I remember the smell
In the library,
The quilt squares
That covered the tall shelves,
Homes to old, aging pages;
The aroma of faded words,
Fresh and strong,
Like the nail polish remover
Used to steal away
The chipped, black polish,
That lied over my long fingernails.
The nail polish that had once
Matched the dress I wore at your funeral.
My only memories of you
Hide within the perfume
Of musty bindings.
if you are unaware of who this poem is a tribute to, please, step away from the keyboard and go to your nearest library. Search Edgar Allan Poe.

He inhaled his cigarette
like he was taking in the cancer
to smoke out the monsters within.

I smoked my cigarettes
like I was trying to **** myself
to **** the beast within.

And that's how we found each other
sitting on a park bench
smoking the demons away.

The thought sounds just as good as being stabbed with a fork.
You ruined the want.
To consider being with someone else gives me a chance to have another you.
Disgusting.

Everytime I believe I am truly happy. I lose grasp of it all.Like a baby snatched from the wound.
Taken from where they feel safe, cared for, warm and comfortable. Its taken from me, not shortly after I've learned that it was my home.  I can never feel safe when Ive finally found that comfort zone. I know it won't be long before it will be taken from me. Even when I shelter it as if it were my own child protecting it from any possible harm and any chance of me losing it. It's still taken away. Taken away so often that I no longer want it.Maybe this is how it is supposed to be.Once you lose something so many times.... its clear that you don't deserve it.

let the bugs eat my body
let the tears drown the memories
let the fears dry in sorrow
set my soul free and reach the tender infinity

Only few miles apart,
Its been a couple days,
Since I have seen your face,
All I can do is imagine it,.

I miss you to where my stomach hurts,
My heart skips a beat whenever I see a car like yours drive past,
Thinking constantly about your embrace,
The way you kiss my face,
You always tell me I am beautiful,
You say i'm  your angel,
I miss your voice,
I miss gazing into your eyes,
Deep and blue,
My eyes are brown,
Not as perfect as yours but they see you so clearly,
I feel home sick even though i'm under the roof of where I live,
I am at complete comfort when you cuddle up to me,
I love the way you look at me,
You touch me so sensitively,
Almost as if you're afraid I will break,
Although you say my heart is strong,
I gave it to you,
Which is why it is that way,
You held it together with care and love,
I feel sick without you.

Today was hard depressed.
Depressed hit me like a rock with a dark cloud forming in my mind.
the dark cloud grows and tell me your worthless,
unlovable and a nasty person
why would anyone love and care for you
The pain in my mind and the longing for it all to end.
how its written over my face and the scars on my body
the longing for people to like and accept me for who I am and how I wish
I could accept myself and love myself
how I hate my life and hate being me
How I try to be brave but sometimes it's really hard being me.
