I believe in God
Not the untouchable omnipotent man in a fiery cloud spreading hell fire to mankind
But a gentle man who hugs me in pain
He provides light in darkness
He speaks to me, He is not dead
He wants us all to return to him, he wishes no harm upon his children.
He loves me.
He loves you.
He sees you.

It's not that
I didn't know what I had
It's just that
I never thought I'd lose it

You quit telling me I was beautiful
So I told myself I was not
You quit saying goodnight
So I told myself these nights are no good
You quit wrapping me in your embrace
So I wrapped the belt around my neck instead
You quit clutching onto my arms
So I clutch them with razor blades
You quit putting your hands around my waist
So I quit feeding that waist
Somewhere in this love story
You quit knowing I existed
So I made myself cease to exist
You quit talking to me
And now I never shall

Everyone feels lonely
We all suffer from alienation
You think by now we'd have learned
To band together in solitude
I battle demons
You battle addictions
But together we can share in our pain

If only you realised
every single one of us
has problems and worries
guilt and insecurity,
then you'd realise you're just as
lonely as the rest of us
Which makes you not so alone,
Now does it?

You shower me with love
I shower you with good intentions

Here's one for the times
You felt used but useless

The notebooks are lined up on my shelf
Each filled with scrawls of words
Spilled out by my pen
I've always written out of anger
No one listens, but the paper soaks it all in
My only coping mechanism is my hand
But now there's another notebook
Filled with sweet memories,
And perfectly happy instances
And on the cover of this, a title
I've given this happy notebook a name
And it's named after you
