Painstaking Love
woolgather Jun 2016
I'd always end up the same,
Seeing you with a smile,
While breaking my heart in more than half.
I'd always be silent whenever you're around,
I'd always shift my eyes to other things,
Failing immensely.
I'd cry when nobody's around,
Because I'd know that it'd never be true,
The thought of me and you.
I'd want you to be the one to hold hands with me,
But I'd know you'll do that with somebody else,
Somebody much better than me.
Yes, you've left my heart to ruin,
Yet I'd still not go,
Yet I'd still not give up the impossible.
You can love who you want,
*Just let me love you.
To the person I love so much I can't let go even if they love another

Hello?
woolgather Dec 2019
I guess, it's selfish:
Not going back where it first began.

So I shoot blindly, in the dark,
Hoping that anyone would remember.

I have never been complete,
But i feel like a part of home is here.
It's Nes, trying to pick up the pieces. How is everyone doing these days? I hope you all are doing well.

Fazed;

Blacked out.

Woke up with scars,

Left from mindless spurs.

Yet blamed.

Though it is my fault.

I still don't know why I do this.

Now I'm just dragging other people down.

I try to make up for it;

The more I do the more I'll drag others deeper.

The more I become honest the more I destroy.

Erratic slashing,

Woken up by a stinging pain,

A nostalgic feeling.

Blacked out.

*Fazed.
I'm getting worse

And this time I'm dragging people around me

I was forced to sit and watch;
As they spit the flames they bring about;
I was forced to sit and watch
As those I knew turn anew;
Seemingly void of the past that held them back;
Seemingly void of me.
Maybe it's an omen;
That people are better without me;
As they spit the flames they bring about;
I burn.
In jealousy.
In regret.
**In sadness.
I guess a useless journal.

Not even close to half-assed poetry.

I'm here again,

It's me.

Again with many words,

Few messages.

A voice so loud,

Yet inaudible;

A resolve so strong,

Yet so spineless.

Again I'm overthrown by my weakness,

Again I turn to my drugs.

I wish that'd be the worse part of it all.

I lay at the couch half-sleeping, half-awake,

I lay my head down, I lay as my body ache,

I lay down and to there I see

A hand pulling mine;

Thrashed to the lobby.

Found me at the bathroom,

Still with breath cut short,

Left to me was rapport I hope so much to abort;

Body left helpless, body failed a last resort.

Now I write, barely sleeping, barely awake,

Life threw with everything at stake;

I can never unfeel the unspeakable things you've done,

I can never remove the handprints you have left upon me;

I can never undo the chaos you have left to run,

I will never forgive how you moved me.

Breath cut short,

Innocence left shorter.

Once. More.

One, two, three, four,
Who's that knocking at your door?
That stranger you think you've never seen before,
That guilt you painstakingly implore;

Five, six, seven, eight;
Makes you love what those you hate;
Senses coming undone as of late;
Innocent as ignorant as ignorant as bait.

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve;
*****, rotten past you try and delve;
Hope of seeing light; lies that you helve;
Nothing but out-of-place dementia to shelve.

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen sixteen;
Treacherous words that appear on a computer screen,
Making you think your soul's so clean,
Don't waste your time: you'll just decay and demean.

Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
These wicked foolery has been a plenty;
Mind distorted, assorted, nothing but anomaly;*
The Devil's desert: Sweet Misery.

what transpires here
are things that have just arrived;
none of them kept baggage,
or maybe some.

might i be given
the benefit of the doubt?
why must i still hear
the very same demons?

saying too much
or too little;
or both,
different on each ear;

why must the dark
feel like soothe,
when those who i call home
fear it?

maybe time will yield,
and to good things, tell;
what there is to triumph,
what stars are there to align.
Hi, it's Nes.

It's been a while since I've actually written anything.

the irony
of stringing words together,
not meek nor brutal—
is that it feels as if
you relieve yourself
of a burden,
and yet also
ripping your flesh,
wounds both old and recent;
clawed open to be felt.

a willing martyrdom,
or
a frivolous act.
a lot of good things have been happening to me, yet i feel so winded with all the things i'm currently facing.

hope you're doing well, stranger.

Just leave me where I am

Because I knew the moment I joined your little party
I was about to get lost.
Don't try and cry for me
I know what you really want from me
Just leave me where I am
Don't pity me

We talk a bit,
And then we stopped.
We glanced a bit,
And now it's done.
So much lost in so little time;
So much yearning
For someone I can't call mine.
Retracting back to fallacies;
Fallacies of one in blind love;
Love seen through a one-sided mirror,
Unbeknownst of what the other side may be.

We sat beside,
And now we're apart.
It felt so close,
And now it is so afar.
Too much for making a reel
Of something that'll never be real;
Or the fact that I still hold on to;
That there still may be a chance;
A chance to be the one to hold your hand;
Unbeknownst if you would hold another.

