you want to witness the truth?
then
you shouldn't see it
with your eyes*

©IGMS
it is within us
vague yet vivid
soundless yet deafening
boundless yet finite
this could be nothing
if you see it
as a perception of your mind
this could be everything
if you believe in it
beyond your limitation*

the magic lays within us
and if you truly believe in it
everything you do will be perfectly crafted
dreams are meant for sleeping
and you are my dream, darling
so i want to sleep tight
to reach you out tonight*

maybe i could only be able to reach you
through this endless daydreaming
I woke up this morning with a lot of pressure on my chest
It was hard to get out of bed because I barely got any rest
I poured myself a cup of coffee and took a look in my bedroom mirror
I looked messy and horrible but I told my reflection "you look beautiful dear"
I went outside for a cigarette and let the cold air hit my skin
I tried my best to hold back tears from the pain I held within
I sang to myself a sad song to help get me by
but the song I chose didn't help
all it did was make me cry
I try my best to stay strong
but that is an impossible task
The more I see you the more I wish our relationship would have last
There is nothing to do but for me to move on even though that is hard to do
The only reason why it's hard is because I still really love you

Today after you left I felt it
-There are sweat stains in my sheets and my cheeks are still red-
I tried not to but I did
-My shirt is somewhere on the floor in a pile of later-
I told myself I wouldn't get this way yet here I am
-I'll throw on something else and let you out-
There was a heavy in my stomach that I can't explain
-Fall back into this bed alone-
Maybe it's the future or lack of
-I'm tired and my arms are grabbing for air-
I didn't want to feel anything
-You've got priorities and I don't know what it takes to become one of them-
But now I'm feeling too much.
i have spent my entire life being sad solely because it is familiar
-
once i cried for 13 months over an 8 month relationship that ended within a phone call
-
i wasn't ***** but they stole something from me and i don't know if i'll ever get it back
-
sometimes i refuse to wash the clothes that you've touched and i just say that i forgot
-
showers used to give me panic attacks and instead of seeing a therapist i cut all my hair off
-
i sleep on my stomach in hopes that even just once someone would check to make sure i'm still breathing
-
i get on buses alone in the middle of the night just so i can feel unknown to something else again
-
when i told my father that i was feeling scared again he couldn't understand why it was so relieving
-
i push people away and then i cry when they fall into someone else
-
i'm terrified of adulthood so i stopped celebrating birthdays in hopes that they would take the hint too
-
this barely makes sense to me, but i guess poetry doesn't have to.
if
we **** like
we're in love and
we love like
we're just *******
