crazy how it is
know it's none of my business
but i can't believe this ****
about speechless
like how did we end up here
too much coincidence
but it is what is
i'll try to let you finish the sentence
knowing **** well
no excuse will make sense
gotta let you finish
but it's senseless
you don't know how many people
wanna see me hurt
dream about me choking on
every last word
because they're jealous or scorned
things i'll never understand
maybe the just hate me
simply for who i am
release those words into the environment
without consideration
of the situation
of their implications
testing my patience

it was 'nice' to hear my voice for a couple seconds
still sending mixed signals
said it was just as gentle
so sentimental
driving me mental

i think you mean what you say
but it doesn't even matter
can't just bust in after
you left me shattered
pieces too scattered

to even bother picking myself up
had to start fresh
which was really just a mess
youre so ridiculously blessed
you don't know what it's like being second best
talking to you is
like breaking my neck after a one inch fall
the chance of disaster so low
why not risk it all
but once it all goes to ****
i won't understand what's wrong
might find it difficult to remember
that its all my fault

just kidding
i blame myself for everything
i
feel
so
small
i see the way they are and i fantasize
the amount of pain i go through to seem alright
in the single slice of reality it all seems glamorized
without all of the shadows none of it would seem so bright
introducing ideas into the mix i never sought
a factory of feverish and jealous thoughts
i want to be beautiful but i'm just not
left to my devices and i'm bound to stalk
just to see what could've been if i wasn't torn
misfortune loomed long before i was born
generational trauma i never signed up for
i always hated everyone else for having more
than i ever could no matter how hard i tried
with their licenses and friends every friday night
while i was herded and degraded by every adult in my life
they laughed on the stairs i'd hide under to cry
now they're discovering themselves and i'm barely in my skin
progressing in their relationships while i've only just started making friends
i know it's not their fault i'm staggered in my development
it's just that watching them get to be happy makes me resent
them for being able to blossom so soon
i wonder if i will ever bloom
tracing my thoughts in the dark of my room
trying to trust the process knowing i expected results too soon
there is just too much to heal
trying to paint me bad
because you can't get me back
miserable because of your decisions

i'm not gonna be one that
let's you disturb the peace of mind i have
avoiding a major collision

forgiving you is just not worth it
loving you was not a burden
but it sure hell wasn't fun

not saying i was perfect
but i saw the lesson here and learned it
when will you be done
fast forward a couple weeks
hearing nothing from me
you're not too stressed
probably for the best
know that it's been tense
thought we were more than friends
that was my mistake
you don't even seem see the pain
all you know is i'm gone
probably wondering what you did wrong
i wanna say it was all in my head
our messages suggest otherwise instead
maybe you're not confused
maybe you're full aware of what you do
maybe i'm reading into this too much
maybe i shouldn'tve gotten my hopes up

been a few months now
thought you would've came around
maybe i was too quick to shut **** down
fighting the urge to reach out

so i do
hi how are you
it's strange
regret the choice i made
you wanna **** me in
to your world again
aborting this mission
you double down on my decision
i say goodbye
you ask me why
tell me i've been acting weird
demand an answer now that i'm here

and i realize i don't trust you with my feelings

you made me feel safe
then took that away

when i look at you i see a mask
i love myself enough to never go back
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

don't say i'm stupid for using my words
better be careful how you choose your words
i'm not as fragile as you might think
a lot more sturdy than i seem
i hate to admit it
  but i wish you were dead
i didn't before
  but now i'm absolutely fed
up with the abuse
  cause you break what you can't take
and you already took so much
  yet you're still fueled by hate

  i waited and prayed
  even though i grew impatient
  and i don't believe in your god
i compromised and forgave
someone who never stopped harming me
just to say i gave it a shot

  because my whole life
  you've told me it's my fault
  for not doing everything you asked
i buried myself
and pushed so hard to do it right
even while you held me back

  i was only twelve
  what did you want
  i couldn't figure it out the first time
now i'm an adult
i don't have to do it anymore
yet you still wreak havoc on my life

you take
and what you can't take you break
and i hate to say it
but i wish you would just die
and when i see that day
i'll still cry by your grave
but in a hug where i've buried my face
i'll hide the smallest smile

