Sometimes,
slamming the
door
and walking
away
just isn't
worth the
rude
satisfaction.
There's something
About listening
To the rain
Fall on the streets
Below
While looking
Out from the
Third story
Window
That I find
So peaceful.

As I hit my
Cigarette
The last few times
Before dying it out,
Like everything I've
Ever dreamt about,
I stop to wonder
Where my life
May go.
I could live to see the
Age of twenty-five,
But I guess time
Only knows.
From what
I have experienced;
whiskey is thicker
than blood.

Two weeks
That’s all it was.
That’s all it ever will be.
My cerebrum became filled,
With your chicken hair,
And your dimpled smile.

Two weeks
Of the sun rising.
Of the darkness taking over.
Pondering the subconscious.
Picking apart each other’s thoughts.

Two weeks
Filled with smiles,
Leaving laugh lines on our young skin.
Kisses until our eyes became tired,
Causing my nerves to short circuit

Two weeks
Was all that fate would give.
To spill our secrets.
To let our paths finally cross.
Until the divide quickly came upon us.

Two weeks
Where the past didn’t matter.
Where the future became unclear.
Your beautiful mind,
Giving sight to my own.

Two weeks
Where our demons started to lose their battle.
War cries slowly silencing.
Fourteen days,
Of peace.

Two weeks**
That’s all it took,
For you to leave your mark,
And then you disappeared.

I woke up
to the sound of
your phone call.

"I love you.", you told me.
No, it doesn't bother me—
not at all.

Sometimes things are better left untold
As long as they dwell in my head,
They do not seem real
And I can convince myself that
Dark thoughts pass
I only have to change my own mind
But when I told you about it
And saw your eyes widen with disappointment
It seemed more real than ever
My worst fears seem to have taken life now
Lingering in the space between us
Now I have to persuade you too, that it was only
My mind
Playing tricks
On me

It didn't happen when you first said you care about me
not even the second time you uttered those words
It didn't happen when you said you were my best friend
in this new city
It didn't happen when you told me to lay my head on your shoulder
and I finally relaxed in your gentle embrace
It didn't happen when you held me close in your arms
just a few seconds longer

I think I know when it happened

It happened when you were crying in your car
When we were surrounded by three other people
And I couldn't bear to see your despairing face in the rearview mirror
It was when I stretched my arm out to touch you,
like it was the first time
It was when I cried together with you for what felt like forever
When I felt every ounce of your misery and sorrow
I didn't care what the others would think.
That was the first time I told you
I love you
It's just now that I realize
You don't love me back
i sleep with a bomb under my bed

cut the blue wire
cut the red

(tick tock)

i can't live with this bomb anymore

i'm so hurt
i'm so sore


i cut my red veins
i cut the blue


it was going to end like this

i always knew
