Numbness

Numbness

I just don't want you here anymore
and it is my fault you are back.
You left like I was nothing.
And it is my fault you are back.
I can't. I can't. I can't anymore.
You think it's funny when I say I can't.
But what I mean is, I can't.
I can take you, physically.
Physically, I am numb to you now.
My heart still aches.
My brain still aches. You make me ache in every way.
Please don't go.
Please don't go away.
Please don't go away again.
I want you gone.
I want you erased.
I want you.
I want you gone.

My love

My love

Your eyes are like the ocean,
Vast, and pretty blue,
My eyes have one intention,
They’re only set on you,
I love you more than anything,
I know you feel the same,
The most beautiful girl in the world,
And she’s driving me insane,
I can’t even focus,
Can’t conjure up a phrase,
I could go on and on,
And talk of you for days,
Absolute perfection,
And every bit of my,
Love is summed up in four letters,
J-o-d-i

The Shattered Truth

The Shattered Truth

Go ahead and pretend like you know,
Just keep adding to the story-
as a thought appears among your mind,
Lies unravel,
and your beliefs of who I am have changed again.
You think you've known-
You think you've seen all this coming,
But I isolated myself from you and your inconsistent beliefs long ago.
I'm writing my own story now,
Like I should have all this time.
Adding to the plot line.
and deleting those characters that never even mattered.
You think you know exactly who I am;
Then why didn't you see this coming?
Our stories aren't the same anymore,
and neither are we.

Live

Live your Dream,
Whatever it may be.
Do what it takes to be happy,
Open your eyes and see.
Fear nothing,
It will be all right.
Hold onto your hopes,
With all your might.
Tomorrow will come,
Like it or not.
Be your true self,
Your not a robot.
Flesh and blood,
Ashes and dust.
You're here, You're alive,
No ifs, ands, or buts.

Salt

Salt

I went dancing last night
with the ocean
and he made my demons
into salt.
how noble that he
would take so gratefully
all the pieces of myself
I don't want.

ungranted wishes

when I was three years old
    I wished on a shooting star that
daddy and mommy would stop yelling
that they would stop hurting and love

    when I was eight years old
I wished on a broken wishbone that
mommy and daddy would fall in love
that they wouldn't dwell on the past

     when I was nine years old
I wished on a swaying dandelion that
mommy would marry this new daddy
and they would never hurt each other

  when I was ten years old
I wished on pretty birthday candles
that new daddy would stop drinking
and that mommy would stop loving this man only for his sober side of life

   when I was eleven years old
    I wished on loose eyelashes that
daddy would give us back to mommy
and wouldn't force us to live with him

   when I was twelve years old
  I wished on a vintage wishing well
that daddy and his wife would stop
picking at my flaws like futile weeds

    when I was thirteen years old
    I wished on a weightless feather
   that my brother wouldn't leave me
  alone with daddy and fake mommy

    when I was fourteen years old
I wished on the clock that read 11:11
that I wouldn't have to be here alone
that the judge would favor my mom
and send me back to her love forever

     now I'm fifteen years old
     I have nothing left to wish on
but I wish I could stop feeling this way
and stop forming scars on my body
when the days and nights are rough
and I wish that I could stop thinking
about life without my existence in it
and learn to love myself and make it
  through the night as best as I can

and that maybe one day
I'll make it out alive.

Cure for Reality

broken ties

here,
beneath your arms,
is where i don’t belong
igniting magnetic touches,
and weaving different songs
kisses on velvet skin,
always there to keep me alive,
along the road i knew,
i realised your crumpled lies
rest in peace,
i say,
sipping in our sudden despair,
i can no longer be here,
you can not either,
we can never be repaired.
