Look at all of you.
Drunk, out of your senses.
Running along with impulse,
Drowning in tears of sorrow.

But from all of them, you repell me.
You tease for a kiss, in such state.
You triggered something in me.
Not love; thats fake; this isnt!

The rage, the anger, the thirst.
Thirst for your suffering.
You pushed my boundaries.
Boundaries I never knew I could break.

But I am guilty?
You contradict yourself!
You want a future, yet want to die.
Saying that others must deal with their ****.
Why dont you?
Youre as sad and foolish as them.

You wanted to be someones muse.
There you go.
My writing is for you.
My rage is for you.

Things have changed,
Perspectives altered.
The tide has turned;
But not in your favour.

Our Relationship is so stupid
You look like a zombie
You're 6'4", barely 150 lbs
Medically speaking, that's just gross.
My body's all sharp bones,  nowhere soft left
Sometimes I can tell you've been drinking when you pick me up
Sometimes I can't
Sometimes you bring me to parties where there's a pile of *******
the size of a dinner plate
right on the coffee table
Sometimes I make you buy me *****

We're so stupid
We just sit on the couch
and kiss
and watch movies written for kids
talking about politics as if we could change ****
sharing a blanket as if we were in love

You're just so stupid
because you think I'm funny when I bomb an open mic
and you tell me you love me when my tics keep me up at night
and you kiss my fingertips when they bleed from my bites
I can't control my body
But you're so stupd
that you still love it

We're that couple that got in a fight in the cub parking lot at midnight
The couple that made out in your Toyota corolla by the water tower
The couple that ruins every party
The couple that makes out with others in front of each other
Just to see that spark of jealousy
We're that couple that everyone tells to break up
but we don't

But I'm pretty stupid too
because I love you when you can't sit still
When you stop taking your medication
When your head aches from withdrawal
I still love to lay beside you in bed
the curtains drawn to keep out the light at 3 in the afternoon
When the doctor's say it's ADHD but you say it's a sparkling personality
when the voices in your head make you want to die
I still love you
One.
I tried to stay away.
You were?
Yes, but I couldn’t do it.
Can’t you see you’re all that I want?

Two.
I’m trying to stay away.
And, I think I can finally do it.
I had been a fool,
Now that I got your clue.

I've had this feeling lately, a feeling of not knowing what I'm doing, but no longer caring. Feels like the wild, full of danger and fear. Stupidity and stumbling.
Feel as though I'm a child all over again.
So much to be afraid of, but oh, so much to see.
To explore.

Good for you for leaving me.
Without a moments hesitation.

Good for you for moving on.
Without a second thought.

Good for you to consider yourself,
even when I was there.

Good for you to ignore me,
when I gave you everything and anything I could spare.

Good for you to do what's best,
even when it crushed me.

Good for me now to say goodbye,
Because I'm better off without you.
I care,
But sometimes I wish I didn't...
I wish I didn't know how cruel the world is,
But I do.
The more I know,
The more I hate people around me,
Hate on people who don't even try to understand,
To see,
To care,
But I also envy them,
I remember how much easier being selfish is,
When you simply do not know better...

Can I proceed perfectly, both empathically and practically?
Am I too weak?
Too selfish to surrender to my ethics and moral?
Will my life be better if I suppress what I've learned, ignore my inner voice and follow blindly the path ahead, no extra thoughts or worries?
Just living, simply being, following instincts that's been taught upon us,
Because that's how it's meant to be,
Even when it feels as ****** up as can be,
When everything inside you screams it's wrong,
But your selfish mind pulls you in,
Convinces you to continue to sin,
It's like you'll never win,
Because what's comfortable is safe,
What's safe is comfortable,
So you try to forget as good as you can,
To continue to live for you,
Not for them.
