When things leave
we don't miss a thing
until all the goodness leaves
and the bad things flow in.

If only your
intentions
had matched the
good soul
in your eyes
and in your
lovely skin
and bones.

There are needles
and threads
all tangled up
inside
my soul.
They're the reason
why I
unravel
but come
together
so full.

My house is stacked
Like shelves
Filled with knick knacks
And dust *****
And the kitchen floor is filled with crumbs
That ill sweep up
Tonight
And tomorrow
And the day after.

I wanted to fill your sunken heart
with oxygen
and watch you breathe
and sing.
I wanted to board up
your broken walls
and cracked
windows
just to see you stand strong again.

My heart
is filled
with ferns
so soft
and is surrounded
by thorns
so sharp.

It's not like I was trying to get away.
I knew
that this road
was going to hit a
dead end.
I didn't want to get caught up
in this head on collision
of what I thought was a
soul connection
rather than just
false intimacy.

I thought that when we touched
it was a charge
that could light up the solar systems
or these streets
and
in our eyes
or fill our veins
with an adrenaline rush
that could only amount
to the closest feeling
of feeling alive.

But I don't want to feel this real again.

Take two of this movie scene
that I never asked to screenplay
and I'm tired of the same plot twists
again
and again.
I'm not your cheesy script
waiting to be denied and burned,
tossed and scrapped.
I don't want to be a torn piece of
anything.

But hey,
at least we had fun while it lasted.
don't expect for me to not
feel a little ashamed
or blame you
for doing what you do best:
"Attention *****-ing"
your life
while dropping
everyone who
mattered
behind
anyways.
