I don’t think I love you anymore

I mean I think I will always love you
But,
I don’t think I’m in love with you anymore.

My tears
Have flowed
For years
For you
Only you

Now,
My eyes are dry

egg hot pot
I look at the blade
with my arms ready
red lines everywhere
blood dripping down like little lakes
flowing through the crevices
until they meet
if I cut the wrong vein someday
all the rivers will amalgamate into a matrix of red ocean

Do trees long for the leaves they have spilled?
Do lovers long for the wounds they have healed?
Do warm rivers long for the winters deep chill?
Do dark nights long for the days concealed?

I to have learned to long,
to yearn,
to thirst,
For the warmth of the wind, the cool of the moon,
The pleasant sigh of a newfound love,
For words just newly learned,
I will long.

I will long,
For all things touched by you.
Pick me up,
And open my cover,
But be careful,
Cause I might crumble,
Read my fine print,
Just don’t mock the way I am,
I’ve been through alot since then,
Drugs,
Fights,
Heart breaks,
And more,
Are all the things you’ll find,
In my novel.

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

I hide my behavior
to keep you safe.

I keep quiet
not to offend you.

I agree with you
to keep you happy.

I walk on eggshells
for you and
it’s never enough.

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

but when the truth
arrives at that
final moment;

jaws will drop
plates will shatter
dogs will growl

and
you’ll be long gone
after seeing what
a ghastly beast
I am

but for now

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

to keep us
together.

hit me with a brick
throw me at a wall
where does this come from
i don't know at all

While I laugh
Someone is crying

While I dance
Someone just found out they lied

While I can't sleep on my bed
Someone wishes they had a blanket

While I eat
Someone starves

While I walk
Someone loses their parent

While I live
Someone dies

When I remember,
I wish them to feel better
I send them some of my momentary joy
Because maybe
That's how miracles are born
I feel bad that I'm the lucky one, so I do what I can even if it does nothing, and is just a small thought

Not one of my best 😬
