In my most loneliest of moments
I wasn't alone
Your ego and mine
killed our love.
Long time.
That's the thing about poets
Where others see a storm
We are reminded that our hearts are not alone in their torment
Where others hear rain
We hear the whispers of a thousand forgotten dreams
Where others feel cold
We feel ice piercing into our souls making us bleed out all of our secrets

That's the thing about poets
Only the beautifully tragic can understand them
I feel like I've forgotten how to breathe. Like the wave is coming down on me and I've forgotten how to swim.
So I didn't write this, it was something my friend wrote. I don't want to take any credit from them, but it struck a chord with me and I wanted more people to read it. He gave me permission to 'do something with it', so here I am, doing something with it.*

I don't want to go to school
I just want to sit
With a book, a game or a movie
And watch the world go by
Watch the people they consider normal
Try and guess their lives
Sit in the church yard
In the rain
And guess how people died
I just want to sit
Quietly
And watch the world go by
the company you keep
can make you strong or make you weak
make you laugh or make you weep
the company you keep
You tell me that you love me,
but that’s not what this is.
It’s obsession.
It’s possession.
Time and time again.
You are toxic to my thoughts,
poison to my heart.
Oh how you love to build me up; to watch me fall apart.
With every passing day,
with each passing time
it breaks my heart to wonder
if you were ever really mine.
You told me I was beautiful with each intoxicated breath,
but never once did a sober thought reach me through your head.
I was your escape, but drugs were your demise.
Taking something beautiful
and dressing it in lies.
It’s killing me slowly that you’re still on my mind.
With ocean eyes and venomous lies how’d I make it out alive?
I only hear you
When you dont say anything
I only see you
When you're not here
I only feel you
When you're not around
And now i cry
Cause i know you're hellbound
