you are so evil
that grotesque grin upon your face
sends me into a fit of rage

give up your act
******* child,
you've got no idea, do you?

what was poured into you
the time someone else wasted
just to be thrown away

oh, you'd rather not
wouldn't you
admit that you don't know as much as you think

because then you'd be accountable
look me in the eye
and tell me you love me

just like you once did
i'd feel your touch
cold as ice

cold as it was from the beginning
when you held me
like you were reaching for someone far away

and when i could never reach back with the same hand
you ran
so fast and so far

i'm not sure you even existed
in the first
place

Hurt myself?
Don't mind if I do
Of course it only hurts
When it has to do with you

Will I ever feel like I'm enough?

Nothing hurts as much
As the thought that I could never be,
Enough for you,
Enough for me.

Perhaps the end is closer than it seems
Always,
Barrelling forward at maximum speed

So that no one would know,
Until the time came
Quickly,
Quietly,
I would slip away

I could scream no longer,
And the hurt would finally fade

so now i always, always, always
have to be dressed to impress
i can't let myself dress lesser

saying im disgusting

Moonlight,
Set me free
I beg of you,
Hear my plea

I trust you
With every fiber,
Every thread, of my being.
I trust you with my life,
I trust you with my words,
I trust you with my thoughts and all of my deliberate actions.
I trust that you do not lie
And only speak the truth.
That you will let me explore your every visage and face,
That I will meet all of your personalities.
I trust that you will tell me everything,
Every personal detail,
Be it something good, bad, or disgusting.
I trust that every aspect of my life will also be yours,
And that I will never go a day without you.
That I will always have you by my side,
And that you will never choose to leave me.
I trust that you will come to me with your problems, small and large,
Because your issues are mine and mine are yours.
Everything I own, you will own too.
And everything you do, I will do with you.
I hope that you trust me, in that I say,
I will always be here for you,
And I will never deceive you.
I will always be by your side,
And I will never leave you.
I will never depart from you
Until you elect to send me away,
Then and only then,
Will you and I be separated.

Every time I see you
I want to cry.
I want to scream and yell
And I want you to die.
The things that you did
The things that you said,
They only fuel my fire.
Every time I come over
Every time I say I'm fine
I wish you'd just die.
Why can't you just die?
I was five, I was six, I was seven.
I blocked you out until I was eleven.
You took my childhood
You took it all.
And all the therapy sessions
That I have attended
They didn't help me at all.
I was too young;
I had no idea
But then I grew older
And soon that idea
Came to the front of my mind
And I knew that what happened,
That wasn't alright
It wasn't a lie
It deserved all my crying
And for years whenever I saw you,
I wished that I was dying.
But now I can see
What it really did to me
I cried but it's alright
Because now I can look at you
With hatred in my eyes
Not for myself, it wasn't my fault.
But for the monster before me,
Oxygen tank and all.

Sometimes
I hear a gravestone calling my name
Joyous is the day when I answer
insomniatrical Nov 2017
Tell me about the addiction.
About the ruin it has brought you
And all the destruction that you have witnessed
All because you thought you had to try it.

Tell me about how it feels
When your body gets that rush and
You can't tell where you are anymore,
You can't remember what you were trying to forget.

Tell me about the smoke curling in the air
As your mind starts to sprint in every direction possible,
Where there is no up or down
And there's no such thing as stability.

Tell me about the sensations you get,
Do you fly? Do you fall?
Do you lose yourself in color
Or does the world settle to a black and white film?

How long? And when?
The powder has you going too fast.
I can't keep up with you anymore,
And it's almost like that was your goal in the first place.

But I know better,
And I know you.
You might have your ailments,
But this is one you can defeat.

The pain I feel when I see your name show up in my contacts.

I become expressionless like stone, then I shatter.

I was up until 4 a.m. last night,

You guessed it, crying.

From 11 to 4,

I cried.

Six hours I cried,

And hours before, I died.

But getting the news in public,

The news that you were leaving me

You were leaving me again, another time,

It was too much for me to handle and I broke.

My eyes teared up, and I ran off into my head again.

I will never say to your face how much I cried over you.

And trust me if you come around again I'll likely take you back.

Because I'm stupid, and I don't learn my lesson when it's taught to me.

I'd take you back despite the pain and I'd take you back through everything.

