I've got some bad habits.
I always feel bad,
My family hates me,
And I've never been rad.
Most my friends have been to rehab.
But I like my bad habits.
I'm made of bad habits.
Waking up once a day,
Wasting all my talent,
Sleeping all day,
Thinking all night.
They're all bad habits.
I've always been made of bad habits.
Never had a reason to feel glad,
Too empathetic or apathetic.
Had to quit school cause I went mad,
I tend to love being sad,
and I've never had a dad.
I have some bad habits,
But I love my bad habits.
I love too much,
I'm too alone to have a crush,
And I'm always out of luck,
But I still try anyways.
And they're my bad habits.
I am my bad habits.
how's that for something horrible that's adorable? is it adorable? probably not. **** it.

i'm getting tired of it.
not in an angry way,
it's just taxing,
to do this one-sided back and forth.

Not sooner or later,
Not now, not ever.
I see it sadly now,
I'll never enjoy warm weather.
No more longing nights,

Never bitter.
Never better.
Never,
Never.

No more laughing nights.
You've torn all our tethers.
Not much in mind,
Everything's whatever,

Not sooner or later,
Not now, not ever.
I see it sadly now,
Nothing is forever.
This is a song, it sounds weird in poem form but it works. Kinda.
All pain fades away at least a little with time. You'll be good dude, stop ****** worrying.

i'm not some washed up
****** up
stupid romantic.
you're not some grown up
flawless stud
who only eats organic.
don't assume that
i'm an unloved
drugged up
hopeless delinquent.
that said,
i am  manically eclectic
extremely sarcastic
and definitely too pedantic
but i'm candid
and i try
to take nothing for granted
and use whatever i'm handed.
so please *******.
thanks.
i'm sorry if you read this.
i am so, so sorry.

We're playing cards.
You're queen of hearts,
I'm heart of shards.
You're a work of art.
I'm caught off guard,
writing about regular hands seemed too basic. my hipster complex is getting worse.

echoes of ****** ghost town mysteries
  devolving into our lonely synergy
where we can constantly misdemean each other in our gutter schemes
of battling anger with dreams,
  never again to split the seams,
   never again to be seen

please, hear my plea.
i never knew what we could or couldn't be.
  i just wish you could see me
   i am what you almost are and yet everything you're not,
tie my tongue, twist my heart, knot it up and let it rot

"maybe i'll get shot" we stockpiled musings on dying young,
seemingly out of all the time we thought we bought
you are an alleyway thought bay,
  forever haunting me enough to keep all my other ghosts away

  "the world is ending in all my dreams"
  i crushed what i had left of you, you'd never let me stay
we were a walking paradox, never nothing,
always but a dream never to be siezed

"we"
what a lonely synergy

Emotions I feel are just like clumsy words,
And my brain smells like a bookstore.
My dreams are like one-winged birds,
Like expert detectives with nothing to look for.
.-. --- .... .--. .- - . --
My opinions, unbiased and unheard,
Are heavy yet biting, like the strike of a claymore.
My comforts aren't all empty words,
Understanding and kindness are all I aim for.
