If saving the person I love makes me a monster



so be it
It's valentine’s day.
But it’s not like I care.
The smell of teenage “love”
Is filling the air.
Once again I’m alone
In my silent despair.
All I really want
Is for someone to care.
For someone to see
I'm not as bad as before,
For someone to believe
I'm not a monster anymore.

Today
but you

I left
will

a rose
never

for you
see it.

There is no such thing as a calm wave
Waves are not calm
Yes
They may seem shallow to some
And insignificant
But to others,
To others they are capable of destroying
Destroying a home
Destroying a family
Destroying a life
So yes it might seem calm
But look beneath the surface
To those who lie beneath the beauty
Then try to say it’s a calm wave
Just try to.
She was a rose's petal

delicately kissing the wind.

Her scent hung in the air

long after she had been plucked

from her garden.

If it were to only rest upon my hands and breathe through my life..
to posses what others view when they smile fondly on their past
instead..
I feel velvet scars rising
forming into reminders;
my dreams slept were only nightmares
my dreams awake were only mirrors to night
the only one to hold me was my dead teddy bear
cold, stale, mildewed from my tears
suicide preached upon, with words of parents
A happy childhood is all I asked for..
If we can get to look at ourselves through the eyes of another person
we may see what and who we are so that our situation doesn’t worsen.

We spent all our free time alone
and so our time together cost us.
When I write about love
I draw ink
from my own blood.
You see,
Flowers need their
own seeds to bloom.
