If I carved the words "I love you"
into every inch of my skin,
would you believe them?
Would you believe me?

If I painted a picture of my heart
with the very blood that it pumps,
would you cherish it?
Would you cherish me?

If I promised that there was no one else,
that there was only you,
would you accept that?
Would you accept me?
Would you accept me?
The first thing you notice is I'm different and you wonder what it is i want out of life. You might see my scars and softly whisper "did you use a knife?" and I'd quickly turn away, in fear of humiliation. And you'd understand because words are not always needed for communication. And you'd try to give me a fancy speech on how it wouldn't help asking me what the motive was, sharply I'd reply "and if it does?!" And I'd turn away once again and offer my apologies, you'd ask me what's my sign, and I'd ask what sadness had to with astrology. Then I'd peak up and quietly mumble "Leo" and you'd say "ahh a warrior, a king, a hero", and that's when you saw the sorrow in my eyes,  "but Kings shouldn't cry" and I'd shout "well humans shouldn't lie!" And in that very moment you will know that I'm hurt, I'm damaged, just broken. You'd see that even when the words haven't been spoken. You might wonder how I got such a chaotic brain. I'd tell you blame it on the chemicals rushing through my veins  And if while we're in deep conversation and you ask me what's the strongest drug I've ever tasted, I'll look deep into your eyes and I'd tell you her name. and you'd probably look at me in confusion and think that I'm insane. And sadly, you're probably right, because love does that to a person. But see, read closely, and you'll find, love is not the most addicting drug, no the strongest drug is the human mind. And the tears will start to fall as i mumble her name again. You'd quickly grab my hand and question if she was a friend. Breaking down, I'd try to explain the emotions that i felt. " an unbearable pain, i helplessly watch as my heart slowly melts" it's like a bittersweet euphoric pain, and i die a little more each time i say her name. And even without rain, my days are always long and cold, because it wasn't just my heart and sanity, she also stole my soul.
It's never been said out loud.
It's more of a mutual understanding
hanging heavy in the air
I don't want pity, I need clarity
Yes or No.
I cringe at the wait
Will you love me forever or let me go?
He fell in love,
With the idea of her.
But he realized too late
that ideas aren't people
and they never do
what you expect.
People aren't things to dream about.
People are imperfect beings
And they don't fit into
Your misunderstood notions.
Foolish ideas, foolish emotions,
Now he's her fool,
Juggling his own life
For her entertainment.
I am in awe of the limitless nature of the human mind
How it stretches infinitely inwards
Containing a private universe that would be forever in isolation
Unless that individual chooses to launch out shooting stars
Rocket ships from other worlds in the form of music, poetry, art
We are sending satellite signals out from our galaxies
Desperately holding cups to our ears
Tightrope walking on the string theory
Because the world needed yet another teenage poem with space imagery.
As we all have someone in our lifes we love or hate... vengeance is bittersweet. Id love to go bust down the door of her house. And not **** her, but her family... to hurt her soul, like shes done mine. Have her stand there alone with nothing left but emptiness... but I cant. It would destroy me,  take my "heaven". **** maybe hell wouldnt be so bad if I got in with the right people. But im scared. I love life and my biggest fear is death. For a man with nothing, I feel I have the most to lose... myself in bitter sweet nothingness...
