Snippets #18
the blinking of a cursor opens the doors to possibilities creation of worlds and relationships but for me it reminds me of what i do not have 'list the 10 people closest to you' 8 of the 10 are family people close to me due to blood relation and law the last two slots remain empty filled only with the steady rhythmic beat of the cursor in a world where screens connect us, mine reminds me of how disconnected i am that i lack social relations outside of my family and who am i to tell my family that i am lonely when i have them? who am i to tell them that i crave for relationships that are not mandatory and are instead of our own free will?

college paper
Anything I will take anything to get this feeling out of my chest This headache out of my head I can't take it. I want it out with blood with a pill with cancer in a stick. Anything please Just make me forget I exist. I just wish I loved life a little less.

Anything
As stormy feelings tears me deep The last words you whispered tears I keep God called you to his side I don’t understand…This raging feeling I can’t hide The promises of love shared Now just scarred memories that I bare Emotions flowing twisted and cold I cry, no crave, your love your touch your soul This empty feeling undying severed my heart What happened to the notion we’ll never be apart How do I live this life, how do I move on I still need you, I still love you Or are we just pawns Broken hearts represents our stars Your sweet lips on mine seems now so far As a perfect union now broken apart My love for you will never die… I promise for you I eternally cry.

Eternal Heartache
I’d do almost anything for you. Almost anything. Almost. Not that... I won’t leave my own flesh and blood. Now I pay the price. We both do. You’ve never stared into your own soul, young, innocent and wholly dependent on you. I bet you hate me for it some days... That makes two of us. So be it. Doesn’t make it any easier.

I’ve thought about you all day today, This day is significant, it’s a special day I made macaroni and cheese..it was my first time To think I would have gained something more impactful than pasta To think I’ve lost more than myself these last days To think I could heal wounds with words and sincerity I think I think too much. With shaky hands I adjust the instrument of my addiction Was it fact or fiction, I breath in, in, in.. Eyes flutter as the waves of pleasure hits This feeling probably is a better option than to slit my wrists To twist my lips and take a sip To sip my dreams and blow it into life, You speak what you want into the universe and it’ll provide You were my drug of choice, I know you’re no good for me And thought I swear my lips will never touch you again Here we are, I listen to voicemails hearing your sweet words caress my smoke I am nothing more, honestly a joke. I claim I helped you when you were in darkness murk Yet I am the one sloshing away, **** pathetic how I miss what this day means Regretting everything, I hate this reality I chose for me Your chemical abandons my brain and I hold my head in my hands I cry, like a bottle of water splashing onto the floor The bottle is empty and I am the same It’s incredible how stupid I am, how I lost so much, and gave so little to the one I loved I stare up from the bottom of the bottle occasionally, but lately I’m just drifting

In week one I decided that completely powerless was the safest feeling I had ever felt In week two gifted expensive whiskey and mommy issues told you all my secrets In week three my skin was healthier for having known you and nothing felt so dark as before In week four I heard every song sound as if on acid In week five you showed me that he did not have the cornerstone on breaking my heart I would not know that until week seven In week six _space_ In week seven typing… In week eight I watched the blood move down skin which had not been opened in better than two years It was then I knew the shelter had become the storm. I don't count the weeks anymore It is winter now.

It was Spring
I know you're trying to forget The lonely words we spoke With no discussion of repercussions Phrases that clung to our skin That daring sin that dirtied our souls Let me clear my throat I don't know if it's that I regret it But the memory still lingers You told me that I was one of the people you wanted to meet the most Touching lips, fingertips on more than just hips as we rocked the boat We overwhelmed each other in more ways than one And you got what you needed We retreated to our own lives Our own beds, simple friends I asked you: How you felt, Where we stood, And you decided to leave me Feeling assure of your feelings Now I bare these caring feelings Alone

You care for people who say they care for you. With your heart broken on your sleeve and a trail of tears left behind,  I walk the earth, head down, crying. I ask why it's not fair,  for people to be happy and you left broken.  All I wanted was for you to see the broken side of me but all you saw was someone to fix you.

Broken in pieces
U live in denial Instead of pressing refresh U refuse to start over Leaving behind all the cancerous mess Instead u desperately wait All night at the door Knowing so well She won't come through there no more Tell me what will u gain By living this way Blinded by heart ache U slip further away Thinking now your the one That must be put into blame U can't seem to carry on Everywhere that u go U can't help but see her face So u drown your sorrows Every night after dark Hurt from it all You've lost who you are Only to realize the answer wasn't there Now your a mess & drunk Completely lost in despair But I know your helplessly trying I see it within your eyes that constantly keep crying Due to your heart aching pain Broken down wondering how It all ended this way                                                         - Abraham Avalos

Lost In Love
Journal entry #4 Ever since I started this dammned therapy, it's as if the flood gates have opened up within my heart. All the memories of you I kept hidden are now breaking through. Destroying all the walls I hand built to keep you out. These memories come in waves. Some are brief. Some are long. Some are just glimpses of your handsome face. But out of all of them, one in particular stands out. We had rented movies. All the movies you chose were action packed. But I chose a romantic movie. I don't remember the name, but I do remember the ending. It made me cry, it was a beautiful ending about love everlasting. And I remember looking over at you expecting you to laugh at me, but you too were crying. I remember how we both instantly laughed. It was then In that very moment, (At the time) That I thought we were sharing the same feelings. That we were crying because we could relate to how much these two people loved each other, because we loved each other just as much. I'll never forget how you pulled me in close hugged me, and kissed me and then said I love you so much. And most of all, I'll never forget how we both wiped each others tears and said, **** this movie." Lol

Static Memories
The ground you walked on made me feel proud to walk in the same direction, now I find myself looking backwards to see if you’re still walking behind me. You had sprained your ankle and you still walked miles to be with me, stayed with me, held me and told me that even when I looked like complete **** (which I did- you would say) you could still paint the sky with the color of my eyes. You brushed my hair behind my ears and told me that this life wasn't made for you. I wish I didn't read your obituary once a month.  I will never forget that night, being held and shown a glimpse of love from someone that claimed he would never know how.

