In pain.

You broke my heart baby boy.
What did you do that?
You came to me, walked into my life so, broken, lost, and scared.
Only to leave me feeling the same, Not sane. Insane thanks to you.
****** me, not physically, but emotionally. All because...
She hurt you, mistreated you, took you for granted , I guess you could say she took advantage.
Hurt me in every single way, Only in pain because you left me this way.
I'm not mad at you, I don't hate you. This isn't about you.
This is about the pain I am in because of your actions.
Because I let pain enter me.
Thinking, hoping, and praying it was just a visit. Only to find it moving in, staying, and planting itself in me. Trying to kick it out only made it angry.
Growing thorns, I swear it hurts when I try letting the thought of you go.
Suffocating in heartbreak. Like my lungs crave that feeling you once gave me, when I saw you, took my breath away, in a good way.
Lovely baby boy. Slick with your words, not with your actions. I can't believe I ever found you and your ugly heart attractive.

I just wish the pain would leave. I miss you, But then I don't. You broke my heart,

Surround Sound

These feelings are so loud
I cannot hear anything else.
Determined to drown them out,
I dare you
to do your damnedest
to demolish my eardrums
with decibels meant to devastate.
I want to be crushed
by a falling wall
of bone-breaking,
soul-shaking
sound,
please,
surround me
with suffocating blankets
of sonic booms.

Hush hush don't tell Her

Frozen and numb,
Unable to comprehend the next move,
Everything moves in slow motion.

Suffocating on air,
Words clogged up, unable to break free.

Her elegant hair sprawled across,
The surface of my thigh.
She had such a gentle smile.
Oh, how at peace she was.

As each breath of hers was precise,
My was ragged and silent,
As I kept my gaze straight but my thigh burned.

As her muscles were relaxed,
My spasmed and tensed, like her violins strings.

I was hyper-aware, senses buzzing,
As she allowed hers to be silent.
She was in a delightful harmony,
While I yearned for the thing that came to her so easily.

Everything hurt and I was drowning,
Her solid form was more of an anchor,
To help me sink in my own sea.

I was caged, and she felt like debris blocking me in.

Her touch was overwhelming, though she never knew this,
So hush hush, don’t tell her,
Despite you wanting to beg with tears streaming down,
You keep yourself restrained even though your disintegrating.

Don't ruin the moment, because she is having a grand time, and you wouldn't want to be cruel or ruin it for her, now would you?

My cup of Universe

"Write a poem for us to understand".

Why would I?
My poem's my heart and my ribs,
The galaxy scarf that's been strangling me for years;
My lover and companion,
My cup of tea that I enjoy in while hating it.

I enjoy my smooth ride in my imagination,
Where I do things I want to do here,
But which my mind itself does not let me do.
Here.

It's my sacred temple and the saviour who the temple is for.

Why do you have a need to understand it?
I'm the one jealously holding it,
Yet trembling to explain it.

My daily dose of galaxy.

My daily dose of hedonism.

Daily dose of suffocating.

Every day, closer to death, the closest to madness.

Welcome to the cup of my universe.
Enjoy it and hate it.

Explain if you can.
;)

Drowning

Life.
Interactions with the world
My thoughts flowing freely out into my environment,
birds’ songs fill my ears as time begins to cease.
The colors of the sunset mix with my thoughts,
my possessions fill the air—
Darkness.
Cold as the pavement I landed on
Shades of black and grey on the backs of my eyelids
My body mechanically rising and falling
The constant rhythm of my pulse,
like the ticking of a clock,
my ears pound with this paralyzing sound.
They speak to me telling me that it’s okay
But I can only think
As I sink into the depths of myself
Into the dark and accepting waters of my subconscious—
Drowning.

Sun Entirely

Inhaling cigarette smoke is like inhaling the sun entirely
It is like solar flares are shooting down your throat into to your heavy chest
But it is worth the pain that it gives when you quickly exhale the curling smoke into the streetlamp lit night as your fingers tremble and you breathe in crystal clear air
It is a sense of comfort
It is like love
Because love can burn your being and consume your flesh and your eyes
But love can calm your soul and revive your sore lungs
from that time you sobbed because of when he...
When she...
When they...
When life...
Love is like cigarette smoke
It can float and wisp around you and bring you peace
but it can suffocate you until you can no longer breathe.

10

I am a rose garden, planted on the deepest of fault lines.
I am full of soft petals protected by sharp thorns.
I am radiantly dark and twisted like a tornado. Ripping up everything in sight just to settle to a dull breeze and a light drizzle of rain
I am a wild fire and you are a room that yields no air.
Suffocating me. Draining me of my power

You are slowly killing me.

Suffocating in Sympathy

You twinkling eyes stare me down
Crying invisible tears of pity
You place your fading hand in mine
This is sympathy
I can't control my urge to flea
Your bleeding pupils hounding me
All I want is to escape
To a monochrome normality
That soft smile sickens me
I need fresh air
Away from concerned faces
Though they care
I can't help but feel
I am lesser

I'm isolated in this eggshell field
A barren land filled with people
They wield their swords of saviour
Dancing round my every sniffle
I feel chained down by their love
Suffocated by every fleeting word
Drowning in the sound of sympathy
I'd give anything to take back the day
That they found that I'm
Not quite okay because
They never listen now
When I say that
I am

blue haze

You stand by me,
On my darkest days,
Even when I'm trapped,
In a blue haze,
So I want to show you,
What you mean to me,
Open up your eyes,
and make you see,
That I want you closer,
More and more each day,
And I know it seems,
Like I'm pushing you away,
How can I make you see,
When I can't even meet your gaze,
I always lose myself,
Suffocating in the blue haze.

Judger.

Killing each other by expectations.
Or suffocating each other by imprresing?
Hands down to those who lived with this mad world full of judging.