i'll be happy
we all will
i love you somehow
but you burn everything
and everyone you touch
i'm sick of the draining obligation
that is loving you
be well
but please
for the love of your God
be gone
wanna be some comfort
but this is way above my paygrade
wanna be a distraction
but i can't erase heartbreak
don't know what you want from me
but all i can do is pray
this doesn't end horribly
we both have too much at stake
i dont know what to do
i'm scared to **** it up
wanna do the right thing
but i never do enough
i'm trying to save myself
from myself
i'm hurting myself
i'm really no help
just pushing my friends away
and smiling through the pain
cry all night and sober up
sleep through every day
hoping it'll get better
knowing it will not
destined to crash
my scars are all i've got
just gotta keep my head up
tough it all out
but i feel my armor slipping
what will i do now
i wasn't prepared for how it feels
to be right in this circumstance
sick to the bottom of my heart
replaying the argument over in my head
when the venom was spewing
it wasn't meant to harm
just to dissuade or persuade one another
to lay down our arms
but the flames have swallowed you whole
another abandoned soul
i want to rewind and change it all
but i have no such control
instead i'm right
and you are suffering
i saw it play out in theory
but seeing it is another thing
i want to spare your pain
but the price is paid
i want to offer reprieve
but there's almost nothing to say
when it is what it is
and what was is set on its course
take the visions away
i don't want to be right anymore
i don't want to look

your skin is sloughing off
tender to the touch
i do more harm than good it seems
despite my aching love
waking up
not rested
uncomfortable
and divested
every ounce of nerve
has been tested
have a dream
but can't manifest it

i want more
than what i know
but there's no
room to grow
i'm stuck in
this hellhole
where did all
my passion go
there was so much i wished for
so much i tried to manifest
thought i knew what i wanted
thought i knew what was best
but on the other side of this river
as i watch the wreckage float away
i realize i was never gonna live out that dream
or see a perfect day
not with you
and that's not to be mean
its just the truth
i ignored blatantly
because i wanted it to be you
everything i could imagine
wanted you to color my skies
be the perfect distraction
but fate knew that couldn't be
so she struck the thought down
i was bitter at first
but i'm gratfeul now
rewrites on rewrites today I guess lol
I want you
I want to want you
I need to leave you
I need to
used to lay in my bed
and dream of your touch
now thinking of you
make me want to throw up
you had my full attention
and it wasn't enough
but now it's all you want
now that you have none
it didn't matter then
it's all that matters now
problems arise from thin air
and drive us straight into the ground
i have my secrets
and you have your pride
you think you can just do what you want
and my favorite thing to do is hide
two sides of the same coin
and we are not willing to change
as much as we want to help each other
we only cause one another pain
i let you do it
which i guess was stupid
thought the perks were worth the pain

on one hand it was my call
and you wanna pass the fault
because accepting blame serves no gain

figured it all understandably
easier to abandon me
than acknowledge your own shortcomings

you lead me on a chase
unexpectedly hit the brakes
the death of a never was something
we're not friends
no we're not friends
i'm just the means
to your ends
i see your friends
i don't like them
don't complain then
run right back to them
stop saying we're friends
are you ******* dense
i put up with you
and got hurt again and again

**** any promises i made
you didn't keep yours
hope those walls were worth it
not holding open anymore doors
what i can give you
is determined by what you give me
wanna bare it all
but i dont trust naturally
i could show you things
but first i need to see
why i should trust you
when i don't trust anybody
i know intentions rarely matter
after all is said and done
but i feel like if i could just explain myself
and you hear me out just this once
i promise i wouldn't hurt you again
because that was never what i meant to do
you should be embarrassed for me
yet you think i'm embarrassed of you
i put myself out there and it didn't work out
life goes on another day
you shouldn't feel ashamed
for things i chose to say
and the people i chose to say them to
it was never supposed to be an attack
i just overshared in the moment
and now it's made its way back
i hope you won't hate me
but i'd understand why if you did
there's no excuses and i don't wanna make this worse
when i bet you already think i am a *****
why would i want to care
when you parade that you don't
you say i should calm down
but you just don't know
what it like to be the last one
trying to make it work
how it feels to be one cares more
and why that even hurts
you tell me to be happy
that there's no reason to change
but if i walked out of your life
you would be okay

