it's a man's world
do i still deserve love
when i act ugly
of course because we all do
but they always take it away from me
how do i cope
what do i do
i already apologized
to you
and i try to make things better
but it never fully heals
i get fed up again
not acting on how i feel
get treated like i'm the problem
but it took both of our mistakes
to get us to such
a toxic place
and i do want things to get better
but it's all on me to make it right
and i'm almost willing to do it
just to end the fight
but i can't because
it's not fair to pin the solution on just me
i'm down for compromise
but i won't fall down to my knees
begging for the chance
to die so you'll be happy
we can't always have what we want
but there's just some things i will always need
respect is a two way street

deep running
let's talk about something else
just won't bring it up anymore
you get mad that i can't just be better
i start to feel like a chore
and i already have to fight myself everyday
to bring myself to go to you
when every part of me says
you're sick of me too

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
**** caring
**** trying
**** waiting
**** crying
**** being there
to get lied to
**** feeling alone
right beside you
**** dying
for you to notice
**** investing
in something so hopeless
**** the emotions
that cloud my mind
**** coming back
every single time
**** loving you
being my only purpose
**** not being enough ever
**** feeling worthless
**** being me
**** it all
**** loving you too much
to say that it's your fault

butterfly scales
you dont have to love me
i already know
it's always something
out out my control
beyond my power
i'm weak and you're repulsed
want my patience and affection
but can't bear to keep close
which is it now
what's it gonna be
you can't have it all
and be indifferent to me

i gotta know
116 · Oct 2021
you'll wake the baby
hush for just a second
i'm trying to remember every promise i've ever made
and if doing this would hurt
too much or the ones i love or make it all okay
whispers say to do it
before i lose another thing i can't replace
wondering how could one sleep
when they never feel safe
i just wanted one thing
well maybe more but nothing insane
just the ones i love to be happy
and not being so worried about tomorrow i can't enjoy today
but everything i've loved
has gotten snatched away

i don't listen but i hear
all the awful things my own mind says

seasick
i swear to god
i swear to ******* god
oh god what have i done

the manifestation
my rotten imagination
think i'm gonna throw up

you dont understand
how such thoughts can
break someone down to nothing

i'm not strong enough for this
i'm too tired to throw a fit
just keep finding things to take from me

and you giggle as i mourn
its okay if it get broken
as long as it's not yours
i didn't ask to be born
i didn't want it to come to this
but we're here whether or not we like it
but you make it impossible
for me to live
because you ruin everything i'm still living for

i'm afraid
who isn't?
its the equivalent of "cool it bro, we get it, we all do, calm down"
creeping 
lurking
sneaky
hurting
burn 
in hell
hate
yourself
disgusting
monster
the sin
you fostered 
you ******
****
hope you get
flattened by a truck
and die 
a slow death
i hope you're afraid
when you draw your last breath
i hope the world
grinds you down
i dream you'll fall off a bridge
and drown
i imagine peeling
back your face
then shredding it
and throwing it in a fire place
while your raw face
bleeds
it looks on 
and sees
the face of a villain
turned to ash
you better NEVER EVER ******* EVER
come back
you are repulsive
you're senile and bleak
you were never strong
you preyed on the weak
i wish you would 
just die
avoid the consequences you *****
commit suicide
do us all a favor
do yourself in
you're a useless abuser
pay for your sins
look what you've done
utter devastation 
continued this narrative
bleeding through each generation 
it stops here with me
as i break the cycle
you destroyed so many dreams
and broke so many smiles
so as your burn 
down below
i hope that you know
i smile at the
thought
of your eyelids
burning off
and your eyeballs
liquifying
no one is sad
that you're dying
celebrations 
will ensue
the day we are finally
without you

i hope you die the most lonely, painful, and excruciating way possible and that you know that this has been what i've wished for a long time and that you will be forgotten. 

no one loves you.

burn in hell you disgusting repulsive weak man.

i'd give
what do you want
i can give only so much
you ask and i sacrifice
but it's still not enough
i'd give you the truth
but i know you'd hate it
stripping you of your lies
weak and naked
i'd give you some space
but you need my attention
without it you would crumble
validation dependent
i'd give you my opinion
but to you it doesn't matter
but god forbid yours goes unheard
someone will hear about it after
tired of giving a ****
nothing i do seems worthy anyways
i'm giving you my resignation
and i'm giving back your hate
do you ever
just remember
everything you've ever done

sitting there
fully aware
and slowly becoming numb

past is frozen
heart stays broken
can't change what you already did

hoping to heal
despite how devastated you feel
like one day you might learn how to cope with it

