you were the reason I didn't **** myself

this doesn't mean you have to love me

what it means is, I will always love you

Old Friends

The other day
I happened to see a friend
who had passed away.
It was not until I saw him
had I realized,
I no longer cared for him.
I had been busy living
and after all these years
he was still the same.
How does one explain
to a dead friend
that people change?

I Hate Everything I Write

I hate everything I write
I hate every word
every rhyme
I hate all of it
and secretly I want you
to hate me too

Her Dysphoria

Her Dysphoria

I wrestled with the black sea
that brood inside of her,
but nothing I possessed
could stop that dark tide
from taking her.

The poem is actually a line from a short story I wrote about a man trying to deal with his wife's depression

I know when you stare at me,
It's her eyes you see.
But I'm not her.
And I'm not what you're searching for.
I've fallen in too deep.
So deep that I'm willing to give up everything.
But I'm afraid.
Afraid of how easily you'd throw it all away for her.
To have her in your arms.
To feel again.
To love.
For her,
You'll give us up.

I still **** at poetry.

I know darling, I gave you an ocean of words
when all you needed were a few drops of rain.

The problem with suicide

"The problem with suicide is that when it becomes an option in your mind, it's always an option."

Tolerance

Stabilizing sentiments
try to control me,
but little do they know;
this too shall pass

Phase

This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...
This pain will last forever...*

But then again, so were we.

just like we ended, so will this pain.
