You're words mean nothing
You're actions mean nothing
You're aniexty means nothing
You're pain means nothing
You're stress means nothing
You're feelings mean nothing.

You're soul is empty
You're love is untrue
You're vision is blurred
You're heart is black
You're touch is sickly
You're breath is disturbing
You're name is traumatising

The day you stuck the knife in further,  I decided I wouldn't let you win.
The day you stuck the knife in further I realised you didn't care.
The day you stuck the knife in deeper I realised you're evil.

We will end this, I will be free from you.

Icarus
I will never meet the expectations you have of me.
While I grow to reach them, they grow faster.
They grow like vines,
Twisting.
Squeezing.
Climbing.
Suffocating.
Constricting.
­They strangle me, and I cannot fight them off.
Cannot bear to appear less than them.
I.
Will.
Not.
Be.
Less.
But it seems it is too late for that.
I am always less
To you.
Staring down at the rope,
Rethinking every life choice.
Wishing to be dead,
Messages are already sent.
There is no going back.
I get the rope tie it around my neck,
I can't hang it anywhere.
I tighten the rope,
Vision went blurry.
I can't hear anything,
Ringing in my ears is too loud.
Its been 10 minutes,
I didn't go unconscious.
I just gave up.
Woke up with my face blue.
Its kinda bad
"You have severe arterial fibrillation . You need attention now or you may have a stroke and die ."
I said Doc , "I'm not afraid of dying . I'm afraid of living."
I‘ve looked at you for a long time;
Your wish to be extraordinary
Is that yours or mine?

Is it narcissistic tugging at my soul;
the world
Or do you make it whole?

I‘ve looked at you for a long time
Searched for your flaws
But I found mine

Love;
Why have you left some souls behind?
And is that your fault
Or is that mine?
Often,
I feel like,
I am a door,
For people to go through,
To get better off than me.
This has been the only one of these I've done where the lines count perfectly without any effort, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

A Poet
The crinkle by your eye,
red flustered cheeks,
when your sly smiles starts to rise,
warms my soul.

Keep smiling, keep laughing,
your happiness, a buzzball of fun.
Invigorating, inviting & pure.
filling this world with delight.

Smile, always smile and be happy.

Nemusa
Bouquet of regret,
Petals wilt with each footstep,
Vows fade in the breeze.
