You are the flower I didn't pick.
       *I simply planted myself next to you,

                *So that at least we can grow together.
This was based on a quote I've seen multiple times about treating the one you love like a flower, not to pick it if you don't want it to die. I found a much better alternative.

and in another universe,
you and I are still together.
In physics there's a theory on multiverses and it states that there could be an infinite number of universes that are similar to ours, which is beautiful to think about.

DC raw love
In the land of love and hurt
Life holds no reason for what we gain

The love of hurt
The hurt of love

They come in a pair
So please beware

We hurt the ones we love
We love the ones we hurt

We execute our hurt for love
yet
Surrender our love for hurt

We try to sweep our hurt under the door
yet
We let our love fall between the cracks

A Love For Hatred
I saw forever in your eyes. . .


                Then you closed them.
Wrote this when I found out my husband was in love with another woman.

I guess I won that stupid fight of "I love you more."

How do I escape my own hell
there is no way out that I can tell
I'm lost in the torment of fear
The roars of my demons is all I hear

I don't know how to get out
All I do is get lost about
Til I crumple to the ground
Giving up because there is no hope to be found

This hell of mine is claiming me whole
I will eventually take the toll
They will soon catch up to me
My demons face to face with me

I am close to caving in to their demands
Lost is this land
Of my own personal hell
Though reality and this have no difference as far as I can tell
Some more thoughts I picked up while pondering

Next To Me

Excuse me if I write my style,

Excuse me if I shoot a smile,

Towards your direction,

I can't help but question what went wrong,

And excuse me if I stare for too long,

I guess it's true, what I said about you being so beautiful,

And every time I write a love poem it hurts,

Like a thousand needles stabbing me at once,

But the one that hurts the most is the on that shoots my heart,

Cause I remember the time we said I love you,

I remember the late nights, with some but not many verbal fights,

It was like, we were on a cloud in flight,

Moving just right,

And every night I say it to myself,

I lost the most precious thing I ever gained,

And you took a chance with me, to let us be,

But I guess another go is too much to ask for,

But know I still think of you, still dream of you,

But if I can't get you back then this thing I felt was not real,

Will soon be,

Cause i am here and your not next to me.

she just wanted to feel pretty
so she sliced her wrists to ease the pain
the blood was a beautiful sight to see
than lipstick pressed on lips with vain

"one day", she said "one day i'll be
the one so perfect, the ideal, the real me
with the body, the face, the skin and hair,
the ones who called me ugly, will never dare"

before she could even break into a smile
her eyes stopped moving and her mouth went dry
with the very last breath that left her lips
her body went lifeless, and so she died

Raindrops~

you are the raindrops
that patters through my rooftop,
gently sliding on my window
creating a short-lived ripple
that slowly goes away

if only I can make you stay.

I, on my window
watching the pale sky,
with winds and clouds so dreary
and a soul starting to get weary

It's been a dark, lonely day,
and I've been waiting
for the sun to come out and stay

you are the raindrops
that gone away
no words or sound as you
fall to the ground

I, on my window
watching you vanish
without saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
