I feel like screaming.
I want to forget everything.
Forget every moment you made me smile, every hug that made me feel warm, every promise that passed through your lips.
I want to forget how your voice sounds, I want to forget how your eyes squint when you smile, I want to forget the way you used to look at me
I want to forget.
I want to cry until my eyes couldn’t see you if I tried, I want to tell my brain to forget you were ever alive,
They say you don’t know heartbreak until it’s too late, I should’ve known you weren’t a risk to take.
Someone give my heart the memo: love is just a game,
And it always seems to start with your name.
I wonder, if I removed myself from the equation would you be just fine?
I wonder, if I hadn’t opened up to you so much would I have been hurt so deeply this time?
Do I stroke your ego? Is that why you keep me around?
It’s nice to hear pretty things from pretty girls,
But you were just a pretty boy with pretty lies.
One day, one day, one day.
But always chasing tomorrow doesn’t mean you’ll stay.
How could happiness and sadness be so alike?
So this is what madness feels like.

When I said that what we had was a ticking time bomb,
I didn't expect you to push the detonator.

When you jokingly say that I love you,
If only you knew how much that was true

Lately I've been finding it hard to write poetry,
It's like my head can't figure out what my heart is saying,
I loved you and lost you and found you once again,
I don't really have you but I can feel you within,
I don't think my heart is silent because my love life is a bore,
I think it just might be because my heart isn't broken anymore

Some poems I want to share,
but I must keep them to myself,
because that kind of raw emotion is too much for anyone else

How is it that once a heart breaks,
It's like an earthquake,
And you'll forever feel the *aftershocks
