Ever looked up the sky?
Where either no stars or billions are?

When you see them,
Ever saw the brightest one?

Shining so bright,
That you catch yourself staring?

Watching for hours on end,
Up above a dark night sky.

Just looking...
Looking at that single star.
"I'm not referring to stars. I am referring to you."

Red heart,
Full of blood and life.
Beating and thumping.
Loud and clear.

Blues came.
Silence ringing - Screams unheard.
Pain flows - Tears fall.
Lashes bleed - Scars form.

Purple heart.
Fought so hard.
Til its last beat.
Til my last breath.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
That's the common phrase
We all know is true

But  what if,
Roses were blue?
Not red like love
Not flaming fire-y hue

If roses were blue,
Would that mean
It's petals are frozen
And I can't have you?

Then violets are red
Like blood dripping
Heart aching
Then I am dead

Roses are blue.
Violets are red.
The day you left me
Caused me my death.

Should I try to fear my own reality
Where she's finally happy.
Though this at the very pretty scene.
She ends up not with me.

Should I try to fear my own reality?
Where I end up alone.
I see her smile bigger than ours.
Will this finally set her free?

How much more!
I've been suffering for so long.
I have felt all kinds of pain.
HOW MUCH MORE!

Tell me, oh please, tell me.
All I kept telling myself,
Keep going - I'll make it.
Will I really make it?

How long has it been?
I have lost count.
I couldn't keep track.
I do not know anymore.

How much more?
Am I there yet?
Tell me there's an end.
Or is it that I am already dead?

Roses,
Proses,
Causes,
Losses.

My
                     Mind
                                                               Is
Everywhere

                                          I
                                                                                    Am
So
                       Stressed
                                                                    Out
A
                                             Week
            Of
                                                                                                      Rest
                          Is                                                  Not
                                       Enough
How
                   To
           Stop                                Overthinking
                                                                                     My                      Head
                                Hurts             So
Bad
                  I                                                Am
                        
                          Not
              
         Okay
                                                                   I                                         Need
        To                    Stop
                
                     For              

                                                                    A          
Moment                       And      
                                                                                          Take
                         A                                                Deep                                                
                            

                                                               Breathe
This
                    

                                Is                                                     Some

Random                                  
                                                      Blurted
          
                       Thoughts
        
                                                                                         That
Can                                             Be
                                
                 Read
                                                                               In
                                           So
                                                                                                            Many

Ways
