You left your typewriter in my apartment, Straight from The Tortured Poets Department. Your antics made you look so classic, Lost in the world of your semantics. My veins of pitch black ink at a chokehold, As I yearn to begin again with a new fold. At your worst, I was here first. As I enter into evidence, the story of us. I had to recall why I made such a fuss. The allure of you had me drawn to you, Pulled by a siren’s call. Rising from the waves, at the brink of night I left it all. I wonder how you ended up with me, Hatred spread like roots from a twisted tree. I know you inside and out, I don’t know how I survived all those sweet nothings right out your tainted mouth. Remember when you pushed me over a stout? The first cracks in this happy-ever-after, The silence that swallowed my laughter. They say, What’s not broken, don’t fix it. Kintsugi finds beauty in the broken, But the crimson-laced pieces, The caricature of our faces, Bolted into the typewriter’s fresh white pages. Shattered and broken, were left as my only token.

Ink and Aftermath
I wasn't this bad Once a saint Nonetheless, I prefer insolence The ones I fed Sabotaged, betrayed Killed innocence The worst kind of hurt is betrayal I shall watch you thrive on streets Worship most high for mercy You'll be ignored Wish come true Prayers answered Not a punishment It's freedom desired The next time Might be lenient The goodness I possess Never allows evil to thrive Today's moonlight When it gets tough Never reminiscence Live Gates are closed

Today's moonlight
Beneath my grey boots the  reflection in the ripples Conveyed a image of a familiar Turmoil and saddening. With the landscape implausible  And the fate unenviable  it beckoned with its wittering wail the empty promise of a better life.

Reflect
You are the reason can't you see? I am begging you please stop crushing me I am so tired of this I can't remember the last time I woke up feeling ready for the day I must let you go you don't even want to stay This is unhealthy and I know it so why am I always coming back? I thought I was stronger than this but I guess I was wrong I am just a hopeless wreck I think I fell for the idea of you and I find it hard to believe that the things I thought about you were just a beautiful lie, my deepest wishes projecting onto you Now all that's left for me is to cry

Beautiful lie
Years ago, You filled Me with nothing But love Years later, You left me With nothing But hatred.. Yet, I remember you. Even in Hatred, I remember you..

Am I? Am I good enough? Looking at my reflection through this broken mirror. Maybe it's just showing me what I really am on the inside.          I don't know... I never did. Slowly sliding down this brick wall, the coldness cooling down my heated flesh, Curling up into a ball wrapping my arms around me like its a life line.         I mumble to myself "am I? Am I good enough?"  for you to hurt and betray me then I must not be.      But that's ok, I can never say no to you no matter how hard I try. Your touch, your breath, your words... are like poison that runs through my veins.       But its alright because for a moment I felt alive, not anymore, no those days are over. I'm dead inside. It's just an endless void of darkness swirling all around me that I can't seem to get out of.      It's all right, I take last glance at my bleeding wrist and say to myself "I was never good enough anyways" slowly  my vision fades I'm starting to feel free, then...it goes black.

Good Enough?
A product of peace and propaganda God of nothing Hope, but don't expect too much Chewed up and spit out Like a favoured gum Acknowledgment is lacking the knowledge if passion Binded by free chains  Silently screaming I hope there is a lesson learned in all this ******* A vision of greatness Despite arousing statements We man hear then our trouser snake lifts My heart beats fierce when I see your face or hear your name I try not to let it, it just happens, My brain has forgotten But the memory or stored in my loving apparatus Ever picture and caption I remember what happened The better I make you feel the more you ignore me The **** is annoying Patients is a virtue it won't hurt you a little bit Practice the preaching It's still all simple ignorance You just want the reassurance That you're beautiful That you're smart  That you're awesome Or that  Things aren't that bad  Then you ignore us and that  Isn't really a heavenly match Say hi to the sunrise And For mercies' sake Let it die if you knows it's bleeding
