I almost texted you back, and then I did. I almost listened to what others told me, and then I did. I almost kept picking up the phone and then I did. I almost let the calls get longer, and then I did. I almost let it go to far, and then I did. I almost let everything eat me alive. I almost let the guilt consume me, I almost had the thought of lines on my body I almost had the burning desire of failure to just prove my lies and then it all happened. I let the lie spill out, a ghost of what I had never truly felt, trying to secure the demons in your mind while I left quicker than life could take away the gasping and drowning memories of innocent childhood. I almost let the lie out. Then I said "I still love you".

I Almost
I asked myself tonight… Am I lost, or am I a ghost? Walking through these city lights that don’t feel like home no more. People talk with typing hands, not eyes, not hearts, not truth. Everyone’s locked inside a phone, and I got no one to talk to. Feels like the world’s on mute, every soul on flight mode— And I’m just standing here with a heart that’s stuck on loud. I’m a ghost in the crowd, fading out, fading out— Searching for love in a world where love is just a filter now. I’m a heartbeat too real for a world that’s shut down— Tell me, who do I trust when every “love” is just online and nothing’s real… nothing’s real anymore? I tried finding love online, but every “forever” breaks by dawn. Sweet words come and go like lies, leaving echoes when they’re gone. Feels like everyone’s controlled by a world inside their screens— And I’m the only one left here still searching for something clean. I’m a ghost in the crowd, fading out, fading out— Searching for love in a world where love is just a filter now. I’m a heartbeat too real for a world that’s shut down— Tell me, who do I trust when every “love” is just online and nothing’s real… nothing’s real anymore?

Ghost in the Crowd 👻🌕
Because of you, I went into depression Maybe I made a bad impression But I genuinely cared While you only pretended! Because of you, I went into depression You left me alone After hurting my feelings to the core To me, were you really dear Unfortunately, not the other way round To you, NOTHING was our bond!! Because of you, I went into depression My trust being my bane You provided me wrong advice But what was worse Was the fact That it was incomplete You only pointed out my faults Without offering any solutions!! Because of you, I went into depression But am I not human? I CAN make mistakes And I did make a lot of improvements But you never noticed In fact, you almost disappeared!! Because of you, I went into depression But I'm not truly alone Jesus is on my side He knows you've taken me for a ride Anyway, you I'll forgive But you're incapable of love And by that, I mean TRUE, UNCONDITIONAL love I'll come back stronger Meanwhile, our relationship is OVER Goodbye and good luck Enjoy your life in New York While I don't give a ****

Because Of You, I Went Into Depression
Code red, code red— You should know it’s lies i fed, when i say I like you, i am only lonely and blue. Believe me at your own risk, if i did like you, how’d write you poetry. You just have to trust me, I’m attracted to your body. Maybe, your sense of art too, the tone of voice, nothing more.

I know my friends don't like you But they will never know That I'm actually dating you In my own love show I hate to stick to hiding Hiding in the shadows of My one and only, my fake love Cause it's all in my head When my mind is asleep You're like a useless secret That I'm willing to keep

Love show
Boy in love so funny, Fallen by seeing, Liking without knowing, Saying without care nor think, Shouting "love" into a void without feelings, Spreading lies like nothing, Made trust never exist Boy in love so funny, Fall for look never the soul, Don't laugh nor play, Never feel ridiculously a fool, Never been in a lovesick mess, Oh boy, you're so funny.

[ Not a real hug ]
In shadows dark, a tale I shall weave, Of a girl whose heart, you must not believe. With lips like poison, her words cut deep, A siren of love, luring hearts to weep. She wore a mask of innocence and grace, But beneath it all, a treacherous embrace. Her touch was fire, consuming and wild, Leaving shattered souls, broken and beguiled. She whispered promises, like whispers in the wind, But they were but illusions, meant to rescind. Her love was a game, a dangerous charade, Leaving hearts ravaged, like a shipwrecked brigade. Beware the deceitful girl, a master of disguise, With a heart of ice, hiding behind her lies. She weaves her web with skillful precision, Leaving behind a trail of heartbreak and derision. So guard your heart, my friend, with utmost care, For the deceitful girl's love is not fair. Seek a love that's honest, true and kind, And leave the deceitful girl's illusion behind. -c9fm

A Deceitful Girl in Love
If you start questioning it, she will too, and then she'll be grateful that you made her stop and think about it all because she'll realize you were never what she wanted. But what it'll take you a while to realize is she wasn't what you wanted either.

