You are clearly an angel in love with a beast
This room is becoming your life's grave
This is where a ****** will happen
I will **** the only body I want to save

I watched myself make a mess of life
I am scared of what comes next for us
My lungs cannot produce enough air
To apologize for causing this fuss

You are beautiful, outside and within
I wish I could take hurt from your heart
I host dreams of unfound happiness
A chance to someday restart

I am in the icy grip of pain
The devil dwells between our sheets
Heart beating faster, trying to believe
There will be no more miserable defeats

You will always wear an invisible hole
A blank space left carelessly by me
An assault in the form of betrayal
Won't you run from the monster I've become and flee?

I dread the day I cannot wake you up
Feeling helpless, I watch you softly die
I'm not capable of halting the harm, can't keep you safe
Or save you from death, I have no choice but to continue to try
I wish I was better

We can give it
But we cant take it
It helps others
It doesn't help us
We fix everyone else
But we break
We try but break
We try but save others
When it's given it help someone
But it also doesn't help someone
Give it and share it dont keep it back you help someone keep it up even though you may get hurt
Be careful
I didn't ask him. It's because I don't need him.
I don't need him to wipe my tears, I don't need his help
I don't need him to hug me, when I can hug myself
I don't need him to kiss me, nor miss me
I don't need his love, when I can love myself.

im slightly tripping
slowly breaking
losing my grip
to your rope

so i decided to end the pain
and break loose
as i jump

Oh how I dread these sleepless nights
Where my own mind is drunk on its thoughts that prey on my existence.

Thoughts of fear, hate, loneliness, and sorrow.

I fear my existence is too short to live the life i want and i fear my choices have been unwise and with no gain.

I hate the thoughts of hate
but hate provokes me
in ways i never knew.
I hate not knowing my future.
Not even in the slightest
and i hate that its because of my own self.

The thoughts of loneliness are by far the worst because they show my true reality of today. And for tomorrow. 

And sorrow is a lonesome thought that passes by and it scares me to think of how much I hate it.

Its sad to say how much i hate
These sleepless nights
I dont get much sleep anyway

You are self aware that love is your way of saving a life.

Remember the ex who was suicidal
Then the one with father issues
The one with loneliness the size of the sky
The one with a thousand scars on his arm
That one who was an introvert
The one who was an addict
The one who had depression for breakfast
And the one who loved self harm

Who saves you when realize you don't know how to love?
All that was empathy
All that was sympathy

All these boys you wished to save
But never did
All these boys you wished to save
But left in the end
All these boys you wished to save
But killed instead.
This is not a poem in the true sense of the word, but rather expressing feelings and thoughts that haunt my head during this time of my life.. And that is the essence of poetry i believe.

Don’t stop me
From living my life.
Don’t tighten the rope
Don’t hand me the knife.

I’d gladly take it -
I follow your lead.
But nothing comes easier
When both of us bleed.

I can’t be your lifeboat
If I’m the sinking ship.
I can’t keep you from slipping
With too loose a grip.

The darkness surrounds me
As you drift away.
But I’ll be there to guide you
If you lose your way.

i lock it down, can't let that go.
it can't hurt you if you just don't know.
things lose power when you say them out loud.
there are things i can't let go. guess i'm too proud.

Here lies the love we let pass away
I put forth my all, it was not enough for it to stay
My heart is mourning, oh how hard I tried!
Although I struggled to save it, our love still died.
It takes two to make a relationship work

i promise i'll save you
from this life you're made to
take part with these people who
don't know just what they do
we're not made to win
but i'll save you
save you from you
