Is it supposed to hurt like this?
I don't know why
I am just so **** tired.
Shoot myself into eternal slumber.
They just called my number.
I'm gonna die alone.
The weakness of love has shown.
Breaking my back
from bending over you.
I'm gonna die alone.
Got no heart.
No soul.
Falling into a black abyss.
No one ******* knows.

It hurts to know I'm not enough.
But at least I try.
It hurts to k ow that you accept it.
But you deserve the world.
Sometimes I feel
like such a waste of time.
Should I leave you alone?
I'd rather be the first one to leave.
Oceans drowning me below.

I tried my best to fight it.
You're way out of my league.
But of course
you saw right through me.
******* disbelief.
Knowing that I have got no shot
makes me feel so weak.
But still I would do anything for you.
Falling down to my knees.

I'm kind of getting tired
of crying myself to sleep.
The scars are never fading.
The thoughts never leave.
I just want someone to love me.
Is that so hard to ask?
Drinking down the bottle.
Emptying my flask.

"David Cassidy moved to the ICU
         on Sunday as his condition began
         deteriorating..."    The Daily News

Go figure:
David Cassidy lies dying as
Charlie Manson laughs
into the hollow cough of truth.

And we children of the 70's,
no longer innocent spectators,
wonder:  Who was right afterall?
The Lover?  The Hater?
Who was right? 

And "I think I love you...
but what am I so afraid of?"
I'm afraid WE ARE helter-skelter--
that's what!

And madder than Alice's Hatter,
madder than an Oracle--
ignored, good ol' Charlie laughs
along with the voices in his head
at us, because he knew more in
those few days in Hollywood
than the Partridge boy would
ever understand:  Fame is fleeting,
unless it is fear based.
Then, then... it lasts a life time.
Amen.

Like a tree crossing a stream
Once standing so tall
But searching for another shore
Only finding it
After breaking
Molly Nicole Oct 2017
Cracks in my character
Lined with silk
Lovers touch
Like a sharpened blade
Gliding smoothly
Only painful when removed
I'm a story book of unfortunate events and cliches
And the morbidly curious find their way
Into my arms
A comforting fear
A lion taming circus

I'm not sure anymore if this gun
Is still loaded with flowers

But you
Hold me so tight
Squeeze out the anxiety
Catch it
Make me a balloon animal with its breath
The most beautiful rebound.

i still remember the way
your skin
felt against my lips
the night
I fell in love with you
the only thing that keeps my heart from dying is the little breath I take after crying

the flower is wilting, bending
falling under the weight of the world
it's breaking, crumbling,
but it's forgotten as its tread on

perhaps they didn't see it,
perhaps they didn't care,
but the flower is dying,
slowly, slowly,
waiting for the final petal
to fall and claim its life
recently started studying poetry in college, this is just a test.

I have been through ****,
Trust me.
I know how it feels to have all the feels
I know how it feels to be unnoticed and feel unloved
But I also know how it feels to be the person
that doesn’t feel anything back to the person who is flying as high as a kite because they are so in love.
Neither feeling is great,
  we all feel the pain and the gain and the loss.
Since I’ve been through hell and back,
I know what I think I deserve.
Wanting someone who gives me more than you do,
But still falling for you,
Even though im with you
I know that someone could make me feel
happier than the happy I am with you.
You say im your queen on one day,
Then you go back to treating me like the maid.
I have given you warnings that you need to level up your game
Because we started this level together when I was weak
Now im strong and getting stronger
And with strongness comes realization,
Realization of how I have changed.
I am not the ugly duckling anymore
I feel as though im now the swan.
I know now that I can do better
  It’s hard because I love you
But I feel as though we are stuck at this level
Im trying to go higher but you are still repeating the same level not gaining any experience.
I just don’t know what to do
Should I start a new game and end ours
Or try again to help you level up
In the end I started a new game,
A game with out you.

I remember that night.
I drove to your friends house.
I walked to the garage to greet you.
You looked down at me with that smile of yours, god I loved it so much.
I looked you in the eyes and said I never loved you.
I lied.
I wanted to cry in front of you, but instead I walked away as you just looked.
I just hope you knew that I was lying.

first glance
looking my worst nightmare
straight in the eyes
fire raging behind souless irises

touching tounges
swapping spit
the devil's kiss
tasted so sweet
it made me sick

carless caress
i felt the poision
from the grim reaper's skeletal fingers
leak into my veins
intoxicate my bloodstream

gluttonous embrace
stick your knife in my back
slice my heart out of my broken ribs

run your fingers through my hair
satan's got a grip on my mind
make me scream
make me bleed

it is a horror show after all
this romance could be nothing more.