if only you're so lucky
but how fortunate can you be
haunted by all the poor decisions
you made before you could see
their implications and consequences
now you face the terms of the sentence
you unknowingly received
yet you're to remain indifferent
pretend it doesn't hurt you when
you'll never trust yourself again
the architect of you own destruction
nostalgia your only friend

angel fontaine
disingenuous
never letting us be real
calloused hands on a fragile heart
just wanted to see how it would feel
now i lie in a pool of my own humanity
gasping on a lie
black holes staring to the sky
learning that this is the part where i die
because to love you meant to
love myself
you dont want me
and it ruins my mental health
putting it all down
all for naught
saying it's okay
when it's clearly not
just touch me and burn me
and take me with
if you're gonna leave me for dead
give me one last kiss
i'll never forgive myself
i could never blame you
just bleeding waiting dissociating
what you're just not willing to do
if only you cared if only i didn't
pining for a lonely death it seems
in the end i'll get what i asked for won't i
to love but not be loved is misery

lessons
the more i learn
the less i know

do you love me
is it all for show

burning questions
answers i need

too many lies
between you and me

who approached who
do you like her better

was it more enjoyable
then when we were together

what was she wearing
was it tight or seductively loose

just out of curiosity
does she wear name brand perfume

tell me what it is
what is that thing she has

the thing that made you want her
the thing that i don't have

why do you keep saying
that you never loved her

if anything it honestly
makes me feel worse

because if all it took
was those **** me eyes

do you really love me
or are you selling more lies

can't wake up
i woke up everyday
feeling bad but going out of my way to feel worse
now i know what you think that i'm worth
i flinch recalling the bite of those words
so much i could say but i don't wanna see you hurt
and i guess that's where we are different

i woke up everyday
unfortunately and tried to push off the thoughts
how could i be wrong
for wanting what everyone does
you keep telling me how i feel
but that wasn't how it was
compromise isn't an ultimatum

i woke up everyday
and all i asked was
to be met with equity
you took all my charity
now you left me
feeling like i was wrong on the deepest level
for ever wanting something more
hearing everything you say
i wake up the same kind of sore

i wake up everyday
and cry sometimes too
because i'm tired of pretending
and i might end up hating you

you said it with no hesitation
you took what was worth it for you
and you left the best parts of me
and told me they meant nothing
stupid stupid stupid

but it's okay
i'll be glad you're gone
when this doesn't hurt so much
it's just that it still hurts so much

acceptance
this loneliness is eating at me
i crave human touch
cravings and all, with all of these liars
alone will have to be enough
113 · Apr 2019
stuck
so many rigid walls
blocking my way
too many unhealthy thoughts
clogging my brain
all of these people
telling me it's too late
nobody understands
the extent of my pain
they all say it gets better
and that i'll be okay
they tell me to hold on
like i haven't tried
keep telling me to breathe
as they close in on all sides
tell me to come out of the darkness
as they burn me with their lights
keep telling telling telling
but i don't want their advice
but i'm stuck and i'm lost
and so ******* confused
so wrapped up in my feelings
i could never fathom what to do
about all of these problems
that somehow all lead back to you
it was not a what that was hurting me
but it took too long to figure out who
i blamed homework and school
i blamed work and sleep
i blamed existence and life
i blamed everything
but i never blamed you
eventually i even blamed me
never thought that you would hurt me
but i guess that i'm still learning
113 · Mar 2021
excommunicado
closed communications
i miss you from time to time
but i meant it when i left
had to say goodbye
you were everything i needed
for that moment in time
but you started causing pain
became a source of strife
and i think about you sometimes still
but you're gone for a reason
friends aren't forever
embracing the end of a season
there's no way to settle the score
or make us even
it's all for the better
don't go searching for reasons
don't seek me out
it'll just make this worse
i'm not having fun
this really ******* hurts
every part of me
wanted this to work
but in the end
we only made each other worse

sixth sense
sometimes it's better to be wrong
but intuition never lies
i know i can be paranoid
i really didn't wanna be right
my imagination can take me places
i jump to conclusions all the time
but there was esomething behind your friendly smile
a coldness in your eyes

that told me to stand back
before you noticed at me
you radiate negativity
everyone sees the insecurity
it's why you lash out
and why you're so mean
i should've taken the first chance
to leave

but i let sympathy
override logic
gave you a chance
and you proved you were rotten
i shouldve trusted my gut
when it said you were toxic
instead i let you play games
till i eventually lost it

and started asking questions
with answers i already knew
all the drama
led back to you
all the lies stand out
when compared to the truth
now that they all know
what are you to do

