We reminisce

each passing year

and forget what

is already here

We only live the

moments and await

for another sad

and nostalgic state

They don't know how it feels

to awake every morning,
and all they can wonder is
why they had even awoken

They don't know how it feels

to pick up all of their pieces,
and put them back together
but still feel like they're broken

They don't know how it feels

to say all that they can say,
and still feel like there's more
but every word has been spoken

They don't know how it feels

to go to sleep every night,
and the only hope they have
is that their eyes will not open

would it be selfish of me to say
          *i can't help...
     i hurt too much
in the deepest and utmost corner of my heart
the pain is being hidden

and on the outside
you will witness
my sweetest smile

if only
you will catch a glimpse
behind those eyes
is the loneliness that being kept

if only
you will stop and stare for awhile
you will find out
that i am in despair

i was wondering
if the saying

"in the eyes you will see the real feelings of a person"

is true

because why can't you see?

that i am

alone

crying

and

dying

inside?*

the twin of love is pain
I know
That you
Miss me
Because
You know why???
Because
I ignored
You

I mean
I faked it


( I'm going to pretend like I ignore you till you love me)
"fake it till you make it"
I could love you.
If you'd let me.
Let's be real.
I'm just as scared as you are.

You're not ready.
I don't know if I've ever been ready.
Things just happen.
Suddenly something changes.

Different feelings start to seep in.

Let them.
Let me.
Let you.
Love me.
Love you.

I've come to love the way
the wire wraps itself around my mind
and chokes out the unwarranted memories of our blissful times together.

I welcome the burn
that lands in my throat,
eroding all the words I couldn't bare to swallow before.

I curl at the cold that settles in my belly.
The cold that chases all butterflies away.

I shudder at the realization that my knees
don't get to tremble and shake
at the touch of your lips anymore.

Its done.

You've killed love for me.

Love and all its turmoil.
