Please,

Could you forgive me

When my name can no longer be spoken?

Could you forgive me if I'm not open

With you?

If I fell today,

If I went away

What is the first thing you'd do?

A Good Day Signing Leases
insomniatrical Sep 2020
I almost forgot what good days were,
That it didn't have to be extra to be extra special.

But today we are lazy,
And we are at home,
And we haven't done anything at all.

You're making food,
I am watching a movie,
And today has been a good day.

We Are Not Here
insomniatrical Sep 2020
I become fearful sometimes,
That I am my fear,
And my fear is me.
A terrifying thought,
That I should be my own end,
Or even that I will be.

Now I see the sky

And before I had convinced myself that there was no sky to see.

There were no stars, and no sun.

The entire world was below at my feet,

And I had never thought to look up.

I no longer stare at the ground,

Because now I see the sky

Please

Do me a favor.
Promise me something.
Promise me anything.
But this time,
Keep your promise.
Stay forever like you said you would.

oh, you hapless *******
love with a hasty touch
and throw me for a loop
crying and saying sorry
shaking with urgency
come close and unfreeze me
take my body and warm it
better yet
don't
i hope you cry and keep crying
petrifying
in that house alone
hallucinating you had someone
to love again
would you love me again?
i can find someone new
someone not you
someone who
brags about their love and not their conquests
someone to help me heal this heart in my chest
and i knew you couldnt do it but i hoped
at the very least i thought you could help me cope
but you can't even deal with your own ****
saying im unhinged
when you chain yourself to drug and drink
downing all that moonshine
drowning inside your mind
and not having time for anyone but yourself
i wish i knew
you'd turn into the old you
once more

— The End —
