TWO PATHS
I was feeling Really ****** tonight But listening to Astoria Has kinda made it better It tells the story of getting over a break up And sometimes We need to revisit old relationships And work through them again I think that's part of being human

Welp You did it. You made me cry. It’s been so long too     so long I was doing alright —     shoving stuff down     because thats what im good at But this uncorked a whole bottle     of my Grade A Premium Tears—     youre welcome by the way     theyre nice and aged     i know its your favorite drink I wonder if you even know— That you made me cry... and if you do, then are you gonna apologize?     because ive got stuff to do     that wasnt just an excuse         So... I mean, that wasn’t really called for. I wonder how long you’ll take This time.     its never been that long before     itd take longer if it was genuine You’re good at saying sorry but you never mean it.     youre like the opposite of my last one Usually it’s, “I’m sorry, I love you, I know I’m a **** And I say, “It’s ok, you are but I love you anyways.” —     because for some reason i do     i dont know why     i probably shouldn’t, you really are an ***     but like... youre hot     and im *****         So—         I’m 95% sure I do love you. I wonder if it’s you who made me mean?     or if it was them     theyre ***** too Maybe I was always mean, and you brought it out—     i wouldnt be surprised     i can be a *****         That’s why this is a problem anyways. I do know You made me cry It’s been so long.

your eyes were the thing that got me hooked, the first dose of your drug. then, you made me feel special and worth something, the second dose; the addiction was growing. and as time progressed, my addiction grew and my vision became fuzzy, and you became all of me. that's when I overdosed. and now you're gone and I'm just an addict with a pen. I think it's time to become sober. my dear darling of a drug, this is where the pain stops and you become nothing but a memory and I begin to detoxify.

drugs
*Why did she have to mend herself, And pretend like everything was fine. When no day passed without a sob, As she lay drunk with wine. She held the bottle to her lips, And with every single sip, It was as if she drowned again, It was as if she waned away. The memories blurred as the days passed on , As she looked for something to hold on. But honey, you see, the days are gone, When you could expect a shoulder to cry on.*

A Soliloquy
Some days, when the skies turn into dark, steely greys, and the rain pours down like the Gods are weeping, I make an effort to pull out the dusty box in the back of my closet. Within it, are memories that are better off forgotten. Everyone who has ever been a part of them, think that these ancient artifacts have been long destroyed, reduced to rubble, burned in fires too bright and strong to survive. However, these items, these photos, these ancient pieces from another era, another time, another life, are reminders of just how far I’ve come. I can pull out a hoodie, deep red, the colour of my blood on my sheets after you left and wrap myself in it to find comfort from the storm raging outside my window. You see, these memories are some things that may be better off erased and destroyed, but every once in a while, when the fragility of life is made apparent, you need to be able to pull out a dusty box, filled with belongings of your seventeen year old self, young and in love, fearlessly taking on and navigating the bumpy roads, of holding two lives in your hands, and working tirelessly to blend them together. You’ll fall in love again, maybe you already have, but you will never fall in love for the very first time again, and it’s important to physically be able to hold that too hot summer in your hands; where the weather only allowed you to sit by the water with the air conditioning on full blast, playing songs on a hand burned CD, talking about the future like you had a clue of what it would bring. It’s important to remember what being naïve and infinite was like. It’s important to be able to remember him. It’s important to let yourself remember him.

I still go to our favorite spot The one where you kissed me for the first time, Where you told me you loved me for the first time, Where you promised me the world, forever. That one spot, where you hurt me for the first time. Where our passion fueled conversations turned dark Where you finally gathered the nerve to tell me to my face I don't love you anymore. Yeah, I still go to our favorite spot, Even if it's not you I bring with me anymore.

i feel like a bird that flew right into a window that you pointed at and laughed i feel like the shaven-head celebrities the crack addicts the high, homeless hippies on the street i feel like a person of Wal Mart the awkward couple that shows way too much PDA in public the punchline of a fat joke (i see all the fingers pointed at me as--) i struggle to bend my wings into shape again but i've taken to writing poetry and cutting up pieces of newspaper to fit between the ruffled feathers i shouldn't still have brain damage from the collision i had with your pride (sixteen miles high) but maybe i do i tap on the glass just to make sure that i really am a fool and to see if you'll look back to see me redeem myself to see me fly a   w      a        y. (but you don't)

being an idiot (in your eyes)
I used to have a women so vain Lashed out in cruelness and repressed her own pain A darkened festered soul I dare not speak her name And she only has her self to blame She came to my door She was slashed and trembling She didn't need to speak I could read her rather clear, within six months An extensive time of healing Of overwhelming feelings I did all that I could do Then she turned to me and said "I love you" Then we were through What could I do? Two years, by her side Her heart of frozen fire And the lies she told With the mouth of treason Left without reason Valentine I ran to the woods I lost my mind Her shadow was no more She is gone Her parents keep her spoiled Her friends keep her drunk And the world, forgets about her And she knows it, she hates it But she craves for attention Yet she remember our time The times and patience Our ventures into tears and laughs And all the experiences we ate Now I reside in the mountains And she lives by the shore We don't speak But we've moved on And I'm still standing And she's still mad I did my best
