your mind wanders the empty halls at night
I try to find you, racing the darkness to fight.
you push me away with your raging silence
I can feel your silent violence.

or is it only me?

I look for your soul in the darkest black
but you've buried your stain inside the plaque.
I reach for your broken, beating heart
but you went back, back to the start

or is it just my imagination?

I can't seem to find where your thoughts run
you don't seem to care, you want to bargain.
bargain your lies for your presence
when all I feel is your absence.

or is it just me?

I want to hold your heart
and cradle your soul
but how can I be on your art
if you never let me give you console?

or am I wrong?

I want you to understand
that I'm here to stay, stay as planned.
why can't you believe me?
I won't leave you, didn't we agree?

or was that my promise to me?

why do you push me away?
I just want you to stay...
my heart cries in the morning dew,
but where,
where are you?



please come here and understand I love you and I won't live without you.
I love you please come back

Some people will never understand
That going to bed is just so hard
How am I supposed to explain
Why I never get sleep
Or why I sometimes just stop trying

It never works
I've tried them all
I've done all the methods
And I've read all the articles
I still can't sleep

My friends all try to encourage me
To fix my sleeping habits
And stay as healthy as I can
I really appreciate them for it
But sadly, it's not as easy as they think

I've grown to realize
That even if I wanted to
I couldn't get my **** together
Because sleep scares me
It reminds me of every bad dream I've ever had

So why do I have a horrible sleeping schedule?
Why do I joke around that I'm a mess?
Why do I go to school with tired eyes?
What do I say when people ask my best friends name?
Who is the mastermind behind this madness?

My Best Friend: Insomnia

So, there you have it
Now you know
That sometimes
A lot of times
Some kids just can't sleep

it's lent, can't stop, got some lines
how doomed could i be?

why
was it worth it?
to feel something? just for ten ******* minutes,
to feel something?

i can't look at you, Conchúr,
you repulse me.
every crocodile tear and shark-*******-smile,
with your smug little laugh,
and your meaningless words -

you weave them together,
constructing vast fantasies and empty promises -
how many people have you trapped,
in your wide and selfish net?

oh! but you've always been so good with words.
and may that be the death of you,
because you deserve hell for your sins:
one eternity is not black enough for creatures like you.

lies, lust, pain - that's your bread and butter.
you never were good at much else,
but ****** you are good at hurting
those around you, the ones who care.

she was right to get rid of you,
especially when she did,
because look how far you've come!

when was it... only last night you tried again,
didn't you? you thought no one was looking,
but they all have eyes, and someone will find out.

they'll see your scars (remember to keep it below the belt next time, buddy, okay?),
or they'll see the blood (god, how it gushed after all that dancing - i thought you were a goner),
or they'll find your pathetic little poems,
gathering dust on some forgotten corner of the internet,
where your heart is too bare,
and its blackness is plain to see.

what then? will it be worth it then?
to express something? just to try and put your life in words,
to express something?

"oh look at you, you poor thing,
you've been so hard done by..."

*******.

this is your fault,
and you deserve every last ounce of hurt.
god, i don't know what else i am to do. how did i end up like this? what happened to me?

we humans have such a need to be loved
afraid of being
alone
abandoned
left for granted

and i am no different
i want to feel the rush
butterflies in my stomach
wing against my hair
hands against his heart
heart intertwined with my soul

you may ask why
am i so enamoured with this
idea of love

perhaps it is so i do not feel lonely
for i have been (lonely) for a while now
even when i am surrounded by people
there is no one
not really
not anyone who connects with my soul

or perhaps  i just want to feel more put together
after all
everyone thinks you’re so much happier when you have a significant other

or perhaps i just want someone to hold hands with
someone to kiss
embrace
****

oh
ah
oh
i’m not fooling anyone, am i?
the reason i am so enamoured with the idea of love
is because i am obsessed with the notion that someone else can fix me up
heal the void in my heart
clear the window to my soul
but we all know band aids don't fix bullet holes

I look over my shoulder just to see where you are
only to see you talking not to me

I look at you from across the room just to catch
only a glimpse of you trailing hair

I be in the same room as you but I can
only get mad at myself for being a coward

I engage with you in a small conversation
only to find myself stammering at your beauty

I pick you out from the crowd just by glancing
only to find you walking with a guy, smiling at his jokes

I stray from my own thoughts and friends
only to disappoint myself and my friends for you are not there

I love you and would do everything for you
only to see you get your heart hurt by another genuine guy

A sight to see
only you're not in front of me

A friend to have
only to find myself unworthy for you

A women to love
only you don't even see me as a friend

A coward meets his crush
only to find out they were just passerby
