They said “I miss the old you” without realizing they helped **** him. Now my heart vibrates in silence notifications on, but nobody gets through. I put my feelings on Do Not Disturb the night I got tired of rereading dry replies. Funny how “seen” became a form of abandonment, and “I’m just busy” started sounding like goodbye. Now I love people like dim streetlights love rain present, but never fully touching. Because once you teach your heart to stop answering, even warmth starts feeling like an unknown number.

Heart on DND
And I'm sorry for loving you Because I know it wasn't real love And I know it was wrong. But you make me spin. I know you know quadrants I could never be what you need You gave me a taste and ripped it away and I'm done. You weren't cruel, stated intentions. It was me who said "maybe " and "because" and it just, won't fly with you. It wasn't real It wasn't real. All I need is your approval. I fall at your feet and all you are is a boy, and that's scary for a boy. I'd like to be your friend but it's only when I'm drunk I can be brave enough to give you recommendations and music. You probably never think of me You're only here for her I get it I know I'm not enough I know I'm not good. I'm grateful you even breathe in my direction. I should be more grateful you expend oxygen to occasionally speak to me. I'm not worth the time. I'm not worth Anything.

A Prizm's Eyes
*I'm a black dog with a torn heart you are carved out of light heavier then rocks my bowels a crumbling fortress dire in my emptiness you make my blood run down dark gutters to the city of your legs pooling at your soft pink feet i strain in prayer for your love a black dog in panic i run seven miles a day to **** you my body lean and wire muscle wet women look on dreaming as i search for you in their faces i run killing myself till your dead all curving sadness and broken creel a hallowed crypt of desolation you a sword through me farewell*

Black Dog
Your eyes set me on fire But instead of putting me out, You watched me burn And now I am nothing but dust

Burning in a Love that Never Was
Our hearts are such fragile things But they will not be swayed They soar like a pair of wings They won't be disobeyed Our hearts break When they crack, they don't go back Our hearts ache They won't give in, until they win I've tried many times To defy the wishes of my heart I've paid the price of my crimes The consequences are **** No matter how many times I deny It becomes no less true My silence you need not buy I have already given it to you I can't even lie to myself No matter how I try To put my emotions on a shelf To tell them goodbye I cannot deny The feelings inside I try and try But they will not hide

A Stubborn Heart
I want to dig a hole and bury the emotions that rise inside me for you I feel sorry when I see them swell and rise only to be met by a silent stone like shore of your heart so I want to dig a hole and bury the emotions even before they swell rise up and come crashing down the hole I dig would need to be quite wide and deep to contain the range and depth of emotions that arise inside me for you the emotions which you ignore and don't want to know the emotions which you feel but have learnt to un-feel the emotions which you browse and carefully skip once I bury them in the big hole that I dig you will never be able to see them and will never need to ignore or feel or skip then it will be all clean calm, clear and free once I have sterilised my conversations from all trace of emotions when I would have buried them in the biggest and widest hole that I can dig

burial of emotions
I feel the curve of your palm Like a phantom ache, And know that this impression Has permanence. Pondering the dust devils In mid-fall Your presence coalesces Like those phenomenal vortexes That spring up unexpectedly Swirling pieces of a world That is slowly falling Asleep. Snowflakes drifted in winter Occasionally catching mates To dance to earth with, And alone I traced And remembered patterns in the ice With initials scrawled. The world was a contradiction Of flowers and ice And I marveled at the strength it takes For a tiny seedling To briefly break through the Weight of the World. One more glimpse, One more chance, when the sun bathes the earth And children robed like a flock of crows Take a stretch of paper Relinquishing them To the real world. One more moment to see How the span of seasons Can change everything And nothing.

The Seasons Changed Everything. And Nothing.
i want to look dead (but not actually die), maybe then you'd notice me, i should give it a try. my lips (like your eyes) would be blue as the sea, my hair (like your words) would flow with such ease. i could grasp your attention and hold on to it tight so you would not leave in the dead of the night. my skin smooth as porcelain, as white as a cloud, perhaps then you might have the strength to say aloud how much you adore me and how much you care, how much you truly want me to be there. but this is all hypothetical, i mean, i'm still alive and that's what divides us, confirms you aren't mine. you are too filled with life (if that could ever occur) and all that i am is simply a blur. i want to look dead (not actually die), maybe then you'd notice me, i should give it a try.

((it probably wouldn't change things))
And why is it shameful for a suicide to be fuelled by love? why is love not good enough for you? do you know the heartbreak behind love? the stabbing pain deep inside your stomach when you see the one you love embracing another the pressure to be perfect the loss of passion the gain of boredom the desperation when you feel them slipping through your fingers the harshness of a reality without them a reality so pure and plain that it seems useless to live there to carry on without them because in the end, what are we without love? mindless, heartless, broken, bland. don't you dare tell me that love is not enough the sadness of a broken heart, is enough to send anybody toppling over the edge. slipping away.
