you
ask to
see me

but my hips
are a little too
ragged right
now

to have
your hands
grabbing
at them
what am i supposed to do

                 when the people
                 who picked me up

        taped me back together

        shattered and ripped me

walked away
   and never
     turned back

      ~           ~           ~

*cut open
i bleed water
rusty and brown
in myself*
i've started to drown
Put away your scissors, I'm not sure who of us will hurt me more, but I'd rather it be me.

I can't control anything.
What a feeling it must be,
to have someone

that cares and loves you
unconditionally

holds you until you fall
asleep at night

helps relieve your
worry and fear,

and

doesn't just watch
as you simply
*fade away
Love *****,
Because I thought I'd finally moved on,
Until I saw your name appear on my screen.
I could've sworn my heart skipped a beat.
My thoughts are rubber

My words are cement


My thoughts grip me

and snap back

into my head full force

each time they try to escape


My words are concrete and imposing

I can't seem to take them back

no matter how hard I try
I don't know what the **** I'm doing anymore.
If I keep pretending to smile, will it get better?
... Probably not.
Lipsticks, painted red
      A smile on my face,
              Not seen before,
     Take a big swig from a bottle,
Drink more and more
      Until I end up on the floor
     Finally the *memories
are gone
When my sanity walks out the door

        I'm now on the ceiling,
   Though quite possibly dreaming,
My thoughts are far from clearing
            In muddled moments
    I find comfort and forget
             No longer chained
      Or to my own head in debt

Swishing the thoughts around my mind
    Like a good year of
         fine white wine
   Spitting out the rotten ones
Swallowing down a few,
        just for fun
     Intoxication at its finest,
Brazen, daring, brave and bold
           Leaving the past behind us
     Out in the bitter cold

          Frozen behind,
   No longer catching up to me
     I can stumble forward
            In my plastered euphoria
     A smile on my face
I can pick up my pace
         Audacious now, I feel
Doesn't matter how much of this is real

Reality is just in my mind
           Not easily defined
    By dreams, nightmares or ghosts
             From the past
       Reality is in this bottle,
                This pipe, or this needle
     Down to the very last
Drops of fantasy and candy
                   But ****,
           *It tastes so sweet
What a joy working with the young, yet so talented WickedHope, amazing.  :)
Digging through this wall in my mind
Trying to erase you
Amazingly
It's so much easier than last time
All the little remnants of
you
Just bad memories
And dreams I'm glad
never
came true
Thinking of the things you
did
And will probably do
I'm so glad we're through
That
"love"
was never true
But
me,
I've found something new

Seriously
It's joyous not thinking about you
I
actually feel happy
In a way you
never
made me
Now you message me.
Really,
Trying to be friendly?
No.
I know what being
loved
feels like now
And it was never
you
So, do us both a favor....
Admit you wish it was me
Instead of her
Cause, we both know
she never loved you
either

At least I actually cared about you
Please, notice the past tense
Like in my name
The feelings are through
I know you'll
Never Forget
*The Girl Who Loved You
When I heard the news,
I went to the bathroom
and sobbed until I was sick.

I grabbed my coat and my car keys,
wiped away the tears
And rushed to the hospital.

He looked at me, and croaked,
hey there, lion.
He's always called me his lion.

I started to cry once again,
This is the most I've cried,
Since I stopped feeling.

you idiot, I mutter,
Taking his hand in mine, gently
examining the stark white bandages on his wrist.

I stayed with him,
They didn't make me leave,
And he understood.

I can't live without him.
I told him I needed him
I wanted him.

Every **** word
Meant all it was worth.
He could never leave.
