I often lie awake at night
To avoid seeing you in my dreams
Only to think about you constantly
Missing you
Is only half
Of the void I feel

You showed me that living was more than just the motions,
That by simply floating by I would drown in life's oceans,
And even though we were not meant to be,
I shall forever cherish how you set me free.

Chaos
There's a girl in the mirror
And I don't know who she is
At least not anymore
Where there once was light
There is now darkness
It seeps through her pores
Her eyes are dull and lifeless
Seeing nothing but the demons
As she stares at the walls
The tears have cut sharp tracks
Into the contours of her cheeks
Ripping her skin as they fall
Where there once were curves
There are sharp, jutting edges
Showing her soul to the core
Her mind no longer thinks
Or works in any single way
As she lies still upon the floor
She no longer belongs here
With the living and breathing
But in the darkness forever more
Pain is her very best friend
And death shall be her lover
As soon as she makes **the call
Everywhere I turn, I slam into memories of you.
They pop up like brick walls, creating a maze out of my life.
I can't find the way out, I can't escape.

Each morning, the toothbrush you left in my bathroom,
adds a new **** to my chest. The scar tissue tells the
tale of the many hours we wasted in laughter and in bed.

Each afternoon, the book you left on my shelf,
hits me like a nasty right hook, as I collapse on the couch.
The same place where you once kissed me so tenderly,
I swore could feel the happiness dripping from my pores.

Each evening, the liquor you left in my kitchen
slides down my throat like fire. It engulfs my
esophagus in flames, when my mind refuses
to forget the night you brought it over,
and danced with me in front of the stove.

I can't escape,
I miss you too much.
the selfie stick
with a gun at the end
pointed at me
shooting you
You
You are like my favorite book because every time I re-read I find something new .
