You feel for the bad me The one that smoked , skipped school Gave up on her dreams Gave up on herself It may just be a coincidence But why leave when I wanna be better ? Why not stay to see What I can become We can become ?

past lover
I loved you with all of me and that’s all I could do in the end. I tried everything I could to make you see my value but you closed your eyes. So we walked away from each other. It seemed to be easier for you, as if you weren’t fully there in the first place While I clung, I clung like I was holding onto a frayed rope The idea of you, the lifetime I thought we would live together, the future I believed was a reality. I fell in love with our ideas. The words we said together through our hot breath. The sound of the echo of our laughs in a room. The good times. I held on to those memories of you even in a **** storm of bad. For years I called out your name through that same storm Hoping you would hear my voice and find your way back to me Believing we would collapse into each other again and everything would be how it was, how you said for so long things would be. But the thunder was too loud. The clouds covered your face And the lightening struck the earth hard and severed the ground right between where we stood together. I loved you like a child loves Deeply But doesn’t know how to express. I loved you with flaws and rough edges and plenty of mistakes But with kisses and kindness too. I loved you with poems and songs, Romance and gestures that were seldom reciprocated. I felt you on what I believed was a beautifully real level, but it was one sided. The pain that hides within you I held it and tried to learn how to best kiss it softly. I understood your intricacies, deeply and tried to sort through the confusion of why you are the way you are. I gave you excuses but I also had expectations. I tried to be gentle, but I wasn’t always and for that part of me I apologize. I am coming to the realization that A part of me will always be in love with a part of you. A part of me will always miss the shape of you in my bed and the weight of your hands in mine. How we would giggle like young kids, So in love with love and how you would hold me close in the night. But I am walking away from the you I thought that you were And realizing that you weren’t ever really that person to begin with. I am walking on broken glass away from the idea of us Every step hurts But maybe there will be less pain on the other side. Someday. I still carry the good with me in my pocket I have to remember you like that too To remind myself it wasn’t just you, I was part of the problem too. Or I won’t be able to make steps away from the same place I’ve been standing in for years. I have been weighed down by the cinderblock in my throat for as long as I can remember, The words that never came out The lead in my feet My resistance to acknowledge and heal the ugly sharp parts of myself that have cut you. The weight of the bad needs to be acknowledged while I hold hands with the good memories too. that’s the hardest part.. Things were not all bad. You were not entirely a bad person nor was I, There was a time when what we were was beautiful and those versions of us will live in my heart always. We are just simply two people with Too much.

Sakura From the purest petal of a Sakura Tree, to the scent of almonds lingering, to the white silky sheets of a bed always slept in. How it was always the salmon sunshine that made her skin glow. With just a single glance, his knees buckled before him, for such warmness thought only to reside in the warmest batches of milk chocolate, held his eyes open. How she was always surprising him just as clocks rang twelve. He could never win such beauty. Then the day came when the Sakura petals would perform their dance just as winds of blowing magic swirled the surrounding melodies. He thought he could never win such beauty. Unbeknownst to him, he’d been secretly holding onto that victory for years…. Ever since the rain fell as thunder rang on that fateful day where he rescued the Sakura.

My favorite bruise belongs to you A galaxy on my neck The colors change like northern lights And while I act differently I do not want them to fade I would tattoo my colors Colors show the world I am taken Colors show I am willing to give a part of myself to something bigger Colors make the world brighter Northern lights turn even the darkest night bright My galaxy will fade The small colonies created from broken blood vessels will surely die out like a plague Black they called the last How ironic the darkest color is always the first to go --An ode to hickeys

An ode to hickeys
I am tortured by you. you and your lack of words                your lack of emotion With each step you take I fall further behind, and not just because your stride is bigger than mine but because you won't talk to me. The frosted glass window cracks because you built up the pressure inside and it builds and it builds and maybe you don't even realize the explosion your actions would have on me. or lack thereof because maybe to you, there is no such pressure rising There is no shrapnel aimed at you For all I know it's in my head where cocoons break and butterflies emerge And the glass keeps cracking My disjointed mind. that makes something out of nothing day in and day out with every small thing that you do or don't. when that frosted glass window to your mind shatters and the truth comes out and the pieces embed in my skin never to come out Then I'll know it's over. Dig your frosted claws into me Rip open my skin Tear out my heart It loves too much too easily anyway. I yet again wasted my butterflies on someone who was unwilling to give back. a fate I'm doomed to repeat Because the butterflies are never satisfied no matter who they land on and for all I know it's my fault for breeding those bugs in the first place.

