Here in the Neverafter
I have seen the things you won’t show
It’s such a sweet disaster
Just how much our love could have grown
But I can taste the emptiness
That lies behind each smile you fake
And I can feel your hate infest
Watching every move you won’t make
And it’s not that I don’t love you
It’s not that I don’t care
It's just that I have seen your every microscopic layer
Despite what you may think, I’m not afraid of being alone
But I am afraid that you’ll suffocate my soul
Because I've already died a thousand times
With every time you never said “I love you” first
And I've bled a million tears
With every day that you've been so far from my side
I’m haunted by the memories of who you used to be
Before your lies became perverse
And I’m chocking on the ashes
Of the love you threw away
Before I left you so far behind
And the stories of the person
That you never used to be
Like an echo in a graveyard
Of a love that could not be
And the mourning of the people
We never could have been
There’s a story never told here
It’s the one of you with me
I have been sitting on this for quite a long time, always thinking there was more to say. It seems that it was finished long ago.

Never will i ever taste the sweetness of fruits
After i have tasted your lips.
Never will i ever fear what lies in the shadows
After you lit up my world.
Never will i ever feel the glacial winter breeze
After you warmed my soul.
And never will i ever find a better partner
After you came into my life.

There is a place down below,
Where the mockingbird used to crow,
Under the earth in sweet melody,
Of times gone past, and times gone needily.
In this magical place, I wander,
Speaking of times yonder,
And I speak to my friend,
About this mystical trend,
We work together underneath Charon’s Moon.
In this hell we call, soon.
We wait patiently and talk about revenge.
Ironically that it is the lies we spin, careenage,
Quicker and quickless, fast and fastness,
Speeding our demise and yours,
Upon fates sick web.

I SAW IT THEN,
What I SEE EVEN NOW
The future of MAN and the WOMAN he held dear!
And oh, the woe that lied WITHIN
The laughter so MALICIOUS
And the daughter NEVERAFTER
They all combined for some SICK DISEASE
Something I could not help but SNARL at!
I prayed then for the first time in my LIFE,
Let me take their HEARTS, their BRAINS,
Look at them MOTHER, look at their FAILURES,
What have the done, if not KILLED EACH OTHER.

And then I cried, alone once again.
My friend never there, left me again.
And my tears pooled almost high enough today,
To **** me forever.
Maybe tomorrow when I wake up forgetting again.

I’m writing you this because you haunt me.
There is not a night that passes that I don’t dream of your smile and wake up wishing I could remember.
You are perfect in your imperfections.
The exact mess I believe I am worth.
Each night, the same.
And now this, love? Followed by a hollow murmur of the life I might have had if I had played my cards different.
This poker game has a high buy in.
I think I’m out of chips before the first card is dealt.
Life without you would be perfect, in the way that a cardboard box is perfect when you have no roof over your head.
But your smile weathers the hardest storm, the highest pill, the most desperate cigarette.
I love you as a reflection of what I cannot escape.
The last of my chips are on the table, but there is no game left to play.
The casino is closed, the last old fashioned served.
I am hollow with my vices, but you are the ultimate martyrdom.
A scream to the world that if I can make you happy, then I am redeemed.
Baptismal waters never satiated me or the devil, but we would both cry to see your eyes one last time.
A manic pursuit that ends in the bloodiest of tragedies.
My bed lies cold and divided from the thoughts of you pouring onto my pillow.
Veritable emotion guts me, spinning me out of my head and back into the empty days.
You do not exist.
You have never existed.
A flight of fancy in a world I am forbidden to walk alone.

— The End —
