The future lies before us
untouched like fresh snow.

My heart is a circus animal
Confided in a cage
Scratching at the walls
The visible pain invisible
To people passing by

You are a soap bubble
Beautifully shaped and shining
Glowing in every color of the spectrum
The wind can take you *anywhere

I don’t love you anymore,
but
the echo
is still there
from when I told you I did.

I took pictures of my eyes
And what do you know
My pupils were bigger when I thought of you

Your smile is sunshine
Like actual physical sunshine
Life
Energy
It’s practically beaming off your face in rays
Making my heart **warm

I laugh
Just a little bit too loud
Around you

I’m drowning
I swear
I’m drowning
I’m drowning in the essence of you
Thoughts of you
Are weighing me down
Like anchors
Making it impossible
To escape
The deep waters I’m in

He walked in with a bounce in his step
Miniature trampolines strapped to his shoes
Unaware
Of the fact that
His presence hurt
Like an ant under a magnifying glass
On a really sunny summer day

And I try to ignore
The little knife
Digging into my heart
When I see you
Holding back tears
That only exist
Because of her

Honestly
I don’t understand
Why the hell you give a ****
Let them think whatever
They probably don’t even do
I’m sorry
But for most
There are things
More important
Than you

It’s a secret
That I love you
It’s so secret
I didn’t tell you
I didn’t tell my friends
I didn’t even tell myself

Unlike a sliver of cake
That sliver of hope
Made me feel whole
Complete
But then
The realization hit
And that little sliver
Turned into
Numbness

There are people
Without food
There are people
Without shelter
There are people
Without family or friends
And then there is me
Crying
Because I can’t
Have
You

You are like a tulip in a sea of dandelions.

She stood there waiting for a love letter
That would never arrive ...

...because it had never been written

They say you fall in love.
But you don’t just fall down,
Scraping your knees.
Love smacks you
Hard
Right in the face,
Leaving
A huge
Invisible
Bruise
All over
Your soul.

I missed him all weekend
And then
He wasn’t there

Run
There’s no one stopping you
Run
Just try to get away
Run
Till the edge of today
Run
Till you reach tomorrow

Cold dark night
Spread your mighty fright
Envelope me with thoughts of despair
In the morning I’ll pretend you were never here

I painted a picture of you
In my head
After a few seconds
It had spread
Infecting my body like virus
The idea of a perfect you
Shutting everything out

I dreamt in the daylight
Gave you qualities you never had
Forgetting who you really were
My heart longed for someone
Who didn’t truly exist

I fell in love with a perfect picture
I fell in love with an idea
I fell in love with an illusion
Not you, in conclusion

They told me the tale of a fairytale place
Filled with a beauty I had yet to face
The most harmonic tunes one would ever hear
And as many butterflies you’d like, my dear
Everything tasted better than your favorite ice cream
A more wonderful place than one could ever dare dream
I climbed up the ladder into the sky above
On my quest to find some infinite love

They told me the tale of a fairytale place
Filled with a beauty I had yet to face
The most harmonic tunes one would ever hear
And as many butterflies you’d like, my dear
Everything tasted better than your favorite ice cream
A more wonderful place than one could ever dare dream
I climbed up the ladder into the sky above
On my quest to find some infinite love

The clouds, they darkened, I let out a scream
Oh no I thought, it’s not what it seem
The lies, they haunted me to my core
A bit ashamed I’ll admit I swore
They told me the tale of a fairytale place
I was sorry to find out: it was not the case

A dragon appeared, spreading fire
I was filled with a fear that’ll never tire
But as the warrior I thought of myself to be
I knew I should not, could not try to flee
Looking around, I found a thrown away sword
Advancing towards the dragon, I tripped on a cord
Inspecting further I realized it was a chain
The dragon, in fact a prisoner in pain

I freed the dragon, making it tame
Unfortunately, the clouds still aflame
Rushing down the ladder there was no time to dwell
I couldn’t care less of how I ended up in hell
But I was happy; I had made a new friend
Surprisingly this is The End

Waking up
Hands covered in blood
Chest aching
Nothing but a hole left
Seems like I
Drunk on dreams
Ripped it out
And mailed it to you
