I'm tired of giving away
Pieces of myself like
Free samples.

I helped a friend
stumble to the bathroom
so he could puke,
held his head
so he threw up in the
toilet
and not everywhere else,
made sure he got
toothpaste on his teeth and gums
then led him to a couch
so he could lay with
a cute girl and cuddle
while I made bed
out of a chair
the next room over
evaporating like
the last puddle
of this storm
cold and wishing
I was him
snuggled up
and warm
.

Insincerity, Maleficence and Cowardice
typify who you are known to be;
though I am not surprised,
I am thoroughly disgusted;
not that you give a ****,
nor that you ever did.

Although, realistically,
I'd bet you give plenty of *****:
it wouldn't be a new trick for you.
T'is a pity you never grasped
the notion of
"quality over quantity."

That's cool.
You should do what you will,
but I'd advise getting checked out,
and I don't mean by the ****** people,
although that seems a good fit for you;
people tend to be unclean
and like attracts like.

Despite your self-righteous fervor,
and the eloquent ways with which you contort language,
the fundamentally simple and inescapable fact remains:
you're a grand, narcissistic hypocrite.

You could lie and claim to be an honest person,
though I know you can be honest
about your erogenous duplicity.
Tell someone one thing to their face
and then act in direct contradiction.

No wonder you felt so alone;
you push everyone else away.
I'd reply to your messages,
but it seems communication is precluded.

Strange, you seem awfully defensive.

Even after all these months,
you're still such an inspiration.
I hope you found another source
of your beloved intoxication.

It's rather remarkable, really,
how well you misuse potential.
I'm beside myself with awe:
you never fail to impress.
A ******* and worthless poem
with a half-worthless title,
all for a worthless person.

Made me feel better to write it out, though,
so I'd call that a victory.

I watched you as you dreamed away.
...thoughts inside that hidden mind...
behind a lock and key never cease to fascinate me...

I stand outside and look within,
watching and waiting as you
smile and frown,  
knowing that you are a prize most can never seem to win.
I seem to have caught you, for at least a moment and I am grateful for eyes bright and dark that gaze into mine with a strong softness.
The images playing throughout my brain like kisses planted in pouring rain, and chocolate milk bubbles as I smile at you...
will remain on my heart like a fresh tattoo.

You whisper about monsters beneath your bed and I whisper lovely things to you instead.
Demons fly and demons lie.
Angels sigh and angels die.
But if I dance with you under the moonlight,  can we push away the thoughts that make us cry...?
I have seen the scars that hell has made and the beatings never seem to fade but all I want to beat are the devils away so you can gaze into the sun...
Yes I stumble, yes I fall.
Yes, I am a ghost that walks the hall.
But in this house that that is broken down,
an incredible sight is what I found.
Wildflowers were growing on the walls and voices were music like waterfalls.
You ******* out of hiding and not every view is worth the calls...
But I try to breathe, I try to see... the better parts that exist in me,
so I can help bring out the best in you.

So when it is light and when it is dark, when we are together or we are apart...
I'll be the shadows in the back of the room attempting to chase away the gloom...
Whenever wildflowers start to to wither away
A ghostly hand will be there to stop the decay...

...because you are worth the fight
and somewhere in you exists a light that makes the sun jealous of all you bring and causes the universe to dance and sing at the soul existing for just the blink of an eye but one who can light up an entire sky....

I shattered today.

Shards of love
And splashes of blood
Scattered to the tips of
My fingers
And
Toes.

We were in Starbucks
And I drank coffee
And you didn't
And seven months of
Surprise kisses
And
24/7 text messages
Ended abruptly
Like a cliff.

The funny thing is,
I broke up with you.
It was still me
Who spent the last hour
Listening to our song
And bleeding emotion
Riding on tears
Into the sock monkey
That I named after you
Because I loved the middle name
Ryan.

You were over it,
And I was not.
You showed up
With the bite of coffee
Crawling up your nose
Expecting to
Break
Up
With
Me.

I'm not exactly happy that we think alike anymore.
Seven months and two days. We had a good run. I still love you, Wade Ryan. I still do.

why is it that
I want to cut my throat
and watch the words unspoken
flow out of me
onto my white bed sheets?
just something that came to me today. I feel very low for some reason and I keep imagining myself grinning at the sight of a blade and how beautiful it would look on my neck.
blades DO NOT belong there though, you have taught me that only your lips do.

coolness of august
spring fever never came
warm bodies turn to cold
as winter hits our skin

coldness of him
you make me sick just like a fever that cant be cured
warm bodies, rush in
you come to take my innocence
as you hit me
I become a victim
who is now trapped

A bird with clipped wings
You take everything I love
leave me with nothing

My family blames me
when it was your fault

I am the bad guy
Im the monster no one likes
  
Truth is Im the victim
to a horrible scene
that no cop seen
I scream inside
hide outside
I need help
but you silence me
I am broken

Sssshhh...
it never happened
this is something im going through (*please comment*) if you had the same thing happen to you or like it -thank you :)

Dear mother when I was younger I wanted you to be there
Dear mother Im sorry for the stuff you went through
Dear mother I understand now more then ever
Dear mother thank you for trying
Dear mother that you never had the chance at a better life
Dear mother Im sorry I didnt understand or that no one understood...
Dear mother I wish I could feel your pain
Dear mother I wish you could hear me say these things
Dear mother thank you for watching over me
Dear mother I hope god is taking care of you
Dear mother I wish you were here ....