a taste of your own medicine
you will feel the shame
i never did a ******* thing
to be treated that way
you're just bitter and insecure
so you doled out pain
thinking that bullying someone else
would make yours go away
i'm not graceful
or gentle or timid or light
i'm angry and clumsy
and confused and can't decide
but i thought i chose you
but all i did was pretend
can't build a relationship with someone
who won't even try to be your friend
111 · Jul 2021
how fucking sad
what you could've had
never left your mind
tethered to me now
but dream of the other life
you wish you could've had
i never meant to hold you back
she is all you ever wanted
and i'm all you'll ever have
111 · Dec 2021
high on you
it's the peculiar pain
of knowing how
excited i get
when i think of
seeing you
or how nervous i become
worrying about what to say
knowing you don't feel the same
that same rush

i bet
your friends have never heard about me
and if i was mentioned
it was probably not by name
just in offhand
like yeah
i ****** that one girl again
just another body

you dont have conversations
revolving around how your actions
might impact my feelings
or even think about that about that at all
i bet
but i do for yours and
i bet
you would laugh at me if you knew
or you'd just run

and the shock
of the realization
knocks me out of orbit
this idea of who i am
to anyone around me
means nothing
and you are just the first example

and as i start unraveling
and acknowledging all my **** ups
and shortcomings
and everything i wish
would just be different
about the world
and myself
i drown in the feeling
that i shouldn't even try
my powerlessness
my weakness
i hate myself
for all the things
i can't will myself to be
and the thoughts i can't control
getting too self aware
and i suffer

one too many nights
of medicated sleep
now i can't fight the universe
revealing things to me
or is it the devil
trying to get under my skin
with these horrible visions
i can't be sure

i want to be safe
and i want to be alive
but i want to feel alive
and i'm tired of being alive

loop di loop di loop
it all starts and ends with you
and you don't even matter
because i don't matter to you
my brain won't let me love someone
who can not love me back
but i still feel attachment
because i'm stupid
and i actually liked you despite
all of the ugly thoughts in my head

now i'm rambling
and i make no sense
that one crossfade lyric
what i really meant to say
is i'm sorry for the way i am

i can't help but ruin everything
111 · Oct 2021
one night
why don't you say it again
say it again
or are you scared
why won't you say it again
we can't stay friends
said you never cared
words can break someone
111 · May 2024
with the tide
the old frustrations
so obvious now
it only took a few hits
to figure it out
it only took a few years
to have my head above the waves
probably a few more
before i actually mean what i say

gagging at the thought
of my past versions
to stagnation and over-emotion
i've developed an aversion
a reflex i can't help
i can try to forgive myself
but i will never be proud
of making do than doing well

spitting acid
when i could have offered compromise
making myself some sort of martyr
of unnecessary sacrifice
where i should've countered with
kindness and open-mindedness
i curled into negativity
causing my own blindness

running a psychological deficit
standing on the precipice
that the only answer might be watching everything burn
and just letting it
111 · Nov 2019
charity case
you say i'm not a burden
but i see you don't want my company
don't tell me not to feel insecure
when you obviously wanna leave
i feel too uncomfortable
to stand here as you wish to be
somewhere else with somebody else
that you enjoy more than me
i get it i do
just dont make it worse
your ****** expression
contradicts your words
i feel unwanted
so why shouldn't i desert
your body language is enough
to tell me to hit the curb
but you swear that its fine
for me to hang around
finally you convince me
i ignore my doubts
sending good vibes
and trying to fit in with your crowd
still all i feel is invisible
and always get left out
what did i expect
not a welcome parade
i just thought since you promised
i wouldn't have to be afraid
but as soon as i came in
you wandered away
and relief pours over your body
after you lose my face
in the group of people
that all hate my guts
they think i'm emotional
and see you're my crutch
they laugh at me as i fall over myself
and say what a clutz
i guess i deserve it
since i trusted you so much
still it stings and it burns
they laugh as i weep
you watch and do nothing
either in agreeance or because you're weak
i should've just not showed up
or let you make me believe
that you actually wanted my friendship
when you just felt pity
111 · Jul 2024
in theory
now that our stories are black and white
and love is an act of defiance rather than a state of grace
i don't see how we ever came together
or find reason in the distance we made
before this became what it is now
all i feel is the gap between
your doubtless simple comprehension
and my drowning senseless indecision
our bounds could never meet

sure came close though
but if i really listened
i would have heard the first cannon fire
but who am i kidding

