I love her
Like my
Best friend,
But I do
Stuff with her
I don't do
With him.
The BMF and
The BFF.
A trinity
In one.
I've edited this just now. I apologize to those who have already clicked. We and our work are a work in progress.

18
It took me 18 years to learn a thing or two
About life and all the utter crap it tends to put you through.

I learnt not to pine for love and wealth.
I learnt never to trust anyone but myself.
I learnt never to cling on to what you may think is yours.
I learnt never to let your feelings show beyond your room walls.
I learnt never to hurt another at the expense of my own,
because that would only leave me a *****,
and all alone.
I learnt that at the end of the day, even if i have nothing to call my own,
as long as i have heart,
ill always have a home.

But one thing 18 years
could never have taught me to see,
is that the greatest flaw in my life
was trusting the feelings
of ME.
Life will defy all i think ive learnt and know,
and the biggest thing thats so ******* hard to learn,
is to just
let
go.

I joke
at a
constant.

Whether it be about
myself or nothing at all,
I still joke.

Sometimes it hurts
laughing at my self hatred
since everyone thinks I'm kidding,
hell I even think it sometimes.

But it hurts knowing that
people you care about
don't notice your
smile crumbling and
your life tumbling
until you scream it out to them
"I'm not okay."

when I painted the house
I was so tired that a piece of me may have slipped into the can
now I'm smeared all over your room
painted in drips like the teardrops our faces know so well
and you have fallen out of love with me
but I live inside your walls
hearing you kiss her so hard
the plaster might just crack
and the pictures we hung up might just shudder off their nails and shatter

"How can I help you get back where you were?"
Come on now, you should know better.
The lacquered polish of lies said one time too many
I can't get back to where I was, not now.
I live and breathe you.
Tell me I deserve the world.
Crave me.
A barely human safety net, trying their hardest to break your fall
(I'll burn her apartment to the ground)
I can't stop writing ****** poetry about you sorry
Sacrifice isn't always an act of nobility
It can be a way of living
For some people
Who have been conditioned
And persuaded
To believe that the love from others
Comes with the loss of yourself.
