I become a ticking time bomb Right when my mood swings Starts to play hide and seek with me It shows up at my doorstep Enters without even a ring I am not afraid of it not knocking Before entering my sacred space For the person I become after My mood swings play with me Like I am a Voodoo doll to it Moulding me into shapes or figures That will hurt me and leave a scar Drives me like it's favourite car on road Just with one not so decent surprise It drives me with alcohol brimming out Certainly, I am vicariously liable for all Although, there is no time leash Mood swings leave the home When it has done enough damage Sometimes even beyond repair Tying my hands tight with remorse That I am unable to mend I am out of control When my mood swings kick in As soon as I calm down after its departure My real life and damage Starts to punch in my gut real bad I am in an endless struggle with it.

Mood Swings
Tic, tic, tic BOOM. Ticking. I am a ticking time bomb and I’ve been doused in gasoline. I feel like I’ve been snagged on a fishing line and I’m being reeled in. A fish hook in my heart? My heart is liable to drain. Fully. Have you seen a drained heart? Empty. It looks empty about as empty as I feel. This is all over the place. I guess it is true what they say, you lose your mind before you lose your life.. which would mean Death should be honored. I am close to Death and Death is close to me.

Untitled (for now)
you would run you would run fast and away from me if I ever told you how I go to sleep each night imagining your laying in my arms your leg slipped between mine our feet sticking out the end of the blanket with your socks matching and mine, not even the same size you would run you would run so fast and away from me if I ever told you how I wake up each morning imagining it is your hand that stretches out of the warmth of our embrace to face the coldness of my room to turn off the alarm before burying your face into my arm saying just five more minutes you would run you would run so fast and so far away if I told you that the only reason I chose to live is so i do not disappoint you that my only motivation is you which makes it so much worse when I sit there in late nights a bade in one hand and the other over my mouth tears and silent screams escaping as i realise this ends in one of two ways with death after a long and happy life or death when you realise I am a dead soul trying not to lie and cheat so run, run now and run fast for I am a time bomb but I shall throw myself away so I do not take you with me

you would run
They touched my heart Never left Not the first time Not the second time Not even the last "We can make it" "I can't stop talking to you" I smiled Not because I believed them But because you proved to me You cared more than you want to show I know its a lie Even if you don't Its not that I don't believe in us In you Its that i know us And i know you You want to fight battles alone Even if I try to cover you You'd push me out of the way As far as you can You don't want people there You wont let me be there So I'll let you lie again Believing with every ounce Every spot in space that you see That you and I can do this But I know the darkness will creep in soon And make this go away Just know you are my love Not only in this life But every other life we live in

Beautiful liar
I guess this is it, I guess its finally done. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I knew I wasn't the one. I don't know what I was expecting from you I know I can't expect it to be me you choose. All I know is I was certian I was ready to start pushing you away, and in this time you've found someone to fill in my absent space. For the record with that I will never be okay. It is what it is, and I must let you go, I never wanted to loose you I don't know why I hadn't already lost hope. As time has moved on from you there is no sound, just the ticking of me, I'm now a time bomb. I'm small & short fused, feeling like I gave you all my love & you've taken it just to abuse. As my fuse grows shorter' you distance yourself further. I feel like my feelings are nothing but ****** I can feel my self exploding because I've held on for too long.. Suddley silence, no more ticking, from me the time bomb. boom

Time bomb.
I hate the person in which I've become, Holding resentment for all that I've done. Facing my demons rather than to turn and run, Heart beats in a rhythm, to you are the drum. I understand that you must hate me, HA! I know you must, This is obvious because. I. Hate. Me, so why wouldn't you? Aren't all those things you've said to be nothing but true? That no matter what, there's no way I can earn back your trust. I would scream, I would punch and I would pray it do good, Cause right now, what even is the use in being me? Lost in the darkness I held at bay restricting my ability to see. If things turned sour now, It'd be I who understood. I'm done being me and all that I've become No longer do I wish to remain as I am Any effort to strip myself of this inner self, shall do me good I know ive lost you in my life, im just sure of it... This be the case...im sure the world will lose something in its life What even would be the point? A life without you just isn't worth living
