The shimmering light has died
         The image of you slowly
                    fades out
I will cry,
       I am crying,
                I have cried.
The darkness consumes the doubt
                The hail Mary,
        the pass over the line
    It's too much,
             I can no longer reach out
This knife is too pretty
         and *I'm not fine
lost in my mind Dec 2014
Depression has made a home in my bones
it curls up inside my rib cage
wounding itself around my heart
This body is a city that used to shine so bright.
Gold and silver dust glowed,
two elements that usually don't
go together blended harmoniously,
you could hear a symphony in your ear.
It was the core.
Now the city is empty,
except for the few stragglers that are trying
to fix it up to its former glory.
It is a lost cause, but they do not yet know
that the bones are decaying,
withering away.
The heart is beating
but it's bleeding.
Black blood that stains this ugly city.
It's all deteriorating.
Soon it will be transparent.
Then it would be gone
Wrote this at 5 AM. My mind goes haywire at inconvenient times.

your bleeding lips singe
my own with the residue
of your putrid lies.

I took my heart
and tore it
in punishment and scorn
I squeezed the lump
and swore it
must never be forlorn
now my soul is bleeding
from the nails I jabbed straight in
and all my roses bruising
from no more than selfish sin
I am my own worst enemy most of the time
Ten fingertips scratch the comforter

Of my dingy, twin-sized cot

Alone in this endeavor

Alone, and left to rot.

-

These eyes of mine are bleeding

It's scary as can be

I don't remember, in my existence

A cloak so stained with tea.

-

Her shawl flapped like a feather

As she strode the sandy walk

Blotches of Chamomile, that made me smile

Really got us both to talk.

-

Her laughter was a bubble

My mind needed a muzzle

She touched my shoulder twice

My heart needed ice.

-

She left me in a hurry

My eyes got really blurry

She gotta get back to her hubby

But it was really nice to meet me

-

Never got her number

Never got her name

Only know her freaking shawl was freaking tea-stained.

here i am
bleeding ink onto
a clean page
when i should
be safe and sound
with the dreams
that include you
and slowly become
my nightmares.
He makes me want to give up writing because the pain is too deep to describe
Maybe I'm exaggerating but hurt doesn't lie
I had it all figured out then it all fell apart
Now I've froze over with a cold , empty heart
I let you slip through my fingers by ironically gripping too tight
But I wanted you so much I was still willing to fight
I know you still have love left for me, even if it's just an ounce
Your slightest attention still made my heart pound
I try but I can't get you out of my mind
With you, there is never enough time
To describe the feeling you've made me feel
Or the open wound still dying to heal
The memories fading but the heart still remembers
Now I'm stuck in a preoccupied September
Reminiscing about the summer
When it seemed like I had you forever
I'm trying to pick up the pieces
But my hands won't stop bleeding
If I had one wish
I'd stop you from leaving
I'm sorry I didn't mention the amazing things about you.
