Never leave me in a place you can find
Hang up your curtains to shield me from the sun
I am your darkest secret
You better keep me in a place you can’t find
Never find me bleached from the sun
I am your darkest secret
Don’t let me rest in your head
Bury me in the ground instead
I am your darkest secret
Don’t let me ever be found
I really don't know why I wrote this or what this even is. My fingers just started typing and I let them.
Ironatmosphere May 2013
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
Ironatmosphere Jan 2015
I don’t like it
when people
look at me.
I’m always afraid
that they will see
the cracks
in my soul,
and realize
that they don’t even
want me
as a shadow.
All the words that occupied my mind disappeared into the oblivion.

Mother, I did my best
I won the prize
Do you love me now?
Mother, I studied my hardest
I got an A
Do you love me now?
Mother, I behaved
I was nice to my brother and sister
Do you love me now?
Mother, I did what you asked
And more
Do you love me now?
Mother, I ran out of ideas
I don’t know if there is anything I can do
*What can I do to make you love me?
Ironatmosphere May 2014
Do you remember when we were little?
Do you remember the time
We made snow angels
In May
And mum got upset
Because our clothes were stained by grass
But we didn’t care
We just lay in the grass full of daisies
And looked up
At the endless sea of stars
And it was just a little bit too cold
And a little bit too damp
But we really didn’t care
Because those stars
Those stars
They were the most beautiful things
We had ever seen
Ironatmosphere Jan 2016
I know I might never have you
That you might never be mine
But in my head we have adventures
We travel the world
And we lie singing in your bed
Staring up at the ceiling
Where we have painted stars
To remember that time we slept outside
Or was that just in my head?

I know I might never have you
But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming
Or quietly whispering your name
When no one is around to hear
It doesn’t stop these cravings I have for you
It doesn’t stop my fingers from itching
Or stop me from wanting to run my fingers through your hair
It doesn’t stop my curiosity of what you smell like
But really, I would be happy just breathing the same air

I know I might never have you
That you might never be mine
But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about you all the time
Ironatmosphere May 2013
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
Ironatmosphere Nov 2013
It’s hard to realize that we are all dying
I am dying
With every breath I take
With every step I take
I get closer
I just hope that I will live all the seconds I have left
I just hope that when I die
I will have done almost as much living as dying
From the moment I took my first breath
I was dying
From this moment
As I take this breath
I will
Start
*Living

It is easy with you
in a way I never thought it could be
And I think it might be the real deal

You see me
You want me
the real me

The boy that broke my heart never even knew me
he thought I was easy
for giving him my all
when all he did was take
When I met him I was ready to be free
and he caged me in fear
I wasn't easy and neither was the situation

But with you.
I was ready to stop looking
when you found me
Ironatmosphere Aug 2013
I don’t love you anymore,
but
the echo
is still there
from when I told you I did.
Not that you were listening
Ironatmosphere Dec 2013
I don’t let people in
I am my own therapist
No one gets to see the inside of this emotional carcass

My secrets are guarded
By seemingly logical thoughts
They can’t escape through my sewn together lips
Even if I would want them to

I am my own therapist
I don’t let people in
*ever
Ironatmosphere Jan 2013
Empty sky filled with smoke
No more bursts of light
Suicidal snowflakes tumbling down
hitting tired ground
It's last year's funeral
This year's birth
The sun will shine again
Even though it hurts
Ironatmosphere Feb 2014
I want to enjoy
the world
before
we ruin
it.
Ironatmosphere Nov 2015
If I could
I would catch happiness
And save it in a jar
Ironatmosphere Jul 2020
A kiss
Erased
By another
Pair of lips
But not forgotten
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
You’re an ever present ghost
Haunting my mind
Rushing pictures of you
Making me blind

Thoughts of you
Paint my dreams
Making ever present pieces of art
The melody of you
Beating in my heart
Ironatmosphere Mar 2014
They say that every road leads somewhere
And
To just keep going.
But I want nothing more than to lie down on the pale asphalt
And stare at the stars
Forever,
Because I can’t possibly believe that any moment,
Any other moment,
Big or small,
Could be any better
Than this.
Ironatmosphere Sep 2013
I’ll be yours
Until
Every star has fallen down
And the sun has swallowed this lovely green planet
We call
Home
And upon those stars, I will wish for you.
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
I’m not a stalker
I’m not
I just monitor your little green Facebook dot

I keep waiting for a sign
That you'll someday be mine
But all I see is you on her Facebook timeline
Ironatmosphere May 2017
I wish I would just cease to exist
Evaporate into nothingness
I want to become tiny water droplets
To be the moisture in the air

I wish to follow the wind
Over the mountains and fields
I want to be the blue in the ocean
And the green in the trees

I wish to fade into the wet grass
Of being nothing more than a whisper
I want to fade out of your memory
Leaving only an echo of a heartbeat
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
I fade away
From reality
Whenever I think
About you
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
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

Fall is beautiful
Every leaf
Cracking
Breaking with color
Exploding
Like fireworks
Ironatmosphere Sep 2017
Lately I’ve been fascinated by evil
As if the heaviness inside would be better of as darkness
Because if it was then maybe I could take these stones
that are weighing me down
And throw them far, far away
Removing them one by one
Until I was finally weightless
Floating
Free
Ironatmosphere May 2013
My feelings for you
Are a fickle illusion
At times clear as day
Beaming brightly
Stinging my eyes
Yet at other times
Translucent
Fading
Leaving only an echo
Of an illusion
That once shined so brightly
It hurt my eyes
Ironatmosphere Oct 2014
I feel invisible
I am on mute
Nothing I say seems to register
I am not interesting
I am nothing
I am just a filler
Filling out some leftover space
I am the introns in your mRNA
I just happen to be there
I just happen to exist
But I might as well could not
I'll be invisible 'til I rot
Ironatmosphere Jun 2020
I just want love
From someone
Who isn't intent
On destroying
Me
Ironatmosphere Oct 2013
Three dimensions
360 degrees
A rainbow of color
A bang and a sizzle
Leaving only a cloud of empty smoke
A bottomless hole of nothingness
Ironatmosphere Jun 2020
You know,
I really thought
I could fix you
but you didn't ask for that
so
You broke me
just so that I would have something else to do
Ironatmosphere Jun 2020
I have to thank you
for being my muse
For flooding my once dried up stream
with an entire ocean

