Lately,
there's been too many conditions
On unconditional love
Too many questions asked
On unexplainable emotions
Too many lonely nights
Under a roof so many sleep
Too many second chances wasted
On a hopeless romantic like me
It's about time I finally left it all
you already knows there too many reasons
But I'll name only 13...
13 seems too little

Writing is odd
The happiest I appear to be
The quicker the ink runs dry
Flipping the scales
The same holds true
So if for some reason, someday
You receive a flurry of new poems
You'll know why
And it isn't difficult to guess what happened

i am utterly depressed
cascading carelessly toward a home i know so well
and with every breath getting closer to the last of mine taken
breaking ground anew inside desiccated places
where few have traveled before me
for i have been the only traveler here
i feel that's the way it's supposed to be

remorselessly remote in an ever expanding universe
we each sit alone in our tiny little pastures
fractured but with a curse for connection
and a penchant for self destruction
generally of ill intention

'tis but a sight upon which we must gaze
one another across a thousand milky ways
with hope that these sights might meet
and greet
so to speak
each others swift heartbeats
soon replete with lust and callous needs

or is it a mirage
my minds own trickery that deceives me
believing so easily what my heart wants to see
such fantasies don't seem to be free
in reality they can be quite costly

perpetually expecting the exact same thing
from the same set of circumstances
when what's happened before has caused such a
guaranteed calamity
seems i must be crazy
and that's ok with me
Oops I must be floating again

Asleep in a vibrant environment
Colorblind in a restless world
Still in the company of emotions
Flying in a city that's frozen
Dying slow
In a world that never stops
Continues to love
In a world that could never appreciate
The no strings attached purity
Of a heart burdened
By loving more than it gets loved

I been lied to..
My life threatened..
Time wasted.
Emotions ignored..
Manipulated into caring.
My mouth is dry
Fingers numb
Yet my heart beat is true
You are too much to bare
Despite your worth
Luckily I only gave my heart to rent.
At this moment as I lament,
I am not tormented .
Though I'm not liberated.
Only time can tell
When I can catch my breath

What is this feeling I get when your name come out on my notification?
My stomach hurts but not in a bad way, it hurts in a way that makes me happy and nervous at the same time.
Can you help me out with what I'm feeling? Is this what you call having a crush or is it love.
I never believed in love.
But are you changing my mind on the utter fact that love does exist?

"Unspoken memories start to gain a little dust.
Dreams have turned into disasters.
Our love has a bit of rust.
WD-40  wont fix our little big mess.
Our hinges are sealed, done and laid to rest.”

The purest emotion was never love
For love is just a facade for hate not yet conceived
For she is the gatekeeper to our demons
For her it is just a game to see
Who can handle the pain
For love isn't real and will surely die
But hate stays forever
Just like my heart you left broken
I hate her more than I ever did love
Except now there's no strings attached
I'm the controller of my own fate
She doesn't play the strings anymore
Orchestra in the background
Commemorating this day of hate
A day no wedding will ever top
Hatred
