Perhaps it wasn’t the drugs,
Perhaps it wasn’t the persona—
Perhaps it wasn’t the cuts.
Maybe I liked being high,
Maybe I liked role play,
Maybe I liked the fact your scars made mine feel seen.

Late at night dressed for funeral knowing you were never coming,
Laughing hysterically as you say you can’t.
Now let me tell you something about being able to.

Self made self proclaimed alcoholic thanks babe
I used to need hoping, then I needed loving.
**** that I need saving
Need saving but you don’t care about me drowning, keep swimming
I’ve done this before and I’ll do it again.

Straight chugging ***** drowning on the coldness,
Self medicating the self induced pain,
Admit it wasn’t your fault, it was mine for thinking you’d be different

Downed every bottle I’m seeing different
Downed jealousy ily be different
Downed myself thought you were different.

You were my first everything but you too worried about whose first I was
Pretty lips, luscious hair, **** I’m imprisoned.

Three handles didn’t help forget you, just reminded me even more
Phone in my hand, thumbs dancing, handle charged and piece loaded.

Prove me you’re different, 20 shots through my brain ain’t feeling.
Show me I’m different, pills in my system ain’t feeling.
Make this different, love in my heart I’m feeling.

It’s one am and I’m still wasting my time **** drinking.
It’s two am and I’m still chasing you ******* feelings.
It’s three am and I’m still alone in bed **** living.

I just want you to want me, hold me, love me
The way you did, the way you did the night I fell in love.

Should the sky fall, the sun burst, the oceans wither—
I’ll be here ready to have our final dance together.

Sometimes at night I feel blue, could be the cold, alcohol or lack of you,
But the night you made me red, I had never been so happy to be embarrassed,
Because the butterflies, the heat and the surprise of your love,
Mean more to me than your nights of insomnia, smoke and stropping.

When the heavens fall and you find yourself being pulled down,
When dark clouds cease your air while you gape for survival,
When your cup runs dry and you see the reflection of your broken self,
I’ll be home, home wishing you’d call.

… text, signal, fall into my arms.

I’m sorry I tell you to ******* and disappear
I don’t mean to hurt you but it’s who you didn’t want me to be.

I’m sorry I’m sick,
I don’t mean to burden you more than I already have but growing up you told me we all had a purpose and for once I’m finishing what I started.

I was a stubborn kid with loose pants and no pockets, meaning no ***** taken and all hands all out on you
But even then you never got rid of me which ***** with my mind because why would you wanna be with me?

Yeah I guess you must be proud I ain’t drop out but I remember we up at 3 studying so I wouldn’t have to,
I’m just sorry you can never really hear what I’m saying
On one hand I want you to understand me but on the other I don’t want you to feel bad for me.

You tell me I was God’s greatest gift then tell me what the **** does that ****** know about life?
He planed a life of real tragedy, ******, shots gangsters and pacts for me but here we are instead I’m just suffering inside. And trust me take a moment I do wanna say how I’m thankful for all I was given, I just wish you didn’t have to live this life with me.

I’m sorry you had to find me on the floor,
I’m sorry you had remodel your life for me,
I’m sorry you had to be there when they diagnosed me,
I’m sorry you had to be there to see me mad,
I’m sorry Mama,
and I love you with all my heart.

On a rainy winter night, us equally as lonely and sober
Found each other like a match made in heaven.
You trying to get the ***** from me and me, just trying to get you.
We stopped as you held my hand and I kissed you.
Sure we had our ups and downs, but all I wish I could do is go back in time and find you on a different day,
On a different day when we could be together
On a different day when I would appreciate you
On a different day when I would say I love you.
I can’t deny you are the reason I cry myself to sleep every night, **** it doesn’t have to be this complicated, take my hand and we’ll surf this wave.
But all the miscommunication, me alone and sober or accompanied and drunk.
I let my guard down when I met you,
How could I not?
You were the girl of my dreams.
And at the end of every fight I cried because I just wanted you to be alive,
I was tired of meeting other personalities, I wanted my V and my V only.
I convinced myself we weren’t meant to be because that was easier,
Easier than saying I love you.

We don’t talk anymore and I doubt we ever will but in case you were wondering I’m good don’t worry,
I just...
Love the feeling of the blade too much,
How easily is cuts, like you through my heart.
I pull the handle back and let it bleed, as I watch from above, the cells of my “perfect self” slowly drip out.
I pour myself to sleep because it’s easier than imagining you moving on, and though you say it was hard, you will never understand what’s like to love someone who doesn’t give a **** about you.

Every time I cry I grab myself a bottle, and when I’m liquored up I feel it,
I feel it so strongly that I can point out the pain,
Don’t save me from myself, I’ve always been fine on my own.

I wish I could hold you one last time before I forget what’s like to love,
And don’t worry,
You always thought I drank too much,
You and my doctor both,
But I realized drinking won’t **** me, loving you will.

