like two banks of the same river
sharing a stream
but never meeting

like two heads on the same pillow
sharing a dream
but always sleeping

like two heads of the same coin
when one shows face
the other will hide

like two beats of the same drum
one heart out of place
one hardened inside

like thoughts on the tip of the tongue
a predictable sentence
never put in to words

like lines on a ******* tightrope
this addictive tension
will never get cut

a spark in the darkness
forming filaments of fire
a centennial light of
ever burning desire
reaching
Don't let me be your dream
  Something you need to achieve

Let me be your nightmare
  Things that keep you up at night

Don't let me be a flower
  You need to take care of

Let me the unexpected sprouts
  You never saw coming

Don't let me be the girl
   You wish to have by your side

Let me be the girl
   You need to have all your life

I'm never something pretty
   Because I am always insane

I don't need you to protect me

I need you to know me
Because I can't be normal let me be me

That smell
Just before a summer storm
Seeps into my eyes
As I am the only person left out in the rain
Under the sky
And the only thing which could clear my mind
Is the smell of lilac as it dies
Just before a summer storm

J
i will
forever
cherish
the moments
I have
with you
even when
you’re
gone.

I wish
you
all the
happiness
you ever
longed for
with
the love
of your
life,

which
should be
me

but

times
have
changed.

I was there
and will
always
be here
for you,

after
four
agonizing
years
have passed

when
you
left me

for reasons
that have to do
with anything
but me.

the essence
of you
is still alive
in me.

I can
literally
feel the
pain
in my
throat,
especially
when I
see you.

I will
always
miss
you
for the
rest
of the air
I breathe.

our love,
it was
never
meant
to
be.

I hate
the fact
that I can
never be
with you,
it’s like we’re
Romeo and Juliet,
Joni and Jimmy,

May and December
you name it.

you saw
through me
and I
to you.

you shared
your sorrow
and I
shared mine.

my whole
existence
once
revolved
around you,

only to hope
for
nothing.

to J,
i still
really
truly
deeply
like you

because
I know
I can never
love you.

I want it to stop
Time is what I need
Too many things going on
I just need a breather

A break that's what I need
Thoughts buzzing
Zooming all over
Never catching just one

Sometimes I just wish my brain
Was a file cabinet
I could easily organize everything
Maybe I wouldn't be going crazy

My mind feels blank
But in reality
It's full
Too full

Maybe that's the reason I'm lazy
My brain works overtime
Not just normal overtime
But severe overtime

I'm trying
Trying my hardest
To just breathe
I wrote this when I was really stressed out and couldn't seem to get anything straight.
Unexpected resurrection of my dabbled dreams by way of unrelented surprise.

Supposed fast forward into the mud pies in which my dreams now lie.

Hands on practice,
For saying goodbye.

Unintelligible groveling of my mind begging for something familiar.


Hello there.
This is your blank slate.
Do with it what you will.


Stale heartsongs frozen in headlights.
Unsure of where to run.

Anywhere but away.

Perhaps,
Ere on the side of caution,
LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

Take a step back,
Onto the fallen floorboards that follow behind.
Fast forward the rewind.

It is time.
