She Writes Feb 2022
I cried all night ‘til the sun rose
Still laying in our bed
While across from me your eyes closed
Pretty pictures in your head

Do you see I am drowning?
In a pool of tears for you
All the while you say you love me
And I believe you like a fool

There is no love
In a house built on lies
Each time one slips your tongue
I can see it in your eyes

You love me to death
What am I to do?
I won’t be without you
Build a coffin for two?

tears,
how many more can i spill?
tears,
maybe im better off drowning in them.

when did the butterflies in my stomach
transform
into a nauseating pit of anxiety?
love can be patient and kind but also stressful and cruel.
At least these drops of water are falling all around me,
Instead of from me.
A reminder,
that even those of us who soar above the rest,
can sometimes fall to the ground,
in a drop of full of pain.

i've heard people say
"the one thing worse than sadness is indifference"

the people who say that
haven't spent the late nights
curled up sobbing on the bathroom floor
shuddering with each breath,
quietly screaming for strength
"oh god let me make it through tonight"

people who say that haven't played russian roulette
with themselves
gambling their lives for pieces of hope that may never show

people who say
that indifference is worse than sadness
couldn't be more wrong
i'd rather feel nothing than the weight of what i can't control crushing the life out of me
this night has opened my eyes by the smiths

today I’m gonna make it

getting done with the stuff I left for days or a week, reading a book once again that I excitedly flipped every page, losing a grip on a string of a blue balloon, today I’m gonna spend all of my pennies to my unrequited wish, similarly to a black hole that keeps gnawing my heart; this is what it cost.

Today I’m gonna find out why they are calling us “black swans”. I will make their blood drain, we will dance at them until their eyes glow green. Today I’m gonna make it, but not the girl who cried wolf at night.

When I'm cold,
I need your warmth.
When I'm thirsty,
I need your kiss.
When I'm broken,
I need your soul.
When I'm happy,
I need your laugh.
When I cry,
I need your shoulder.
All I ever need is you.
When I'm alive,
All I need is you.

When we cried,
No tear dried.
Our shirts soaked,
Every feeling poked.

Why?
Was there something,
Anything we could try?
There was only the ending.

It should've took my heart.
It took is all apart.
I'd give anything to have you stay.
Just give me another day!

But we'll grieve instead.
Hope to see you over there.
Then we'll share the bread.
You were just so rare.
A goodbye
