Though things may hurt today.
I have faith they will get better someday.
My friend,
I admire everything you do,
and it's not hard to love somebody like you.
Though it may be hard to see.
You mean a lot to me.
My friend,
It pains me to see you depressed,
Just know how far you progressed.
Though rough times may appear.
Just know I'll always be here.
My friend,
Never see yourself as a nusince.
We both know that's not true, since.
I enjoy your company.
Though I have not been around a lot.
Just know in me, you have a special place in my heart.
My friend,
Keep your chin up and push through,
Just know, I have faith in you.

Inferno.
Cascading down,
My head,
My eyes,
My skin,
Heart.
Why?
I can't,
Be what ,
you want,
I'm sorry,
But.
Why?
Do you,
Even think
About me,
As much,
As I,
Think about,
You.
Why?
I swear,
I love,
Hurting myself,
I don't,
Understand my,
Emotions,
Why?
I feel,
So betrayed,
But we,
Really never,
Did have,
Anything.
Did we?

I gave you my heart.
You took it.
And smashed it.
Into.
Tiny.
Little.
Pieces.
Yet, I'd still take all the fragments.
And place them right back in your hands.

My demon,
My demon,
How you have corrupted me!
And showing me everything we could never be.
Leaving me to question my morals,
My ideals,
My religion,
For the idea of love.
My demon,
My demon,
How you have played me!
Treating this as if it was a game.
Tugging my heart and leading me along.
I've done everything wrong and done my part.
My demon,
My demon,
How you have fooled me!
Making me believe all that was needed was time.
Making me think my soul was worth it.
I gave you all of me and received nothing from you.
My demon,
My demon,
Here I am left falling from promised land.
Led astray by your lies.
All for the idea of love.
As I crash down, you're nowhere to be found.
Lie here, broken, bitter, and crying.
No salvation in sight.
But you reached out your hand.
Leading me on again.
Plunging me further into jealously.
Still following without clear answers.
All for the idea of love.
The longer I follow.
The more I deteriorate from my beautiful, angelic state.
Leading me to question if it's worth it or not.
"Of course" I tell myself, knowing anything - or anyone worth it takes time.
Continuing on and on.
On and on.
Catching a glimpse of my reflection.
Noticing my physical state.
Trying to hard to improve my handsomeness.
Trying to look good for you.
Yet here I am,
Dark circles,
Caffeinated heart,
and shaky knees.
Staring into my own soulless eyes.
...what have I become? Did I do this, or you?
Degraded for this idea of love,
Bastardized for this idea of love,
Defiled by this idea of love.
Yet here I remain.
By your side.
Despite my new state.
An odd aura of comfort and pain.
Seemingly the only thing keeping me sane.

A minute with you is a minute in paradise.
You melt my heart as if it was made of ice.
Nights spent talking with you.
And just laughing about all the cute things you do.
As we reminisce under the stars.
Doesn't feel like we're thousands of miles apart.
Perfection manifested in one person.
And without you my feelings worsen.
So please, stay with me.
And promise you won't leave.
With you I'd spend every minute of every day.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
