We were special late nights falling asleep on the phone tone to tone laughing crying cheek bones hurting from all the smiling planning whispering comfort that was us now there is silence no good mornings no sweet dreams no thinking of you's I sit here dreaming heart sullen crusted tears salty cheeks red stained lips wishing thinking of you missing you trying so hard to just say no

Steady
Exhaustion tears through my heart My mind stutters over thoughts My lungs ache from breathing And I’m itching for emptiness.

Exhausted
when you're driving do you ever wonder about the layers between you and that tree?

swerve
I’ve never broken down like that before My feet went numb My head was made of stone My eyes were waves My voice was crackling like rocks My hair was draping The floor was my bed Your words were my antagonist I couldn’t breath I couldn’t believe I was breaking

I never broke that hard
*While you offer me those sweet words and lovely poems I am writing the same for him And while you whisper “I miss you” to me I silently say the same to him Sorry but it’s true, I ain’t over him So tighten your grip, don’t slip I don’t want you to get broken just like me And as much as I hate saying this It’s not you, it’s me It’s always me, always me And I can't accept anything you will give Because I can't give what I do not have -my heart, because sadly, he still owns it*

I don't own it
body... it hurts and I can't do it anymore. But its okay... just sometimes, No. I can't. "Can't what!!?"_ you shriek Everything: Its painful to get dressed, coming out from the curled, soft, blankets it hurts my head, eyes, and  body I can't explain why or how. I can't explain my self not anymore. I can't be fake anymore talking **** all the time. I can't hide these feelings. I'm scared. not knowing where I am blinded of where I'm going, doing my best to cover all this chaotic mess with a smile, the smile everyone exclaims they love so dearly. A smile just to get me out the door and through the day. And Why And  How !!! How do these **** Lovely Beings see all this good, all this beauty, hope and fragile kindness.. all this peace and passion. How..! can they see all this, behind that smile.. Telling me these sweet gentle words, words I truly try to believe in! words I forget to believe in words that I find so hard to see, all these wonders people talk of. I get so lost in myself, trying to find these wonderful sweet words of calm seas, and humble peace those words, people exclaim to me. But its Hard and most days.. I just can't. So I'm sorry if I get down and all shades of blue, of lost and scared. But these horrible words: 'I can't' Have Haunted me since forever. those terrible two words.. spinning around in my miserable, lost, mind. Causing my body to hurt so with all these sleepless nights. But its Okay! No worries its Just... at times it hurts so that I look in the mirror and see lost, tired, scared, sad, eyes staring so freighted back at me. Asking why, I could possibly hurt so.. But for now. Sorry, my lovelies that I hurt so Maybe someday, I will truly believe in calm seas and shining peace with radiant skin shinning with blinding passion.

Some People Are hated , alienated, don't know what to do don't know why others treat them that way don't know how to treat themselves the only words they can think... I Can't, the word they believe in their mind, in their heart don't stop before you start don't say you can't before you begin because that way you'll never win At The Game Of Life, now give me the knife you stabbed me in the back with... I'll cut the interlocking vines in the way of my path more complicated but also more simple than grade 10 math let your story unfold take a different road Twisting and winding Have your story be told; your memories shared act and pretend that all your superficial friends cared but at the end of the day, did they. Mine Did in a world where quantity over quality existed, especially with friends I won not with quantity but with quality I favored it it had a different taste, a different flavour Not bitter but sweet in a bitter-sweet world but I can't choose one over the other because you have your hardships you have your happiness and often they can be mixed together; in a cocktail of heartbreak and new love and the Idea you can always begin again, or start where you left of.

Somebody stop me
I want to write my emotions down in this poem, But if I put my emotions into words The screen would burst into flames And I would burst into tears I'm just so broken right now, and I just want to be happy. Why can't I just be happy

I can stop myself from texting him That's a start But if I don't want to think about him Well... That's a whole lot harder But I can't listen to love songs Or sad love songs Or sad songs Or angry songs Or Ed Sheeran because he loves his music Or the song Riptide by Vance Joy because he loves that song too This music reminds me too much of him I can't use the word lovely Because that was my favorite word he used to call me And he knew it, so he used it all the time I can't even wear dresses and skirts anymore because he always liked girls wearing dresses and skirts I can't read John Green because he actually liked his writing style And I can't read ANY quotes from Neil Gaiman because he loved his writing He of course, had to be a writer and a poet so it's hard to read love poetry without his name creeping into mind I hate how I can't even finish the novel I was writing because I included some events based off of some of my favorite moments between us I can't look at pictures of England because he really wanted to live in England one day I can't look his exgirlfriend who he still cares for who goes to my school in the eye because just like he always did I will always compare myself to her and I can never measure up to even close to what she is I can't text the words "haha" because he used that instead of lol all the time I can't even talk about him to someone without feeling pathetic He just wrecked everything He ruined my favorite outfits, music, music artists, writing, books, countries, and even my novels that I had ideas I was just so excited for. I just can't get him out of my mind And the truth is I don't like him anymore I really don't but I do miss him and I admit that I don't want to but honestly, I do So it is just easier... to forget Although with all the things that lead me back to him It's proving not to be easier and I kind of don't want to forget because he was the closest I ever came To really liking a guy Who liked me back and just like the tense he used when he said goodbye to me I say liked not like.

I cursed every tear that dripped from my blue forsaken eyes, rolled down my cheeks, to rest at my lips, the ones that never got to call you dad.