I used to be upset I could not fall in love,
God looked tired at me and said,
“Here you go then.”
He gifted me an angel, an angel so pure she never spoke,
A glance stopped my heart,
A smile melted my heart,
A look just, filled it.
In a day I noticed her
In a week I liked her
In a year I bought her a ring
In two years I planned our wedding
In three years I gave the wrong girl her ring.

I can’t change anything,
If I could I would be asleep,
But I won’t rest til I fix what I did to you,
All I wanted was a new chance and the big man looked down at me and said yes,
He told me, “life is too short to wait,”
So I just went over to your house, I guess you could say I was very “50/50”
We never finished it but I’ll tell you, he beat it,
He got the girl and they lived happily after,
I left in the middle so I wouldn’t give you hope, I loved you so much that I couldn’t see you cry,
I’m sorry, I really am but, I love you.

The angel was gone,
She saw the real in me and flew away,
I can still see her looking at me, never did I even imagine that was the final look she would give me,
Like I didn’t imagine that was the last time you’d fight for me.

I never know where I’m supposed to go,
You say I don’t apologize for the right things so I’ll tell you what
I chose the wrong girl.

The fool in me could not fight for you, but at least I think we got one thing settled, you did love me more.

After she left I lost all my hopes at love,
I began to doubt everything I had ever done,
So without a hope left, you slid up my story.
I asked the big guy, I begged him everyday, “please just please give me one tiny chance more at love and I swear I’ll make it right.”
It took some convincing but after a year begging he gave me a chance so small I called it my muffin.

Muffin and me snuck around the city always up to no good, but I didn’t really care what we did, all I wanted was to tell the world about you.
Some things will never change, back when we were together muffin and me spent the whole night together
Now muffin, I spend the whole night up waiting for you to forgive me.

Muffin and I now don’t talk,
Maybe muffin will never forgive me
But I’m still just that boy,
The one who hurt you,
Just please remember, it takes a lot of rain for us to see the rainbow.

A bitter sweet man hated everything about you,
A lemon boy misses everything about you,
Your never changing color hair, your beautiful smile, your will to sound smart by using big words when making compelling arguments, and how could I not mention, your cat and your mom too.

I was a fool falling in love, too hurt to be trustful, only now do I believe you truly loved me,
Some things really do take time,
And even though I lost you, hopefully someday you find someone better,
Someone your father doesn’t hate,
Someone always down to see your friends,
And more importantly, someone your mother doesn’t have to defend.  

I told you I’d never lie, and I didn’t, I just lied to the big guy, I told him I’d make it right.
Guess I really ******* this up,
But it just goes to show you, that you deserve someone way better, someone who has time for you,
So I’m sorry for wasting your time,
I just loved you too much to delay the tears, I knew they would hurt much more in Summer.

I told you I’d always be there,
If there is forever then forever, is the same.
I miss hearing your voice, call me,
Whatever time that might be,
I love you muffin.

I’m falling apart

Messing with use
Inducing your friends to let go
Saying clouds were dark
Saving lives never let you save yours

You could never save me from doomsday
Or even worse save me from myself
Until you loved me that is...

Had another smoke when your name came up,
Or maybe I was drunk
Either way you haunt me everyday, **** ily.



You always taught me how to heal the pain,
But you never showed me how to deal with rain.
Only in the rain did I ever notice how it seems to stay,
Calm, quiet, and rumbly.
Just an image in the mirror you are nothing but my past, now I just pray to god you leave my dreams
Because I don’t remember the last time I slept.

It can’t get no better, it’s all you asked for
Now sit and relax I’m gonna improvise but hold on let me sip this glass-
Do it with me:
Inhale— exhale,
Sometimes that’s all you need to find the answer.
Back on track like ******* crack,
Harsh ****— how I feel?
How I feel... I feel amazing, incredible, unbeatable, like the less gifted Superman,
“You are special, gifted, you are, super.”
I wish I was rich, wish I was handsome, wish I was— the man you said I’d be.

I done ****** up with a bottle of whiskey in the dead of night but everything’s okay—
Take a breath enjoy the day, light the night and **** the sun.
I’m not gonna cry, there’s a thousand more bad times ahead of mine and trust me, everything’s ok.

Bodies breaking down on the city’s lap,
They just do but they don’t know why,
So while you fill the streets it’s important to be, the rich **** your parents want you to be
You’re thrown into this new lifestyle filled with ******* you won’t ever see
A depressing ******* style where we never smile,
We paint our faces with **** and hope to god it don’t drip,
My dreams your dreams our dreams will never exists, no.
Big Bang, big bang for the land
Turn forever, hand in hand,
Taking all in all your time,
It is ticking, falling down,
Love forever, love is free
Let’s turn forever, you and me.
