I'm fine with harmless flirtation
and meaningless kisses
and innocent moments
of intense weakness
I won't let anything stop it
as long as we're drunk
on the drinks of the night
as long as it feels right
don't worry, I'll be patient
as long as we feel something
and we know it's not all for nothing
as long as there is passion
and sweet flirtation
then I'm not complaining
as long as the drinks are pouring
our bodies are dancing
our mouths are kissing
and the night is heaven

You'd think you hear a sound when the most painful moment in your life passed.
Like you'd actually hear the snap of the tight wire you call your mental stability.
Maybe if you looked hard enough you could find some mark on your body.
Something to tell how much pain you've tried to get through. To get over.
Like how can I hurt this much but not have a wound to show for it?
As if I could mend my mind with medicines and pills
Trying to fix the problems I've been inflicting on myself.
What I've been inflicted with.
I feel like I've had an amputation instead of leaving someone behind.
And every time I think about it the places that I've stitched open up again
and I lie there bleeding.
I wish I could've heard the sound of me breaking when it happened,
To define it as the moment I walked away from someone I loved.
The moment I lost my true happiness. And I wonder, if I'll ever get it back.

It's 4.02am
the usual numbers
flicker on the screen
as I stare
and wonder
clock watching
it becomes an
old habit
a creature of such.

4.03am
glancing at the
time as my
battery dies slowly
it slips away
in the same vein
as my mind that
was lost back in
adolescence on a
sleepless night as I
counted the stars in
the blacked out sky.

4.06am
my mind is alive
fireworks are kicking
to come alight in the
last few moments
before dawn breaks
across the moors and
over the cattle that
fill the fields around me.

4.07am
adverts scream from
the television that
keeps me company
into the hours that
pass surprisingly quickly
which always unsettles
me.

4.08am
am I still real or have I
turned into a nocturnal
varmint of sorts as the
animals and freaks all
come out
at night.

4.12am
I see dusk and dawn
midnight and noon
curtains drawn
my head
falls onto
the pillow as I
hope only
to
sleep.

typo heaven, I do apologize. I am exhausted.

I fell for you
Like a girl falls for a romance novel
Intoxicated
Like a girl after a bit of alcohol
Fixated on you
Like a girl who finds the perfect shoe
Or like a girl
Who finds the greatest perfume

All I can say is
I fell for you
And my feelings are true*
I love you

Some people **** me off
On a daily basis
I'm like, **** girl
You're so ******* basic
With your name calling
And your dumb games
******* friendships up
With those mean tricks

I mean, who are you kidding?
That ain't nice, darling
Picking up rocks
And ditching diamonds
I'm like, what are you doing?

You're trying to be cooler
But the truth is
You could never
You're too basic
For your own health
I suggest
You take those ego pills
Guess what?
I think you're full of it
Trying to be smart
But you ain't ****
You might think you have won
But honey, I'm gonna be the one winnin'
