I am a ******* human being-
not some project to be worked on,
tweaked or fixed.
I have learned to love myself.
Flaws, scars, mistakes in all.
If you don't like who I am-
do me a favour and leave.
That's more useful than you trying to fix me.

It doesn't hurt any more.
I don't see your face when I wake up.
I don't crave your arms at 2:21 am-
when I can't sleep.
I don't close my sleepy eyes and,
wonder where you are.

I'm happy for you-
and the love you have found.
Isn't that when you know that it's over-
and you've moved on?
When you can be genuinely happy for someone.

I hope you are happy for me too.
I'd hate for us to get stuck in the same old loop.
The cycle of us wanting what we can't have.
Be happy for me and I'll stay happy for you.

You say "I don't love you" like a sultry posion that instead of headed for my heart takes its sweet time- travels through my veins and unwinds every good memory we've ever had. This happens slowly at first attacking the memories from years ago and then picks up speed as it tears apart the memory of the walk in the park from last week. Showing me- all the signs I had missed. The uninterested stare, the glance at the pretty girl that I over looked. Teasing me- as if to say I should have seen this coming. I should have seen you leaving.

You leaving never occurred to me- until you spoke those four words sweet as candy.

We are always planning for it-
yearning for it.
Saying things will be better-
in the future,
but what is the future, really?
The next day? The next moment?
The future is what we make of it.
Stop waiting for tomorrow-
for it may never come.
Live your life <3

Everyone says when you find the one
you'll know. The world will spin,
birds will chirp, and a chorus will sing.
Every wrong in your life will become right.

I think it's a bit more like this.
Your world gets set on fire.
That person infuriates you,
but like a car crash-
you can't look away.

Sure with them,
the world is sunshine and rainbows and kittens-
that's the honeymoon phase-
it will fade.

Next comes real love.
The arguing, the screaming, the sleepless nights-
but don't worry you'll make up.
This time,
and maybe the next time too-
if you're lucky.

Then comes the end.
The defeat- the "just leave"-
or "I can't do this anymore"
The aching hole- tear stained pillows-
wondering what in the world happened.
"where did I go wrong?"

But don't worry-
just as love fades,
it will one day begin again.
Take your time-grieve if needed,
just keep your heart open.
Each time it gets better,
Only to get worse,
Each time I write a letter,
It's like I seal a curse

But I'm still here.
Somehow I'm still breathing.
But somewhere on the way.
My heart stopped beating.

Now I don't know what it is,
I feel in my chest,
But if you can't handle my worst,
Why should you get my best?

You put a silence to my vibrance,
A stop in my groove,
Squeezed out all the color,
And dimmed my mood.

I wanted a little help.
Something to get by,
It's kinda hard to do,
When you can't get high

High enough to contain,
All the rage and the pain,
It's never seemed to matter,
But I'll try and explain

I want a little warmth,
Something not cold,
Maybe something real,
True, strong, and bold.

You could show me a world,
That I have never seen,
A seldom experience,
Far and inbetween

Take me to a place,
Where I'm not all wrong.
Where I can just sit,
And sing you my song

Free of any judgement,
Away from prying ears.
I'll tell you all my secrets,
And each of my fears.

And you can wipe away,
All these old tears,
Scrape off the rust,
From these past years,

You're always so close,
But yet so far.
I always wanna tell you,
When we're in the car.

But I never do,
I just keep moving.
I wish you the best,
whatever your doing.

It's not your fault,
That you touched my heart.
You had no idea,
What three words could start.
This one means a lot.

It’s times like this when I miss you.
When I know you are the only one who understands the anger that will soon turn to tears.
When the laughter of friends has faded.
When my friends sleep peacefully-
And I just sit and stare.
Still so ******* confused as to how badly we ****** up.
Trying to comprehend the end.
Knowing you could solve this all for me-
With just a smile.
Yea..I miss you at moments like this.
