depression doesn't hurt me,
the way you think it would.
it kisses me gently like a lover,
& holds me close, protectively.
depression doesn't hurt me,
the way you expect it to.
because it ceases to feel like pain.
it just suddenly feels like home.

your body interests me,
but your mind excites me.
every time we speak it's as if...
i've known you for years...
& then you disappear.
& i wonder if it's all in my head,
maybe you are my lucid dream.

the depth of my soul can only be expressed
           among the midst of burning
                                      hearts &
                                               raining
                                             eyes.
the maze of my thoughts can only be
                                                                spoken
         through              br  o  k e n,
                                         ink-
                                              -d-i-p-p-e-d   hearts.
only when my mind is
                                                 bent &
                                          curled &
                                   swirled &
                                         l o s t
can my words begin to mean something.

only when my head is                  light &             hazy

& my perception compares to that of some
drug-
        -fueled
                 frenzy,
can my words be
                                                  beautiful.

but i am happy,
                                 for the most part.

& so my words fall
                                                  off
                                                                                      the                    pag-

                                                                                                            -es.


& they mean nothing.
just some
simple
empty
ramblings.

of a newly
normal
girl.

It's my own fault
For allowing myself to feel

when the days are long
& my mind gets so hazy,
when the fog rolls in
& my serotonin gets lazy.

when my vision's blurry
& my heart is breaking,
when my body is numb
& my soul is aching.

that's the only time i miss you

& i would do it all again
if for nothing but
to taste you once more
& to remember how it felt like
to be in love with me

you were the addiction
& i just needed a hit
i know you’re bad for me
but i just wanted one last high
i wanted to overdose on you
so i didn’t have to live without you
but i can’t afford you, i have nothing left to give
i sold my dignity for my last tastes of you

but then, i met an angel
he kissed me gently & loves me deeply
i met an angel
he knows i was addicted to you but loves me anyway
he wraps his wings around me & allows me to just be
& i’m in rehab now
forgetting about you & moving on
i never thought i’d be here
& some days, just like any other addict
i remember the high & i crave you
dreaming about one last fix to get me through the night
but you couldn’t save me, you only
numbed me
you were my addiction
& addictions are difficult to break
but that doesn’t mean, that i am* *broken
[maybe because a part of me still wants revenge]
