"You'll have to ride alone,"
she said as she boarded the cart,
to ride the roller coaster
with the boy she liked.

"I'm used to that,"
I said as I took my seat.
In another life,
it could've been her by my side.

Empty brain, filled mind,
Hollow heart, beats fast.
Shaky hands, tired arms,
Haunted, lives in the past

Glowing green, trapped in cold glass
Air holes poked too small

As the moon sets, they
Fall, one by one

Starved for their beauty,
Left craving something more

But it's okay, right?
We didn't know better

Why breathe when you know you will die,
When you're drowning, why do you attempt to breathe?
The water ,icy and cold like a spike to the chest,
As the water slowly fills your lungs ,burning .suffocating.
When you are bleeding out why do you put pressure on the wound,
Why do you push as you watch the crimson slip through the cracks of your palm?
The blood spilling out. Bleeding. Dying
So next time you ask me why i love when i cant be loved,
Ask yourself why are you breathing when you know you will die?
for the one who got away

I want to melt like frost in springtime
under a gentle sun.
I want to lose myself in the night sky
starstruck.
I want to wander through an endless forest
no turning back.

It was the snow glimmering in winter's bitter light,
How the cloudless sky kissed the treeline,
Soft pine needles beneath my bare feet,
leaving me bewitched.

A lake at sunset.
A moonlit night.
A stroll in the cemetery.

No matter where I run,
I can't help but return to you.

Despite your fear,
Despite your pain,
We stand together.

Our gazes meet,
To ease the grief,
To mend old wounds.

We won't last forever,
But for now I refrain;
For your agony is mine.
