& then it begins;
the first moment,
the second moment,
the first & second
series of moments
where there is beauty
outside of you
& it is so very unreal
that even the sun
seems to shine brighter
in places where you
are not.
Building bridges.

How did I know that a half assed apology would make my way this morning?
How did I know that it wouldn't mean a thing, and that nothing would change?
History I suppose.
This history also shows, just how many nights I fought my own head to stay strong.
While you, lied, cheated, had no thought of my inner battle.
The battle you started.

I became weak as a kitten, with every passing day I yearned for the support from you.
I would scream "Please, I Just want you to hold me till I can face the world again!"
The screaming, you would just say would hurt your ears.
So, you'd walk away, or hang up the phone.
And the knife would go in deeper, through to the other side how many times?

If everyone else can see the pain in my eyes?
Are you the blind one? Or, do you just  see your own?
Am I just a mirror, and now that I am broken in pieces, not valued that much?
A little "****, I'm sorry" text.

After I tell you, you never run to me, so I give up.
I said you wouldn't do anything for me, and I deserve that.
I told you goodbye cause I was never worth that much to you.
and that you had every chance to prove the love I so desperately fought for,
you ignored me last night.

For the last time, you hung up on my pain.
For the last time, I let you, whom didn't care how hopeless I felt,
control the direction of my life.
You, were supposed to the man, the strong one protecting what you loved.
Yet, Battered, bruised, beat down by the world, and alone.
That's all I am.

You will read what I write, give up, and live on without me.
And that is why I choose to do the same.
History shows we weren't meant to  be.
And now I close the book, the pain.
And say Good Bye.

i.
some days are more
worth living than
others; today is not
one of those days

ii.
your words stay pinned
on my mirror, and i
don't know if i am
keeping them there to
torture myself
or to remind myself
that i should stay
alive

iii.
i used to be okay,
and i don't know how
i ever was that way
or how to get back

iv.
you used to draw maps me
on my arms; nobody knew where
they went except for
you

v.
i want go where
you do, but i don't know
how to find you
i'm a mess

it's hard to feel much of anything
if you're using darkness as a cover
over bright lights that refuse to turn on
it's hard to feel much of yourself
when you're covered in memories you don't want
it's hard to breathe sometimes

it's hard to walk with two feet
on ground covered in broken dreams
it's hard to open your eyes when
all you see is burnt out hope
smoke filled love was what i got

it's hard to be yourself when
no one else wants you to be
when all they wanted was money and your body
it's hard to see yourself as lovable
when you had nobody to love you
it's hard to love when no body wants you

it's hard to realize why you're crying
when oceans are drowning every thought you have
it's hard to hear over the waves
it's hard when you want to be okay
it's even harder when you thought you were

She was pretty.
Scratch that.
She was beautiful.
Scratch that too.

She was more beautiful,
Than a sunrise on a winter morning.
Or a rainfall on an autumn day
Where the leaves dance in the wind
And fill the sky with life.
More beautiful than a flower
That breaks through the cracks
Of a concrete garden
And brings color to the air.
She was more beautiful,
Than any poem that's ever been written.

She was beautiful.
Scratch that.
She still is.

...
things don't happen to you uninvited.

stick around.

monsters come and go.

Change is hard

but like anything incredible,

its worth it.

maintaining it is useless.

any end of the emotional spectrum

turns us numb

and honestly,

who wants that?

.

the trick is

to keep the waves steady,

not too low,

not too high

and splash ourselves with each

more kindly.

.

and when the harsh waves threaten, dive.

dive deep and pull out that strength you hardly use.

it is no good to you wasted.

.

its okay.

you can do it.

it just takes a little getting used to

that's all.
