I wish love destroyed you,
But it doesn't do you that courtesy,
It wounds and maimes you,
And it leaves you alive,
It doesn't do you the justice of a mercy killing,
We bleed again and again,
The scars come and never leave,
Forever altered by all of the moments,
Love isn't poetic,
Love is the cache 22 that reminds us that even if you're in heaven right now,
The devil used to also be god's favorite angel,
And hell isn't so far away after all.

Life Lessons

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
Money in the pocket of the biggest shareholder

Day by day, we grow older
Love is lost, hearts grow colder

So while you still can, you should hold her
Say what you feel, before you wish you'd told her

Don't stash your dreams away, in that folder
As you care less what they think, you'll get bolder

Listen to those, who need a shoulder
Let her live, don't try to mold her

Don't sell your soul, for something golder

All Too Familiar Demon

Shaking and crying uncontrollably,
I'm so dreadful right now.
Anything is more appealing
than sitting with me
in this state.
You sigh and pull me in close.
Just breathe
you whisper.
You've gotten through this before.
And you're right.
This demon has been with me
for years.
How the hell do I get rid of it?

You're tired of taking care of me,
I know.
But I'm afraid you'll leave.
Please don't leave me alone
with myself,
with this monster.
I'm terrified of what it will
make me do when you walk
out the door.

But you do anyways.

Why did you leave me while I was having an anxiety attack?

Crystal Tears

Streaming down
like a flowing river
on your perfect
rose colored cheeks
are the tears that
glisten and shine
from sadness and
pain throbbing
through your
broken body.
Tears like the
most gorgeous
diamonds filled
with despair and
lost hope.

One of the worst things in life is when someone doesn't love you back.
You have so much love to offer them,
But sadly they don't see you the way you see them.
No one can be forced to love us, but it still hurts.
Sometimes it's not because of something you don't have
But they just don't love you back.
Some of us cannot accept this terrible truth,
So we blame other things, other people,
And we try to find some sort of explanation for this atrocity
And that's when we go insane
