Is it... Irony?
My life is language
and I have no words for you.

Erasing each little quip
before it reaches my lip
only echoes

A thousand lines for you.

The precedent muse,
and you won't see them
even if written
you won't see them
deleted.

I feel defeated

By myself and my hands
by my words
with which the short line spans

I feel deleted

Concieted

As if it's my defeat to posess.
As if the story is in reference to me.

But it was ours
and now it's not.

You won't see it.
The words won't rhyme,
because it's not our song anymore.

It's a memory
Fading into the background
Frequencies slowly dying out
against the scenery
as our ears get too old to hear them.

We'll remember differently every time
we think of it again.
Until it's different again.
Over and over,
until the echoes are a whole new chorus.

A different memory.
And the spark will be dead again.
In another new way.

I'll always be sorry.
Then I'll remember it
and type it, and delete it.

And we'll forget it, but we won't.
We'll hear the echoes
and won't have the words.

Deleted.

“I broke with the virtuality yesternight”.

Your hands as numb as the winter of some unreached epoch;
as traumatised as the rays of this moon—
borrowed and leaden.

Diddering by the cold morrows of life,
your soul is already downfallen,
out of the blue,
by this last good-bye.

You are through the endless seasons of fall,
with no spring foreseen,
your spirit at stake;
your fall, an eventual doom.

Your eyes are drowning in the ocean of death,
where even in the best of the boards, you're wrecked.

While, I stand as stiff as mountains,
with the same impoverished gesture of last adieu;
concieted by the delight of pain bequeathed to you.

You are the object of my empirical yet conjectural fortune—
that, I poetise now.

In your heart, broken, lies my dwelling destroyed,
and I would soon find myself mislaid or a doomed grave.
In her memory.

Don't worry I'm ok
It's all in my head
I'm not depressed
I'm not living life
On the verge of an attack
It's all in my head
It's all make believe
That's what my
Father says to me
It's all for attention
I look miserable
But inside I'm laughing
I'm doing this
To upset my mother
And my sister
And my brother
Bc I'm selfish and concieted
So don't worry
About my scars
And my thoughts
It's all make-believe
And so will be
My suicide

The pleasure of leisure
truly evanescent in fact
An albatross around my neck
A spectre ?.
Possibly.
Tell me ........
How can i say it doesnt exist to me ?
I used to gage fondess for me with it .
Its utterly useless to even try to deny
One free second
You watch and see.minum one person
I lean back begin to smile
Appear ing out of thin air
Casting aspersions into my characture
And most of them i have heavily carried
And they knowing compounded
With the fact that they know
That i done so without
And did so without made a mention
Oh wow .......forgive me
Oh how i so utterly
In this muse have need
Out
Of an absolutely violent desperation.
Please. I am cryptic and eclectic and use long runon sentencing and get side tracted and make up my own words that noone understands yet .........my poetry may seem incomplete and i have a tendency to sound pornographic one min then morose the next
  Wait
Please
dont stop reading .
Im really really really hoping that someone,
at the least one person gets me.
In the apex of my , .....what began  as a pretty thought, i thought !.......
I thought i would let it out and just free style
4 a minute.
And without fail i went from pretty to petty
Petty to pitty
Pity complain
Complain to whine
Whine to rant .
I cant or maybe .......
Imagine how.......oh yes i can .
Wuz on the cusp of somehow goin pornographic
But i didnt .
Suddenly a smile on my face and i laugh at myself
With myself
A slap in the face with a ironic epiphany
Perfectly balancing my life an giving insight to ponder
As my anger increased from my subject matter.
One could only think " ok ya lost me
Here we go again"
Then i realize the one thing i need is one friend or acquaintance
Or anyone who could prove my petty theory wrong
By doin whatever it was they were doing .
Without "the look" or the "well are you gonna help.? "
I know youre sick or back is injured ,
But cmon you could do somethin.
Light bulb ....flash bulb
Realization .
Me ..........i am the exact uber opposite to the extreme.
I mean most all the time its what i do to unwind
I go an do things for people in need or not
Just doing good works and asking for nothing in return
I feel is what the world needs
I love to do it as a surprise but at the least
Never ask for help
Thats just me .no one gets me in the fact that i......working .
Full filling there needs allows me to coalesce and heal.
It seems i needed to write to right the wrongs i see
In order for me to see the quality of me and see that i am being the change i want to see and another reason to love me more
Now i sound concieted

— The End —
