you told me there were
enough words in my head
to build skyscrapers
and mountains so high
that they touched God

i told you that your
lightning bolt hands
electrocuted my foggy sleep
and ever since that day
i've been an insomniac

i tried to put lipstick
on the cuts of my mouth
but they left acid burns
so hot they felt baked
so now nobody will kiss them

ever since you left
i've been trying to learn german
so that maybe i'll have more barriers
and add language to distance and time
i'll never speak an english word again.

*(a.m.c.)
("Wir berührt Gott" translates from German to "We touched God")

The first abuses the second and ignores the third.
The third is abused by the fourth, who is afraid of the first.
The first is the role model for the fourth.
The fourth torments the second.
The second is sick and dying, like the third.
The third is wished dead by the fourth.
The fourth wants the same as the third.
The third is a better liar than anyone realizes.
Get it? Yeah.

It's funny how you never cared                
when I told you I was falling      
      until I actually let you in close,
                    close enough to see it happen.
Maybe that moment wasn't as beautiful as I thought it was.
I ******* hate myself.

I've cut up my knees

The tears always seem

Thinner when I bleed
I'm not okay.
And neither is she.
The difference?
She doesn't miss me.
You love them
With all your heart and soul
Yet, you can't be with them
But you'll never let them go...
And it hurts...
Trust me, I know...
People... Stay strong
Someone better may come along
You're thinking..
"But, they're the one I want"
I've thought this too,
Still do...
"Unrequited Love: Life's way of saying you can do better"
But, even if you never end up together
You can still be there for each other
Sometimes, love can be one sided
Don't let that divide you
If you love someone for selfish reasons
Then you love them not at all
Cause when they don't return the love,
A true love will be there to catch them when they fall
Will care, laugh and respect every wish
Will listen after every date, hit or miss
Will wipe away the tears
And brush off the knees
Stick around through the best and worst years
Be a shoulder, when they need somewhere to lean
They may never love you back
Even when you know they should
Love's not meant to be selfish
It's about doing what's right and good

One of the saddest things is
We never got to fly together.
You were the one I could turn to,
When the one I usually turned to
Became unbearably intolerable,
But you never got to roll 'em
While I popped caps off.
So, I ******* hope you're happy,
Because you flew yourself into a tower,
And I'm flapping circles.
And it's funny, because
Everything you did was for everyone else
But me? I just hate myself.

Babe,
your name
has always looked
loveliest
written
in red.
Saw your mom today.

Do you remember what you learned that October?

When I close my eyes
I can still feel your hands on my waist
And I wonder
If you still taste the same
Guys, I'm ******* cold.

DC raw love
these tears that i cry
is the blood from my heart
which is cut from my sins

my wings have now been clipped
as i am now numb with fear
as my feelings come clear

i now count time second by second
drowning an unable to swim
looking for you

trying to shed this skin of sin
to hopefully find you one day

i pray to god everyday to find you
but my wings have been clipped

clippped from the heavens
of a life without you

Everyone leaves
                                                  for lunch break,
           and I'm left here,

questioning my appearance.
Been struggling with anorexia nervosa for years.
Trying to do better. Hopeful I stay that way this time.

I'm afraid of rejection,
so why try?
You terrify me.
I give up.

Maybe I'll turn this into an
actual poem. You know,
when I'm more motivated
than depressed. Ha. Because
that's going to happen.

Ana
I asked Ana to help me,
be my best friend,
she said it would be hard
and once I start
there's no going back,
sometimes,
some people,
take it too far,
and can't stop.
She said there's no telling the outcome.
She's wrong in that sense,
I know the outcome,
the outcome is beautiful.
It doesn't matter if I'm a corpse,
I swear if this kills me
I'm going to be the skinniest corpse
you ever did see.
