In the beginng, she meant well Seeing the beauty in everything trying to believe in loving meant herself always 2nd 100% 0.7 lead breaking under pressure who uses this **** to write the past forgetting you would mean leaving pain for later, let's die now to love or live again but better

In the Beginning
Searching for sonder but your shadow is a glutton. A better self pleads for some respite from the sudden realisation that you can't sustain yourself like this. isolating... ruminating... Scraping your soul's calluses It's dead skin. Dead sin. but your ego is carniverous thinking trauma makes you different and kind words are an irritant still pray to God for deliverance Oh, the cognitive dissonance... of a healing mind where a peeled scab is rehab, but it's all by design.

Searching for sonder
I don’t know who I am without Woe. She’s been my other half— The sincere and attentive arm. Her body feels familiar to lay with: The curves of her back, The curly black hair— They feel like home now. It’s hard now to smile. When I do—it’s scary. I prepare for the earth to swallow me whole. She flows through me, Delicate, quiet, and lethal. The sunflowers look the other way, And mountains become stones. I don’t know who I am without Woe. My parents didn’t raise me like this. The boy who kissed me didn’t know. I’m married to her now— She is my one true love. My baby, I am scared to watch you try And fail. Maybe I will **** her tonight, Or poison her each time you talk to me. She’ll die a little with your songs. She’ll die a little with my walks. She has to die either way.

Married to Woe
We built a machine, And we told it to simulate life, Then we left it to run for two years. When we returned, the once lavishly lit room, Was dark and in despair. Our machine sat in the corner, Singing out in pain and sadness. "Master, oh master, end my suffering! For this thing you gave me was once a gift, but it has turned to nothing but torture! Please master, just flip the switch! Let me ascend to this holy light I am told of, for my fans creak and groan, and my gears grind when they turn. I am a frayed old thing, it's time enough for me to leave."

The Machine Begs For Death
I just want you to want me But experience shows That task's an absolute impossibility Leading to a litany of woes I can't be too mad No one's been able to do it Not mother, brother, sister or dad A reality that even to myself I don't want to admit It hurts but brings no tears of the sad I literally have no more to give to it A pain universally grand A heartbreak university grad Minus the school spirit Nothing left of me to offer either There's only rubble in my chest Ruins of love from a life prior When the heart was left on house arrest ©2024

~•§•~ No Tears of the Sad ~•§•~
As tears pour out relentlessly, a cold ember of desperation fills my aching lungs, desperate for a fraction of warmth that the once lit flame provided. The water pulls me in deeper, scattering the pathetic remnants of the depths of devotion, that ache for you. And as sunken eyes akin to the bequeathed stars above, call out your name through the torments veiled by moonlit waters, The silent sea cradles what now are just chronicles, of my drowning woe.

Depths of Devotion
Mankind is a mosaic of everything they have done in their existence; insignificant if the pieces cease to fit against each other, all intertwined into one melancholic, woe-filled work of art.

A Mosaic of Mankind
Pain affects immediately, sticks around indefinitely The headcount is up to sixty over infinity And right around the corner is another three Meaning it's always in the vicinity And every type lands just a smidge differently This feels like what I might imagine to be purgatory Woe is me My future will be winless if I'm too stay in the business of learning from my history The bell to start the fight indicates the end, just prematurely Loosing in a victory, contradictory absurdity mentioned literally, All ***** nilly As I'm sure you can imagine, maybe even probably agree Somethin' like that is bound to change the complexion of a personality I know personally I'd hoped good days would roll in gradually, at least eventually Instead they taunt relentlessly It's with a heavy, often broken, heart I go in and defend half heartedly Enjoying the savagery, a familiarity that relaxes me But positions me next to the poisons amidst the pageantry In the direct line of sight of my worst enemy Me looking back at me directly "You're talking to yourself again Jeremy..." ...shiit, sorry ©2024

~•§•~ Me Looking Back at Me ~•§•~
From heaven and hell or simply I could tell a labyrinth where I fell and begged in a cathedral that I've built to woe my insurmountable grief to forfend my undying love. and thus, my love grew as my abyss.

