Some days I hear the sound of burning violins.
As I bury my love ones in the cemetery of my mind.
Some days I wish I could cut into my body and pull whatever it is that makes me feel love.
I'll tie it from it's limbs and hang it outside my window.
Watch the rope slowly tatter and tear.
As I hang the rest of my emotions on tree branches.
Cast fire upon it and watch them burn.
Some days I pray,
sometimes I wish.
That we would all die
and live in peace.

"Hey, how are you you doing?"

"I'm doing okay..."

I'm okay because I cannot describe all the different ways I'm feeling apathetic.
And I give you that smile that hides all the hairline fractures in my heart.

Every wonderful longing is swallowed alive,
I'm transcending my emotional capacity to live and love.
All my cheer is shallow and without substance,
Naught more than a cooked marshmallow:
Sweet and crisp without any nourishment.

My wretched self allows me to suffer thus.
Isolated when never alone,
Alone when in true love,
Irreversibly broken,
Choking on my frozen dust.
//On anxiety//

In a constant battle with myself
Visible to anyone
Noticed by few

At times I wonder if I'll ever  level up
I feel like Mario due to these castles

We're all cattle
All just rattle-swinging
Trying to shake the past off...
Just some thoughts.

Some don’t recognize the difference between distance and meaning.
Some don’t appreciate the empty spaces the words are leaving.
Some mistake a lack of knowledge for a lack of worth.
Some diamonds are discarded.
Some pieces of **** are painted gold.
Some lion learn to love the lamb,
Some lamb the lion.
Some thoughts come at night because they’re too afraid to face the light.
Some stand so tall in ruin.
Some things you feel are real.
Some were never really there.
Some need but a minute, so take it; you’re worth it.

hello to my shadow
sewn into my heel
witness to my late night rambles
and emotions in shambles.

i often ponder on what it may wonder
if you were my shadow for a year
how many curse words might you hear,
how many times would you sit
and hear me cry

How I watched them ruin their marriage,
And of course my childhood was lost in soliloquy.
I talked to myself more than others - they found it normal,
And I still continue that habit - nobody cares.
Now I watched myself fail again, again and yet again,
None can even imagine - let alone sensing my pain.

a heart bleeding into rhyme
i'm not alone, these emotions are not just mine

some poets
express not for attention
but in hopes that someone will listen
relate and understand
maybe, possibly hold their hand
let them know that there's more to existence
than what they're feeling in this current instance
someone who realizes that these are not mere words
but an aching soul, crying out to be heard

Watching this drama makes me think of us
What we used to be and what we are now
A beautiful lie and an ugly truth
You hold me and kiss me
Then you tell me we're just friends.
Don't act that way and make me so confused
It's not so easy to blur the lines
between being friends and being lovers.
Don't look at me and make me feel special.
Just tell me, tell me what we are
Don't tell me it's nothing until we have tried
Loosely based on "SOME". Some is a term that means a relationship wherein you don't know if you're friends or lovers.

Excuse me,
May I ask a question?
Please feed my curiosity with information
What are we?
I want to know.

Sometimes, your affection,
Tries to ****** my own decision
But without expectations,
It is lost,
like a quick sensation.

You hate me,
like I'm a monster.
You love me,
like I'm a prince.
Don't you think it's a disaster?
Your feelings, if you come to think of it.

We are labeled as
friends.
We are identified as
lovers.
Our friendship won't bend,
Our love won't be over.

The confusion that I'm feeling
Deep inside,
like a huge bird that's fleeing.
What are we?
I really want to know.
Please let your true feelings show.
I'm really confused.
