Can't sleep

stuck

I am always
perched
on the edge of the
seat
because you
take up too much
space
- yet it's
somehow
still better
than
standing.

Even when my wonderful
universe seems like
a cosmic mess,

Even when
all these souls
leave us in the
form of death,

Even though I'm
underfed, underslept
and can't catch my breath,

I emit love
**and so who cares about all the rest?
change yourself.
change yo
life.

If I died
Would you miss me?
If I lied
Would you forgive me?
If I love you
Would you love me?

I put One above you
Who do you put above me?

If I hate myself
Would you hate with me?
If I find joy above all else
Would you celebrate with me?
If I'm lonely
Would you stay with me?
If I let sin own me
Would you pray with me?
Told Crying Silhouette I would post this.  Tell me what you think.  This is from a ways back in my notebooks.

One of these days,
I swear
you'll text me
and
I won't reply.

I'm sorry for being so quiet the first time we met. Truth is that in my head, I couldn't stop writing poems about your eyes.

2. I still dream about your hands.

3. I can't stop playing with matches now. I remember how much you loved fire.

4. I can still taste you on my lips.

5. How could you walk away so easily? You can't tell me it wasn't real. [delete]
6. I love you....do you understand?

7. There's a guy in my English class with the same colored eyes as you.

8. I've tried loving anyone with your accent. None of them say my name the way you do.

9. I can't sleep anymore. I keep waiting for you to wish me goodnight.

10. I miss you.

11. The moon is full and beautiful tonight and I can't stop thinking of you.

12. Will you come count the stars with me?

13. Remember when you complimented my poems? I wonder if you knew that they were all about you.
[delete]
14. Are you thinking of me, too?
[delete]
15. You always said you were addicted to me. Tell me, are you going through withdrawals?

you realize you have no one
when you're screaming into your pillow at 2 am
and you call them
and it rings
and you get sent to voicemail

because everyone can fall asleep
and no one really cares

when your head is about to explode

your heart is bleeding acidic poison rotting you from the inside out

and

you're choking on every single letter formed into words that escaped their mouth

"are you okay?"
this is a question in which I've answered with a variety of letters carelessly formed into words laced into scentances

and I've been telling myself and others that "yes, I'm okay" or "I'm fine" or "just tired" and I've been saying it over and over again in my mind because maybe if my mind screams "YOU'RE FINE" my heart will hear and believe it

but when "I love you" turns to "*******" or "you're not good enough" or no resoponse at all

it's certainly not okay
and I am certainly not okay
but maybe if I keep telling myself that I am, I will be
maybe
