"I stand at you grave, alone. Why...? That is my only question. Why did you have to leave me too? I cannot help but shed my blood for you. Holding the knife up against my neck, I feel its blade. Icy and dull, like my shattered heart. I miss you. I miss your warm eyes, soft skin, and delicate lips. I push in the blade, slowly inching towards inevitable death Drips of dark red. Deeper. And deeper. Countless strangers surround me, trying to stop what cannot be undone. They do not understand. Nor I do not care. For you were the love of my life. My one and only... Just you wait darling... I am coming. "I will meet you soon"

I Will Meet You Soon, Dear
lost my sweet boy He's not dead. He's just buried under the days we lost growing up. I miss my sweet boy He's not lost. Just running from the idea of something he chose to run from - to forget. He is no longer my sweet boy. The Sweetness turned sour as I tried taking another bite The Boy grew bitter as the taste drips from my tongue The warmth of him grew grim as his hands twisted from warm to frozen in seconds The last tear of the affection I had changed to nothing more than ash at my grasp He used to meet me in the soft hours, between childhood and hope - now he only visits in echoes. Half-formed. Half-gone. Half of the boy I loved and none of the man he'd become.

buried boy (untitled)
We laid a foundation New days were rainbow The moon got bright each night One decision Gave us both a heartache We shall not walk the same path Wrench heartbreak Drizzles Become everlasting torrential rain Winds blew against us Like a haunted day and night Sky screaming on our behalf Clouds turn dark In paths we walk Blinding flash of lightening Splits the sky I asked, Why can't we be together ? The silenced answered. Earthquake fractured the ground Creating a division further For the best we had What was once a sweet sunrise Stays a reminiscence Rest of the days It's a torment You a gone Take care

Paths We Cannot Walk
I am wearing my brother’s old t-shirt when I see you dressed in white. You’re smiling next to her. You’ve never beamed that way before. You look so grown up. The boyish charm all washed up into the greys of your mind— where maybe, a picture of me dies. Funny—this is our end. You leave my revenge undone. I imagined it would hurt more. But my heart is steadily sad. Treat her better than me. Keep the other quests at bay. Have a home. Have children. Have laughter. Maybe, when I am wearing white, my smile will prove that you never existed.

Steadily Sad
''I call at night, So we wouldn’t fight. Then you’re jumping through the next, Without knowing how I felt. Feeling overwhelmed, But you couldn’t melt. Slamming doors, and champagne all over the floor... It’s all for the best, they say, But I didn’t want to end it this way. We made a vow, but now, All we have are broken hearts, with no future to share, And now I’m wildly aware. If I’m crying, you will be made of raindrops, Because you disappear every time it flops. First I was your “Saturn,” the next you say “there is no return.” Guess I just tasted the glass you poured, It’s like I got stabbed with a sword, Poisoned me, cursed me, and left me hoping for things to change, Like a child who’s hoping for the season to change. I call in the morning, So we would stop sobbing, Because you know how I feel, And I do want to be driving without a wheel.''

Melted Hope...
You say tell me everything And i tell you everything I say tell me more, and you say less Make me regret I told you so much You made a mess of me with your touch and your ways But I knew you would, I've known for more than just hours and days I've known for so many years, that one day you would break me I knew what fool you would make me But I let you, because you gave me bliss But promise me, let me go with a soft hug, and a heartfelt last kiss

Tell me everything
It rained the first day I was without you. How could I blame it, I cried too. ...even if you didn't see it. ...even if you didn't feel it… It rained for you; For the pain I gave you, That spilled down the curves of your face. Open handed and un-expecting, Open hearted and undeserving, To receive this awful reward Earned with love and kisses. Peering out from hollow eyes Inside I collapsed; More than you know, More than you could know. To see your face, Knotted with sour tears And broken mirrors. Who would surrender What bargain they had made When time comes collecting? But time did come, And I gave you up. How words seem harder When they're at your feet And not your mouth.

Crying Sky
I thought I could bear it, with un-penetrated walls and flying my flag. That the thought of your smile could hold my strength, and fortify my castle. Those downcast eyes and upturned mouth, couldn't that give me just a little comfort, a little more strength? But those were wishful thoughts of too good intentions. Now here I lay toppled, buried beneath my own stone walls. Can you not see these, not feel these bleeding sunset wounds? Exposed and seething behind the brave face, that urge every fiber within me to react; to cross the line drawn in the sand between us. Cast off my restraints and pour myself out to you. Would that soothe the aching that consumes me and return you from that stranger's lips? Or have time and words stretched thin, hanging our bridges on feeble threads waiting to cut ties beneath my steps?

