#mattered
Sometimes we sprint for a person so much, That their response becomes obvious. Wondering— What really mattered?

Did You Ever Care
And you ask yourself, “who would choose to be part of something that only seems real because you were the one that lived it.”

Think Twice
Hey. How are you? Nice meeting you. I like you. You are everything. I love you. Forever and always. We are happy. ... We were happy. But then again, You left me. You hurt me. What went wrong? You got bored? You broke me. ... I was broken. And then suddenly, You are here. Out of nowhere, You came back. I am sorry. I was wrong. One more chance. Words you've said. ... Words I've heard, from your mouth, full of lies. Mischief and deceit. I'm not stupid. ... I am strong. I am healing. Slowly but surely. And I replied, You should leave. Let me be, Finally moving on.

All the Three Words That Mattered
I saw you I saw your brain spilling out its cerebellum, medulla oblongata, etc All over- unrecognizable indistinguishable I saw I thought those were some kind of pink pulses Lord knows, weirder things have been found and seen I saw I saw I hope there is justice for you I will pray for your soul My soul will meet yours when the knell rings for me I hope you find peace I hope you know that I called And called and tried and tried To help you even though you were already gone I saw your friend- his eyes, his expression I really did try Please find yourself another life I hope your friend finds peace Knows it wasn't all his fault I hope his eyes lose the haunted shocked expression I really wish he can drive again I hope he can continue working - he looked like one of those people you know those ones? working hard to make it out of drudgery? I hope he makes it through this And I really really wish you guys hadn't had a fight before this Find peace Go safe Go softly Your death was sudden Ripped out of this earth Like you were never meant to exist That was meant to be me I hope it didn't hurt too much And those ******** that did this to you? I hope they didn't mean it I wish they hadn't been high before this Your death shouldn't be meaningless And although You might be simply another obituary in tomorrow's newspaper This poem will say *"I saw you. I prayed for you. I greeted you. I witnessed your existence. You meant something Just as your death did. I wish you peace and that you go Safely, soundly Wishing you that your loved ones Remember you with love And maybe some heartbreak But they find strength. Tonight, I s   a   w You"*

I thought
Sleep. Sleep child, til' the light overpowers the darkness inside, where I secretly cried. I secretly tried, but no one would guess, and I never put my cards face up. It's only ketchup. Used to patch up, the cut and scratch ups, caused by the dull of my pencil, and my soul. I fell, but I dragged myself up again, back into my daily skin, and I'm that burden. That one whose not fully there, told by everyone, "you just don't care", with a random shudder scare. The words I despise you all think, even the shrink, and it drowns me to the sink. I'm that disaster, everyone's after, maniacal laughter. "Am I losing my mind?" "Is this mind really mine?" "Would dying be fine?" I'm not so refined :) I can see the things in perfect imagery, things I don't want to see, always worried everyone hates me. I can't see, I'm not me, I'm not even a somebody. Maybe inside is some other ghost, I'm the host, at my death let's just have a toast. Til' death do we part, take it as a new start, buy the roses to my grave from walmart. I didn't think I mattered anyways, sleeping through these pass-me-by days, my mind playing simon says. I always secretly try, but I am still I, and now simon says ".....goodbye."
