:)
it’s the kind of smile
that hurts.
you know the one,
the painful yet
unavoidable one.

that inevitable feeling.
just smile through the pain.

there will be a day
when i finally
find the courage

i’ll work up the nerve
and let it all out.

this cloud that’s been
building up in my mind
will rain down

someday.

i was stupid
to be so naïve
and think
that i was different.
because you don’t
care.

we all hurt the same to you.

i don’t know what’s wrong with me.

i’m not sure
if i’m trying to hurt
you or someone else.
or maybe myself.
but there tends to be
destruction
left in my path.

i don’t know what’s wrong with me.

as the rain falls
i watch out the window
at the storm i created

the thunder breaks
after a few minutes
of trying to hold it back

i did it to myself
and i’ll do it again.
it’s only in my nature.

that fire
it burns deep down
lighting up your desire
all over town.

you gave me a flower
i remember the one you chose,
it made me feel power,
that beautiful rose.

the apple of my eye.
at least that’s what i thought
before you said goodbye,
but i remember the warmth you brought.

it makes me feel sick
that cherry flavor taste,
though it is not the chapstick;
it’s because my love went to waste.

now i see the blood drip
from my heart and into your hand.
it matches that color on your lip.
i have no feet left to stand.

i’m still trying to figure out how
i ate the lies you once fed.
you can take back your rose now.
i hate the color red.

it hurts
more than usual
when the one
who’s supposed to love you
unconditionally
tells you
their conditions