Butterfly Torture
I should be saying That I'm thankful For every breath I take But truthfully I'm not. Every time I inhale It's a long draw Of a cigarette bud That isn't mine Forcing me to wheeze And cough up the venom That scorches my lungs I am cursed With the longing To breathe fresh air And rid myself Of what I've become so attached to Just because it's not my nicotine Doesn't mean I'm not addicted to it Addicted to dying Addicted to the thrill of wondering If this will be My last cough Quitting isn't my choice I'm not the one Who lights up With shaking fingers Shielding a flame from the wind I'm just the one Who enjoys The ashtray full of burnt consequences I don't have the option To become unattracted To the white clouds Floating around your lips I was already convinced That following you Was as good as resting in the sky Even if my rest Was on pillows Made of poison I can't say I'm thankful For the intoxicatingly Toxic air That you spoon fed me But I sure am blissful I'm not stupid enough to think Thankfulness and blissfulness Are the same thing I am smart enough to know That honestly I'm no better than you Even if I wanted to be You never offered me My own cigarette to smoke But standing next to you I'm as good as dead.

Second Hand Smoke
I enjoy going to places you have been I like to think that I'm walking where you did and our feet are touching with every step People say that I'm like you in many ways That I don't want to conform to the world But rather live beside it That I adventure Not for the view But for the message That I don't know were I'm going But it looks like I know how to get there And it only make me wish I knew you So maybe I could know me

Knowing You
I can't breathe Let me breathe There isn't air anymore I can't breathe No one hears me I have such soft screams But I'm still screaming I'm still a person I think I should stop That's my problem I never know when to stop Why can't I make decisions Sure I'll do that since you suggested it Who am I? I am the walrus Yup I'm gone And it's so late remember when we use to stay up all night I think about that all the time I can't get back on my schedule I need to just let it go But I can't How many sunrises did we watch together How many cigarettes did we smoke How much closer were we to each other to death And now I've run out of air Maybe that's why we didn't sleep Because we knew our time was numbered You say you saw this coming I really didn't to everyone's dismay I thought I was making a choice And then I couldn't do it But I couldn't do it now either I can't keep jumping person to person You both should have left I wanted that But I'm afraid to be alone I'm afraid of myself And I'm afraid of the dark silence is my biggest fear And my farthest goal I miss my clocks I miss cat And I miss you I can't believe I don't remember what you smell like anymore That's ****** up Can I smell you or is that a no I'm suppose to be learning how to read social cues from people now I can't only have one emotion they said More like all of them combined I think I've lost it Dude you broke me But its okay I like this Broken means I don't have to worry about breaking Maybe you were right It wouldn't be the first time

You told me you loved me, but it was just a lie. My hands? They shake. My eyes? They cry. My heart? It hurts. I feel empty inside. My legs? They won't work anymore, the pain inside is to abide. My voice is so rusty, I won't speak anymore. I can't believe you said you won't speak to me, my heart, it tore. i miss you. i miss you. did i mention? i miss you. I miss you.. i miss you i still miss you. I miss your hugs. I miss your kiss, I miss the way you'd look at me, everything there is to miss. I need to stop, I need it now. You are just a lier, now take a bow. for making me hurt, for making me cry. God, I hate you. Get out, goodbye.

Pretend
As pictures fade and the temperature rises... Her heart, plays no part I'm no man of surprises. Why are you so mesmerizing? Why can't I shake this temptation? Why do her grips make me sick? Why am I suddenly shaking... Eh I can see what she feels I've become her *** appeal Is love truly real? Am I just her final meal? As she cooks up a thought that's unconscious. She suddenly gets astonished Men lie, men are deranged Please, don't dare make a promise. But baby, can I be honest? Oh wait, All men lie.. So let's let lust become a must Forget that we ever tried. Mhh Taste of disaster Mhh Hearts moving faster **** This wasn't part of my plan Your ego is harsh Your mind is cluttered Makes it hard to be your man. (Piano) Hard to be your man. But I do what I can.. I matched your heart with my life What a perfect blend. Simple words to describe her My stomachs become lighter Flying high, with these butterflies I think I might...like her. I Do.

"You're crazy, I'm insane! But...I like you"
Loneliness consumes me though in the kind arms of another Such a great heart as his suffers at my dead touch. But every touch brings up in me a shudder And the image of your face hits away my crutch. I want to return his light that waits reaching out to me
 But only answer with a silent glow of memory. Souvenirs of you, so oblivious and far at bay Both caring and not, dancing your life away. His arms grab mine, trying to shake me awake. His blue eyes midnight, yours were summer skies I can’t break away from thoughts of mistakes And can only stare back, and just apologise. . The warmth of your skin, arms rocking me in the night Block my sight as if engraved onto my eyes Dancing with you as in a desperate fight Begging his forgiveness, as life is my disguise.

After the Ballet
To move on in a week After two years Like i never existed So i ask my walls As your stand-ins If you ever miss it You live across the street But theres still to much distance To even speak I'll change who i am And hope that the best part of me Wasn't yours to keep And be born anew Here's to the past And what its taught me And to all who ask me "I'm not broken, just bend I feel empty but im not spent And someday my body,bed and heart won't be for rent." This is to move on.

To Move On
One day I hope To scream  through a hole in the ozone And hear it hit the empty vacuum of space To know God isn't there . I hope to one day Look at your picture and see someone I don't know To find no beauty there. One day I hope To look in the mirror And see my reflection And not find my father there. Today I woke up With a load in my heart I have carried it for ages I hope today to let it go.