Loss
I’m not sorry That I loved you with everything I had That I gave you every inch of my soul That I loved you more than I knew could exist That I made love to you one last time Despite everything that had happened I’m not sorry That I wasn’t stronger after we lost the baby That I fell apart when everything had come together That I cracked and revealed all the ways we were broken That I could not be the rock for us Even though you couldn’t either I’m not sorry That I was myself That I would not walk on eggshells That I would not be disrespected That I had and opinion and a voice Even though it made you leave I am sorry for the pieces of me you could not love I am sorry we ended when we said forever I am sorry that we never got our family I am sorry I let you down in any way that I did I am sorry that love turned out to be conditional. Even though I never thought it was.

I'm not sorry
The last chance has passed and she has left me lost and alone. The driver sped through the light that he failed to see through his high powered beer goggles. The rest of the world runs on the same, No one the wiser, no one to feel my pain. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. I’m out of tears, no more grief, the time has passed. Tonight I am slipping away without my anchor to Tether me to this world. It is time to end the suffering, stop the waiting. I cannot accept that there will ever be another As I fall to pieces; the lord caves his jigsaw into me.

The Lord's Jigsaw
I want to say that loving You was like falling, But that would be a lie. I want to say that loving You was like losing my breath, But that would be a lie too. I will say that loving You was like stumbling, Completely unsure if I would be caught. I will say that loving You was like suffocating, I couldn't seem to breathe at all. I won't say that I regret loving you, But I won't say that I'd try again. Loving You

Loving You
By Arcassin Burnham Black tar in my heart but you came and took it out Of my consciousness letting the love that I have for You go unmissed in this life, In this world I transitioned to a boy that has no Original value to a man that has a heart and knows Where to start if we ever talked, You think - I'm not - aware,...... ...you don't have to say a thing, your beauty say a lot with the features in my mind, don't you give me that frown and those eyes Not surprised to be broken down, Down, I know that you've been searching since he left, so you saw my soul,..... But you don't have to say a thing...... I love holding hands with you, a wealth-*that I *- can share with you, You don't have to say a thing , your beauty says a lot With the features, I know- that you've - been waiting, for love to come sweep you off your feet pretty baby, the cold- will se-parate us, in a state of loss of the love that we had for each other,.... But you don't have to say a thing,... I love holding hands with you.

Holding Hands Riddim
There’s something wrong with me I’m broken somewhere inside. And, I know it won’t be easily fixed I know because I tried. I’m all messed up and in pain And nothing is going right. I keep on trying to get better But it’s an uphill fight. I’m hurting and I want to cry. I’m depressed and I know why. I want things to change right now But, I can’t fix it. I don’t know how. I keep wishing it was tomorrow And my heart didn’t hurt so much For the feel of you in my arms And the healing of your loving touch. I’ve healed all I will ever heal From drowning in my own tears. But there is something wrong with me Since you are no longer here. I’m hurting and I want to cry. I’m depressed and I know why. I want things to change right now But, I can’t fix it. I don’t know how. There’s something wrong with me I’m broken somewhere inside. And, I know it won’t be easily fixed I know because I tried. I’m all messed up and in pain And nothing is going right. I keep on trying to get better But it’s an uphill fight.

SOMETHING WRONG
You and i indulge in a love So strong no death can violate And yet Dusk comes and goes Along with pieces of our blissful bond We fell into an abyss of friendship And gradually got lost in it Our promises are nolonger as intriguing as the promises of a courtesan Conversations have become nothing but fleeting pleasantries... Just like a *** addict drunk on viagra,i am desperate.... To ignite our dying flame I can not lose you

Our light is shining ignorantly(Free verse)
The night is worn thin from this viewpoint. the river dances still; down the hill, under the rumbling bridge cluttered with people separate in their own cyclical worlds & the city glimmers with two thousand diamond fake stars just beyond the dark tree line. we are watching this world happen from far away. We are spectators in a world who has long since forgotten us. i say i want to change the world & you say it’s something good in me. You don’t know what i’m thinking & i can see it in your eyes when you turn away. Words aren’t as strong with you. you want something more from me, something i have never been able to fully give before. in particular dreams i see myself exposed. you are the surgeon & i am your patient. your scalpel cuts through thin skin, inch by inch, careful & precise. blank sterile walls. the smell of death & life as well; it’s contradictory. my blood too is thin & you wipe it away with your sleeve. searching for my heart. peeling back flesh. broken bones & absent heart; i’ve pushed it deep inside. you say you want more but i wasn’t prepared for this. brixtonbell.com

your time is up
This is difficult to think. This is difficult to write. But I've been lying awake, pondering this thought at night. To say I never loved before you- just doesn't feel right. Because I am the one who loves all of life. I am the one who loves despite- one's tendency to fight being loved, or to return love with only spite I have accepted myself, and all things in their respective rights. What plagues me is more complex; I am trying to give it light. I was in love with you, but I'm vexed  by this new found sight. I would never ever risk complications in the form of fight. Never not give him my best, even if I'm showing my selfish side. And I never loved you quite like I love him, I just don't know, is that alright?
