He gave me dead flowers
So I can smell them every day
The rotten petals falling
The color of decay

The washed out sunflower
The dehydrated leaves
The mold on the water
The color of debris

The richly red rose
Now drooping to the floor
The color of love
Existed no more

But still I saved the flowers
And smelled them every day
And watered them with tears
To let them grow again.

I'm never going to
fall
in love again
cause i'm always getting
wounded
you should always cleanse your wounds though

swaying on the brink of the rooftop
i drink in the world below
and burn it into my eyes
for my breaths are few and far between
a reminder of the borrowed time
i've been clutching to
a heaving chest

tears kiss my cheeks
its twilight and my limbs have turned
to lead
suddenly, there is no promise for the future
suddenly, i wish for respite
to end the existence that once seemed
so bright and full
but now is as hollow as my words

and no form of "sorry"
can save me now
sob it to my cooling corpse
force it into empty lungs
scream it until i turn blue
you cant help me
and theres no way out
but
down.

I really like ducks

They are yellow

Ducks are cool.

I like them a lot.

We chased a feeling
not a reality

We both wanted someone
So desperately
that we found each other

Even though no part of
us
worked

Our pieces didn’t fit together
so we pressed and jammed them
until they were stuck
and stayed that way
Until
we broke

The bitterness next to the desire
Love hurts! they say, but I am tired
Like weird sisters they go hand in hand
He is like an open itchy wound and you love that too
Becomes a part of him and you
It becomes the canvas for sickly passionate love
The pain as a way to connect with us
Loving you is bitter, no longer a good plan
Good memories blended with little knives
Good memories not distinguished from bad ones
What a twisted way to fall in love

we burned

we watched the walls burn down. i watched as the fire died in your eyes as our world came down around us. you watched as i fell deeper into the darkness. i was your world, and you were mine. both of us fell apart in each other’s arms. we burned into each other, scarring memories that we shall never forget.
