The purest of loves is that
when you see her happy
in the arms of another
rather than your own
and be content to know
that her heart is safe
Everything felt like a competition
I felt like I was not appreciated
I gave up on having your attention
Cause maybe to you I didn't matter
To you I should've pushed harder
I should've been much better
I lived life knowing I was not enough
Always know that I will never be
Cause at the end of the day
You'd point out somebody else
And you would always say
That person is far better than me
Sometimes it does not motivate you cause at one point you'll break knowing you're not good enough

A Simillacrum
Sever the link from here to worlds apart,
what boon does an artist still possess?

Nothing but a vessel for extreme emotion,
disconnected from greater creativity.

Left with the words yet no meaningful
purpose. All

that's left is me.
Another in the welcome fold of aching
hearts with too

much time to spare, fingertips dipped in
instant speed.

Uh oh
She's gone

Into the ocean floor
Into the forest
Out in space
Floating away

Uh oh
She won't come back

Trying to tell her the truth
But her head turns away
Whatever she hears will come out through the other ear

I don't want to talk to a wall

Uh oh
She's gone

Uh oh
I can't help her no more

I love her
But she's far away

Hope one day you'll realize

The Burned

Anger.
Red Hot.
Usually a little is fine on the side,
But mine came with a lot.
By mine, I mean my heart.
At first,
the flames were useful.
Little sparks,
Reminding me to be careful...
To beware the burns
Of passerbys
Or permanent residents.
Painful, but with purpose.
The beauty in the fire was lost with time,
Though.
They flames grew
They morphed
They changed
Into a reckless blaze of heat.
Enough to keep you warm at a distance,
But strong enough to crackle unsuspecting flesh.
So beware
Of the uncontrolled fire in my heart.

Beware The Burned.
They burn, too.

I

always

          Find

Freedom

               In

          Disappointments

                By

                   Changing

               My

             Perspectives

There are times in life
When
You are silent
Yet
The words are working
Themselves
Out
Until the day
You
Can set them
Free
The deeper the issues
The longer
the
Silence
I’m not ready
Yet
I’m here
Breathing, hurting
Taking a pause
