i lay here beneath
the wall of clocks
you created for me

the sound
of their ticking in unison—

a deafening reminder
that you once
made time for me
but you don’t
anymore
Smoking alone on a corner,
wishing you were here,
asking for a smoke,
begging to be there
in that land far away
as we wait for the lane
to stop, so we walk.

Yet here I stand alone,
cigarette in hand,
Slowly going mad
how i wish you there,
asking me for a smoke,
so that i may tease you,
and make hearty jokes.

I wish you were there,
My angel my fae
I long for the day
where we go together,
waiting for the streetlights
roaming the city as if it were ours
not caring as we venture forth
My fae, my pixi, my darling dearest.
Soon, As soon as the moon rises and sets,
We shall take this town over,
we shall reign as queen and king,
we shall reign as monarchs,
ruling in secret, as not let the world
taint our love.
i didnt lie.

Goodbye to the tears rolling down my cheeks
Goodbye to the bleeding through my sheets
Goodbye to fighting a battle I'll never win.
Goodbye to a world full of sin.
Goodbye to a hopeless night.
Goodbye...I lost my fight.
Yeah idk This just kind of came out of my brain. I hope you guys like it!
Autumn hovering
Leaves steady falling
Like forgotten memories
"I loathe all hypocrisy
and courageously endure my own."
How much pain
Can one take
Till the soul fragments
Into a million pieces
And you just
Stop existing.

You wanted to know the real me  
So I introduced you to my depression
You wanted to know why
So I introduced you to my obsession
You wanted to know how to fix it
So I introduced you to the drugs
You wanted to know the feeling
So I introduced you to the plugs
Now we self destruct together
And it’s all my fault
Too many introductions
Now you’re falling apart
I’m sorry that I caused this
I can never get to close
dragged you into my darkness
Now we take the same dose
Guilt is an understatement.

ran
And maybe I have been
so familiar with being
out of this place
That when someone willing
to shelter me came,
I ran my life out of it.

Or maybe I have been
so into out of love
That when he came
and offered his heart,
I had no idea how to handle it.

So I ran my heart away.

when i got sad,
the world didn’t lose its colors.
the trees were still a vivid green,
the sky bright blue-

it just stopped being enough.
just an observation
