i dont think its healthy
to be at constant worry if im gonna lose you
i dont think its healthy
to only listen to the music that you like
no, i dont think its ******* healthy
to be lying in my yard looking at the stars in complete awe
but wishing i could be staring at you instead
my life is spiraling out of control and poems keep getting worse

i wanna die
-- Oct 2016
i don’t want to hold you if you won’t hold back
don’t want to run my fingers across the skin of your back and
don’t want to whisper that i love you in your ear
(but i do love you)
because I’ve run the love out of you
(and now i can’t real it back in)

You are beautiful.
Every part of you.
Even your impossible anger flourishing through those once soft sultry eyes.

I've seen silent pools of 'sorry' and 'let's forget about it's leave your tear ducts and fall onto me cheeks.
As lightweight as they are I feel them. So much more abounding with grief and true regret.

Your words had stung me before and like the boy in that movie where he kicked the nest-I was. Attacked before but now it's much worse.

The bee stings were no longer puncturing needles but silver knives in my wolverine body cutting deep in my organs, vital or not they live while my howling soul dies in unforgiving puddles of shedding fur made of crushed promises- you will never hurt me.

It's what you said and yet those wrists-tight with anger in your veins-those palms. Engulfed with the flame of the hostility you dry swallowed unwillingly along with those pink pills now coursing through your nerves.

On my bare skin those fingertips- once gently kissing my broken woman hood the same finger tips that threaded shards of broken glass together as hard as it may sound you made it happen and now threading needles turn to swords breaking thread and laying down the shear, intense, excruciating hate and I know.

I know that the holes in your heart were filled by the smell of this garden you've managed after planting in this body after others took the sunlight and poisoned the rain and drenched them with laborious despondent trickles becoming tsunamis in this heart of mine.

In this very minute I thought I was important. Like a vital *****. But how could I be so crucial to you when you made me feel so minuscule but I stay maybe not close but always.

For now let me bleed out this strenuous hate so that I can come back stronger.

Get rid of those demons you hold so dearly in your head- jealousy, being your best companion, should not be your best man at our wedding in fireflies and heartstrings of matrimony - keep me safe. Safe from your demons.

And keep me safe, then and only then, may you keep
me.
This would have made a better slam poem but oh well. Enjoy. (:

These tears have since turned red
From the wounds I'm bleeding out from
Tried telling someone
Those things you keep deep inside?
~
Tried telling someone
You dont belong in this world?

Tried telling someone
Being you, isn't a good thing?

**They'll never understand...?
I don't wanna feel this miserable beneath the happiness

I feel like I lost,
You won.
I was winning,
What happened?
I was finally in control,
or was I?
It's all a hoax,
because I'm confused.
I'm making everything up,
everything does't have to be this confusing.
It's me.
I am the problem.
The only way to fix that,
is to have me go.
Everyone would be better off,
In the end at least.
I know it,
I'm sure.
I ask myself,
Why did I write this poem?
Do I actually feel this way?
I shouldn't.
But then why am I saying it?
When I write poetry,
It is my way to vent.
My way to just let things out,
I didn't know i had bottled up inside me.
why is it always so sad?
I make it to be that way,
and I don't know why.
I don't know how to stop either.
It is something that helps me,
but I don't know why.
This time, writing poems doesn't seem to do the trick,
Is this it?
Am I finally worn enough to be broken to no repair?
I guess my bio was right except for one thing.
I am broken, but most wouldn't say in a good way.

I'm such a liar.
But you don't need
More stress on your
Already full plate.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I've had enough madness,
**Wish my hellish days were through.
I mean... I just... I only... I... I'm sorry...

Laying it all out on the line
What've I got to lose?
Maybe we were a flawed design
But I'd have died for you

The ending was entirely my fault
That much I can admit
But was it really so easy for you
To throw me to the pit?

There I go again
Unintentionally shifting the blame
I'm half into a bottle of liquor
Calling out your name

Now things are getting hazy
But one thing remains clear
I'd give anything && everything
For once more to hold you dear

I still remember the first time we spoke
As if it were just last week
Even from the very start
I knew you'd be the death of me

i feel as if though i've been in the dark for awhile now,

and it's taking forever for the sun to rise,

i'm fighting all of these nightmares, fears, stress, and etc.

mr. sun, where are you?

i need to see you rise so i can too.
this is not a poem but i hope you enjoy/relate to this somehow.
