We speak with fire on our tongue
Hoping to find a match in angry looks
Aiming to light up and respark
Hit where we know words hurt most
Lashing out and cashing in
I apologize for feelings for speaking truths
You are proud but  reach out
As a means of saying sorry
Ironic as we know we both
Will do it all again
Strike a match past the parchment
Of our skin, drawing fires
Drawing circles until we burn
Out, out, again and again
Smoldering embers of what could have been
Leaving marks shaped like feelings
Neither of us can make worth of

And so they kept on drawing fires
Past the parchment
Of their skins

I miss easy days and nights we shared
Before dishonesty blew us apart
When we were eachothers best friend
It was much better at the start

Poured my heart into your ears
Told every fear, scar, and tale
Let you see ugly parts
Dirt beneath each fingernail

Hit me up every day that first summer
All your free time spent in my kiss
I could see feelings for me were real
Your company is what I really miss

Never were into dancing
Self-concious, shy, scared someone else might see
When we were out and music came on
Had no problem swaying with me

Would go where we wanted, wild like horses
By your side I felt like royalty
Shackled to your lap, my discovered throne,
Had no crown yet still a queen with your arms around me

Began over a bottle of Smirnoff
You coming to my house
Little did I know in the moment
All the worries and intense feelings you'd rouse

I am not saying I regret taking a chance with you
Can hardly imagine a world otherwise
I exist in the confines of my decisions
You inside labyrinth of lies

Fell for my passiobate spirit
I was still full of life; innocent
My love for the universe has faded since then
You witnessed my sparkle before it went

It was winter as soon as we blinked our eyes
Cracked like ice our hearts were doomed to break
Shards slicing through tender tethers
You apologize for making yet another mistake

Closeness that once was so simple to find
Disappeared when demons took charge
Spent many nights fighting them, and you
Dangling issues powerful and large

Lullabies switched to sad reverie
With every careless word and decision
Can you remember who we were before
Lies put us in this prison?

Loved you more than I loved myself
Loved you far too much for my own good
Gave you all I could, and would do it again
Before we broke we had something pure and good
Friendship ending with two lovers happens all the time, but love ending in friendship? Never.

I love the one who
Hurts me the most, you hurt the
One you love the least
A cruel cycle

what's fun about being hurt
when you didn't invite hurt in the first place
what's sad about being happy
despite your loved ones died recently
what's wrong about smiling to someone you barely even know

you try to be nice to mean people
you try to be mean to nice people
you try to be fair when everything is unfair

you're being unfair, you know?
dunno... btw while I was typing this to my friend's chat box I suddenly received an event from facebook entitled "Depresso: A Mental Health Awareness Session (Limited Seats Only)" I was like *** facebook are you stalking me?

Your smile is unfairly noticeable.
Your voice is disrespectfully low.
Your eyes are rudely easy to get lost in.
And yet, I don't.

Do I?
A different boy this time.
He's been a friend for years,
I can't help but ask myself this.

It's unfair
How when people leave
Everything that reminds you of them
Tends to stay
It's unfair
How I can't just move on
Without dying a little everyday
It's unfair
...
~It's unfair how much I miss you and
it's unfair how much I really shouldn't

(Haven't posted in a long time and probably won't be posting for a time after this week is over so here's the beginning of a 6 page long rant of the most hypocritically written piece of RH's that I've ever read.. Happy Writing ~BM)

It is not the world that is unfair,
but the people are.
The more power they gain,
the greedier they become.
Justice, seems to be just a word.
If only this life were a movie where the heroes would win and the villains would lose within 2 hours.

Love is unfair
Nothing can compare
Nothing can be declare
Love is cruel
Never let a single smile
Without a sea of tears
Love is dull
Never let two soul laugh
Only shattered pieces on their hands
Love is insane
Thinking about yes and no
Enough or too much
Love is tears
Only the moon and the sun
No one cares about the stars and the sky
Love is fake
Never find the time
Never has a courage
Love is cage
Let the fox be free then cacth the fireflies
Losing the light behind the walls
Love is told
Keep to your hearts and tell the orbs
The universe is crying and be hold
Love is dark
Full of sadness and madness
Lust then love
Love is cold
Another beating heart to calm your storm
Another hands to another body
Love is raw
Anger eats you alive
Yelling screaming about how the rainbow never come
Love is deaf
Sounds of the wind brush the grass
The clock has been click
Love is black
Put the smile over the sickness
Happy while you're hurting
Love is burn
See the piece of puzzle with another pieces
Leaking the bright from your eyes
Love is empty
Never in home
Only two hearts breaking the hole
Love is lie
Wait and wait and wait
Should have known from the begining
Love is dumb
Believe in bittersweet promises
Tragically fell so deep
Love is dark
Two hearts beating the same rythm
Can't see the end of it
Love is death
Time is running
Never let the two find the blues
Lost in labryint without a north and south
Sharp glass on the land
Red ink dripping down
Split to the ground and sky
Never enough with one home
Consequenses waiting to come
And love never come
One Thing that will change Everything
From Rainbow into a Storm just need a gasoline and a breathe
Jude May 2018
it is unfair for me to love
when I know I could be gone
in the blink of an eye.
it is unfair to make you love me
when I can’t even bear to live
at all.
Jimmy May 2018
Have you ever been afraid of your own shadow? So afraid that you only wanna be awake when it is dark?

Do you ever shower with the lights off because you hate your own skin and hide from your reflection in the mirror?

Do you cry yourself to sleep wishing that you were created more attractive?

Do you view yourself as worthless?

Do you purposely avoid the light because it's easier to disappear into the darkness?

Do you feel like hitting the restart button on life and pray to become someone else?

I do, unfortunately!