Brave Face
* *Swathed in a robe of scarlet snow with a crown of raven thorns and skin of ten moons With her chin upturned, she ascends With screams locked deep in her heart None see her for who she truly is For she is a goddess of stone before she is mortal Yet the one who could was now dust the very one who had the key to the heart of her Kingdom* *

Locked
If I call, will you decline it? If I text, will you read it? If I love you, will you ignore it? U disappeared off the face of the earth, and I’m going to be sick. All because I’ve banished u, But still I feel so sick. Delete and then block, Delete and then block, & delete and then block. The same cycle for all my social media accounts… Except for about 3. I left those open incase you want to come back. Add and then friend, Add and then friend, & add and then friend. That was a mistake. Yes, I saw the new new. That girl smiling brightly. That girl taunting me, “Na Nana boo boo, you can’t have him!” Well. That’s when I started to feel sick. Well, That’s when I texted u. Well, That’s when I broke all self control and discipline. And well, Here we are. I’m sick of calling, Sick of texting, Sick of feeling, And I’m sick of you. #Sick

I should have paid more attention to the things you threw away; If I had, maybe I’d still have my broken heart today.

How can I drive past the places where the ghosts of us still linger, without letting my sight falter from the rayless road? I’ve too much fuel wasted, burning the long way home.

i look for you in my arms raised lines where i marked time's passage in shame only bumps now only scars i look for you there and find no one nothing i look for you in the things you left in my room a necklace a pin hard cold things that collect dust but not your scent yours but forgotten i look for you down the street a parking lot a place empty now but for ash and debris i lay here my bed empty where it once held you my heart empty where it once held you my smile empty where it once held you

Do you know how it feels for you to not love me? It's like you stabbed me in the lungs and trying to breath My chest burning in pain and I just try to breathe and smile because you didn't know what you did. I try to support you and care like normal when all I want to do is scream "don't you know what you've done to me" but I can't be angry, you never knew Loving you is the most beautiful and painful thing I've ever done

If I am to die, tell the world a lie on my last day. Tell them I was gentle, good. Tell the world that I cared, that I loved without conditions. Tell the world that I always spoke my mind, that I was fair and kind. Tell the world I believed in goodness, that I had hope for all the lost causes. Tell the world I was bright, like a falling star that crashes down from the Heavens. If I am to die, do not tell the world the truth about me. Do not speak of my bitterness. The hatred wrapped under my skin, that put me in an early grave. Do not speak of the three am desperation when I wanted the world to end. Do not speak of the broken hearts, broken bones, broken dreams. Do not speak of all the blood spilled, time lost on stupid petty pointless things. Do not speak of how I raged and raged and wore myself thin over people that never cared. If I am to die at my own hand, Tell the world that I was always hopeful. Tell the world a lie, so I may be beautiful in death, even if I was not in life. Tell the world that I will be missed, even if the world is so loud it will not notice one more quiet voice slip away. Tell the world that someone loved me. Do not tell the world that I died because the world did not care. If I am to die, do not write the truth on my headstone, for it is such an ugly thing.

On My Headstone
I can see your trying to be there but I need you closer so I can repair. You don't believe me when I say you hurt me. You want to help but then you want to flee I'm nasty and bitter because of the pain Have never felt so much distain I'm confused as hell, should of listened to the warning bell Knowing that I love you deep down So why do we argue is it a communication breakdown You frustrate me as I frustrate you But somehow we stick together like glue

How come your not here?
I have fallen Into the ashes Of what we were You have forgotten Who I am The minute I fell Into the mess you made I have fallen Away from us Because I was never enough To make you feel alive So instead I died I have fallen To my heartbreak Because I somehow thought You would change.

Kind hands learn to be calloused hands under the thumb of others, and around the fingers of heathens mistaken for lovers.

Calloused hands
I feel you next to me I feel your body breath But you a million miles away You never talk to me At least not about things that matter We shared everything Now we have sepperate dreams And yours seem to not involve me Anymore We try to patch up this gap But the close I get to you The more I feel you Falling away But I don't wanna let you go I want you to stay Instead of falling away

Falling Away
Oh how I love Black, my favorite color. It's my room color and white for the door. Bits of greys for my windows and my floor. Let's take it deep within what is stores. Black and white, perfect combination. It's what I wear, drawing people's attention. But I don't care, this is my personality's representation. Bullies don't give you just hate, they give reactions. Let's go deeper, make this a whole. My hindrances never end, just like a burning coal. Give me a mirror, I only see my reflection of my soul. Everything on my is broken, with a deteriorating goal.
