i have been staring at this notepad,
trying to think of something to come and write itself out on this page,
but nothing seems to work.

not the late nights, not the jitters in my hands, not even the lack of sleep seems to be having their same loving effects.

i'm not sure how to get out of this little bout of writers block, not sure how to connect again with my words.

i miss the feeling of feeling, and i miss that feeling of relieve i got every time i wrote out everything i tried to say and never could.

less of what we used to be

i feel like everything is happening so very far away from me
that the ocean doesn't turn without seeing deep inside of me
that the waves of your emotions only revolve on the course that is of you and me

we feel like we can be so much more than the feelings that we see when we sleep
but wake up feeling less than what we used to be

ash

i'll just
sit here
and smoke
the memory
of you
into ash

reality

"do you ever stop and think about me?"

-----------------------------------------------------

my mind is constantly racing
thinking about all of the colours that
you're creating
i keep coming up with all these
different scenarios
like how you'd be coming up the
stairs having eyes just for me
or how you'd catch me watching you
watch me
i keep wondering about all the
possible meet ups that we could have had
the one off chances of a crazy maybe
love
but then my mom would bring me back to
reality
and i would suddenly be reminded of
the things that'll never be

something old

last pack of sanity

i think the world is starting to wake
up
it's 5:37,
the cars are riding pass me
more and more as the minutes
tick by
i'm halfway through my last pack
and i'm ******* broke
my mind is a mess and i really
haven't slept in days
my parents think everything is
alright
but they don't really know what
happens when it's ******* late at
night

Things that Never Happened

I write about a love story
that I've never experienced
I write about all these
beautiful, wonderful things
that have never happened before.

I feel like a poser, writing
about you.
Disgusted with myself for writing about
a love affair with a guy
that I made up in my head.

test tube candy

eating candy from a test tube
thinking of how my life would've been
if i hadn't met you.

nothing is the same - you said -

i told you that everything would change but you did not believe me.
i told you that i would begin to rely on you
that i would begin to constantly think of you
and only you.
when you met me, i gave you the disclaimer
"DISCRETION IS ADVISED"

why do you always do this - you asked -

my test tube of candy is about to be gone
the last two pieces are in my mouth
and i am still thinking of how my life
would've been if i had not met you.
how it would have been if i didn't spend my
days thinking of you.
