an effort to make amends
adept Jun 2018
i have started a fire that i tend to
chase with gasoline, in effort to put it out.

i have obliterated all in my
path of destruction and can’t seem to
slow down.
adept Jun 2018
eventually you get used to others
being sorry, you get tired of the pity
and would rather them say
nothing at all. all you want is
someone to talk to that relates.
and at the moment there is no one...

we left and escaped with you,
not knowing you were what
we were running from.

bending over backwards
adept Jun 2018
i found that i am not entitled
to those who care for me most.
mainly because my heart
is incapable of returning the favor.
i try, believe it or not.

this is [not] the end...
adept Jun 2018
and though i protect you,
i need saving too
... for one of us

forever fearful
adept Jun 2018
there are often times i am caught in a
position i can’t handle.
i want more than anything to make everyone  happy, not being able to do
that tears me apart. it’s an endless
cycle of what happens to be
my biggest fear; disappointment.

but i have learned, that no matter how hard i try, i can’t save the world
forever unfinished business
Jun 2018 · 176
i love you.
adept Jun 2018
the words are foreign but the feeling is farmiliar.
and i’m happy for you...

no empathy: already fallen
adept Jun 2018
i don’t know what to do with myself

i am, on my own, putting myself into even deeper trouble.

and this time i looked up, thinking that would make me stop digging deeper.

but i have come to realize that it didn’t stop me

and that i am in the midst of my inevitable and predicted downfall.

the never ending cycle.
adept May 2018
when you learned how to sleep with your
eyes open, you also climbed out of our grave
from six feet under. i stayed behind, and that's okay...
adept May 2018
we cluelessly create conversation
suddenly unaware of the world around us,
out of care and out of loyalty for the people we claim to love.
i am so sorry, i even convinced myself that this was the truth
May 2018 · 165
burnt out.
adept May 2018
i dug with my own hands
and my own shovel.
only to find that,
fires can’t burn six feet under.
May 2018 · 139
i wanted an escape too.
adept May 2018
it was all fun and games until it wasn't.
running around in circles, a mind and matter situation.

life goes on?
adept May 2018
Why is it always the best people that we lose first?

since i was young i was told
over and over again
that life wasn't fair,
everything happens for a reason,
and that when we look at death
we have to see that person and know we will
see them again in the future.
but i look at it now and
don't understand anymore.

if everything happens for a reason
then explain this to me, how could
someone bring bad and suffering upon
a person knowingly? why would you do
this if you know it will hurt others?

it's in times like this i tend to lose my sanity,
hope, and faith.

i know you too well.
adept May 2018
i almost feel bad, then i remember you deserve it.
you deserve all the wrong that could be felt,
and everyone tells me to forgive, but how can i
when you gave me something i will never forget?

and even still no one understands.
even if they act like they do.

it was your actions that gave me trust issues
and because of that, the "i love you" that is
supposed to come from the heart, is all a lie.
not everything is as good as it seems
adept May 2018
this is how i know you are a bad friend.
you know the game,
but don't know you're the player.
secrets are meant to be kept
not to be vied in your selfishness.
but go ahead, keep doing what you do best,
we'll see who wins this time.
more like the inability to make good judgements. sorry not sorry.
May 2018 · 375
she was an open book,
adept May 2018
maybe it's just you afterall,
you need to realize that
you have no place to speak
when you are just as bad.
Your act could only last so long.

the torture is relentless
adept May 2018
it officially can not get any worse than this.
i feel like we have regressed and went back in time, and that is the worst feeling.

the past is filled with emotions and actions solely with the potential and willingness of evil.

strangers with memories.
adept May 2018
he is genually happy when he looks at you,
i have never seen anything like it.
so no matter what i feel, i can't interfere,
in fear that something so great would be
yet again
demolished by a feeling i can't help.
"It's so hard to believe"
adept May 2018
i don't know what to do,
i feel so guilty and would
switch places with you if i could.
but the world and the way it works
is cruel and doesn't work like that.
adept May 2018
when it comes to her,
you are harsh, to the point,
angry with anything going wrong.
but show no care to anything else around you,
no recollection of how the other
person that you are talking to will feel.

but the truth is i know what you are feeling
better than you do. and even if you don't want to,
trust me.
"don't ever talk about it"

belie.
adept Apr 2018
they call me a liar.
and i admit that i am,
but the thing is that
i don’t care because
i stopped feeling a
long time ago.
except that is a lie too
"Am I the only one I know, waging my wars behind my face and above my throat"
adept Apr 2018
what have we done?
lying gets us nowhere
and now we are in deep.

i am not sure how to feel
or how to react but i know
that nothing good will come
from this.
adept Apr 2018
i feel so strongly about you
and try to show it.
maybe you are just blind
or maybe i am just
making too many excuses for you.

i don't deserve this, i have done
nothing wrong.
but i still feel guilty

and yes, of course i have a close friend
that can listen so this weight
can be lifted
but if i told them
i could hurt them,
and make them feel the same way.

no empathy: the depth
adept Apr 2018
i don't think i will ever realize the true depth
of trouble i am getting myself into

because no matter how far i am under,
i never look up

and maybe this flaw will
be my downfall

because afterall, i'm living a tragedy
adept Apr 2018
I have been in this
Position one too many
Times, and this time
Hurts the worst.
But the reason I help,
The reason I care, is
Because I realize that
You have been there too
And I look up to you for
Getting through it.
adept Apr 2018
so many People talk about me behind my back,
They are claiming to be my friend and
make fun of me.
have They ever thought "maybe she is tired of it
and thats why she doesn't laugh"?

i wish i was different too and
if only you knew what i do to make
others happy. but i will give you a hint
and it involves making myself miserable.

and all i need you to do is stop and think
for only one second before you speak of me.
adept Apr 2018
People see through to you
even when you don't want
them to.
So don't do this to yourself,
not when I can't help.
adept Apr 2018
I was right to keep
To myself.
It would be worse for
Me in the long run.

