Your eyes. So blue.
Almost as blue as the water im drowning in now.

"I fell when I was a little child and a broken glass bottle cut my wrist."
But I knew better.

There is no air.
I am trapped.
I am trapped in an ocean.

Water begging to be let in.
My screaming lungs on the other side refusing with all their might.

Cold cement walls on every side.
Silence.
Millions of tiny cold pieces of rock
for every time I think about you.

Dark forest at every turn.
All the trees look the same.
And no one will hear me for eternity.
Wailing with such weak desperation.

The feeling is close to a thousand wolves ripping me apart.
Claws digging into my selfless blood.

Blades of regret ripping through my broken heart.
Wishing i'd kept it to myself.

It was a mistake.
I am a mistake.

I don't like going to bed.
Because I lay there thinking about you instead.

I feel haunted by your memory to be honest.
I must tell you that these nights are the longest.

I would do anything for you to have never left me.
But now you only exist in my memory.

I Just want you back.
You are the one person that I lack.

Oh the things i'd do to be wrapped in your sobering arms just once more.

I never knew the pain
that such happiness could cause me.
I was awaiting my doom
wasn't I?

Thinking of it as
every minute of happiness
I must now withstand an equal amount of hurt.

I don't want to live my life.
Make new memories.
Accomplish things.
without you.

But we never get what we want
now do we.
We seem to continuously throw our hands in the air in submission
Saying we learned our lesson for next time.

But what if I don't want a next time?

Do you ever wonder how much someone cares?
How many strides they would take to get to you?
How many people they would go over,
How many oceans they would swim.

Do you ever wonder why they stop?
Stop thinking that the suffering is leading them to something worthwhile?
Stop trekking across the flaming sands,
Stop wandering through the never ending forests.

Why?
Were there too many oceans?
Was the water too dark?
Was the sand too hot?
Were the forests too confusing?

I am a map.
And no one seems to be able.
To be able to grasp just how confusing that is.

Am I just not worthwhile?
