I keep adding love songs to your playlist

I have to stop myself from writing about you
Because then it would make these feelings real
You already told me you don’t love me
But I still don’t believe you

Under the same sky.

You don’t see me the same way as you used to,
And it’s all because of me,
I wanted too much too quickly
I wanted you to want me.

It was just such a rare feeling
So I knew it was real
Out of everyone I had met
You made my heart heal

I didn’t know how to feel
I didn’t know why
But I guess... it’s okay
Atleast were under the same sky.

Pretending

I'm tired of pretending day after day,
     So lost in my lies I can't find my way...
It drains your energy, thinking you're okay
     When you can't get out of bed to face the day...
What happens when I believe the lie?
      That's the goal right?
To feel until you can feel no more.
     Born to die.
Life until death, chaos until calm.
     Restlessness until you can pace no more.
You want the real me? Here I am in all my disappointing failure.
     Welcome to life, pretend until it becomes your reality.

Final GoodBye

This is my final goodbye
It's hard for me to see you walking by with that other guy
Even though your heart didn't feel the same way
but I'm glad you brought me joy
Time kept moving forward
but I kept standing still
Waiting for you to feel the same way
but I guess such things only happen in dreams
So, that's why this is my final goodbye to you
It's time for me to move along with time
and say goodbye to this bittersweet dream that kept me tied

Unworthy

Do you know
How dreadful it is
To be horribly upset
Mourning
Over absolutely
Nothing?
It’s full of angst
Unfocused, blind rage
And the guilt,
When I can feel anything at all,
Is overwhelming
Because I don’t deserve
To waste these sad words
They should belong to those
Who have earned them

sick

i've made myself sick
my stomach turns in knots
i haven't eaten...
in a long time
and i just keep pouring
more and more chemicals
down my raw throat
because maybe one
will make the demons
SHUT UP
for a moment

I'm fine just dumb

You only miss me
when you want to miss me and
it's taking its toll

Are You Ready?

When
I find you ,
Believe me
I will know

I will feel your
Spirit in my skin
We will alter reality
And
Create forever

Do not hide your face
From me
If you think I am the one.
I can go there if you’re ready
But are you ready?

Who
Are you if you are ready
If you’re ready, I’ll be ready
Make me your art
Make  my heart as one with
Your own beating heart

I can already see where
We begin and we haven’t
even begun

It seems like
You’re already familiar
With the sun
Unafraid of the Sky

Matter of fact just lay
Just stay a little bit longer
Let’s watch how the tides rise
How I rise a little bit stronger
Watch a little magic in the sky
Watch how the vibes rise
A little bit deeper
Penning poetry to your
Heart beat

Art speaks in tongues
Your mouth so beautiful
Life is beautiful
So ugly so beautiful
A billion holes in my heart
But  it still bleeds sun

Take from my heart
Warm yourself
With the longing
Can I set in your arms
Rise again in the morning
But only if you’re ready
Are you ready?
I don’t want you to pretend
I want you to be sure
Are you’re ready ?

Who are you
If you’re ready?

When your heart
Knows for certain
I’ll be right here
Waiting to be read
As
We dance the night away

only
If  you’re ready
Are you ready ?

narcissism

i spent my life trying to please
someone with a twisted disease
i broke myself down
and tucked my feelings away
to become the person
they wanted me to be
i let myself be watched
through the glass of a two sided mirror
of a sociopath
i wallowed my spirit away
and begged for acceptance
but there’s nothing in the world
that i could do
to let the narcissist know
that i am human too

the only thing that can please a narcissist is being miserable

Loss

I used to be afraid.
Of what? I wonder.

Now that everything is gone.
