Within this write, there are things I want to share.
More effectively, I want to express my ideas on things- both good and unfair.
Furthermore, this is for me; I'm not writing in hopes that you care.

It's so filled with miscommunication; if you think so, I don't believe malevolence was the aim
No ****** needed; we weren't meant to be more- this is recent knowledge I've come to gain
We were galaxies- within both of us are constellations we're given the responsibility to contain

Both of us seem electric and maybe that's why it had to be emotional warfare
Or perhaps the currents burned us out and now we're emotionally impaired

A temporary Romeo whose mind manufactures illusions of a ride to imminent fame
Met this Juliet whose spirit had aged and set goals of recognition to obtain
Each tortured artistically, with the unpleasant disposition to over-explain

Somehow, despite the floods of words, coherent expressions were rare
You felt unnecessarily taxed while I felt time with you costed me a steep fare
I'm intimately drained after all the internal details I was pressured to share

Ideas of romantic success were forced by naivety to be entertained
Unhealthily encouraged by all the tiny kisses hesitantly exchanged

Journey by my side to where lust dwells- my innocence used to live there
The angels we once were have been tainted by wasted passions we declared
Leaving us merciless, as ours were never the sensitivities to be spared

There was no shortage of moments in which I doubted any of it was sane
With this write, I hope to prevent the ride from being taken in vain
In this write, I hope at least a few of my conflicted thoughts are made plain..

I try to hide
That I lost my light
It's still inside
Just not in my eyes

My heart is heavy
Along with my soul
This lifestyle of mine
Has taken a toll

I'm always sick
Trying to stay cool
But it just doesn't stick
And I'm being a fool

I'm mostly sad
At odds with my spirit
My intuition says go
But I pretend not to hear it

this emotion i’m feeling for you
why is it taking over me?
it burdens me so much
that it brings me all the way down

why can’t i get rid of this feeling?
why is it so hard to let go?
i’m stuck with the idea of you
but all i want is a peace of mind

what do i do?
i'm so conflicted with my thoughts
i tell myself that its impossible to get you back
yet I’m still hoping for a chance to have you around
even just as a friend
lately i've been feeling very emotional and moody idk why

A bed in the middle of the room
with blankets scrunched up and
shoved in the corner. Dented
pillows scattered like debris
in a field of destruction.
A man in the mirror with
blood shot eyes surrounded
by dark rings. His hands shaking,
his heart racing, and his head is
pounding.

Why aren't you mean to me?
Why do you respond right away?
Why do you care so deeply?
Why do you beg me to stay?

it feels like
two opposing forces meeting halfway
drowning you as it fills you up
until your lungs give out
pouring out all of you
feeding the earth with your anguish like raindrops

it feels like
a searing pain digging into my flesh
fire making love to my skin
there's little time left
until I implode, bursting into flames

then there will be nothing left of the paper girl

there are tangled wires
twisting around my neck
angry sparks of black and grey
blinding my eyes
as I blend into the background
fading further away

it is not darkness
that cloaks this little world
but white skies and open roads
stretching out far and beyond
this state of mental abyss

this is not the place intended for her

at least, that's what I've convinced myself
but fear continues to grow and sweep like skyscrapers
extending towards the oblivion like endless rivers
and it lingers,"maybe this is well-deserved"

there is the pungent smell
of our inevitable death
as our bones fail, bend and break
only the end means us well
because,there really is
nothing more for us to be

that's how it feels

I DONT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING WITH MY LIFE

Heart and mind
said to entwine
but far apart
set those of mine

passion and wisdom
not always hand in hand
following her, my lust's content
forbidding thoughts, I'm held at bay.

her baggage is much
but the suitcase shines so brilliantly
my heart's temptations flare
the mind does not care.

chasing her down
the ever growing hall
practicality keeping me slow
desperation hoping she'll fall.

I find my self struggling
to balance out the two
a decision needs to be made
so many options that are so few.

Torn inside, my yin and yang.
the impossible choice I cannot make
as like always,
it is time for me to wake.

hold my hands
then twist them
kiss my lips
and rip them
hug me close
break my bones
dont tell me no
just make me go
I cant do it alone

Sweet chirps come from the trees
Small warbles of the animals echo around me
As I stare at the grass
Which is stained in scarlet.

Your body body lies still
Frozen in ice.
Your eyes never opening.

I wish I could turn back time
To when you stood by my side
Smiling that goofy grin
With your dimples pinching your cheeks.
Strange thoughts come at the oddest times.
feeling faraway
feet moving forward
and body battling between
clockwise and counterclockwise,
all while my heads runs zig-zags
across highways steeped in traffic.

I counted the scars once. It was easier
than counting the stars, but I tried
that too, tried to get some perspective.

hot chocolate summer, cotton-stuffed
ears and a niggling hum that reminds
me where I am. feeling my clothes
shift against my skin, unnerving.
unsettled, a dislocation, like
my body has moved an
inch away from me,

makes me dizzy.
