I’m leaving,
I mean, what did you expect?

To hit me, time and time again,
then for me to feel respect?

That’s just stupid,
as am I

for not realizing you were sooner,
only now, saying goodbye.

But it’s okay,
because I’ve learnt from my mistake

and you were my biggest one,
and the only I will ever make
I've had enough.

It's a big mistake staring at the ticking clock waiting for an opportunity to knock. Nothing's going to fall at your door. So find something worth fighting for. When you realize success in life is not defined by your wealth, you can begin the journey toward the pursuit of happiness that will ultimately better your health. On this journey, there may be times when your heart may break and the pain may feel like it's too much to take. But if you can find the strength to carry on, you'll find the things you can do will be remembered long after you're gone

Sometimes, you're gonna make mistakes.
Sometimes, you're gonna say the wrong thing.
But in time, you'll learn that doesn't mean you've done something wrong.
Sometimes, you're gonna crash and burn.
But sometimes, that's the only way we learn.
Now that you've lived and learned, you can move on.
So don't be afraid when you fall.
Go ahead, break down your walls.
You're gonna see beauty you never knew was there before.
Go on, hold your head high.
Jump up, reach for the sky.
And remember
Sometimes, there will be days nothing turns out right.
But someday, everything will be alright.

Sedate me with your stare
Bring me high above the clouds.
Your touch is exhilarating;
In the cover of darkness our hearts meet;
Our fingers, our thighs;
A secret is burgeoning.

You keep on stealing from me.
Your glances.
Stop; don't stop. Take it all.
My doors are unlocked.
But what does it all mean?

In my mind I rest my head,
On your shoulders;
My hands are reaching out to you
Yet our hearts never felt so far away.

Can I tell you my secret?
Your hands are rough,
But I want it around mine.
Do our lips fit like puzzles do?
Come on, lets fan the flames,
Of this candlelit romance.

Is it really you I'm meeting in the dark?

My head keeps hitting the window;
Potholes on the road.
Another day. Another dream.
The airwaves between us are silent.
Am I a fool for honing in on your signals?

It's so exciting, my one-sided romance.
I was preparing myself to hear this news.
Its okay. All I can do now is laugh.
I wonder when I'll feel like this again.

I tried so hard to make you notice me, see me in a different light.
I knew we were complete opposites,
And you didn’t feel the same way,
But I swear there were times where you made me question if that’s what friends were supposed to say.
I made one small mistake and like always, there’s a consequence to pay.
You don’t want to be friends anymore, you feel betrayed and hurt.
I would never want you to feel this way.
Crying over you would be silly, so instead I stay quiet with the pain in my chest and the numbness in my mind.
You were never the best to me and there were times I thought you took advantage of my kindness, but that ended up being my downfall, how ironic.
There’s so many memories of you in my phone, In my life, and I can’t help but look and think.
Whether i like it or not, you have affected my whole life. I look at things and places with you in my mind.
How will I manage to pretend we were never anything when we see each other at work? Strangers to close friends to strangers again? Is this the cycle that marks our end?
I never wanted it to end.
At least now you see me in a different light, but it’s the one i tried to avoid.

Awaking from my self-induced daze
I wasn’t careful
Too much wine
Not enough food
Not enough water
And to my stupid surprise
My head aches
I feel ill
I just want to lay in bed
Part of me is begging not to do it again
But another is begging for more
Ellie Grace Mar 2020
Is it too much to ask to want to feel again
to care about my own life
I am tired of viewing my body as an object
my existence as a nuisance
a scourge that needs to be wiped out
a mistake to erase
Nico Mar 2020
I think I was mistaken.
It felt like the next step but I wonder
if "it" is all there is.
I love you and I know I was mistaken,
I am not in love with you.
Feelings are complicated, half of the time I'm not sure of my own.
