here i am
at this moment,
willing to give
my heart again
so carelessly
without knowing
if the hands
that’ll hold it
would
crush
or
mend it.
havent been able to write often lately. i’m in a happy place at the moment and would like to write about it soon.

Us
We choose
what we want to see
We believe
what we want to believe
We love
who we want to love
We do
whatever we want
We listen
to whoever we want
We don't
do what others want us to do
We do
what we want to do
We
are who we are
And
we have to live with that

We will walk
this crumbling precipice
with the kinks in our backs.

We will pay
no mind and no heed,
the darkness that encroaches
from unassuming cracks.

I liked you
I thought you liked me too
                 I liked you
I didn't need wine to pull through

I liked you
But I was a fool
                 I liked you
I just couldn't play it cool

I liked you
And it was easy, you see
                 I liked you
You said it yourself, you were another version of me

I liked you
Now all that has changed
                 I liked you
I'll date dudes and won't care about their names

I liked you
You were so complimentary
                 I liked you
Until you let me fall empty

I liked you
As Icarus for you were the sun
                 I liked you
You taught me to burn them and run

I liked you
It's clear now to see
                 I liked you
I'll destroy them all before they destroy me
Thanks a lot man. They just aren't you..

I ain't picking up my heart
off the floor this time
you want to say something
then get in line

so sick of people
with there expectations
I don't want to be
the next sensation
you got your opinions
don't bring them around here
I couldn't care less
What you think my dear

Don't go dragging me down
Just cuz you've got no one
to push around
I ain't your little puppet
I ain't your man
You shouldn't go
******* with someone
You can't handle

I ain't picking up my heart
off the floor this time
you want to say something
then get in line

so sick of people
with there expectations
I don't want to be
the next sensation
you got your opinions
don't bring them around here
I couldn't care less
What you think my dear

Just stop, reminisce
I don't need you all up
in my face like this
excuse me miss
could you stop telling me
How I should live
Cuz I don't give a ****
you can **** on this...

I ain't picking up my heart
off the floor this time
you want to say something
then get in line

so sick of people
with there expectations
I don't want to be
the next sensation
you got your opinions
don't bring them around here
I couldn't care less
What you think my dear

Don't really care
About all these people
Heading my way
They may go acting
like there **** don't stink
But their nose is in their ***
Don't you think
What are yall saying
You don't know me
Wait...Have I told you my story?

I ain't picking up my heart
off the floor this time
you want to say something
then get in line

so sick of people
with there expectations
I don't want to be
the next sensation
you got your opinions
don't bring them around here
I couldn't care less
What you think my dear

Break it up.
Pack the bowl.
Spark.
Inhale.
Exhale.
I exhale you, in a cloud of smoke.
I get a deep sinking feeling in my chest, like rocks have been placed in my lungs.
******.
This isnt what i expected it to be like.
Silent.
I can hear the coyotes howling.
I fear even they know the inevitable.
Crack.
Everyone knows stone breaks with time.
Careless.
I carelessly aloud you to pick at the cracks.
My wall, made of stone, deteriorating before my eyes.
Empty.
No regard, i wasnt what you were hoping to discover.
Rather than shiny riches, i was an ancient artifact.
Too frail to be touched, too worn to be understood.
Gone.
Just like that, you disappear.
Who knew smoke clouds held such emotions.
******.
My late night thoughts of you
Abdullah Ayyash Dec 2017
Throwing happiness away
Became addicted to sadness
I climbed and still climbing
I fought all kind of madness
There is no point to keep going
If you just pretend you're careless
I know you have something to say
After all the years of silence
I know the river can smile again
And skies can rain rightness
I know the sun can warm my heart
But only you can make it timeless
