i never knew
Em Jul 2019
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?
Em Jul 2019
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?

forget it
Em Jul 2019
It's fine.
Get over it.
Forget looking into his cold blue eyes.
Turning and him looking at you with a stupid smile.
Forget how he made you feel.
Noticing things about you no one else took the time to look at.
Forget the trust.
The faith you had in him.
Forget it all.
It wasn't there for long anyway.

hear me
Em Jul 2019
I'm silent.
But i'm screaming.
Screaming to scare the madness away.
Screaming to warn my past self not to make the same mistake.
No one hears it. Not even me.

anything else
Em Jul 2019
Taking deep breaths doesn't help me.
Replacing you with meaningless people doesn't help.
Distracting myself with friends doesn't make all of our memories disappear.
Missing you doesn't go away.

it's funny
Em Jul 2019
It's funny.
How I sit here in this chamber of frost.
Complete frigidness.
Nothing.
Nothing left.

It's funny.
How my grieving mind
Is struggling over all of our happy memories.
How foolish I was.

It's funny.
How the one person I ever truly loved
slaughtered the mended piece of me.
Not once.
But again.
Because watching me inhale the suffocating.
raging.
destructing waters
that is heartbreak is so amusing.

It's funny.
How "I could never hate you"
I once said with confidence,
I now say the opposite.
Who knew that was even possible.

It's funny.
How for a moment
What the oblivious call life
Dissolves into nothingness as I remember.
What once was.
And what will never be.

It's funny.
How the tears creep around the edge of my lower eyelid.
Threatening to burst out.
Letting out all of my secrets and emotions with a weak roar.

It's funny.
How this is where I end up again.
The eternal love you once saw.
Pulverized.
Into less than powder.

It's funny.
How I wonder how the sun even dares to rise again.
Appalled at the rest of the world moving on without me.
Watching how I was once a part of them.
But happiness leaves behind the ones
That are incapable of feeling it anymore.

It's funny.
Because he said he would never be able to get over you,
Because he said he would love you forever.
Because he said you would be the one to move on first.

It's funny.
Because 3 weeks later.
He has a replacement.
A new memory generator.

It's funny.
How I lay restless at night.
While he laughs with someone else.
Probably someone who isn't as ****** up as I am.
Someone who is worthy of being loved by someone as.
Someone as cruel. Someone as wicked as he is.

It's funny.
How it isn't.

honestly.
Em Jun 2019
we are so centralized on what we look like through the eyes of others, that we forget to look through our own **** eyes for a change.

absolute worst.
Em Jun 2019
You are frantically flailing your arms in the sea of “I like you’s” and “You are amazing’s”
Gasping for just.
One.
Breath.
That's all you wish for.
But no.
You are forced by the mangled hands of the universe to watch in utter despair as the one you love loses interest.
Day after day, seeing the replies get shorter and shorter.
That deep, dark, flawless affection slowly slugging down those white walls of purity.
Knowing you’ve played this **** game before.
But you still drag your limp, broken heart away with the same result.
Same feeling.
Your wide-eyed self trusting this time will be different,
but realizing you were wrong.
The thinking back and forth,
the not knowing anything but the fact that your thoughts are your absolute worst enemy.
How about wondering if there was something you could still do to save
yourself?
But with the struggles of life all around you,
already suffocating you beyond limits,
you can’t find the energy to sound the words.
You sit back and stare at the sight of your shattered body scrambling for one sight of light.
Watching as the soft and gentle waves of pure anxiety lapse over your expressionless face,
Resembling the tiny pieces of snow that fall to the ground causing you to hear the last crack.
Not being able to look away at the sight of your entire existence crumbling into an avalanche like state as if it never existed in the first place.
Feeling the last layers of your hearts walls peel away,
freeing themselves
from self inflicted hurt. At least they are free.

— The End —
