I don't love you.* you said.
And my heart dropped down to hell.
The word played over again in my head,
and my tears began to spill.
Why are you yelling?
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
YOU PROMISED YOU'D LOVE ME TOO.
I'm not yelling, you said; Just telling you the truth.
So is this what you meant,
when you promised with your arms?
When you laid down on  my chest and swore you'd never go too far?
Do you find joy in seeing the eyes you once claimed to have loved,
spill tears of broken glass and the secrets you promised of?
YOU'RE STILL YELLING.
EVERYTHING IS SO ******* LOUD.
Why would you ever say those things when you were just planning to let me down?
Have you noticed this is all questions,
cause you've made me question myself.
Every time I speak or move,
my head is filled with doubts.
Will I lose her, will she come home?
Will she be safe with me again?
I doubt it, it's quiet now.
They must have killed each other,
the voices in my head.
I've not,
written anything of any worth,
in a while,
I've forgotten,
anything of any decency
that could work,
I've missed,
the freedom of writing
and the feelings along with it,

*I'm trapped inside my ******* mind,
Not a clue what to leave behind.
I'm so frustrated by it arrrrghhhh

When I was younger
Much younger
I used to dream of riches
And a chauffeur driven car.

But then I grew up
Fell in love
Raised a family

And they became my gold

Worth more to me
Than anything else.

But occasionally
I'd still think about that car
Just for a moment...

Well,
Look at me now!
Who'd have thought it?

I'm on my way to see them
In a chauffeur driven car

Surrounded by
Their beautiful flowers.

one day i will wake
up right beside you
as we lie under the thin sheets
that smell like cotton and lavender,
illuminated by the bright
morning sun,
under the sky that shines
with billions of intricate diamonds.

i will be awoken by your kisses
that sting across my collarbones,
by your sweet crooked smile
that glows brightly in the day,
by your gentle arms
as they engulf me in love
and passion.

my life will be
right before my eyes;
you, you are the one
that's stolen my heart forever and always.

It can hurt
Or it can work out
You're either full of affection
Or full of doubt
You can be content
Or it can make you stress
You can be the perfect couple
Or you can be a mess
It can make you say "I love you"
On the best of days
Or it can make you scream "*******"
As you both part ways
It can make you the optimist
As you watch it unfurl
Or it can make you a pessimist
In this heartbreak world

You.
You weren't the first thing
on my mind
when I woke up this morning.
My eyes fluttered open,
and for the first time,
in a long time,
my thoughts didn't
automatically float to you,
as if on cue.
I fear you're fading from my memory,
one soft kiss at a time.
I feel it mounting,
slowly, steadily building,
every little thing adds to the heat,
I feel,
that slowly rises,
to my head,
creating an ever growing red mist,
that clouds my vision.
That mist is hard to clear away,
once it comes,
and luckily I rarely see it,
but when it's there,
my rage becomes,
uncontrolled.
My fuse is long,
but once it's lit,
it can not be stopped,
i'm like a ticking time bomb,
ready to explode,
at any given moment,
and when I do explode,
I cause an impressive amount,
of damage.
But now I know I will explode soon,
I can feel the adrenaline,
rush through my veins,
and my blood,
roaring in my ears,
my body is shaking with
the anticipation,
of finally letting go,
of my anger,
and releasing all of my stress,
and feelings,
so I can start fresh again,
but until that happens,
my anger will be,
uncontrolled,
and never stopped,
until I can calm myself down.
I am not exactly the nicest person when I get angry, and I find it really hard to hold back the physical response of violence I want to give, and instead I just use my words, which my end up hurting more than any physical blows I may have given...
