I need a break from reality.
Headphones in, music blasting... Block out the world..
For a little while. It doesn't have to be forever.
Though I wouldn't mind if it was, you seem happy.
Or at least content.. I'll always want the best for you even if that means with out me.
Not quite finished just need to empty my mind a bit

Stupidly stuck,
Waiting, while
Past pressures
Present problems,
Making moving
On awful.
Essentially erased
From fraudulent
Thoughts that
Hurt. How
Our original
Love lives
Were wronged
By bad
Decisions decided
Immaturely. Intimacy
Died down
And, alone,
Rejected, retreated
I keep waiting for a day when I don't think about it, but that day has yet to come...

I'm thinking about a place to be
That is very near here

Well to be accurate
It is here

I'm thinking about a place to be
Here, I'm thinking about here

My here
Your here

Are we
here?

Not now
of course

then realize
Yes now

Like I've frozen
a Now

And a Here
In ink

Not
Ink

Electrons
I'm writing in ******* electrons

I realize

Saved some
******* place

Via
my phone

And photons
Wait

Photons were involved
with ink

thank God
for photons

they're
just like home

Light snacking
In a new 'verse

“Write”
-he says-
So that you may never forget.

Let the footprints
of your path
be the words
you once wrote.

Fill the white sheets
of paper
With rainbow colored
Ink.

Red
for love
Blue
for sorrow
Yellow
for happiness

Write about
The beach you once went to
The stars you see
The future only you can imagine

Write about
Love,
Loss,
HIM.
Write about him.
Write anything.

“Just write”
-he says-
Write so that you may never be forgotten.

In the bottom of your ocean
It's all dark, I know
it's all cold, I know
Like you.
Wanted to drown, did you?

In the bottom of your grave
it's all silent, I know
it's all empty, I know
Like you.
Wanted to die, did you?

All these skies, above,
it's all stars, you know
it's all melodies, you know
unlike you.
Don't want that, do you?

No.


So don't be a little ***** about it.
Contemplated sharing this for a while since it could be easily misunderstood. Regardless, I bet I'm stepping on a lot of toes.

It's that Whiff of air
The smell
The moment you enter Starbucks

That bitter taste
Sometimes sweetened
Other times raw bean

That's what love smells like
That's how it tastes
Like coffee

They're both praised
They're both overrated
And I hate coffee

She's never felt loving

I try and hold her hand
from far away

Her gaze
looks through the high walls
I've been caught
she can see everything

She's a flash of lightning
the sound of a sudden storm

Keeps a straight face
at a distance

Blue car
Blue nails
Blue heart

I try to show her the colors
I try and teach her red

She's living in shades of blue
I can't see

It's all a dream
from
looking out a window
blowing a candle
a smile
a kiss
sleep
eyes
closed
whenever she's by herself

You're the storm I love
You're my thunder and lightning
You left and I grew
