what a sick coincidence some cruel ******* joke crafted by the god he so desperately believes in why would he want me when he has two daughters one he’s molding into everything i refuse to become the other still clings to his shadow like it’ll keep her warm telling me to be more forgiving as if he ever earned a single ounce of grace where was he when i needed a father not a ghost with loud opinions he disappeared then returned acting like he deserved applause for showing up late to a life he walked out on you don’t get to pick which parts of me you accept and still try and call it love i’m done pretending this day holds any weight that it means anything more than a simple **** you i made it without you and that is the only thing worth celebrating

fatherless on fathers day
Maybe it’s time to give up on love, at least for now. She’s gone for good, and I’m still here, clinging to the ghost of her warmth, pretending it’s real. I tried to be soft, sweet, gentle enough to steady her trembling. I was the lover boy who left the light on just in case she came back, writing poems deep into insomnia-soaked nights, memorizing her laughter like it was something sacred. And all of it for nothing. Now I sit among the dust of who we used to be, in a bed that feels too big for my grief. I gave everything, again and again, like a fool believing that loving harder might make her stay. I never gave up, not after the breakups, not after the heartbreak, not even after the lies, because love is something you’re not supposed to give up on. Not like she did. Each time, I hoped she’d be the one who stayed. But they always go. I’m exhausted. Tired of showing my wounds to people who never cared to heal them. Tired of dreaming up futures with people who only ever rest their heads before leaving again. I feel like love’s unwanted child, tender, yearning, and constantly abandoned. It takes what little I have to offer, whispers promises it never keeps, and leaves me lonelier than before. Still, I try to be softer. Gentler. Even after she left, even after I gave her everything. And now I hear her contemplating him, the one who hurt her for a decade. What was it about him that made her stay? Why couldn’t I be given even a fraction of that devotion? I think I’m done. Someone else can carry this heart now, if they care enough to hold it right. Just know, it bruises easily, and it begs in silence. I’m tired of giving so much just to be enough, for people who never notice how much it costs to be this soft.

after eight years of friendship seven years of 'will they, won't they?' six years of kind-of five years away four years of maybe three years as neighbors two years as strangers and one phone call that ended with "Stay in touch"... what a countdown it has been letting you go.

stay in touch.
I'm an alcoholic I sleep and dream of drink I don't care to show it I don't care what your think, Come we'll have a party at mine Come, and don't forget the wine It doesn't have to be good wine It could be anything It can be anything.. cause I'm an alcoholic I don't care what I drink could be sweet could be bitter ah, bitter's much too sweet! Lets talk about dear ol' you and all the boring things you do what goes into my ears I lose your story's only good with ***** Oh it's incredible; It's unbelievable!.. Oh, what a symbiotic relationship you get to be holy I get to go down with the ship, Musicians play a dreary tune I've emptied most of your perfume We start with two and end with none I think I've had myself some fun Yes I did, I think I did.. It's gotta be demonic this possessive urge but you know when I'm on it I don't feel the purge, The world is a merry ol' place I think I'm in love with my face Come sit down, admire my face Come sit down, don't be a disgrace You stupid cow, you filthy dog.. Ah, where's the logic? we're not made of it You think I'm neurotic I think you're incredibly fit, You wanna show you wanna prove But I already know the truth from worried man the missing link that leads to blissful ape is drink. So have a drink, lets have a drink..

Black White White and black Search for a hint of color But they ran away with you Search for my tears Look for my smile But it’s nowhere to be seen Not without you Funny how I can take Longer sips of my cigarette Funny how nothing Can make me move as fast Funny how my pain Has changed shape now Funny how my pain Looks like our silhouette Or maybe like the ashes I dust in the astray Or the fallen pieces Of the far past Funny how nothing deserves my care Funny how I can only stare Why ain’t the world fair Why aren't you near

My truth
And if I had a backspace button to erase every word you ever planted in my mind Every lie about loving me Every stone they spat that aimed at ebbing away at my existence Every kiss I got from poisonous lips Every snake that slithered into my life and out leaving despair I'd erase until there was nothing left But in life that luxury doesn't exist, but I'm still the author of this story So I aim to ink every page after with words,feelings and thoughts that defy those that stained my pages in tears and blood. Because for every lie, deception and hate that filled pages and left no room, the light inside me that I somehow generated from the desire to overcome, to grow and to be happy will fill a thousand pages more....

Backspace Button
Letters by letter by letter These thoughts and emotions Pour from my head to my heart, Through my veins. They reach my fingertips, Tapping eagerly on the side of my laptop But then I hear it, What if it sounds stupid? What if no one cares what you have to say? Her voice, no, my voice, Doubtful, hurting, scared. But the thoughts keep pumping my fingers violently throb It all happens like a blur, I have to get these words out Or everything will explode Into a dizzy array of sparkling light So I type and I type and I type I type till my fingers go numb And my eyes are glazed over And it doesn't hurt to breathe anymore. And despite her many warnings, When I click 'save', She quietens down And anxiety doesn't hold me back.

