When you say those look like they're healing up nicely I did those in December They've been fully healed for months Yet they're still red and potent on my skin You didn't need to wait a week to see them They've been fully healed for months But if you were to ask me to lift up my shirt Or pull up my pant leg, I think you'd be in for somewhat of a shock Since those pulsating wounds, Won't be healed for days Nor hours nor months nor even a full year Say that they're deep Say that they're bad Say that they're not superifical Say that they're something to worry about Say that they mean something more than cutting.

Healing Up Nicely
i'll run my fingers through your hair and it will fall apart. you'll run yours through mine, for all i care, but it was over from the start. your scent is oddly comforting, i think, as i glance down at your pale legs but the look in your eye, telling me everything. Don't be someone who begs me for love at three in the morning i'm probably watching lesbian **** when you talk, i always find myself yawning. and i guess, your heart will be torn into tiny pieces. it's completely my fault that our conversations will soon cease i love you as much as i love salt.

the price of salt
you know- i'd catch your blood, every drop before it hits the ground and you can have your pain pool in my cupped hands you know, i could take it for you since you deserve so much better than me

not even an admission
How strange For the chemical composition of my brain to be so dependent upon the countenance of someone who doesn’t even know my name My name is my identity I am certain I know the ingredients of your soul, and yet to not know my name is almost as if you do not acknowledge the existence of mine A stranger who can bypass every measure engineered to keep me stable I feel like an imbecile, giving a thief the key to break into my house Except it is self-inflicted You are not a thief —you never asked to be let in So why am I falling apart? It’s a game A cruel game, really A race to indifference, except no one is running beside me And I am above ground If I stopped I would certainly fall to my death I wish to love you out loud, with all of my being But that’s weird So instead I will look for you in every room I enter I will wait to see you knit your brows in that adorable way you do when someone says something that confounds you I will hold my breath until you do something that reminds me why I fell in love with you And my love will crescendo with every endearing action I will timetable my stares And pray you are doing the same But you are not. I see you and my longing deepens I feel my love pour into me like crimson out of a crystal decanter Meanwhile, is your love diminishing? When you smile, I yearn for your soul When I smile, do you wish I were dead? Or worse…do you feel nothing at all? I want to trace the map of your idiosyncrasies ‘X’ marks the spot is my love to the power of infinity I crave the intimacy of understanding on a cellular level I want to lay on your chest and feel your heartbeat and know that you are real and I am real and my love was justified all along Even when I had no clear indication you were anything but a projection of my overzealous mind I think you looked at me But it was in a public setting so I cannot be certain In a room of so many souls, how can I be sure it is mine you are speculating about What do I do with the earth-shattering possibility that you are not? Moments like these are worse than rejection because they give me hope I find I must balance the hope blossoming in my chest in one hand with the weight of reality in the other But my heart is in my hand So one of them has to give If only you’d take it from me I am ashamed Do others feel things so deeply Or is it just I, meandering with this bottomless well of love in me With no one to draw from me and lighten my load Sometimes my love takes a hold of me and wraps around me so tightly, my vision stars Have you noticed? I feel it leaking out of my orifices Ultimately, I will wait Perched at the rock within my mind And when you walk in and illuminate everyone and everything I will hope your light reaches me How sad The pain of yearning for a light that will never shine on me

Those moments in life That staccato heart beat An anxious mind and the release of sleep The tightness of a chest bound by woe Picks up the phone one last time

Definition of unrequited
Surrounded by a solid foundation Not certain if it's for my protection Not certain if it's for your protection All these questions and blames games But you never questioned or held blame for the one you selected to be your president It's easier to just stroll through a phone and bicker about nonimportant messages Don't save her. She doesn't wanna be saved! He ain't a good teacher. Why does he get a raise!? So, why you are dealing with the same life lesson?! **** everything I have to say, unless it's relevant I could put emphasis on that, but instead of f***ing this whole chain up rather remain celibate. Everywhere I turn. Somebody is trying to  f*** me. Without the **** I'm not the begging type but "fool, give me a break" PLEASE. I can be calming and surprising like the summer time breeze Keep memories in heart company, when feeling unease The feeling which is oh so lonely Have you remembering talks of nostalgia with your parents, like when you first discussed "The Birds and Bees." Master these elements, summoning great power of one's eternal beyond to receive grace from deities. Making sure all the contacts are informed and balanced, remaining as one in connection regardless of location. Which should've been incoperated through our history! I been on this for centuries! You call it business structure. I call it perfect symmetry! I'm just another brother, which as much love to give as a grateful mother in a world of living color.... We still burning each other alive. Just for others to shine like a diamond in the night, oh so bright. We got idiots roaming around making profit and we are nothing more than discarded objects Last time I check. You can put a price on a ring. You can't put a price on a wife? Yet I am the problem?? So f*** my life right??

Pills on the table. Fallen over. Not up straight. A glass of water, half full... or is it half empty? Lying in bed, my chest aches, the weight of the **** of the fear of the.... Where do I go from here? Feel sick, that twisted stomach, gut up in throat, Knowing that there's something to say, something to hear, Wanting to speak out, wanting to say wanting to.... Deep breathe, 1...2...3...1...2... Can't get to three, minds wanderin' again and again and again and.... Why do we find ourself here again... and... again... and again.... Stop. Breathe. Listen. Stop breathe listen stopbreathlisten sopibrethisten..... Calm... calm... calm.... I can't I cant' Why can't I? It's too much and I can't. I beg of you, I say I can't........ Where did my mind go today? Where didn't my mind go today? Why did my mind go today? When will it come back? It's easy, just think. Remember. The worst is over... but why does this seem worse? Why does this seem more difficult? Is it because it's someone I loved? Because it's someone who I thought loved me... for a time? Is it because it happened under my nose, I didn't realise? Is it because it's so insidious and the fear that stays in my chest, that's keeping me awake at night is real and I feel that I know the answer, the truth but I fear it? (Or is it because it wasn't the only time?) Let me let you in on a secret, the clowns that laugh in my head. Yes... That laugh the eyes that float around. The little girl singing those horror songs. Quiet but loud, the laughing, The shouting, The screaming, The screaming, THE SCREAMING.... It's not real. Or is it? No, I'm sure it's not!!! It's definitely not, at leastI can tell the difference between whats real and what not real. Right. Thats what matters right? Thats what matters right? Thats what...... At least the **** doesn't affect me.

Wal-Mart at 12 a.m. is almost eerie. Silent save the occasional shopper or manager, Perhaps following you to ensure you don't do anything foolish. Picking out the dumbest things just because you need to smile. Playing with your friend in the toys, letting go for once, Just to be chased away by management. Losing one of the squad and looking for her. Wandering over to the makeup, glancing at the camera, Then picking out what you want and pocketing it an aisle over. Going to the arcade and winning for once. It's not a secret, you needed a win, Plus your little sibling will love the new stuffed toy. Seeing a random family member. Rushing away as to remain unseen, Knowing if your parents find out you will be dead. The general feeling of disassociated contentedness when you finally leave. You won't remember half of what happened anyway, But who cares. Shopping at night is the best.

Night Shopping
The way he walks His smile And his complete look. Drives me absolutely nuts. The way you turn red, The way you blush. I have to know, do you ever think of me too? I think I've caught you staring across the room. But it's hard to tell, with all these rules and layers built up. Please give me a sign, if you see a spark in me, if there could ever be an us. As of right now, to you; I'm just another employee. And To all reading this, Wish me luck. I have my heart wrapped around something forbidden My eyes set on a cloud I can see but not touch. I can't help it, mister. you are the one I adore. The one I yearn to touch. I do hope, this won't become too much.