and on this unfortunate day
i can't say the same
i know i'm supposed
to be okay
i drew the lines
i walked away
but for the record
i don't feel like i won
i'm not celebrating
or having much fun
we were a team
now you're just blocked
couldn't stand to see
you become someone your not
years from now
maybe we'll meet again
but tonight i'll just remember
what it was like to be your friend
there never was an expectation
just a hope that you might care
i didn't demand salvation
there were no handcuffs on your chair
cause you have to sit with your actions anyways
i don't need control over anyone else
i just wanted to feel safe
i wasn't even seeking help

now there's ugly words
and blocked aggression
spit on the bridge
i received the message
even in the eleventh hour
i move with discretion
something you wouldn't understand
i burn in convalescence
room of walls made
to sit and wait

going a little stir crazy
seems to grow smaller daily

inch by inch it recedes
the walls are closing in on me

it's not okay but what can i do
destined to be stuck in this room
everything i couldn't be
things i shouldn'tve done
disappointment swells in your eyes
as you hiss at what i've become
sorry for who i ended up being
for not being enough to make you love me
the guilt has eaten through my anger
away is where i'll keep running
may i ask a question
or would that be invasive
if you need a moment
i could be patient
just wanted to know
if any of it was real
how can someone walk away like that
do you even feel
why do i have to be me
why did i have to be born
why did everything have to happen like this

why am i here
why is everything so hard
why did i ever have to exist

why why why
why can't i
be happy with life as it is

why am i stuck
why am i trapped
why must i lose my wits

why does it hurt so much
why can't i breathe
why should i continue to live

why do i ask why
why don't i understand
why can't any of my problems be fixed

why am i broken
why be so careful
why not let my bones snap like sticks

why does it look so nice from up here
why did i wait so long
why is it-
don't want to be alone
but i let you go
answer your phone
i already know
one of your friends
needs you again
i need you too
but i can't cage you in
jealousy is ugly
want you to get nice feelings from me
biting my tongue
pretending ***** lovely
but its not
wound up in thoughts
i don't wanna speak
so i'm constantly off
but i like you a lot
and i dont want you to stop
i want your voice in my ear
but you're already gone
a limp yet warm body
given a role to play
an object, not a person
subjected to morbid games

it used to hurt but now it's like
crashing a hearse
i'm already dead inside
it can't get any worse

learned helplessness
and a final realization
heros aren't real
deafening resignation

learned existence is pain
so harden and be numb
i don't know if i hate
the ragdoll i've become

i may not react
but at least i can't feel
if it can't touch me
it doesn't have to be real
no more waiting
on you to change
it's like staring at the sun
until it rains
what if it never does
and when it does what will i do
a couple burned retinas
and water in my shoes
no more waiting
on you to be better
it's like asking a tree
how's the weather
no reply
and if it did i'd lose my ****
and i've already lost enough
let's not be friends

no more thinking
you'll treat me right
no more crying
to sleep every night
no more watching
shrinking headlights
no longer welcome
this is goodbye
sweet somebody
neat nobody
wanna be wrapped in your words
till i suffocate

when they fall over me
it's a beautiful thing
gratifying enough for me
to not mind the stains
can i be the water
dripping on your skin
air dry in the sun
then let it pour again
soaking but refreshed
love the way its collects
on your eyelashes and
the curves of your neck
spilling over
the lip of the tub
you want to disappear
but offer a hug
you don't want to be this close
but you feel bad for what you've done
the blood is getting on your sweater
and you're starting to choke up

you don't wanna be here
but feel the need to fix me
wanna be with her
trying not to gag when you kiss me
i'm a dark part of your past
so you can't forget me
beyond moved on
but feel anchored in my misery
a connoisseur
with impeccable taste
not one to indulge
yet i licked the plate
you're made with something special
that i can not resist
how am i suppose to live
now that i've felt like this
i'm sorry for my wack *** titles lol
not good enough
for me
or for you
don't say
i'm being silly
you know its true