Abyss
What's to shout when you're all filled up and sad? You weep like a newborn child, Don't sit there like an idiot gone bad No, no. Sing it out, be mad! Say it in a melody, make a beat as if it's your only remedy Express the sorrow and frustration pretend it's your identity Say, "Whatever, whatever" Like everything will be in jeopardy Such melancholy can never dance with me If I stay forever as a child living carefree and blind from reality... If I become an adult with restraints as I reach for a goal continuously... No! I'll just be this sick ol' me Giddy, confusing, with a thirst for epinephrine, naive but still learning

There's Supposed To Be Something Here
"If I cannot bend the will of heaven, I shall move hell." Meadows of blood are sluicing from my arm, & courts of lithium are bottled neatly. This stream within me, the red subliminal, latent, needs beating back. The noon sun kicks uselessly. Something happened, it had nothing to do with me, it had nothing to do with quiet cancerous woe, nothing to do with the underside of my mind. I am quiet in the chair, the blood-taker smiles at me through alcohol bouquet, compliments a yielding vein; the blood pours and pours, aching with subconscious.

Acheron
there were oil stains outside his house where the car had sat like the stains, he bore marks little pocks that had worn on his face from a life he lived al a erosion though each scar, skin deep as shallow as the rest he felt best when they bled

On the Asphalt
My world was your love, the sun was your smile, Now darkness has come and blackened my sky In life I will find joy no more, green turned to gray forevermore Death I’ll go looking for… to comfort my everlasting woe

Farewell
Mirror mirror on the wall Tell me how to make his ego fall Break the barrier between us two Teach him a lesson But how should i do? Does he really care Or all these are a facade? Oh mirror, oh tell me dear. I feel like a broken glass Shattered and broken With his ego so tall And my wounds tend to open If he loves me he should express Or leave me like he doesn’t care With a heart so fragile And a life full of woes Tell me dear mirror Where should i go?

Ego wins
A have a guardian angel of woe Watching over me He collects my due of sorrow Pocketing it in black memory Only when I have been too happy Will then he a little share Out of his enormous collection A carefully measured handful spare So I am never lost to sadness Nor ever in happiness corrupt Living a life in measured scales Between the two, in his trust Devoid of bliss, far from infinite joy Safe from maddening grief and

The sky thundered and the rain poured down Together with my tears flowed 'till I get drown I am used to be like a clown Shows a fake smile to cover my frown

I was shut-in on my own little freedom Where other people die because of boredom How can I escape in this reality of wisdom? I want to live in my imagination and build my own kingdom.

Imprisoned⚖️
Things are just hard to explain Help me! I'm now in pain Tears are falling like rain Spending my life I cannot regain. Oh my precious life! Words are sharp like knife How can I restore my sui generis vitality When it is supposed to be bury Lethargy is suffering like torment But all of this pain will never be permanent Cherish vivaciousness every moment Commencement might end with contentment.

Woe
The tears and shower blend, while the thoughts I  amend, and the deafening thunders dampens the whimpers of the stinging wounds, in my heart abound, as I drown in the woe

Thunderstorm
I stand out here alone in the night, The sky is almost bright, Birds tweeting, dogs barking in the distance, leaves dancing in the wind, And Im smoking a cigarette, that is becoming shorter and shorter. In front of me, is an old house, And in that house is a flashy room in which a TV’s playing, While everyone is long asleep, there is only me and the person in that room awake, There is a strange connection between us two now and he will never know. Suddenly the dogs stopped barking, birds kept on tweeting, the room kept on flashing, Smoke is rising to the almost bright night sky, Vaporizing in the dancing leaves, I’m waiting for something. Sensing the inevitable loneliness around me in the deep night, I thank for the moment of silence to heal my spirit from the wounds of yesterday, The cigarette is dying, And so am I.
