The paranoia is enough to ****. To live in fear and jump at every thrill, even if its off a building to end this illness. Brick by brick the walls of this foundation falls. Once a home but now nothing but holes in the walls, just bones of a structure and I convince myself they're still good, the bones. When I close my eyes and open them, it's you, my reason. The push for such a life and I, the reason for the fallen hopes and broken dreams. I am the lost dream. I am the remedy and the ruins. I could build an empire and still manage to blow it to pieces and for what? No such reason than control of an inevitable, or so I keep thinking. Is it really control if it's inevitable? You cant control fate but when you try, you dig your own grave and... create a fate. This circle i've fallen in is not one I can get out of anymore. Ive been crying for a life line when it was I who cut all ties. I reach for the stars still, every night, the same routine. Pondering thoughts and what reason there could be for such distruction when all I ever wanted was to live. I never felt more alive than when I was with you Bella, even if the sickness in my stomach masked it and made you feel rejected. You are the love of my lifetimes. I will always leave the light on. My pieces still jagged yet I still sand them to this day in hopes that the next time you touch me, it wont hurt. I left for you and you never wanted me to make that choice for you. All this work i've had to do, all this tape, all this time. I wanted to be what you deserved and all you wanted was me.. all that came with me. All the darkness. All the pain. and I couldn't let you stoop that low. I think i've made something of these pieces, even if it's just to be a broke/n poet. I want to be more than a good story. I want to be more than a lesson, more than karma, more. I want to be more. I want to be yours, Yet you tell me each time, "nevermore."