It felt like nothing;
And now it is pain;
At first it felt like sunrise;
Now I feel as cold as rain.
Too much for expecting
For something to happen
And now it's all gone to ****.
**I wonder if I was wrong to take that step.

Red ribbons.
Such as my thread of fate is malleable,
They toy with it.
Twist and bend and cut,
To their desire;
Without consideration of me;
Or what I would feel.
To them, I am obsolete.
To truth, I am obsolete.
I cannot be saved.
I have accepted that fact.
All that's left of me is to suffer.
Good riddance.

What they are is unbeknownst to me.
What I am is unbeknownst to them.
They do not see the sadness beyond the smiles.
They do not see the broken soul inside;
And I ponder, it is for the best.

"What makes you think I'm so special?"

If I could sail the stars,
I'll take you with me;
If I could get the world's fortune,
I'd give it to you, too.

Is it that unacceptable for a beast to love,
A creature more majestic than it is?
A creature more accepted than it is?
A creature better than it is?

Is it that ironic that I still want you,
Even though it hurts so much;
So much to just think of you,
And everything good that'll never happen?

Is it that hurtful to love,
Love so much that you can't put anyone above them;
Love so much that you sleep to the thought of them,
Love so much that you can't?

Is it really that easy to let go,
When you hold on so many memories,
When you're inches away yet feel a thousand miles apart,
When you never found out how much you are to them?

I never got to say goodbye,

I never said we didn't fly.

I'm sorry if you'd feel offended,
It's my fault that you're tormented,
Our bond became distorted,
Our spark abruptly ended.

You never said that four-letter word,
Neither did I, but from another, you've heard,
My heart of paper suddenly burned;
I know I've left you quite disturbed.

I wrote these words without the tears;
I've ran out of them, thinking of the fears;
The fears that left me stumbling here,
That what little love will suddenly sear.

My heart feels cold;
I've got no one to hold;
Our emptiness will mold;
In my heart, numbness, behold.

This words will stream endlessly,
So I'd cut my pen abruptly;

It's fine cause you're left happy.

Let the love I give be crumbled;

Let yourself again be trampled;

Too soft to ever not fall in love;

Clip the wings off the pristine dove;
Hiding my thoughts in letters and words
Hiding my thoughts in lines and verses,
Hiding my love though more than words
Hiding my love through curses.

As I watch from a distance as you trample your path with rage and sadness;
As I watch another quench the scorching heat,

Nothing but a small stain.
Nevertheless, I never considered it wrong to care.

I may never fix myself but I'll try to help you.

If I ever was brave enough to tell you.

As I watch from the distance,

As I long to intertwine mine with yours,
To pull you out of the ravine,
But I'm too much of a coward; I'm sorry.

I'm too scared to trample the little things you've given care.
I'm too scared to charge into your world, not knowing of what I can do.
I'm too scared to step inside your door, in your most vulnerable times.
And I ache too much to save you.
But I can't.

To anyone who hears my calls,
To anyone who feels the worry and pity I feel,
To anyone who can reach the heart I am crying about,

Begotten memories,
Adjacent to thine heart.
Begotten memories,
Ironically, have never been part.
Begotten memories,
A plethora of feelings.
Begotten memories,
Some here, some made, some gone.
Begotten conundrums come past us,
Conundrums we have not expected.
Stand your ground and don't lose it,
Stand your ground and face it.
It would be a stretch to let you understand,
It would be a stretch to call your attention.
If you'd have night - a killer star,
Then be your very own morning light.
The darkness will get washed away,
Even if the waves bring something with them.
Be the one to light up others.
When the tide of sadness comes,
Even when it proves hard to be,
Be the boat that never sinks.
If you'd give up, it's fine.
But even just for this time,
Hold on;
Hold on,
Hold on.

know that as tomorrow comes you'll see the morning light.]

As I see your figure in the sky;
Not that I've seen you close enough.
I don't know

Strip yourself of the grandeur you demonstrate,
*I know how rotten you are already.
Money won't buy my sympathy, honey

I'll rest my heart and lay it down
Cause nothing seems to be working
The faces I see all turn to a blur
And that's also how they see me

It should be easy letting go
Even though I'm the only one hurting;
After all I'm the only one who knows
Don't let them see how you're falling apart

Don't bother chasing what was then
If it can't remember you
Don't love when you're the only one that knew
They say that just find the truth inside you
But I can't even find me
I don't even want me

So just leave me and I'll lay down
Cause it will never get working
All the people holding my past and my present
Seemed to throw it all away

Even if it's dark, try to hold the light inside you
Even when it hurts, try and let your heart grow
Even when it seems to be endless
Don't get drowned and drunk with bitter tears

Don't bother chasing what was then
Now is what will remember you
Love even when you're the only one that knew
Let them feel you
They say that just find the truth inside you
But If you can't even find you
I'll try to help you
I'll make you want you

They say that just find the truth inside you
If you can't, then I'll be the one to guide you
They say just find the truth inside you
Don't let the pitch black darkness blind you
Im dead