I suppose I'm just as weak when it comes to you as you are when it comes to lying.
insomniatrical Mar 2021
You make me kinda sad
You make me kinda mad
When ever I come on to you
And you don't want to ****

I wanna know the how
And all the ins and outs
To try to make you want me
But I haven't had much luck

"AMON, or AAMON, is a great and mighty marques, and commeth abroad in the likeness of a wolf, having a serpents tail, vomiting flames of fire; when he putteth on the shape of a man, he sheweth out dogs teeth, and a great head like a mighty night hawk; he is the strongest prince of all other, and understandeth of all things past and to come, he procureth favor, and reconcile both friend and foe, and rule forthy legions of devils"
From the PSEUDOMONARCHIA DAEMONUM, an excerpt on AAMON that I enjoyed reading.

Long time, no see
Little monster I set free
Terror rampant on the earth,
And I set loose a banshee

The lock is stuck,
And I've lost the key
I became something
That I should never be

Not at least,
What thought was me
But a freak, a beast
On a homicidal spree

Sprawling through the mud,
Crawling on my knees
I ask for any redemption
I beg for any relief

Save me from myself, I cry
Hang me from the trees
Anything, oh anything
To finally feel at peace

He liked one of the songs I played
So much
That he saved it
He plays it
Doing the dishes

He sways against me and sings in my ear
Softly, sweetly
Like a person discovering love
He sings songs he knows,
And songs of his own

Twisting his fingers with mine
Dancing,
Intertwined
Smooth and warm
On the palm of my hand

He is a constant concert,
I dance and hum in tune
The rhythm of his words
From the morning
To the afternoon

Wish I could say I'm not,
Wish I could say I wasn't,
Wish I could say that it never had that effect on me,
But I'd be lying, wouldn't I?
I'm just an addict to you and everyone else,
If they only knew what it was like to be addicted to you.

insomniatrical May 2017
I was

Keeled over
Screaming
In the garage.

I laid in there

I wished that
There was some way
You could feel
My pain,
My sorrow.

I remember thinking that

Every second
That goes by
Is another reminder
Of what I lost.

I had to

Be quiet
Because they were
Sleeping
In the other room.

I could feel my

Heart breaking
As I studied
Your face
Like I would never
See it again.

Because I knew,

Yes I knew,

That I wouldn't.

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.

Shove me away like you want to,
But if you do, don't be careful.
Push me out of your life like you're going to,
But if you do, leave me alone.
Ignore me and neglect me and leave me to my own,
Leave me to love you hopelessly,
Let me burn my own world down
Let me walk into my own trap
Leave me to cry all alone
Ah, love,
I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am in need
Because my lack of inspiration
Brings me to my knees
And I need the concentration
To see, oh to see
Why this case of my damnation
Matters no more
When I can change my life's narration.

Calculators,

I will admit,
I am an addict.
I am a liar.
I am broken, I am bruised, I am beaten.
I am needy.
I am dumb.
I am hurting, I am haunted, I am hopeless.

But you ask me to be everything for you, and so I am.
I must be comfort.
I must be understanding.
I must be stable, I must be stone, I must be strong.
I must not get mad.
I must be patient.
I must be love, I must be kind, I must be unperturbed.

And all I ask of you
Is that you are there.
insomniatrical Nov 2018
I can not cleanse my eyes from all that I have seen
I can not erase all of the places that I have been
I will never live completely clean
And I am of the belief
That no amount of grief
Will take this obscenity from me,
The disgusting side of me that people see
When they hear me speak,
In truth, I am weak.
I am cold and I do tire
Of the events that must transpire.
Of the vibrations of the wire
That make my ears bleed
And my eyes burn with a hellish fire.

