Although I love to swim in a sea
of thoughts, hopes, and dreams,
I often drown.

I said my biggest fear is forgetting
But oh how I wish you were just another face in the crowd

It's a shame falling for the
wrong people
thinking they were the
right ones.

he was like a star

so beautiful from afar


until i got too close

he melted my heart

i knew it was wrong from the start

but he was such a beautiful work of art

until i got too close

and he tore me apart.

*i no longer see the beauty in stars. All i can see now, is how easily they can burn your soul if you get too close.
people have been asking if i talk about a certain person in my poetry, to answer you; i mostly don't. About 95% just comes from imagination. ** <3

People scare me,
They feel so much,
When they know so little,
They try to control,
When they can't do it themselves,
Love or destruction,
Both are the same they just are different words,
One mans Hero is another ones villain,
With this mentality no wars can be won,
And now everything that's is done,
Can't be undone.

Don’t fall in love with me.
There are days when I get sad without a reason and I just stare at the ceiling with tears streaming down my face.

Don’t fall in love with me.
On those days, I don’t talk to anyone. I just bury myself in my bed and think about how I became this mess of sadness.

Don’t fall in love with me.
I will become attached to you and I will cry myself to sleep if you don’t text me good night before you go to sleep and I will convince myself that it’s because you got tired of me.

Don’t fall in love with me.
I’m too much. I will depend on you. I need attention, much more than other people. I’ll talk to you in metaphors and make you one. I’ll write poems about you and opening up my skin at 2 A.M.

Don’t fall in love with me.
I couldn’t stand you coming home to find me on the bathroom floor shaking and crying, with blood spilling from my wrists. I couldn’t stand seeing the disappointment in your eyes.

Don’t fall in love with me.
I will pour everything I’ve left of me into you, every bit of love, until I have nothing to give. Until I become completely empty.

Don’t fall in love with me.
I’m scared that my sadness is contagious.

Don’t fall in love with me.
I will replay your sweet words in my head when I hate myself so much that I want to die. Your words will be the only thing that make me stay.

Don’t fall in love with me.
You will live in fear. You won’t be able to leave me, because you’d know if you did, I wouldn’t have anything to live for.

Don’t fall in love with me.
Before I met you, there wasn’t a single person who could’ve made me stay. You’re my reason now.

Don’t fall in love with me.
Because I will fall in love with you.

I used to be an instrument that played harmonious sounds when its
strings were touched by others.

Until one day you came along
and tried to play me
But it turns out your fingers were knives that 'broke my strings'.
A little reference is made from the book 'Paper Towns' by John Green.  The strings inside me broke... And the instrument cannot play like it used to anymore.

"You deserve more than him," they said.

"There's someone better for you," they said.

But, what if that 'someone better' never comes
And he's the best that I'll ever have?

Why do we spend our time thinking of those who won't even take a second to think about us?

Why do waste all our love on people who won't even give us the smallest piece of their hearts?

Why do we even have the slightest hope in them?

Why do we even think that they're worth missing?
Some of life's hardest questions.

Words can hurt,
But the silence kills me.
