Isn’t it funny?

to beg for love

in a world so barren.

so desperate to feel

amidst the crowd of the numb.

longing to spark a flame
inside 
the walls of these
stone cold hearts.

why do you seek life in something

you’ve so viciously murdered?

why do you lock the doors to a home

when you wish to be taken far away?

Isn’t it funny?

to live by deceit

when all you crave is honesty

to wish for death

when you’ve tried so hard to live.

and to plead for someone to stay

when all they want to do is leave.

Isn’t it funny?

to receive only pain

when all you’ve given is love.

and to give love

when all you have is pain.

Your skin is not made of steel.
Your ribs are not thorn cages.
Your heart is not made of glass.
Let your skin feel.
Let your heart break.
You are not designed to crumble.
You were made to survive.
Live on.

I’ve been dead long enough to know
there is no pain in numbness and
no fear when you know the dark,
no heartache without a heart.

There are parts of me,
dark parts of me,
that I don't think
I can ever fix, and

I am terrified
of wanting things
that I don't deserve.

When I leave, 
there will be no warnings.

There will be no calm before the storm.


Had you truly known me, 

you would have known that I have always
remained true to my chaos.


It has always been silent.


And someday when I am gone,

in the dead of the night,
dreams of me will haunt you,

and you will lay awake, 

wondering where I went

or if I will ever return,

and that will be your undoing.


I will give you no answers, nor peace,
the same way I gave you my heart

and had to take it back in pieces.
Pride is such a terrible thing.

Hold on to me
like your whole world depends on it.

Otherwise,
let me go.
Nobody wants to be half loved.
