Tears in my eyes
That won't fall
Heart that's being ripped apart
But won't tear
Body that's shaking
And won't still
Stuck at the breaking point
Of everything
The point that hurts the most
The point after a long struggle
And before the relief
There is no relief for me
My tears won't fall
And my heart won't give
And my body won't stop shaking
There's no relief for me

I'm sick of waiting
I'm sick of falling,
I'm breaking
I'm tired,
but I can't sleep.

You're breaking me
while I'm falling for you.
I'm just waiting for you to notice,
the pain that you've put me through.

breaking  a heart is like,

ripping an artists' lovely canvas in half, as you watch the artist cry you laugh.

breaking a heart is like,

smashing a guitarists' guitar, it leaves a musical scar on the guitarist, who no longer wishes to be a star.

breaking a heart is like,

bringing a small child into society, quickly ruining their views of society.

breaking a heart is like,

telling the sun we no longer need him, he says okay, and we regret it as we're slowly dying the next day.

but hey, breaking hearts is popular now.

i mean like wow,

but to be honest, the more

hearts are breaking

the more art is silently awaking.

it's kind of sad really,

dont get me wrong, its breathtaking

but dont you think its silly

**how art has to be awoken this way?
breaking hearts is somehow turning into an art form? and i wanted to write about.

I'm loaded
I've locked and stored everything inside.
But the walls are beginning to break:
Bang! against my mouth,
Bang!  against my heart
Bang! against my fists,
Bang! I'm falling apart.

I'm so heavy,
I've locked and stored it all inside,
My feet are heavy, and I'm playing tug and war
to keep these walls from falling apart,
but they're halfway down:
****! I'm getting weak
****! I can't lift my feet
****! I'm starting to fall
****! is this it?

I have been burdened
I've manufacturing bottles
and using my feelings as its fluid for too long
But the walls are shaking,
and they're finally down:
Boom! did you hear that sound?
Boom! that's the sound of anger, roaring
Boom! I've cause an explosion
Boom! I am scary now, I finally burst.

24.
when we were real and we were getting better
and we weren't fighting and shouting profanities
and it kind of always felt so false because i guess we were so used to the bad stuff
and everyone around us kept doubting all of the good stuff
and it shouldn't matter and it didn't but it would have been easier had other people had hope too
and i just guess i hope this time we
are real again
like two years ago in the snow
in the dark December night
way back when but hey,
we can be that again

If the time machine wasn't just wishful thinking.
I would go back to our sweet beginnings,
Spending days where it felt so natural.
Days with no animosity, no anger, jealousy or regret.


No despair, like I feel through my entire being.
I hate having to know that you're cutting me with your oblivious facade, goes left unspoken.
I'm left grieving over something that would provide us both happiness that could very well be imperishable.


Like most who have been on earth as long as ourselves, they don't know patience.
As well as don't realize or acknowledge the benefits our
elders recognized and still treat as a virtue.


It devastates my internal spirit that my nearly all the appreciated times we share are when humans vulnerable.
We lie there together, both in our own bliss.
I gracefully touch my lips to your cheek.
When you utter a non-seductive sound, I hear the sincerity in your vocal cords as they flow into my ear and drift straight to my heart.
It is only then I begin to remember why I invest in this bank with no reciprocation.


I don't demand anything from your pockets, wardrobe or any material possession. I just desire the return of love and companionship. Your presence makes my heart feel whole again, and I shower you with love.
The affection I try to give to you is forced away with your inappropriate giggles or illusionist approach.
I didn't know becoming sincere with someone who has so much significance in my life would be worse than marrying a inattentive enchanter.


I've undergone heartbreak without closure. I perceived I was safe enough to open my welded vault of three years. All caused by 14 months of disregarded tender intellect that left this heart in fragments that would never be able to become what it once was. If ever a heart is shattered into pieces, it's impossible to bond the sentimental epicenter entirely back together.
Like a mirror that an infuriated queen breaks when it reveals to her, her true disposition.


I wish my mirror wouldn't be destroyed again, because each time someone's heart is treated like a football, some pieces are always left behind.
I don't need a breadcrumb trail of glass to my grave.
However, this is life, and we don't always get what is desired.
Those who came before will find themselves desiring what they gave away, and it will lead them only to my tomb that they all played a part in building.

Bitter winter wind
Warm golden sunshine
Honey Green Tea
The burn of *****
This isn't a poem
I miss you
I remember how your lips fit in the crease of my neck
Hushed whispers at 4AM
Loud yelling at 1PM
This isn't a poem
I miss you
I remember everything about you
*Do you remember me?
not really anything but kind of something

I thought we were friends
but you've turned cold
it's like your heart
is made out of stone
Is it because parts of our lives
are going in different directions
that your cutting of ties
since you can't use them anymore?

Is this how we have become?
Standing on each side of a cliff
You with your back turned
while i'm still reaching
a hand out your way
hoping that you'll take it
or at least let me know
that you're okay
and making new friends
since I can't make you stay.

This fast change of heart
doesn't make sense
It seems more like
we never really were friends
Just a Random poem

My poems are not a safe place to be.
But despite the danger, you seem to linger here.
The rafters hang with stripped electrical cables
but this building has never been up to code.

I hope you have your helmet, dear -
for everything is falling down.
Look how the light shines through broken window -
you could almost mistake it for beauty.

You offer me a bucket of wet paint,
but there are no longer walls to wash.
They've all crumbled now.
The frames are all that's left.

They look like skeleton, you see.
Like prison bars or Greek columns.
Am I dungeon or am I Panthéon?
Tell the truth this time, my love.

No matter, I suppose.
We will fade to nothing soon -
You, my poems, and I.
Written in one sitting and unedited. May revisit this concept again in the future to really do it justice.

They don't understand
As I reach out my hand
You are the only one I want to grab it
But they think I'm a bad habit
They worry for you
And what I might do
So they tear us apart
Not thinking of your heart
They say this is best
As they take the heart from your chest
They blame it on me
As I drown in this sea
They hate me for existing
And I'm trying to keep resisting
But the erge to run grose strong
How can our love be wrong
And I won't say "hey we tried"
Because I need you by my side
Best friends from the begining
We can't let them keep winning
So don't let go of my hand
Just because they don't understand
This is how I feel, in case you didn't know
