i wrote this poem on

my broken piano

that's why at times

it's offbeat and slow

which is the perfect take

on the meaning it conveys

of all the brokenness  

that this life permeates

"Why do you have a dead rose on your window?"
It's funny, because out of the many things I have that are either yours or what you have given to me, I kept the rose and a painting you made me. Those are the only two things in my room that I will allow to remind me of a love that once was there, but is now dead, just like that rose. I couldn't say this out loud, but what I wanted to say was that I have this dead rose on my window to remind me that even the most beautiful of things wither and die, and that love is *no
exception. It's okay to remind yourself of such beautiful things, but living in a fantasy world does not help to heal, it only makes you delusional. I now know why it's always been so hard for me to live in the reality I belong to, and I think it's time to face it.
maybe one day I'll be able to let the rose go.
(no, I didn't get rid of the other things. I just put them away.)

and it's easy to not eat, because the control you feel is much more satisfying than food will ever taste.
Its raining, it's pouring, the number keeps going down, down, down...
My hearts wants you
   Mind says forget you
    I can't decide
    WHat's better for me
    To destroy myself
    No
I loved you the way
Samson loved Delilah
Foolishly.
I loved you the way
Aphrodite loved Adonis
Sensually.
I loved you fatally
Lustrously
Beautifully
Brokenly.
I loved you the way
A rose loves it's thorn
Too tender to the touch.
I loved you the way
I loved no one else
And that was far too much.

and I looked at you like you were a doormat that said "Welcome Home", but you only treated me like I was a bright neon sign that said **"One Night Only"
and like a doormat, you left me feeling ***** and not knowing what home truly meant anymore.
Not about anyone, just messing around and trying some prompts.
