes
on the frosted sidewalk
classical music at 3 am
borrowed
and returned(?) sweaters
tedious and enthralling questions
mutual humor
under the breath
shared breath
streetlights and sunshine
appreciation for life and love
substance in emptiness
.
gossip
harrowing and defiling and
sneaking its way into every interaction,
judgments and standards and
I'm never
ever
good enough
to be like them, those
significant and aware and profound and charged girls
.
it's good for nothing and
I'm afraid
nothing will ever be as good

the first time you decided we should stop talking,
my heart handled it pretty fine.

one hundred and eighty two days later,
when you decided again we should just be friends,
my heart was ripped to shreds.

that day,
i asked three thousand and twenty six strangers on the internet,
how i could get you back,
but the most common answer i got,
was that i couldn't.

i never really ever imagined my life without you,
and your texts at 1 in the morning,
and the phonecalls that would last for hours.

right now i feel like a shadow.
opaque and lost,
wandering around,
looking for something,
that no longer exists.

I have never understood why people
fear death.

To me, death is like a simple
"good-night"
that one never wakes up from.

It feels as though




nothing




exists within me.
Even though nothing is technically something.

I am weak.
I feel nothing.

And as a lay in bed
for hours on end
I try to create my own
lullaby.

For my dreams
have seemed to run away,
and nightmares
are the only thing that keep my company.
Leaving each night
a never ending race
for sanity.  

Like a sweet breeze,
I whisper
into the silent
soft air
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
And I am reminded that my tongue will never get tired
of the taste of those words.

And every night,
As I watch you walk away,
I can't help but follow.

No matter how long it will be,
your tune
will be stuck in my head.

So for this one last night,
I beg you
too sing me to sleep again,
with your
sweet
sweet
lullaby.
In hopes that one day
I can sing my own.
this one is kinda old and definitely needs some editing, but a friend asked to see it so yes, here it is.

Darling, I've learned it all too well
because I've been in your place
so many times before:
you cannot give your help
to someone who does not want it.

You can only hope that they will
let you share in their joy if it all works out
or cry on your shoulder if it does not.

*he'll come to you when he needs you.
For my best friend who worries about one of our other friends. As do I.

The frustration you get
When you wake up in the middle of the night
And can't fall back to sleep.

You look at the clock,
Hoping,
It'll soon be time to get up.
But then you realize
It's not even near that time.

It's like the sun knows when you're awake and,
Just to be a ******,
Takes its time coming up.

So you lie there...
Trying to get some rest.
You squirm and change positions,
But still...
Nothing happens.

You begin to think about
Your life,
Your future,
The world,
Everything...

Then, all the bad thoughts become worse.
You think...
Maybe something might happen,
Or something may already have happened.

You try harder to fall asleep,
But you can't stop.
Can't stop thinking.
And you feel...
Upset...
Overwhelmed...
And you can do nothing
to stop all the horrible thoughts from coming through.

Then you're at the stage where now,
Your thoughts aren't coming in patterns anymore.
They scatter...
Like a nebula.

So you lie there.
You've given up.
You feel hopeless...
Like no one could ever help you.
So you just wait...
Wait for everything to be over.

— The End —
