I want to believe in the heart



The heart that feels the sin
Mar 8 · 30

Well ****
S Mar 8
Growing up you realise that running away isn’t actually sprinting full pell-mell through a forest

It’s a hollow room once lived in, stacked full of boxes
Some half full and others bursting
And silence echoing
Just bouncing off the walls
Looking for a place to be
The sharp sound of a tape dispenser cutting though it
Bubble wrap shuffling
Hoping that nothing else but your heart breaks on the way

I’ve picked myself up many times, but
sweeping up fine china is never fun ..
Okay I’m being a little dramatic, leaving is not breaking my heart because I’m going home!
Packing is painful though and I’ve been doing it a little too much the past few years
But I’ve grown to hate this place and people in it
I hate who I am here too

*Cue the angsty lyrics from my teen years that are still stupidly relevant*:

I’M LOSING SLEEP
I’M LOSING FRIENDS
GOT A LOVE HATE LOVE WITH THE CITY IM IN
I’LL COUNT THE HOURS
HAVING JUST ONE WISH
IF IM DOING FINE
THERE’S NO POINT TO THIS
S Mar 7
Sunlight shines on my colour pencils
Bright, varied, and hue
A cat catches sight of a pigeon
Amongst the neighbours blooms

*
Spring is here
We can breathe now
S Mar 7
I miss the essence of him so bad that I’m willing to beg
It would seem I have a desperation inside of me that threatens to escape .. and tear down the crumbly walls of my castle
Some part of me really doesn’t mind
S Mar 7
You can never run away from yourself
So who am I running from?

What did my crazy, innocent heart ever do to end up in such an imperfect vessel?
Feb 21 · 37
It’s okay
S Feb 21
I guess I accept

I’m just weak enough to crack
But to never fall apart

A small hairline etches itself onto the tea cup of my life
But I keep sipping, and relishing in the warmth of its contents
Still perfectly contained
Even though my finger absentmindedly brushes over the ridges
Created by my carelessness

Nothing more than a passing thought
A fleeting touch
One fine evening
Feb 21 · 19
I know who I am
S Feb 21
I would like to write something about home
Something nice

I just have to work out where that is first ..

Technically born a nomad
But with relations firmly rooted in the soil that feels softest to me

It’s in me to search
My blood shows me the way ..
*

Though I am still searching for my worldly home,
I am journeying to the end of earth and up to the heavens
My final resting place with God
I hope to return to this soon .. perhaps when my heart feels more open
Feb 21 · 38
Release me from myself
S Feb 21
The devil and God are raging inside me
Feb 21 · 44
Tear out your heart
S Feb 21
These days I feel more anger than sadness
Never let myself lose control
Like punching a wall, breaking everything around me
But it feels really tempting now

To see the destruction inside myself
To see it in front of me
To see it in the flesh
For it to feel real

Would it make me feel any different?
Or it just release masked as more pain? Because in that case, my cup is overflowing and my bladder is full

Just look at you
Nothing but a mess
A mess
A mess
A mess

I thought I was getting better
Can you feel the pain now? Can you feel it? Are you ******* PLEASED?
TELL ME IT WAS WORTH IT?
Just once
Tell me it was all worth it
Feb 21 · 25
Sigh
S Feb 21
Like a firm punch to the gut
You do that one thing
That thing
Where you aim for the side
But some invisible force
More commonly known as your ******* self
I’m sorry
I should say “ Very human weakness “
Drags that fist back the centre
And you hit yourself where it hurts

The pain used to be worth the pleasure
The pleasure
Always worth the pain
The pain
Never worth the pleasure
The pleasure
Never worth the pain
Wait
Where was I again?
Who do I apologise to?
Apologies obviously mean nothing to me
Because I accept them
And that’s it

This is a simple song
S Feb 21
and one day your happy song becomes laced with melancholy
But you notice that it sounds the same either way

So I guess it boils down to the fact that:

If your vision is pure, then the world is pure
It’s quiet, stormy, and I never broke the cycle
So let’s run
Run run run run run run run
S Feb 16
I have a voice .. but it keeps getting lost in the ether

Blood of a pomegranate
S Feb 16
The weight of my desire, heavy, like obsidian

How many times will I be burnt by my own skin?
Feb 16 · 34
How have you been?
S Feb 16
Y’know, same old same old
Feb 16 · 31
John..
S Feb 16
The patina of your leather against my cheek
Just makes me want to hold on tighter when you ride

Spare change adds up

Separation is a poets wealth
Feb 16 · 33
So what now?
S Feb 16
I’m cold
And you’re disappointing
S Feb 16
What would have happened if I never ran away?
S Feb 16
Lost in the throes of desire..so  
Haunted      after last night

But I said I’ll bite

And now I can’t put out the fire

I’m burning
I’m burning
I’m burning

Up
You ****** me
Up

You ****** me
You’re ******

my life seems to keep coming full circle
I suppose I only have myself to blame

ghostly and ghastly, I linger at the table like a harsh whisper
the old halloween decoration that never got taken down
i always felt like it was better to not let people into my life. it was better for people not to know me. It's just better that way, right?

