The grinding floors
and pounding doors
cannot keep me anymore.

I have retired from this
apartment named ironically "Bliss."
You, my fair neighbors,
all shall be missed.

It's as if the summer never came
A cold winter storm
And according to you
I was to blame

It's as though the world covered in snow
An icebox heater
And according to you
I should know

It's like a mountainous glacier settled
Our hearts buried beneath
And according to you
I'm who melted

It's as though your soul froze me out
A cold, burning hailstone
And according to me
It's your turn to pout
It was the
RIGHT
Thing to do
Why do I feel so

WRONG?

Soul Survivor
I just feel as though my heart is broken in a zillion places!

Walls collapse
Bridges crumble

Letters burn
Voices fade

Ringing stops
Bodies shiver

This is life
And death is her sister
late nights, early sunsets
used tissues, empty bottles
dry eyes, soaked sleeves
puffy eyelids, shaking hands

broken heart, empty thoughts
its all because of you

People talk about it all the time
but it wasn't a reality til today.
I'm ******* ******, I'm tired of using other people's words
All these phrases are cliches, mindless placations and all that can run through my mind is *******, and that's not how I feel, that's how everyone else who goes through these things feels, I don't feel like this, it didn't happen, this didn't happen, even that's a cliche, I just want to use my own words, but everything important's already been said and I just want to stop using english because all of these words have been used and it's not fair, why can't I use my own words to describe my mental state? Every euphemism is pointless, that's not what these things are, there's no way to say it, my mind doesn't look like it's supposed to right now, it hurts, but it doesn't, it's numb, it's nonexistent, I don't want to keep using these pointless words, this was supposed to be a poem.
It was supposed to be a poem. It was supposed to have an ending. A real one. A beginning a middle and an end. It's cut off in the middle of a sentence just like that ******* book and why do I have so many ******* relative quotes but no real quotes of my own? Someone called it bad timing but there's no good time but really some are better than others but actually when is the best hour to **** yourself?
our brains are only
soggy ventriloquist creeps
who never leave home
