Loneliness
A word I was given
People
The provider to isolation
Worth
The basis of frustration
Friend
It was the one thing
World
How Death likes to sing
Life
Friend lost but gave
Revenge
All that I crave
Worthless
I am afraid
Truth
What People said
Promise
Friend's scar I bear
Change
I must go there
Mistake
Can it be forgiven?

Cruel experiment.
You have made me blunder
You lured me and poured lust down my throat until
I could not tell my flesh apart from roaring magma.
When you made me feel like I had consumed stardust
And it bubbled within me with a burning passion.
It ravaged me; you ravaged me.
Cruel experiment you torment me still with wise lies.
Oh let me stab my eyes
Till I can see no more the mistakes
you have caused me.
And pull out my lungs
So I can no longer breathe the pungent fumes of my guilt.

The trail of destruction,
The silence of screams,
All of humanity,
Forgotten to dreams.

The silence of life,
That has become no more,
Haunts only the rocks,
And the broken sea floor.

The storms that once ravished,
Humanity’s home,
Now carry fire,
Melting even their stone.

The ground is all scarred,
Where the meadows once grew,
Just a crack in the surface,
Where rivers once drew.

Night and day,
No longer opposed,
The contrast of weather,
No longer imposed.

The passing of time,
Is no longer consistent,
The bonds of its measure,
No longer resistant.

The world is all quiet,
There is nothing to hear it,
Existence is lost,
While nothing can live it.

So the pain has all gone,
The tears have dried,
Humanity lived wrong,
Now the planet has died
I’m just starting out and feedback is welcomed
Each time I shave my face,
I scrutinize with my eyes,
To look for my mistakes,
But my eyes, they fraternize,
With the enemy on my chin,
And so, too late,
When on a date,
I feel them with my fingers

I don't believe in mistakes
even as I watched you walk away
through a flood of tears
but if I did
you were my favorite

All you do is bring me down
Bring me down.
Am I not good enough?

You make the same mistake too
What did I do?
Nobody's perfect, but you.

Take a good look in the mirror
So what do you see...
Me.

I'm losing my mind
Why can't you leave me alone?
You're haunting me.

Now that you're gone
I'm free.
Are you happy now?
I wish I had known who was standing in front of me,
Before I had to watch him leave

I wish I could have gone a bit deeper, trust his intentions,
But when I’m scared all I listen to is my apprehension

I wish I was brave enough to give us a shot
and if you chose to let me go
i know it was just my fault.

And so it goes
Bracing myself for the worst,
going out of my way not to get hurt
Building enormous walls
and then beating myself up for it all

My only hope is that you know
You deserve all the love
I was reluctant to give you

Maybe someday, when we find our hearts to be relieved
from all the things that are troubling them
We can start all over again
far away from this pain

This was my miscalculation. I make many, nothing new.

I hope it’s not too late to make it up to you.

your first mistake was loving someone who doesn't know what love really is. it was giving them the power to ruin you, giving them enough strength to crush your soul with *******,
and even worse, a few words.

your second mistake was telling them how much you need them, how your soul longed for someone like them and how you
couldn't imagine long nights without them.

your third mistake was falling too fast for the idea of who they were, the soft hints of hate you missed in their words and the points of concern you should've noticed.

your fourth mistake was loving them more. loving each little bruise and bone, being convinced each scar had a story, even when it didn't. connecting the freckles on their back into constellations and secretly wishing this would last forever, but no, you can't wish on stars that aren't bright. they were always dark and dull, they looked at you with bored eyes and you were
convinced they were only tired.

they held you with careless, clumsy arms. arms that never shook from holding too tight. you kissed with motionless lips and slept with a body with no soul, but that's not your fault. it's easy to fall for an idea, especially when it has big blue eyes and a heartbeat that sounds like your favourite song.
