You're tired of me
I don't blame you
With all of my bad days
It's hard to see any good left in me

In my dream
I broke a vase
I tried to apologize but no one could here me
Then i saw you
I tried to explain
It was mistake
You looked me in the eyes
"One mistake too many"
That's when I realized
The its not that the others couldn't see me
Its that they couldnt stand me
And they left me

In my dream
I was 2 hours late to work
When i showed up they all looked at me
I told them there was an emergency
I tried to call but it never went through
They told me i was fired
I when i called you
I was in tears
You said it was my fault
You said that this needed to stop
"the crying?" i sniffed
And you said "us"

In my dreams
I am left alone
In my dreams
i am a burden
In my dreams
I am afraid
Even though
When i am awake
You swear i have nothing to fear

Streams of salt water flow
Heavy breathing
heavy heart
Shame me for that I don't know
Steady beating
Steady start
when the red rivers run slow
When I am pleading
And the night is dark

Plan A:
Take unnecessary risk
Don't cover your tracks
Or do any research

Act impulsively
Not precisely
Worry none
And move on

Plan B:
Stay home
Drown yourself
In a combination of
Anxiety, insomnia, tears, and Jack

2:00am
I cannot fall alseep
My lips are dry
I've came once
unsatisfying

3:27am
I've had half a glass of vernors
The rest is sitting next to my bed warm and flat
I can't get comfortable
I have too much room in this bed
It makse me feel vulnerable

4:18am
I went to the bathroom
When I got there i didn't have  to go anymore
I went back to my room
Only to have to go back again.

4:30am
I can hear my mom coughing
She hasn't been feeling  well lately

4:37 am
I can't stop thinking about how she cried today
Or is it yesterday
I guess the next day doesn't start until you sleep

4:39am
I made her cry
Im trying  to remember what you said
About it not being my fault
I struggled with it

5:30am
Another unsatisfying ******
Viewed some ****
It wasn't what I needed
I closed my eyes for awhile
That was unsatisfying too

6:47am
I try thinking about why you stay
Or why you'd think I'd leave
Why you claim to love my body
claim to love all of me

7:15am
I Sent you a silly text.
You haven't replied yet
I feel stupid

7:38am
I logged into Facebook
Updated information
Looked though all your pictures
You don't look how I remember you in these
I don't like it
We don't interact enough here
Your ex is all over your page though
I should log out

8:03am
I hope you mean it when you say I'm better than the rest
A better cook
A better friend
A better support system
Better for you

I'm a wreck
I'm a mess

I am oil spilled on the clearest waters
dark and unwanted
poisonous to those around me

I am sloppy in my emotions and rational in my actions because that is what is expected

I am well versed in suffering in silence
because my screams are to violent for you to bear
so I squirm instead

and though I feel like I should not have to choose between my overall health and being the person I'm  supposed to be

I make that choice every morning

Because I would rather die than be anymore of a burden than I already am.

We were once a blazing fire

quick and fierce with a burning  hunger
for all that we could consume

then we were nothing
but the glowing ashes of a cigarette
fading to black on the tar of  an unfamiliar parking lot