It’s been two days since I saw your name My heart falls into my stomach whenever I do. I turn to my crutches and hope they fill the hole inside me. They don’t though Very few things do anymore. Writing helps, though I shouldn’t indulge this emotion. Not like this. It’s been two days since my soul rebelled. I hope it comes home soon. My body can’t sustain

Your name.
Suicidal tendencies; Man are they hard to shake. I guess its kinda ******** to wanna take Ur own life Away. To me its just part of most days. I look at living as a silly little game. Constant effort to trasmute the pain, To shut off my brain So that I can simply Exist. A 44 n a flick if the wrist, Or score sum more n slip into bliss. Make sure she's got no sores on her lips Before planting another ***** with that first kiss. A vertical slit of the wrists I've thought often of the many many ways To cross off the list. But really, when I take my own life If i decide in a monent of emotional feedback so loud it drowns out my natural effervescence It'll be from taking flight. Cause u know how much I like to get high N how hard I *** down. Ear to ground Still listening for the secret N searching for the sound. I get lost n then found Then lost Again I really don't have any friends Just acquaintances I don't remember what day it is But I sure can feel the pull of the moon I love these orange pressie pills, I start nibbling at noon I used to believe in love, now my heart has no more room. Desperate doom. I'm such a romantic That I'm incapable of loving humans any more. More efficient to go ahead n make that score. My heart like a massive tree house so many floors. So many many ways in, All boarded shut If I was a girl they'd call me a **** Cause I **** every night, my ***** mouth n **** Cause I can never get Enuf of love. Thank god for drugs. Why is it that in Alaska no one hugs, Santa Cruz -- home of the pacifist banana slugs. No more war, I'm retired from battling History repeats itself Like a broken ******* record. My past is checkered, But not as hard as my future I'm going in deep with the drugs Working out all the bugs In this new system. Do u know what its like to b ****** on By the ones fr above. I'm smoothing out my pistons Ready to race. Beginning a new phase, Where no one gets my heart, not even me. A new start. Now wearing the glove, Cause I'm nearing the finishing lines. I've definitely had enuf of love.

I'm scared you'll run away If I tell you what is wrong You can not promise you will stay There's a pattern and I'm starting to catch on You see, you'll act like you care Everyone always does But when you are needed you won't ever be there So I turn to my drinks to feel that familiar buzz.

Trust No One
Being unwanted isn't new to me. Infact I was shocked to find myself on the verge of tears when I found out you don't want nor care about me. I hate what you do to me. I hate that you're my weakness and you don't give a **** I hate that nothing I do fazes you. I hate you.

I always play tough, That's how I have to be, I can't give these mfs the satisfaction from when they played with me, My mama always told me, To never let them see that side of you, Don't let them get to you, They'll  abuse you and use you, And They'll walk away, Knowingly bruising you, It always take that one time, Don't let it be two...

Tough love
I'm drowning yet I stand in no water, civilization is the curse of my existence it weights upon every aspect of me. Do this, don't do that, I am man I am free. But they do not listen for greed is upon fake prophets that only think of what they can accumulate before the reaper kisses there soul and all that is left is regrets and nothing more. "Spin the wheel your fate is there's to play, Be one with the world, live life, don't do as your told freedom is your chosen choice. We are now like hen pecking in out squalid corner, when really we shouldn't be drowning

I Am Drowning Without Water
With tears in your eyes, you begged me to stay. I said "I love you girl, but no ******* way." For months and months, I've been hoping you'd see. That the way that you are is just killing me. It might **** me to leave you, I might **** myself. But even taking my life is better than being left on  your shelf.

My points aren’t touching ground. Plucked up by a spine Holding my pages together When the library is going up in smoke Paper doesn’t need to breathe It just needs to be the channel The background of the universe Bleeding itself into reality

Try to write something no one understands
Don't hold on to anything. Nothing is where we all begin and where are we all will end. Everything in between is just a continuation of the unknown process that we all exist within. Love means nothing, age is everything, we are dirt and dinosaurs. Absence is a relevant. Feelings are meaningless. Do everything, do nothing, no matter the outcome, nothing matters. We are matter. Fly high, until you reach the stars or until your wax melts and your wings burn. The Sun'll burn us all away in time. Don't hold on to anything, just let go and fall or float because we are all in the void.

I really believed in you, But I found out that was a big mistake too. For all the promises that you have failed to keep, I pretend that you love me, So I can get some sleep. I held on to you so tight, When we were together, Everything felt so right. You were once the one who kept me sane, Now you’re the one who is causing me all this pain. The memories all come flashing back, I wish I knew then, who was hiding behind that mask. For all the promises you have failed to keep, I find it hard, not to lose myself esteem. My heart can’t take anymore lies, Or soul crushing goodbyes. I can’t take anymore flesh cutting tears, Or four more wasted years. For all the promises you have failed to keep, I delete every memory of you , so I can get some sleep.

For all the Promises
sure we have friends and family too, but in the end it's really only you, nobody else to guide you through, at the end of the day, when the night comes, and the light runs away, it's the demons & the monsters, cue to attack you, as you lay silently allowing them to take over you politely, sure we have friends, and family too, but at the end of the day, you're the only person who can guide yourself through.

[you and only you.]
**I miss you Now you only exist through photographs      And I wonder if you smile between the frozen moments I see of you    I plead its true           Cause I'm bleeding new negatives of myself     But the only pain I've felt was putting you on a shelf                  I can't see it any different     I think of you an infant and now I see you crawling and I wanna call your momma but I wonder if it matters and when to cut ties      I cut all the veins until most of it died      I got blood on my hands but most of it dried   Somehow the blood mixed with filth and a vine grew inside       And I wonder if I can touch your face if I climb**         ***When is all lost? When its all tossed aside and goes out with the tide?                    I need a vanilla sky to make a horizon and bring back the water              Meanwhile I hear mommas having a daughter and I want her to be a doctor automatically      Cause success is something none of us ever got to see***
