I've probably been walking for a few hours now,

I swear I can feel the ground more with every step I take,

It's funny though, I've seen every inch of this town,

Yet I'm not aware, nor do I care, where I am this late,

The only thing I seem to care about these days,

Is the image if her eyes, earthly and lively,

It's stuck in my mind, ever since that day in May,

Like, do you remember that time when we

got caught in the rain at the park, and we kissed,

I do, it's probably the most painful thing to miss,

This is likely pretty cliché, but I don't think I've ever

seen something more beautiful than you when then rain

came down on us both and we both looked in each other's eyes,

I told you that would be cheesy, but it's just not the same

when I wake up and not remind you of your beauty,

I'm writing these poems, hoping you're thinking of me,

Lately, I've been hoping maybe, that you're not angry,

And that you don't hate me, and that you'll save me,

This feels so unfair, you're the story of my whole book,

but to you, I'm just a chapter, a fish you didn't hook,

I'm screaming, but it's like nobody is listening,

And I'm getting carried away with this poem,

I don't even know what direction I'm trying to go anymore,

I should probably get to the point, this is getting redundant,

So if you ever read this, I need you to look inside,

If there's anything left, I need you to let me know,

I'm dying and my life's getting colder than the snow below,

My feet are getting numb, so if your heart still hums,

To the song we once sang, please end this long day,

Before I walk till I fall, before it's too late.

I open the door, the wind blows

and that that graphite bear flies out

on to the street, and I give chase,

I don't know why, but I don't think I could live without

It's just a picture, but it means so much to me,

I flip the sheet, "I love you",

****, I instantly begin to choke,

My eyelids become a reservoir of heartbreak and pain

when the tears start to fill them, and they won't drain,

Why is this so hard?

I think I dropped my guard,

I never knew I could be so broken,

Yet, not a word has been spoken,

Nobody knows that I've become hollow,

The missing part seems to far away now,

I'm chasing it like a present with a bow

as if it's gonna wait for me under that tree in the morning,

I must come off as pretty pathetic as you read this,

Why would anyone ever allow themselves to drop this low?

I don't even know, but it's like my feet are in the snow

I wanna pull them out, but I can't, but why?

Probably for the same reason I can't bring myself to throw away

these pictures that I've kept from you,

Probably for the same reason that I cherish these things so much,

The same reason why I'm holding these ******* things so close to my heart,

And that's another thing, these pictures are paradoxical,

They're the only thing that seems to make me happy,

Yet every time I look at them, my emotions seem to burst from my insides,

The tears start falling from my face, my heart starts to race,

I wish you could just see that I would do anything for you,

You left you're mark on my heart, it's  like you're in charge

of my life, and I think I'm okay with that,

All I want to do is hold your hand and jump out

of this plane with you and land in some exotic land,

Explore the world together, and I wouldn't even care

if we had to sleep on the street, because I'd have you to hold,

God, I must sound ridiculous, right?

I'm young, why do I feel the way I do?

Probably because I need someone to fall on to,

Probably because I'm afraid of losing everything

And everything is you,

Probably because of love,

And I forgot to rhyme,

******.

It feels  like I've been awake for three days,

My mind's cluttered, my life's fluttered

By like some butterfly lost in the waves

Of reality, I'm feeling lost and troubled,

Maybe I'm going crazy, my vision's hazy,

All they say is "he's been a bit down lately",

They're disconnected from my struggle,

They think I'm good as I've ever been,

They only see the smiles that I smuggle,

Out from the static black hole that is my soul,

The only thing that seems to fix me is seeing,

That pretty little lady sitting near me,

Then I leave, my body's a tree, and my emotions are the leaves,

They fall off, I'm dead and naked, left alone and bleeding,

My heart's aching, hands are shaking,

The life I've been making is falling apart with every minute that I've been forsaken,

My head's held under and I'm suffocating, I'll need resuscitation,

'Cause every breath I'm taking is is the stake in

My chest, and and for God's sake it's not gonna stop,

I'm stuck with this, I guess it's just the grand plot,

That this painful life of mine has been following,

So I suppose I'm just supposed to know,

That in the end I'm gonna get what I get,

And just like that my  life's set,

On a one way trip bound for suffering and let's not forget,

That there was once a time when I could stand tall,

When I wasn't sure if I could ever fall

Down to this low level that I find my self at now,

But that's just the way it is.

— The End —