Listening to Pianos become the teeth.
I'm still 13 and lying on the floor of my childhood bedroom
the rims of my eyes, underlined pink with shed tears

I so desperately want to be held but I can’t take being hugged these days
When did everything get so broken and confusing and broken and broken and broken and confusing and

Food for thought
S Dec 2024
If I took a bite out of myself, would I taste like pomegranate and figs or rotting flesh?
Kinda punny? : D
S Dec 2024
and so my fluttering stream of consciousness leaves me open and bare to judgment and stares

as if my actions didn’t already beat it to the chase
Sitting on the edge of my bed, can my already disturbed slumber bring me peace?

Your stomach aches under the weight of your desire and pressure of your sin

Lingering
S Dec 2024
The bathroom is ice cold and the house silent
bass popping in your ear
One splayed hand gripping one tensed thigh
Your nails dig in, lilac pretty
-
You *** and it feels warm
So you fight the urge to slip your cold hand under the stream
-
A hard stare in the mirror, seeing too much and nothing much at all
-
You thought it was just that sleep evaded you but something much bigger was chasing you, leaving you
too
All too often
All too much
-
Here you are again.
Does it feel good?
Did it ever feel good?
-
It did
Of course it did

How do I break the spell?
I can feel his teeth on the inside of my wrist, I can hear his voice in my ear, I can feel his magic keeping me alive, I can feel myself slipping away into realms unknown

a special affair
S Oct 2024
It’s the knife in my own holster .. and the blood spilt holds no value either
All this hurt comes from my own hand .. I betray myself and gain nothing from it
S Sep 2024
My memories are all I have and I can feel them fading
Unravelling
Slowly dissipating .. the silt of my emotions slipping into realms unknown

i feel distant from myself
i feel distant from God
i don't feel like a friend
-
this has to be self torture right?
it is my hand that is crushing my windpipe RIGHT?
-
i know everything is by the hand of God
but it feels like i'm hurting myself badly these days
but the pain hurts so good
sometimes it doesn't even feel like pain
that's the problem
the lines are so blurred between the two that i can't see where anything begins or ends anymore
-
how these lines get crossed
how everything blurs into one
how i am slowly making a descent into nothingness
how fast i am fading..
-
it feels like i'm free falling
and the hand of God, invisible and mighty, cushions me and slowly, very slowly is lowering me down
so i'm not falling..
i'm not crazy

my old friend, Im not sure much has changed
what else did i expect
from myself?
from life?
from others?
i don't know
i-

there's so much i want to say but at the same time i find myself silent
i find myself zoned out
seeing the curser blink every so often

-

why am i always hurting
why does it always feel like i'm on the other side of everyone else
why am i always begging
it feels like everything that i want demands my blood, sweat and tears and even then it's not enough, i still don't get it
i mean **** it, i don't even want or need half of what i want
i just
why does everything feel so difficult for me???
raw and insufferable complaints
S Feb 2024
i think i blink too much or
much too slow
it seems that i can never let enough of life's light in
and i want to let the light in
i so desperately want to let the light in
Feb 2024 · 103
i'm so sorry
S Feb 2024
nothing is the same
nothing was ever the same again

everything has changed
everything just changed

everything in my life has claw marks on it

my silence is the pain that makes me crazy, yet it is also the salve that makes me soulful
S Feb 2024
always looking over my shoulder
always keeping an ear free
always opening the window just so I can breathe
S Feb 2024
you once told me that I make you feel the most alive
but that i have an amazing ability to make you feel really alone

I understand now
at the time, i said "that's really beautiful" and he said "its's the truth. The truth is beautiful"

How fleeting is the sound of the neighbours hammering
And how sustained is our rage at the sound of it
S Jul 2023
why can't I shake this terrible feeling
of feeling so lost and stuck
I don't know what to do with myself\I can't even think straight anymore

I've never felt more confused about everything and i think i've just shut down

I just don't see a way out
I just don't know what to do

Life has a light that never fades but we just keep closing our eyes for too long

I think my wasted potential is really a heartbreak
I have so much to give to the world but nothing useful wills to pour out of me
I feel frozen

I don’t know how to unlock myself at all