In less than a month,

insomniatrical Feb 2019
I'm not sure how we ended up this far
From what we wanted to be
We used to aim for the stars
It's so crazy
To let the one you hold dear
Tell you the biggest lies
Become your biggest fear
We used to dream of a life
Where we would be alright
But that's all gone now
You had your head in the clouds
Now you got both feet on the ground
And I'm scared that your mind is working against you
I can't keep hold of you
You're gone, you're lost, there's no trust
In what we once had
Was it only lust?
I feel you slipping away
Day after day
You say that you'll never leave, that you'll always stay
You'll always be there until the very end
But those are only words
You break when you bend
You're so easy to manipulate
With the drugs and the girls
I thought it was our fate,
To go against the world
To prove them wrong
To put up a fight
But you're stuck now
Locked up another night
Another scream coming from my closed mouth
You call me when you're in, but never when you're out
You say that we can be friends
But it hurts too much
Is this really the end?
I need to feel your touch
But I can't
I'm in a trance
I need to run away
As far, as fast, as I can get in a day
Or two
However long it takes
To be free from you
And all of the lies,
All of the mistakes
That I made
When I gave up and gave in
To every excuse that you made up
I wanna be rid of you now
I'll say it loud
That I'm so glad, after all this time
Of me and you and you and me
I can finally see
Where I ****** up
You're no good for me
I took so long
But now I'm moving on
I don't need the lies,
The ties
To you
That kept me up all night
Just crying
In the dark
I wanted to save any spark
We had,
You mad?
You were always making me sad
You know
That we can add
All the times you did something bad
But I stuck around thinkin we'd make it through,
Looking back now
If I only knew
That it was never us,
It was only you
It was you who went to jail
It was you who needed bail
It was you who told tall tales
We always knew this love would fail
It would fall into a hole
This was the coffin's final nail
We never had a solid goal
Because your plans are always changing,
They're ranging
From like to love to lust
You're always breaking my trust
But I think that it's high time
I got the ***** to say goodbye
We'll never be "us" again
Since you wanna be "just friends"
'i gave my life to you but i wanna be through'
This is an idea that I had a while ago... What if I finally was through?
What if I really did walk away?
insomniatrical May 2018
And for a moment,
My quiet became a storm.
All I thought went from old to new.
And all I knew changed before me.

All I know is that I still do.

Congratulations to the angel that broke my heart,
He knew what he was doing but regardless carried on.
Merciless, overrated,
Love is just a knife, serrated
Ripping and tearing until there's nothing left,
Flesh and bone and soul and heart,
We used to joke and laugh and even bet
About who loved who more
And now we're just friends.

Annoying girls in my class,
You cause me a festering hatred of all that my generation is.
I am pained by the lack of apparent brain in your heads,
You mindless drones,
You brainless robots,
You plastic dolls,
You "do-what-you're-told" barbies.
I think one day you shall find
That drones can be defective,
Robots can malfunction,
Plastic dolls can burn,
And barbies get abandoned.

You drive me wild
with your nicotine kisses.
You keep me calm
with your pipe-dream wishes.
you have me feeling some sort of way,
You have me waking up another day
To see the sun, to smile, to say
That I Love You
How dumb would it be to say that
You're my sun and I am your moon?
When they're always chasing each other but rarely meet.
It's more like you and I are Yin and Yang
to each other, the reverse
Yang and Yin,
Longing forever,
Eternally cursed

I'd give anything
If I could have her.
I'd give anything,
If she could be my world.
I'd give anything to be her man,
I'd give everything.

But she will never see me as more than I am,
A friend,
A brother,
A protector.

I will always try running from my feelings,
Taking girl after girl,
Always trying to make her jealous.

But it never works, and I end up with a broken heart.
And she has guy after guy, making me jealous every time.

I can't have her because we're too much like family,
Always close, but never close enough.
How cursed did I have to be to almost be her cousin?
If it were not for a summer love so long ago,
She would not even know me.

I wish I would never have even known her.
Like a whirlwind she came and did a number on my head,
Like a siren she calls but I can never run to her,
I can never indulge myself in her touch.
She teases without even knowing she's doing it.

I'd give anything to have never known her,
Because love never had is preferable over love always chased after.
I can never have her but she has me.

How depressing it is that I must tell you this,
If not you, then not anyone.
Besides, I would much rather profess my love to strangers than to the girl who unknowingly has my heart.
Even if she does know,
She must not think anything of it.

Because I am only her friend,
Her brother,
Her protector.
She will never see me as more than I am.
A friend of mine is going through this right now and I asked him if I could write about it.   The situation is weird.
His mother was once engaged to her uncle. They would have been cousins, but since his mother and her uncle didn't get married, they never were. Now, his mother and her uncle stayed friends. He hung out with their family so much anyways that he was basically part of the family. And she started calling him her  "brother", the protector that would beat up anyone to keep her safe.

This happened when he was around seven-eight years old. He is now 16, and has had a crush on her since he was ten. She still doesn't know.
The only reason I know is because I saw it, I could tell, and I asked him about it. He ended up confessing to me and told me not to tell anyone, especially her. Since he confided to me when we were 14, I haven't told anyone, and he continues to chase girl after girl so he can attempt to forget about her.

He's so afraid of rejection by her that he even ignores her completely when he feels he has the willpower to do so.

I'd like to see a flower
Blooming in the snow,

    Bright as the sun
      Vibrant as a cardinal
        And beautiful in its frailty.