I was what you wanted
You never loved me; you loved the idea of me. The idea of having me as yours, as someone pretty to say "I love you," as someone who was always there to talk to, to complain to. Someone to think of. But now that you have her, you don't need me. You never needed me. You needed someone, anyone, but I wasn't going to let that someone be me. You never loved me; you loved the idea of me. And now you love her. (the idea of her)

don’t fall for the man who looks at you like an object don’t fall for the man who can’t respect your boundaries don’t think highly of the man who blackmails you into things you don’t wanna do don’t fall for the man who’s spitefully erasing your name don’t fall for the man who “never loved you anyway” don’t fall for the man who twists your words in hopes of your own insanity don’t you dare stumble for the man who will replace you in five days don’t fall for the man who calls you pretty but not smart or kind or his best friend don’t fall for the man who acts poised and proper unless he’s alone with you and don’t you dare fall for the man who doesn’t fall for you but wants you to lick his wounds and bring you home to his parents so you can be the centerpiece on his set table while you are dying inside don’t you dare fall for him don’t you dare

The Idea of it
This isn't the way it was supposed to be. Things started out so perfectly. We were so happy, our future set in stone. Never would I imagine myself alone. But time after time, you broke my trust. What I thought was love, you felt as lust. You locked up my heart but gave her the key. I watch as you now love her and not me. I should have known it was too good to be true, But yet here I am, crying over you. Now I am left heart-broken and betrayed. How stupid I was to think you would stay. You shared love with her, knowing I was the cost, And I realize now that all hope is lost.

Am I in love or am I convincing myself? I would be a fool to be either.

Love. It introduced itself Its personality was charming Its character was fun and great Overall it was sweet They fell for it It was fake It was an imposter The real one went everywhere with its brother Commitment and its sister Loyalty In the end They fell with it It only needed a partner in crime

They fell for it
i struggle to believe anyone could love me, because she would only return my sentiment in texts at 3am and on intoxicated nights where all i was, was a body for her to hold and to plant kisses on high; come morning time she would’ve rolled over, eyes closed, faced away. im glad i never told her i loved her because it would’ve been a half truth a confession stained with bitter melancholy hr.

3am texts
More fickle than the seasons fragile like thawing ice attached with a firm grip clutching like a baby’s hand. Desperate but never dangerous susceptible yet not defenceless acquiescent, though a fool. They are the simpleton’s that embrace counterfeit fables, illusions of promise And at the end that makes them break

You said you wanted to be an actor Well you got the part You were playing your character so well you made me think you actually loved me But you didn't, it was all just scene one right? Play rehearsal to you I guess because you never cared about, me never loved me i’m nothing to you just a temporary setback when she’s not there but even then I don’t exist to you anymore I’m nothing but a background character You don’t even look me anymore and it hurts me to hear that everything go so good between you and her I want to break down and cry on the spot But that’s not in the script is it? It doesn't matter to you, you only see her I’m fading into the background as I watch the rest of the play you never cared it was just one scene in the whole grand play I want it all to stop I can’t handle this anymore I want to yell cut and end this agony It all hurts way too much The plays over and done with I fell for someone who wasn’t even real I lost all feeling of reality after that When the curtains closed and it was all said and done you took a piece of me with you Now i’m left here with part of myself missing Part that I’m never getting back I feel so ******* broken I don’t want my life anymore, give the role to someone else… and even after all the **** that happened throughout this stupid play I still love you…

I'm better off when I'm dead Want a bullet through my head Paint the floor deep dark red "I love you" that's what she said Hurt is all she left me with I'm better off when I'm dead
