Company drains the meeting

The happiness that is fleeting
That special feeling
Of paint peeling from the ceiling
looking at the floor
Hoping to find more

Of what?

The peices that tore.

lonely inside where the hollow abides
How do i keep it away?

I need your guidance
But i dont want you to stay

If you go, just come back!
Ill find your way,
The shades of white turn black.
The big picture; scared of the frame.
Blank colors..
All that remain.

I dont know
I dont care
Wait..

Im lieing

Its just not fair..

WHAT THE ****!?
who sees my flare?

..im waiting
So tell me if you see it..

And bring a light
Because this hollow void wants me to keep it
Stop trying to remember his scent, he smelled like summer and reminds you of the time he made you laugh so hard, you snorted out milk on that dead, hazy day.

2. Don't waste your day trying to decipher what colour his eyes were, it'll only remind you of the galaxies and constellations that you once saw in his eyes

3. Stop trying to retrace the shape of his mouth in the middle of the night, you'll choke on your tongue trying to taste the mint he devoured seconds before pulling you in for a kiss

4. Stop reliving the times you clasped hands together, the glass plate will fall off your trembling hands.

5. Burn this list, admit that the galaxies and constellations shining in his eyes were wilted, the one in yours are bursting with fire. Remember on the dead, hazy day his laugh sounded like nails running down a chalkboard. Remember when you kissed, the weeds growing from his mouth entangled the roses blooming in yours.

Realize that one day, another boy is going to come and plant daisies where he left behind thorns.

you want us to be closer

you want us to be forever

you want us to be stronger

you want us to step farther

you want us to dream bolder

you want us to be over

you want us to get over

you want us to be strangers

but you know what?

i want us to be back together

if only you would ask me what i want
My parents always warn me about drugs
And places
And weapons
And sketchy people
But never about the normal people
To ones that can hold you
And make you feel special
But later can tear you to shreds
And leave you abandoned
And alone

My parents always warn me to stay away from trouble
But never the ones who can truly hurt me
So I go to these people
Trust them with my secrets
My whole life

I think they care
And maybe they do
But only for a few minutes
Then they use it all against me
Ruin my whole life

And my parents say they warned me
But they never truly did...
above all the clouds
is a castle floating around
spectacular fireworks, enchanted lights
rhapsodic musicale during nights
flowers all over places
people with blissful faces
kindness swims in their blood
unionization always they had
talking ticking clocks
brave fighting ducks
a town of strawberries
bizarre carnivals with free entries
carefree lion, odd donkey
even a cookie can be a buddy
ladies with flying carpets
men's combat training with alive puppets
children running over their little magic tricks
stories told to them are not just mythics
freak witches, high wizards
with their wands that know the magic behind love
love that always outshine above

unicorns dancing their wings
as the princess begans to sing
astounding gown, crystal crown
hair was long soft straight flowing brown
gates have opened, soldiers are lining
as the prince started entering
knight in shining armor, princess' savior
all for the castle's favor

all hail almighty king and queen
I don't want to be mean
but these were all just a scene
in a little girl's dream
I'm often faced with the question
"why don't you just take medicine?"

Zoloft
Prozac
Lexapro
Paxil

do they take away the memories
or replace the words slipping through their mouths?
do they stop the fluttering of thoughts racing around my tired brain?
do those tiny capsules create apologies or never said goodbyes?
do they stop my thoughts at the late hours of the night?
do the scars on my wrists magically disapear?
do they erase the images of every bad thing that's ever happened?
do they suddenly make me good enough for everyone I wasn't?
I think I was mistaken about something along the road.
I think I saw stop signs as signals to go.

I think I need to go.

Is it sad to say that you depress me?
I don't know how to apologize for that.
Every time I think about loving you I want to be underwater.
I want to be somewhere where the lights are dim.

leah
in the morning
i watch the strangers leave their warm beds
and admire them as they go out into the world
i sit in the sun when i can
and usually don't tell people the truth
because i don't think they deserve it
or it's not worth wasting a breath
so i just watch instead

during the day
i walk around and try to make things right
or at least
make them seem right
and while i'm busy trying to make hands fit
i sit there and try to figure out what to say
but usually can only come up with adjectives
not full sentences

at night
when i get home
i sleep on the floor
and i pick at the brains of the monsters
under my bed for a while

and then i always go through
the whole day again in my mind
and try to figure out what exactly i was
thinking when i left you
part fictional and dramatic because i wanted to turn it into an angsty love poem after reading some Winchester tonight. i dig it though.
