I cared far too much,
But it was never enough...
All has gone away.
Bea Oct 2014
We're trying to save each other
trying to put back flickers
trying to mend each other's guts
trying to attach our broken parts
trying to complete each other

but no matter how hard we try
we just can't.

Something temporary
like what we are
could never fix a deep
gaping
fathomless
**pain
// should we keep or stop trying //
Kara Sep 2014
Its usually happens during the day,
I will catch myself laughing,
radiating genuine joy instead of the usual fraudulent happiness.
I'll feel the relief wash over me like a wave,
carrying away every dark thought i've ever had.
Leaving me feeling weightless and euphoric.
And in that brief moment
I can finally see the rays on sunlight
shining through the murkey waters of my mind.
I will be overwhelmed at the concept
to have finally made it.
To finally see the significant beauty of life
through untainted eyes.

Yet at 2am,
when the worlds asleep and i'm all alone.
The only company being
my bedroom walls.
The air will begin to thicken in my lungs,
and I will forget how to breathe.
The silence will scream at me as the empty
walls start to close in.
I will feel the numbness sink in,
and it will consume me,
as I let the tears fall begin to fall.

I will cry for myself,
and i'll cry for everyone I love.
I will cry for the ones who betrayed me,
and for all the people I have betrayed.
I will cry because there is nothing
I can do to stop the feeling of nothingness
and imense sadness hit me
in these early hours.
Tearing away my sanity with it's
claw like nails.


And only in the early hours
will I curse myself for being so niave,
foolish to think I could ever
escape my mind.
To think that I was ever ok.
I have not been diagnosed with dysthymia, i just get sad sometimes.

Whenever I see you,
I always think the city lights
will never be enough to
provide the joy you bring.
The lovely paintings
becomes abstract when you pass by,
You make the painters think,
what art really is.
Am I lucky? I guess.
You loved me.
But sadly,
It was temporary.
Maybe
You were temporary
You'd leave me just the same

Maybe
I could be happy
But my stupidity is to blame

Maybe
It's been too long
And I was a little lonely

Maybe
It was that song
Reminding me of you only

Maybe
Just like me
You needed a little company

Maybe
Together, we'd feel
A little less solitary

Maybe
It wasn't love
I was well aware

Maybe
I had hoped so much
To think that you'd care

Maybe
I knew the answer
For they were all the same

Maybe
I was not wanted
And to you I was just a game

I'm floating,
flying high
to stay close to you
but I know I'll crash

temporary escape
prete
Nding I don't seE** us
growing apart
i'm losing you

i ask you not to drink
you ask mE not to smoke
if you knew why I do
maybe you'D stop asking

scarred from mY past
yOu were my escape
losing yoU means losing myself
i'm not ready yet

He plays with my hair
He holds my hand in the crowd
on the bench where we both sat
squeezes it tightly when we cross streets
because he knows I'm scared
He rubs my shoulder
my back
my spine
He wraps his arm around my waist
around me
He takes pictures of us
smiling
laughing
hugging
and asks "kiss me?"
I licked his cheek and I got that stare
THAT stare
that makes me want
and crave for him more

but everything is temporary
one day I'll wake up and
you're gone
because we're just bored
we just wanna get into this
different kind of fun

I know you're not gonna save me
not even asking for it
You'll damage me
unconsciously

we are temporary

but right now
all I feel is you're my drug--
destructive
and addictive
You'll damage my body
my insides
my mind


you damage me
Akemi Jan 2014
Restless, you lie
Draped in autumn gold
You brush the dirt from your wings
And the leaves from your soul

You trail the night
Fire-flight through your skin
Brightest at the horizon
Distant and brief

Cold fire, wild love
Your passion spills over
Spills out
Cold desire, wild love
Your passion is dire
Count me out