But I'd love to see a flower,
Living in the cold,

    Steadier than a stone
      Stubborn in the face of death
        And dignified in its stance.

I am sorry.  
I will not rest until you know that I am
My eyes will not be dry,
Until you understand how bad I feel.

I am tired.
I haven't slept.
I won't sleep until you pick up the phone
So I can cry and apologize profusely.

I love you so.
I'd do anything for you,  
And I'd never intentionally hurt you.
I'm sorry I brought him up.
I know how protective you are.

I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry

I feel like I must say it,
Over and over again,
Even when you accept my apology,
Because I will still feel bad.

I will still be sad,
Even though I am glad
I may even be mad
Because I knew better.

I knew what to do,
I knew what to say
And yet I failed you anyway.

All of the coolest ones,
All of the most souped up ones.

But I bet,
That even if you got your wish,

No matter how remodeled the car is,
No matter how cool the car is,
No matter how fast the car is,

You still can't seem to find a way to be here when I need you.

So would you accept my beating heart instead?
I know it's not worth much right now,

To get me through until my heart stops beating
Maybe tomorrow, maybe today,
I need to clear my agenda anyway.

Father please,
Stop yelling,
My ears begin to bleed.

Mother please,
Stop slamming things,
I tremble in my chair.

Sister please,
Stop pacing the house,
I become so unsettled.

Amidst the noises,
Of the television on,

The yelling

And the slamming,

And the pacing,

There is no quiet.

My mind is jumbled
And I cannot focus on anything.
My hands shake as
I want to throw and hit things.
There is so much noise,
So much loudness,
I am losing myself and I want to rip myself apart and I want to cry and
I want to scream
STOP!


But I can only sit.

I can only cover my ears,

I can only look away,

I can only retreat inside once again.

I can only try to remember when this wan't happening.

I can only hold tightly onto my own hands and hope this ends soon.


And yet,
I may wish,
And I may wish again.

Rugged thief run,
Tear my heart in two.
I've had no fun,
Being here with you.
Some days I'm beauty and some days I'm grace,
Others I'll punch you in your face.
And most of them, well-
They're a living hell.
Why do I feel so out of place?
There's nothing wrong with confidence,
If only I weren't so dense.
Because beauty and excuses
Have no good uses
As long as we're broken and bent.

She is a deep ocean blue in a world of desert beige,
For the water always makes the sand look better.
She is a wonderful black cat, purring her way across the room,
Her pads touching the floor with every delicate step.
Her claws are sharp,
But only if she shows them to you.
And her magick is strong,
Because she believes.
She will lead you through the thicket,
Slinking long through the bushes,
And showing you to a wonderful clearing,
Alight with creatures and enchantment alike.
Her aura swirls about her, golden and bright,
But she is humble, she is kind, she is wise.
She is strong, but she will yield,

And as Lao Tzu has said,

"He does not show off, therefore he shines.
He does not justify himself, therefore he is revered.
He does not boast, therefore he is honored.
He does not praise himself, therefore he remains.
Because he opposes no one,
No one in the world can oppose him,"

There she is,
The strongest of any,
She who knows how to yield and overcome.

I just wanna kiss you
But you're not around
Haunting like a ghost upon the grounds
Of my mind
And I can't find you

And I hope you know
That I know
We can never be what we were
And that's okay

Cheap tattoo gun
"Will you be my canvas?"
Never your fault,
It's never your fault?
Always what's done and never what you do
I don't know if I want that tattoo.
What happened to your cars
Is that their fault as well?
Matching Grand Prix
Red, white, white, red
Two 'kickass' Nissan Maximas
And a five speed Dodge Neon that's falling apart.
What happens to plans when you cancel last minute,
How come it is that you never make time?
Work, work, work,
And then you're always late.
She told me to fix it or we couldn't date.
You need to be on time, is that too much to ask?
But whenever I do, I just feel like an ***.
I feel so terrible when I get upset
But I know I have the right and I know that I'm allowed.
I get so ******* when they complain that we're too loud
As if they have to listen
As If I really care.
As if they have no choice but to stay there.
The other day, he said you spanked me
But more of the time,
It just feels like you yank me
In different directions, so many directions,
Angry, sad, sadder, happy.
It feels like I don't know what to do and it feels like neither do you
It feels like we don't know each other, but am I lying to myself,
Do I only love the thought of you?

That we could stay up late.

There's a million ways
For this poem to end.