of course i heard it
but i held my tongue out of guilt
can we really burn bridges we never built?
110 · Jan 2019
but
but
i just wanna change the world
but
the world wants to change me too
i just wanna find something good
but
the good doesn't want to be seen
i just wanna scream into the void
but
the void screams back at me instead
i just wanna let go of these people
but
these people won't let go of me
i just wanna lie next you
but
who knows the next time you will lie
i just wannawannawanna
but
the wanna doesn't want me
110 · Oct 2024
drink from me
i tell you that i have to love me first
knowing your happiness means more than mine
i walk away and draw new lines
i ask for space and say i need some time
when all i ever wanted was to be here with you
but i close the door behind me
and i don't look back and it feels so wrong
if i'm the one leaving why am i crying

cause i'd burn myself down
to warm your coldest day
and break every bone in my body
to remove all of your pain
everything i have
has been at stake
everyday that i love you
i become more afraid

of what'd i do
to myself if i let it keep going
but my visions have gone dark
the future's foreboding

every step you take
every choice you make
reverberates through me
and i crumble in your wake


i'm never gonna see my brightest day
living as a sponge for your problems and gloom
i gotta walk away
cause i gotta think about me too

i hope you can still love me
and if i need it, that forgiveness is in your heart
life is for living and only sometimes about giving
love shouldn't be this hard
a vampire of sorts
i bared my neck for you
you dont mean to **** me dry
but you still did, didn't you?

i've gotta go now
110 · Aug 2021
death grip
following suit
predictable you
i knew i knew
but simply refused
to see the crime
to start the fight
crossing lines
five point lies
it was easier to forgive
than accept what you did
you never asked me to
but i still did
always seeing the best
knew what to expect
you have no regrets
that much you've said
and i have no words
won't let myself be hurt
it's nothing i rehearse
knowing it still hurts
because it took all i had
to get this far
stained glass art
of a shattered heart
you'd do it again
you'll do it again
first you were my friend
and i just can't let that end
110 · Apr 2019
tell em
what if i told you
that i still feel the same
would that be good or bad
or awkward and strange

what if i told you
how i felt that night
before i up and went
and change my mind

what if i told you
about every single thing
that made you so perfect
at least to me

what if i told you
how long it took
for me too look at you
and not feel mistook

what if i told you
about the the hate that grew
in that period of time
i distanced myself from you

what if i told you
that i'm not the same
when you said you couldnt love me
i learned a new level of pain

what if i told you
i don't love you anymore
would you believe me
despite what i said before

what if you told me
you really felt the same
i cried out all the memories
so i really couldn't say
those feelings have been gone
but maybe the could be saved
i forgot how to want you
so i could stay sane
but i'm driving myself mad with these hypotheticals
but i'm trapped in my brain

what if i told you
i don't believe in love
forgetting you and losing myself
proved to be enough
to take the romantic in me
and show her that it's too ******* bad
love is just a concept
and it's nothing i will ever truly have
110 · Mar 2019
a reflection
i stare into the mirror
analyzing the view i have of myself
i'm not too bad so someone could love me
but there is nobody else
i'm tired of being lonely
i need a person to be mine
but they don't want me and as i stare
into the mirror i can see why
110 · Sep 2023
i need a thread and needle
i've said too much
i emptied the bottle
can't pour it back it in
now that i've spilled it all out
so in the mess i reside
the puddle i've made of my life
i wade knee deep in problems
i've only made worse by opening my mouth

sometimes i wish
my lips would fall off
and my teeth would meld together
and my tongue would wither away
maybe then i could know what it's like
to stay out of my own way

i feel like everyone knows everything
and nothing at all
i think too much
i try to share my thoughts
but they never come out right
so i'm just fighting for my life
and ruining it
all at the same time
sorry my brain feels like mashed potatoes today

dreaming
walking on clouds
fluffy and puffy
breathing underwater
glubbing and bubbling
off in a fantasy land
where i am drifting away
it still unsafe here
but i am free for a day
love makes people stupid
myself included
my gaze lingers where it never has before
your fingers rest gently on the door
i know you're about to leave
but right now you are staring into me

and it feels

foreclosed
blue spilling out across my mind
it was easy enough to find
swallowed by the memory
called it too close to get out fine
without scraping the sides
and burning myself alive
with the feelings i still have
running back into the fire
it's not fair to my heart
but i have to try
i know you don't care anymore
but these memories are also still mine
109 · Feb 2019
revise and edit
it is just a little tense
and by a little i mean a lot
everything is A-OK
and by is i mean it is not
everything could be worse
and by could be i mean it definitely is
you're getting the message
just in pieces and bits
i can tell you the truth
but i edit it in real time
you only hear what you need
finishing the rest of the sentence in my mind

