i was told
to follow the wave
through every crest and trough
wherever the wave may have taken me
it knew exactly where to go

and in riding my descent
into a crushing happy place
i knew there was more to god
that lovers could not waste

in and around the mid of the night
i fell off the wave, into the darkness
before i met your light

i was lost then i was found
you had lifted my soul from the ground

i was dreaming.

i never realized
how a gaze could drift over
deep into my own
from across a busy rumbling room
and i understood
how the entire universe
could collide
with the blink of an eye

Sometimes I wish I could disappear
They never guessed this would rip me in half,
This is ripping me in half.
But it’s fine,
It’s just fine.
I can’t get high anymore,
I can’t get high because I need more and more and more and it’s never enough. It’s never enough to forget.
It’s never enough to forgive.
I can taste metal in my dreams—
this is all the life I’ll ever need.
I just want you to know
That if someone asked if you were a good person
I would vouch for you
I’d even make out on the couch with you
Like in high school
And I know you’ll do stupid **** sometimes
But just promise you’ll be my fool

I'm so confused
I crave my own demise
But believe I have a purpose
I know I'm loved,
But I don't want it
I chase after highs
To capture escape
Then savor the crash
The pain, my justice
And honestly,
I'll do anything
If it makes my mind
Float away
From the tempest
Within my flesh

You got me high
Then let me fall
I hit the ground
And now
I don't know
If I want
To get back up
Out of my hell

one day
you're outside riding your bike
getting scrapes on your knees
that your mother kisses
after she's bandaged

one day you're running outside with your friends
throwing water balloons
without a care in the world

one day you're sitting in class
praying to go home
and for time to move faster

one day you'll hear your name called out
loud and clear
a stage awaiting your footsteps toward your future

one day it will all be over
appreciate it now
you don't have
as much time
as you think

im a
rowdy
unforgiving
loud
angst filled teen

i'm going to do whatever i want
sounds awful
but

sorry dad
love you mom

you love me less and less each day
hopefully
once i've come home from a party
smelling like *****
and a boys cologne
it will be enough for you to give up on me
helicopter parents breed the sneakiest kids

It is not your fault
Heart is broken by my own
High expectations
It is not love that betrays us but our own expectations

Share nearly enough
Something he longed for
Chocolate high,
creamy and pure,
special and great,
Nibble the lovely sweet taste.
