so maybe its been awhile since I wrote a couple lines for you but it's also been awhile since I last stole a kiss upon your lips & fell asleep with my ear against your chest or held hands down my road & shared a cigarette between the two of us & maybe it's been a while since I've wrote about it but it's only been a number of seconds since it crossed my mind

if I could down your words like a bottle of ***** at three am or use your terrible punch line to throw at my wall instead of my hand i would write your story along the lines of my liver and trace your response upon every knuckle. and if there was a way I could remove the pain from your past instead of the blood from my wrists and inhale every cigarette so that you would stop, you'd have no memory left of what has happened and I would have smoked my life away days ago. but because I cannot do these things, my level of addiction becomes very hard to express and I hope you come to realize that you are my bottle of ***** at three am, hand being thrown at the wall, ****** wrists, and pack of cigarettes. if you believe that I have become an addiction, imagine how addicting you are to me.

he's different
different in a way of matter
reaching out into my soul
grasping ahold such pain
mournful and retrieving
in such a way
I shall never truly understand
it's like
living among the dead
or
being buried underneath
a wave crashing over
on and on the tide escapes
though my love for you
will never be replaced

She can see her dreams
But cannot reach out to them
She is the bird in an open cage
With wounded wings.

I just want you
to be happy
but sometimes
and selfishly
I want to be
your happiness

But
'happiness is a choice'
you say
and you didn't choose me

I clung onto the idea
since you made me happy
it would be the same for you

What is happiness now?
where has it gone to?
In time, society has robbed us
the real meaning of happiness

Go on your own way
and pursue your happiness
for your smile, is my smile
your laugh, is my laugh

and I'll be happy
when you find your happiness
because I love you
always have, always will

sometimes you're like homework
so confusing
and i just stare at you
absent-mindedly
hating you
yet you're important to me
it's so hard to finish you
and i lose inspiration every now and then
but when i get high as my grades
i come running back to you

i can't wait to graduate from school
get rid of this infatuation
we would be adults by then
and hopefully this mess will be sorted out

She walks into school
      and it starts again
           the shaking,
               it rips through her like a wave
She hears the sound of the voices
      in the hallway
         yet she cant make out what they're saying
She thinks all eyes are on her,
     everything is just one big blur
She hears laughter and
     she automatically thinks its
        directed at her
She waits in the bathroom
     like she does every morning
        for the halls to be clear
She walks out
     and wipes away her tears

I lost the ***** that held my world together
There is no finding it now
And yes, I looked between the cushions of the couch
I prepare to run because
Like water through a busted dam it is coming
Like the pain of a stubbed toe it arrives in a furious instant
That asks for select curse words to be shouted
But so unlike pain in my toe, it does not fade
My world comes crashing down
The clouds in the sky fall
As dust onto my outstretched fingertips
(They hope to catch a bit of my falling world)
The atmosphere caves in
The air pressure intensifies
Until it has wrapped me
In a straight-jacket and
I
Am  
Paralyzed
I Search for your comforting eyes as you
Distantly ask me if I am okay I’m not
Okay but I cannot
Open my mouth
For the words to say because
I cannot move an inch to save you
Let alone myself
I couldn’t even save a
Word document right now
I try to scream but  
I
Can’t
Speak
And my world is crashing down
The water from the busted dam
Hits me like a concrete wall
My useless straight-jacketed body
Is swept away  
The water washes away all emotion  
I
Can’t
Feel
The sound of my demise is so loud
In my ears
I cannot hear you any longer
I
Can’t
Hear
The lack of oxygen
In my brain
Turns off the light  
I cannot see the stars
I
Can’t
See
Water everywhere
World crashing down
I
Am
Drowning
My heart beats too
Fast
Fast
Fast
I don’t have enough air to
Last
Last
Last
World
Crashing
Down
I
Can’t
Move
Can’t
Speak
Nor
Feel
Hear
See,
I
(Gasp)
Can’t
(Gasp)
Breathe.
