You could've talked to me, to give me a heads up.
To tell me that you were feeling that way.
That is what trying is.

My fear as of late
R Sep 2015
The more you learn about me, the more scared I become.
I'm scared that you'll leave when you find out more and more about me.
You want to know everything.
Not because I'm this "interesting" person that you say I am,
but because you're actually genuinely interested in who I am and who I will become.
Just don't let anything I say change anything, okay?
I keep telling you things and they come out like word *****.
I hope it doesn't change anything.

Contemplations
R May 2014
My mom is sick.
as usual
But, I took a moment
to tell her hello and
get her some water.
We talked for a moment
but she stopped and saw
a trailer on the TV of two
girls kissing and put on a
look of disgust on her face.
I became silent with fear and
an overwhelming shame ran through me.

What if she knew? What if she knew that I am in love with the girl of my dreams? That I wish to hold her in my arms forever and to kiss away her pain for the rest of my life? That I have fallen for a girl whom she trusts?

I now sit in my room contemplating why God would have made me gay if my own parents would end up hating me?
not shameful for being who I am, but more filled with shame because I can never tell them how I feel unless is want to be put on the streets...

and as he walked into the room, my eyes lit up. everything inside of me combusted and I could feel every single vibration in my bones as his heartbeat quaked around me. but he would never see what he has done to me. *he will never know.

Come on Rach, give it a shot. It only hurts for a second
No, I cant. I made a promise. I only did it a few times but It has been forever.
You're worthless, I'm the only one that wants you. Why can't you want me back?
Because you're *bad
and I cant, I made a promise.
If she couldn't keep them, then why should you?
And for once, my old friend made sense.
**But, I *couldn't.

What's a girl to do?
R May 2015
He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say
Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away.

Why I need to leave
R May 2015
I can't wait to leave.
Parts of you will be scattered and left everywhere and
I'll make sure to leave them there.
I won't have to endure the pain every morning and night
and I'll leave those fragments of your heart that you gave me
in the dirt in different parts of the country,
possibly in the world someday.
Maybe then someone will see them and
water them like seeds,
because they failed to grow inside of me,
which is why I need to leave.
More and more excitement grows inside of me everyday, I can't wait to get away from everything, including myself.

Love Facts #23
R May 2015
You know you love them when
you still want the best for them and
you tell them to say "I love you"
to their new boyfriend
because you know
that the worst crime is
not letting someone know that
you them them too.
There's no time to waste.

one day I will not associate even the most minuscule of things with you, like the date or what I eat or even words. I believe that this truly is something to look forward to, because I simply cannot handle the pain of it anymore.
I'm asking Him to give me strength, because while each day gets easier my heartstrings are still attached... Each string will be cut one by one as the days go on. God bless my soul and yours as well.

when all of this rain clears up,

I'm just wondering how many lullabies will be sung until you
