Too Late

taught to hide
to leave alone
to push aside
I ****** up
taught to show nothing
to put a smile on
to not allow anyone in
I ****** up
taught to
**** up
I never knew what I was doing
I wanted more
but couldn't show it
couldn't say it
couldn't do it
when you asked
I ****** up

Guilt

The crisp sounds
of the trail
the pure nature
the peace of it all
yet
A headache that was too much to bare
made my nose drip blood
and taint some purified leafs
Guilt began to strangle me
I picked up the two stained leafs
the leafs illuminated the color red
against its dark brown canvas
my nose was still bleeding
The crisp sounds were shuttering about
I fall to my knees
with the leafs in hand
I look up to the branched covered sky
and think
Guilt
the feeling tightens around my neck
and my wrists
making me let go of the leafs
the pressure in my skull made the blood from my nose spew
the constriction grew stronger
and stronger
as I fall to my side
and grasp for one last breathe
i think
Guilt

once again, reality
took a back seat
on the ride
that had passengers
screaming
into the night
to go right...

RIGHT

as you took another left
blinded by unique sight
as your forehead pressed
against my breast
the tears of your fears
left a trail of destruction
across the only path left
to you, or me

don't cry my fragile one

the empty hours that you face
as the darkness closes in
while your head aches
are colorless to your soul
because you hide
under the sheet, you retreat
then you fold

Stay with me,
the one who colors your world
don't weep for a memory
of a life that wants answers
cry if you must
but only if you know
that as a beautiful flower
you are sure your petals
will never unfurl

You sit behind the drivers wheel
and stare straight at the bend
only to accelerate towards
the end point
wondering when the straight
will come to the end

tears fall to the pillow
under which lays
your heavy heart
tears fall down
upon my cheeks
wondering when
we will part


When will you drive away
without a backward glance
never knowing I'm sitting
beside you in the back seat
looking out the back window
witnessing the destruction
left behind...

*I hate to ask
Sometimes, we are the driver and sometimes we are the passenger but when it comes to Mental Illness, we are all potentially victims of the same wreck :-(

when you are gone,
i take long naps to pass the time and dream of your return,
smoke aimlessly until i time travel, feel this unwhole feeling, that i want to forget and try hopelessly to fill when you aint here, the struggle becomes real, a cruel, cruel world in which i struggle to fit in, a burden that arises again and again.. making my own decisions without your consent...
         i often find myself into some ****.
*** reality always finds its way in, just like a creeping shadow
         when you are gone
i learn of hypocracy, i know scrupulosity
intrusive thoughts are always blinding, a confusion that is binding.
sometimes i cant tell the good from the bad so thats when i sit alone and
         get high, get ******
yes pride keeps this inside but in my mind im never too proud to beg you "come back home to me babe, come home."
come home! come homeeee :(

Lord Byron
The Moralists tell us that Loving is Sinning,
  And always are prating about and about it,
But as Love of Existence itself’s the beginning,
  Say, what would Existence itself be without it?

They argue the point with much furious Invective,
  Though perhaps ’twere no difficult task to confute it;
But if Venus and ***** should once prove defective,
  Pray who would there be to defend or dispute it?

A sip of alcohol by any means
Unbuttons her jeans
A tightly rolled ****
Will open her legs to any folk

For her lips are no longer sealed
With alcohol soaked breath
& Slowly her clothes are pealed
Dignity choked to death
Every time he kisses you,
he tastes her
On your lips.
Never once does she kiss you
And taste him
On your lips.
