my heart is under attack and i am hanging by a thread i try to cope, and now i choke on words i should regret i set my boundaries, and now i feel imaginary like an unfinished painting, the brush lays there just dripping reds and blues just looking for a different palette, a different hue, to give me a clue it’ll change for the best now my heart is under arrest and i know life is full of surprises and tests the sun will rise, and the clouds will lift i have to keep my spirits up open my eyes, and hope i won’t collapse— but rise instead under the stress

you've got spirit, kid
They don’t know they live in my lines, in the curves of half-written poems, where I hide their names beneath metaphors and rain. They don’t know that every silence I’ve ever endured became a verse, and every goodbye turned into a stanza I never planned to finish. They’ve stopped remembering me— but I still write them down, so I don’t forget how it felt to be loved and left.

They don't know
Moments of love feel almost medical— but my patience for it is cold, clinical. I never meant to overdose, just chasing comfort in a heavy dose of someone new, to help me cope. I try to build a house from broken pieces— too many to count. I am the empty echo of a heart still full, but far too loud to be heard. _Echo...   Echoes_      fall between the silence of our words, two awkward breaths apart—trying to keep it innocent, just as friends, while our primal skins just want to skip to the part of just having *** It’s the risk of falling in love— that makes us stumble near the edge. It’s beautiful. It’s ******* stupid. It hurts. It’s love. Whether it finds you first, as the one you need— or shows up last, as the one you never really wanted.