It was disastrous and wonderful
I almost drowned
before I remembered how to swim

but now here I am
floating on the surface
Words that wouldn't stop
I should have brought you a life vest
Ironatmosphere Aug 2013
You are etched in my mind
It’s like someone has taken a nail
And carved your name
Into the soft mushy texture of my brain
Where it will remain
Forever
Ironatmosphere Oct 2013
There is a heart
Pulsating inside my chest
Glowing
Forever glowing
Radiating love
Ironatmosphere May 2017
My plants are dying
I have lost my perception of time
It moves like the water I keep forgetting when to give them

Sometimes I feel myself staring into the darkness
And I can’t remember the last time I blinked
Or how long I’ve been there

I can’t answer the simple question of what I’ve been doing all day
Because I can’t remember if what happened,
Happened today or if it happened at all

I can’t tell my imagination from reality
I don’t know what is really happening
And what is just a dream

So, I think my plants will keep dying
But maybe some of them
Will even outlive me
Ironatmosphere Oct 2013
For one moment I’ll just let myself forget
That you are hers
For one moment you’ll be mine
Even if you don’t know it
You’ll be mine
And I,
I‘ll be yours
For this moment
And every moment after that

She looked so fragile
A porcelain doll
Fragile but beautiful with protruding bones
Sadness colored her brown eyes blue
As her heart struggled to beat another beat or two
Ironatmosphere Jun 2020
Today I feel free
as if the words weighing me down
have all been expelled from my body

You don't have power over me anymore
Even if I wouldn't say no
to having your skin pressed against mine
one more time

we were not made for romance
we were not made for love

We were two puzzle pieces that fit together
but from two different boxes
we didn't make sense
we didn't come from the same picture
But it was fun when it lasted
Ironatmosphere Feb 2014
The future lies before us
It's one long beautiful adventure
and I
I cannot wait to reach it
Because I
I have tasted a smidgen of freedom
And now
I Want More
I want
All
of
it
Ironatmosphere Sep 2013
The future lies before us
untouched like fresh snow.
Ironatmosphere Jun 2014
And I know we are far gone
When your “later” is code for “never”
And I’m the one desperately trying to start a conversation
I know we are far, far gone
When everything else is prioritized before me
I know we are gone forever
When you’ve not only stopped telling me your secrets
You have stopped telling me anything
I know that there is no turning back
When I haven’t seen you in months
Even though there is only an eight minute walking distance between us
I know that we have materialized into nothing
When all the conversations I have with you are held inside my mind
I know that we are gone
Ironatmosphere May 2014
I will say goodbye to the walls
And everything they have ever seen
I will say goodbye to the floor
And all the feet that ever walked on it
I will say goodbye to the lamp hanging from the ceiling
And all the light it ever shed
I will say goodbye to the house I grew up in
Without knowing if it is for *forever
Ironatmosphere Jun 2014
It feels like I’ve forgotten something
Like there is something I should go back and get
But the truth is that I lost something
And I’ll never find it
It won’t be in a lost-and-found
It won’t be anywhere
I lost
A piece of myself
And I’ll never get it back
Because the part of my life that piece lived in
It is over
And it can’t be repeated
*ever
I’m not sure whether that is good or bad
Ironatmosphere Jan 2013
Your eyes
I used to think they were grey
I didn’t see it
The black and white rainbow
The sulking mist
The cold ice
The foggy sky
The dancing moonlight
The filthy snow
I didn’t see the beauty
In bleak, depressing things
Till I fell for you
Ironatmosphere Dec 2017
Sometimes life feels like
a punishment
Like it is this thing
that is keeping you,
Stopping your soul
from being intertwined
in the treetops
Or roaming free
in the waves
And dancing
in the wind

And then the guilt comes creeping
Shouldn't you be happy?
Shouldn't you be content?
You have so much
How dare you ask for more?
Ironatmosphere Jun 2020
I feel guilty
For loving you
More than
You gave me permission to
Even though you were the one breaking hearts
Ironatmosphere Jan 2014
Why does it crack you up?
Is the idea of
Someone
Loving
Me
So preposterous
That you can’t keep that laughter of yours
From spilling out of your mouth like poisoned arrows?
Ironatmosphere May 2014
I will take the knife you put in my back when I wasn’t looking
And push it through my flesh till it graces my heart
And nicks it just enough for the pain to come flooding out
Then I’ll paint you a portrait
Red with pain
And wrap it up with a bow on top
Because I would never forget your birthday
Or to congratulate you
As you grow one step closer to death
Because that is something that's actually worth celebrating
Ironatmosphere May 2020
I will never forget the way you looked at me
before everything changed
You looked at me like I shone like gold
You saw my imperfections and you praised them

Then you took it way
And I will never be the same
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
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
Guess I’m more heartless now than ever
Ironatmosphere Mar 2017
In the most beautiful of places
Oceans made of mirrors,
a sky made of glass

In a golden forest of green
hides
a hell

Screaming souls
trapped in cages,
feeding on their own bodies

Their entire existence,
A dance
of pain
