are you as lonely as me?
tired of not being what you're "going to be?"
only to be ripped away when you're going to sleep
curiously flawed images provide poetry.
distorted reality is something to see
hanging from the canopy of a dark and lifeless tree
broken at the knees are your silenced pleas
you let your being be free as you mentally flee
so long glee and the attachments of thee
ask yourself now, are you as ****** as me?
its times like these, realities
transformed by wicked truth
dragged beneath the deepest seas
and chewed by satan's tooth
the fragile words of honesty
lay between the lies
while lying there shrunken in size
they sigh their muffled cries
but its no use for them to use
the energy inside
because whats left, cocooned by death
is better left alive.
i know i should not let you love me
but i am far too selfish.
this wilted farce that masks my life
has left you dead and helpless
the wrenching torment that persists
like dark and violent fire
is evidence as this abyss ascends to my desire.
a sinking force with no remorse evacuates the sky
down it thrusts, thus crushing us:
           r     e  m
                        n  a     n  t 
                                                s           
        of    yo  u             and               i.
there you sit, you perfect thing
with just enough to cry
you slowly drag your broken wings
knowing they'll never fly.
like a bee that knowingly
stings its life goodbye
now post-attack cannot go back
but it was worth a try
it seems pointless leaving the nest
to risk your life for death
but close you'll bee
still showing me
you'll breath my poison breath.
theres something in you
I've been shown
that something there
has only grown
something has been there for so long
and please correct me if I'm wrong
about it, ill go on and on
id hate to be there when its gone
the more i know and do adore
the more i want to know you more
if lately I've been acting strange
it is because nothing has changed
so take from this just what you will
if all else fails
                             ill be there still.
i love you
in a bathtub full of cigarette butts
you feel the cuts from where the what happened was
the tiles clean
the main scenes agleam
serene
the way it'd been flossed in between
so many wished evade desire
the smoldering questions start a fire
a breeding fawn bleeds slowly on
the withering cactus on the lawn
though not too far
beneath the moon
would the dark's ending begin soon
and the same **** thing when the owl sings
at the wingless being only he sees

because the right thing never mattered too much
as another lost friendship fuels a crutch
stare from square one
and request a redo
glare at a scared son
for what he can see through
turn the light out now
if you need to
and open up wider
while i feed you.
Tonight I realized that
you weren't the one
who wrecked me,
ruined me,
or destroyed me.

It was me.

Because only I
have the power to
do that to myself.

                                        I destroyed myself
                                        by loving you.
Today your status
Changed from we're expecting
To were expecting
One apostrophe
A catastrophe
Breaks your heart
Wide open
Then smashes it shut
Constricting tightly
Squeezing the life out you
Black and white words
Mono-tone letters
Too far removed from reality
Technological communication
Taken so casually
Can't distinguish between
Honesty and fakery
And the world can't see
The hidden emotions
The tone of your pain
Jokes taken seriously
And cries for help
Mocked and received lightly
Then we sit and wonder
After we poke fun and ridicule
How we never thought it could happen
Head in our hands and ponder
What pushed our classmates and colleagues
Over the edge
What made them stand out on that ledge
Whilst you stood on the firm ground
And recorded
A viral youtube sensation
Robotic motions

Smiley faces after every sentence

Force of habit
Or forced smiles
L O L
To offset the seriousness
Of the carefully chosen letters
Put together to hide
The broken person inside
Behind the screen
We're all google scholars
Somewhere through a screen
We've lost how to be human
When an Aries meets a scorpio
There are two ways that it can go
They can each take a separate road
Or they can stay there and explode

For one; the deepest darkest water
The other; raging flame
Two powerful antagonists
The greatest in the game

The fire lunges toward the title
The tidal takes a turn
They cannot help but share a smile
As they crash and burn

They recognize the reigning strength
That both are quick to learn
They know just where to place the pain
For victory to be earned

The water aims to suffocate
The fire that evaporates
His effort to manipulate
Her vicious lack to hesitate

Contradictory opposites
Bewildered by desire
Melt into each other's arms
As both begin to tire

The steam is screaming let me in
A stalemate stops the fight
They realize only both can win
This battle here tonight.
