I want to **** myself
Everyday
Every hour
Every second
And yet I haven't
Because every time the thought occurs
The aftermath seems to play out in my head

I don't want to be
the acknowledgment at the beginning
of a book i'll never read
  to my sister
  to my friend
  to my lover
  gone to soon
  i wish you could read this

I don't want to be
the sad news story that everyone hears
and wishes it weren't real
  a 17 year old
  young and bright
  lots of friends
  left behind family
  greatly missed amongst us all

I don't want to break
my already broken family
even if they are breaking me
  lost a sister
  lost a cousin
  lost a daughter
  sadness engulfs them all
  two families split back to four

I want to leave
And I'll never believe
The world loves me so much
That it will stop in place
Because I take my life
But even if
It's only half the truth
This idea of the aftermath
That would occur
Should I stop my breathing
I'll keep breathing
In
Out
In
Out
Just to see the world continue turning

-r.y.s
If things never get better for me, at least I never made them worse for those around me.

If you let me,
I would kiss you like
we were airport lovers.
The right people who
met at the wrong time.
Because I know you will
constantly be taking flight,
while I stay so heavily grounded
to this place.

you were the reason I didn't **** myself

this doesn't mean you have to love me

what it means is, I will always love you

Red
I fear that my heart
has lost its' color of life.
Cut me open and you will see
black and blue,
a bruise buried deep within me.
Still so young, I know,
but after so many bullets
the force within my ribcage now
stutters and stalls.
Could I survive,
should I replace it with steel?

Do not cry
You'll ruin your make-up

Relapse, n.
a return of a disease or illness after partial recovery from it*

I'm curious as to know if there is a limit here.
Whether or not after all these times
I can still call it "relapsing".
I can't seem to figure out if I have either
partially recovered,
or if what I deal with is a constant that
just takes breaks.
I refuse to place myself in the bubble
of the sentence or two of a
generalized description.
I have relapsed.
But I am so much more than that.

How ironic
that as I constantly reminded you
not to pour all of yourself
into someone who barely gave you
a piece of who they are,
I poured all of myself into you.
Now with nothing in return
I am so ******* empty
and with no one to blame but myself.
Can't you see what I've done?