post panic attack
i would get anxious
but at this point it wouldn't be worth the price
my body is tired
and my mind is balancing
on the edge of a knife

i would get worried
and overwhelm myself with the details
but i know that won't change anything
so i'll just take a deep breath
and exhale

i really am drained
but there's this nagging persistence
to freak out and be manic
and focus on the little things
but i'm too tired to go along with it

i just don't care
life is just a word
my feelings
have melted
so i can be unhurt

looking down from above
i don't want to love you anymore
i gave you five years to prove me right
the choice was yours

caring is an awful chore
why should i keep watch all night
when there's nothing worth staying for

i could wait in the cold
in case you might return
or i could do what you did and just go

is it worse to by haunted by what you know
or purposefully hurt
and tortured by what you don't

when your bullets ricochet
and your whites turn to red
and you're wondering if you can still be saved

i cannot wait
until you feel ready to regret your bets
maybe someone stronger would stay

and maybe someone different can help
you become the best version of yourself

because right now you're hard to witness
turned off by the lack of awareness
i'm tired of dealing with it
thats the truth
i'm crushed by the weight
that was knowing you
i've tried to run away
of course at no use

cause it's not a place or thing
i can avoid like the plague
you're a part of me
i can't push away
not that i'd want to
i need you to feel sane

but you're gone
and there's nothing i can do
i tried rationalizing it
with every excuse
but i can't accept it
and that leaves me pretty ****** *******

because i still need you
don't you know
why did you feel
the need to go
whatever possessed you
to ever think so

and as i lay here
i can't help but think
it should've been me
it should've been me
you deserved so much more
i failed you miserably
108 · Aug 2021
no srsly
it's a game
of who cares less
left on delivered
unsending texts
general statements
to silently dig
because i'm too shy
to just say ****
and i know if i did
it'd just get forgotten
pouring until i'm an
empty carton
hate that feeling
so just i say nothing
act nonchalant
but i'm bad at bluffing
so now it's weird
because i think too much
concerns get buried
so i can get ******
i'm trying my best
to not mess it up
but i let the situation snowball
like it always does
and now it's too late
to fix what i bent
so i'll just say
we're better off as friends
108 · May 2020
just wanna make you happy
crush my bones
sever my feet
stomp in my face
watch me bleed
ain't it fun
to taunt the weak
some people love watching you die for them
a love letter to my soul
an apology for my heart
the general consensus
that i'm bound to fall apart
i tried to stay together
but i melted through the cracks
i'm sorry i couldn't be strong
but it's too late to take it back
i'm soaked through and invisible
run through your fingers like honey
let me slip on out
and get far away from me
you don't wanna get stuck
trust me i know
just let me remain broken
been better on my own
it's when people like you get involved
that everything goes wrong
i'm not worth the effort apparently
so just keep carrying on
107 · Mar 2019
don't say sorry
no one ever asked if i was okay
now its a little too late
to remedy my pain

they never cared to see my fear
missed my downfall even though they were here
tear after tear

i am all cried out at this time
keep your shoulder cause i got mine
too late for you to apologize
107 · Sep 2021
i'm afraid of me too
just because i have issues maintaining my boundaries
didn't mean i needed to treat people like ****
in the moment i felt cornered
so i overcorrected and when
i veer into that territory
of fighting invisible enemies
i let the negativity
get the best of me
i'm sorry i spoke to you like that
i didn't want to it just happened
that's me being honest
not defending my actions
i wanna promise i won't do it again
but i don't wanna lie you see
if you stay i'll try my best
but i understand if you choose to leave

just be vocal lol
sure
sure
letting it play out
and when i bleed out
that's my fault
shouldn'tve even went out
and when it starts hurting
i know the first thing
i'll start rehearsing
are the words you told me
and i'll let it take over
it's what i get for wanting closure
now i know why
they say it's easier not sober
because i can say how i feel
and don't even care about what's real
just a moment of release
is worth years i know it steals

check it off
please help me see
what is wrong with me
putting my under all this pressure
believing it will make me better
drowning in expectations and lists
stuck on the deadlines i've missed
my attempts are almost funny
i keep trying to help everybody

insert insecurity here
if i was more

i'd be worth it
but i'm not
and that's why you don't care
don't say thats not true
because if i was enough
i wouldn't have to force you to open the door
i wouldn't have to beg you to move the last inch
after i covered the mile
i wouldn't pray to have a chance
if i was more

i wouldn't need to ask for chances
you'd throw them at me
unconditionally
i wish i could be more

but i'm not
and that's why you won't love me
