Owen
These four walls
will be the death of me.
Squeezing, constricting
til theres no more breath in me.
Overthinking, thoughts rebounding from the corners
like that screensaver.
Im so capable,
yet unable
to leave.
Frozen as the air outside.
Limbs pinned,
tied like Gulliver.
Guilt and sadness and regret
leak
from eyes
fixed open
unblinking in the dark.

ghost
why do I exist?
when to what I consist
is nothing but hatred and misery
fooled into constant trickery
if I vanished
or maybe quietly banished
would they know
with regret would they overflow
for they could've made me happier
yet they insist to leave me stuck
inside this society barrier
Forever Vows:

I promise,
that I will keep loving you

until---
I hate you once again.
When our eyes open for the first time
there is a reason we do not speak
no words to express
nor feelings explain
more of difference
but more of the same
yet the only truth
that is known by waking
this world that I see
I accept
I feel
will soon become the death of me.
She cries for help
Grasping, clutching
Drowning in anxiety,
Dragging others down.

She demands friendship.
She commands respect.
Scream,
Cry,
Plead,
Repeat.

Sedate me now.
Sinking into numbness.
Canker,
Ulcer,
Tumor,
Death.

Late night texts
Sleepy eyes
Small smiles
Butterflies

Stolen moments
Held inside
Beating heart
Stupefied

~

Left alone
Tear filled eyes
Chapped lips
Scarred thighs

Empty promises
Cast aside
Broken heart
Terrified

~j.l.
there's a reason why its called a crush
