today i felt the rush
of a sharp
aching
tender
deep
hopeless
night
from which there bloomed
a pain so insane
i spent a day putting
it all away, shoving
crying, sobbing, sniffing
oh, and it felt like killing
an old dear friend,
putting a bullet in
my brain ,
in my chest
and i could not breathe
it hurts now
but in a way
i feel free
in such a torn way;
paper crushed and
shredded
nothing left
in the search of
sanity.
See let me tell you, it's incredibly hard being an artist that cares so much. An artist that wants so much. Loving art is possibly the best and worst thing. It's a lonely dance, it's a dream, it's a miracle, it's a story in my mind. And sometimes it feels like an old friend, a pair of shoes i want to put away, a size too big i cannot fit, a place i cannot fill. "I dream of painting and then I paint my dream."

I hate to say it
but you're all I need

I hate to visit
but you've become my creed

I hate to face it
but no one takes heed

I know that I should
stop

If only it could
stop

If only you weren't the only one there
like salt water in the desert
like smoke in the air
like the hurt i can't avert

you make me feel raw and bare
the only feeling alert
that my breathing is fair

I cry

Until my eyes become dry

I lay

Until the dreams wear away

*and repeat
Some people are so sad, they start melting, and they dry up. Funny thing is that they still manage to cry.

The sadness won't go away*

it comes in the morning, grabs me by the throat, threatens my life, and then leaves. I ask why.

"Why can't you leave me? Why can't you let me leave?"

I put on my mask.

The craziest one. I'm in no mood to put up with life and its disappointments.

I need my high.

I put on my high pitched voice and leave with a heavy heart, dripping with blood.

I can't say the sadness leaves but laughing extra loudly and making others laugh often helps.

After the exhaustion of the day; of living, it lays on my shoulders and brings me down. The mask wears away and the "happy high" leaves.
No end, sadness is endless until someone or something comes along to help, Sir Isaac Newton didn't teach you this, I did.

its hard having the stain
always having to bear the pain
and never being able to complain
acting as if everything is plain
and simple but it is impossible

its vain
you're just a stain

Love is a proportion
Of the feeling someone has
People don't understand;
You may not understand;
All people understand is what they "know"
All you know is what you feel

They sum it up, depending on what they "know"
And call it love, or they call it crazy.
But I have come to realize
That, that is love;
It is crazy
You have feelings you cannot explain
No matter what
It is like describing a color of something to a blind person
Feelings are messy and messed up

Ever since you came, I have found out this:

There is more than love

The heaviness of my heart is unbearable
The way you look at her
Adds weight to my shoulders
The way you smile to her
You would say I was jealous
But my heart will tell you different

The heart aches
The tears flow

The way you look at her is so beautiful
Your stare bleeds through your face
Tears my heart apart
The edges of your stare claws at my heart
It cuts deeply and blood draws

Your stare is magnificent
But the magnificence isn't for me to see
You are not looking at me
Yet I feel your stare
And I see your eyes
Oh, the things I bear

I see your smiles
The corner of your lips
Carve a frown on my face
And the frown carves a hole in my heart.