cause if she's a five
what am i
close my eyes
try not to cry

because i don't
think this is what
you're trying to do
when i don't wanna
be myself
you'll be confused

but you don't get it
so just forget it
already did it
too late to fix it

cause the things
you say manage
to hurt
when i'm in
front of the mirror
i hear the words

they never leave me be
feed my insecurities
i hate having to be me
sorry for what you have to see

i live everyday
feeling you're much more
than i deserve
but i feel like
out of your choices
i'm nowhere near first
re-
re-
lock eyes
with a girl
she's beautiful
she seems fragile
but there's a light that shrouds her
this strength that radiates
she could cry
and flowers would bloom from the tears
she could scream
and it'd be music to the ears
oh
it seems
she's me
hope you feel like i'm ignoring you
because you're being ignored
it's the next best thing
when you're afraid to ask for more
either you'll fade away
and we'll be no more
or you'll reach out for me
and i won't feel as needy as before
is wrong to have these feelings
should i be concerned
should i hide them or away
or let them be heard
my suspicions have yet
to be confirmed
but something just tells me
you're not too concerned
i used to ask why you didn't love me
then i realized
you don't love anyone
not even yourself
you are just a shell of a person
pushing on
moving along
till you hear that song

at first you're fine
say your alright
but know you wanna cry

and that's okay
just afraid
to show others that pain
universe is testing me
at every turn
like i haven't proved myself a thousand times

i brace myself for the news
used to getting used
but it gets old after thousands of times

and i wanna be there
i wanna help
i wanna save them all
knowing they would never
giving too much effort
kind to a fault
unfortunately my nature
can't abandon
someone in pain
even if its for my health
i hurt myself
for someone who wouldn't do the same
one day when you regret your choice and look back at how things were
the day that i'm actually moved on and shining without a care in the world
don't reach out and say you miss me and you shouldn'tve chosen that girl
over our friendship because i knew that from the second you turned
i knew the second you tasted her lips you were gonna burn
you did everything and anything to give the world to her
up to even lying to me and leaving me crying on a curb
i was broken without you and i was lonely and hurt
you were the one person i thought truly deserved
the trust i put in them though i've obviously learned
history means nothing when it comes to making it work
whoever gets you off will always have the last word
so no i would not like to pick things up or reminisce on how they were
it was good while it lasted but you left on bad terms
i have no need to reconnect or wait to reobserve
the same toxic behavior that led this to occur
it can't get any worse
i pray
i whisper till i go insane

but everytime i say those words
it does
always worse off than i was
you don't get to make me feel bad for something i wanted to do
already regret feeling anything in truth
done made my heart feel stupid for seeing the potential in you
it truly falls on deaf ears when you say you're confused
how do you think i felt when you switched up on me dude
and even though you made your point through and through
i still tried to use every excuse
didn't wanna subscribe to the worldview
where you were this person who abused
the patience and trust i invested in you
but situations don't always work out how you want them to
people sometimes do things you never thought they'd do
so pardon me if i'm coming off a little rude
my outlook on love and life is pretty much ruined
it's alternative
it's similar
but not something i've ever had

so familiar
yet foreign
what a peculiar kind of sad

i thought
it'd get easier
as time continued to pass

but it hasn't
i've realized
each hurt is different from the last
kind of how the love you feel for each person is different, so is the sadness they make you feel.

that's why time hasn't made me stronger, because i have to relearn everytime i am hurt.
misshapen
graceless
beauty for a price
i wanted
to make it
but i fell just shy
much shy
too high
to buy
your love
but mine
is here
if you'd like
for now
i'll just die
as another
catches your eye
i'm nothing
if i'm not fine
i'm nothing
when your not mine
something is keeping me up tonight
but i don't care to figure it out
it's either you or something else
and it hurts to think right now
passing burnt out streetlights
summer has me by the throat
experiences to be had
with people i don't even know
any way to just get out
of the box i find myself in
tell me don't be stranger
but can't see me as a friend
i'm not thinking clearly
but i don't know if i wanna love anymore
but of course i do
if you dont then what is all of it for


i was thinking about
all of the reasons i can't die
and i realized
they're the reasons i want to be alive

i'm tired
but i'd live to share your company
i'm trying
what more could you want from me