A Universe of Hurt
adept Apr 2018
i try to be okay,
or seem that way at least
but the ground is flying out
from under me.

i am not in my right mind,
it has become too much
and i have to get out of here.
"I was below empty"
adept Apr 2018
Though you only mean to protect me
a lot of the time you do just the opposite.
adept Apr 2018
i'm worried about You
please be okay
i can't lose You too
don't put Yourself down
it's not Your fault
know that You can talk to me
know that i am reaching out
please talk to me
please
please

Silver Lining
adept Apr 2018
i am drowning and silently screaming for help.

i am weeping as you ask how i am.

i am in the midst of a dark time.

i am in deep and can't pull myself up.

i am an accident waiting to happen.

i am a bomb threatening to go off.

But Yeah, Of Course I'm Fine

adept Apr 2018
A year ago my life changed,
terminal illnesses did the deed.

The deed that was simply a
mystery in front of millions
that had no idea how to go
about solving it.

Cancer.

And now it is done with and
a year has passed,
but with the passing of time
came the passing of grief
as We Have Been Cured.
adept Apr 2018
My vision has been contorted.
All colors no longer blend
but rather stand out and by
themselves. All lives and
positions seem different from
the angles they are presented in .

A Lapse of Sanity
adept Apr 2018
I get in the car and
Burst into tears.
I am not sure what
Has gotten into me,
There has been a lot
On my mind I guess.
I am starting to believe
Everyone’s opinions-
But I have to be strong
For my own good.
Don’t judge the people around you, trust me they have enough going on without you joining in.

forever gaping wounds
adept Apr 2018
you like to rip me to pieces
every chance you get
then pick me back up
and try to put me back together
like a puzzle,
execpt now, i am too damaged to be
put back together,
my pieces don't fit together like
they are supposed to-
like everyone else.
and even some are left missing...
to be specific
the only piece truly missing
would be the one
in between my third and forth rib,
on the left side of my chest.

2052 miles.
adept Apr 2018
A distance.
You are a part of me,
that was taken away.
Little did I know that with out you,
I fall apart completly.

I look at your face,
behind you an airport;
where you leave me,
for who knows how long.

And you never know how much I break,
and I don't want you to ever find out.
Though you often see glimpses of this-
calling you crying, desperate for
someone to hear me out.

Don't leave me again,
I can't take it anymore,
you mean more to me than
anyone else.
Don't forget that.

I will always need you,
and one day we will find a way
for you to stay.

But for now, you leave tomorrow.
But for now, I will keep breaking.
But for now, we will keep wishing.

And the next time I see you I will try
to fill you in on life here.
But I don't ever think you
will keep up.

So I will see you later,
whenever later may be.
adept Apr 2018
I have a tendency
To worry about others
Who don’t seem to care about me.
Scared for them even,
Which is  weird
Because the only thing that has
Really ever scared me
Would be disappointing
Others.

Until Death Dies
adept Apr 2018
You’ve changed.
Everything about you has changed.
You took your flowers and
Trees and ripped them from the ground,
And now I can’t recognize you.
Your past was mine and your present
Saw through to me.
But since you changed I feel blind.

Sometimes I feel you
Don’t want to come home again

We all miss you here
And you know it,
But that is the thing;
You don’t care what others think.

Scarred
adept Mar 2018
You told me that I'm not enough,
You left me fearful of myself-
embarrassed even...

And yet again I am wanting
the ground to swallow me whole.
At least I will be away from you,
which is for my own good even though
I want to be with you more than anything.
adept Mar 2018
You sit on the couch and stare
at the black screen of the tv.
You can't fall apart now,
we need you more than you
could imagine, so it hurts when you hurt.

I can't take it just as much as you can't,
you were the one to raise me and I can
now walk in your shoes; so I, of anyone knows,
you need to take a step back.

Don't do this to yourself, don't do this to me.
Keep composure- i can't get my words out fast
enough for you to hear because if it lasts too long,
you won't listen.
adept Mar 2018
And now you're leaving,
we almost got through it,
and now you're leaving.

You think its better but its worse;
leaving me not knowing what to do.
Leaving me with a family that's yours.

Someone help, we are drowning in
anguish and can't save ourselves.
Mar 2018 · 136
i'm crushed.
adept Mar 2018
We met you again
just months ago.

And today you have helped
pull my family apart.

So good job,
I hope you're happy.

Clever
adept Mar 2018
I know there is little chance of you seeing this.
But it is just a reminder to you,
that sometimes people have to do
things that are unconvinient for them to make a
healthier, better life for you.

People are sick, and another person
may have to take themselves away to
make them better.
Mar 2018 · 104
I Trust[ed] You.
adept Mar 2018
I can hear and see your lies from
miles away.

Maybe the distance is a gift but
That remains unknown.

I enjoy when you are happy,
But it never last long.

Soon enough, you scream-
you hit.

Which is followed with more lies.
Your actions have caused more hurt than imagined.

Nothing seems to ever stop you,
Not even the love of your life taking all you have known away.

What I remember most is when I had to scream back,
telling you to stop.

You Never Listened.

Adrift
adept Mar 2018
I've lost control

I don't know what's wrong

I want the ground to swallow me whole

I want to run

And I want to minimize damage done to myself,
Which is only done by pushing you
Away.
