i dont know much but if theres one
thing i know its that the feeling i
get when im with you is something
i cant put into words no matter how hard i try
but i will try
i just hope you know that your hands around
my waist was a better antidepressant
than any doctor could prescribe
and even though the world is so big
all my thoughts are about you
theyre always about you

the first time we kissed you initiated it
you were nervous (i think)
and i.. i wanted you.
so badly
to hold your hand
to feel your heart beat
to touch your lips with mine
i hadnt kissed anyone in over 6 months
i lost count; a blur of lips
and tastes,
and people who never even mattered even then in a fruitless attempt
to find a pair that rivaled yours
about a month ago, you reappeared
the second time we kissed (after about 2 yrs) i initiated it
and. it. was. wonderful.
in the morning you asked if you could kiss me again anytime soon
if it was alright
what i said was yes
but what i meant was
in the second kiss i realized yours are the only lips i could ever want for the rest of forever

ive met love three times
the first time i met love,
i was in 8th grade
and i was 13 years old
and love used to stare at me from across the quad and
try and find me after school to attempt to kiss me goodbye
"until tomorrow, my dear"
i didnt know how i felt towards love at the time
and i was 13 years old and didnt know what to do
with the budding feelings i was growing
so i tried to push love away at first
but he wasnt going anywhere
love cared for me
and love made of my heart a home
a year and 1 month goes by and
i stepped on my love's heart
it was the dumbest thing i could have ever done
it was all my fault my first love left
2 days ago my love returned
ive been so hopeful something might happen
maybe tonight we will meet in that coffee shop [see below]

i dont know much but i do know one thing for sure and that is the feeling i get when im with you is so indescribable, and no matter how hard i try i will never be able to explain the feeling but i will try my hardest. and i will love you the best that i can even if thats not quite good enough, im just praying that it will make you feel something. my feelings fumble over every word that has ever fallen from your lips.
the night you told me you loved me again i triple backflipped off the tallest building in the country. how could i have been so naive to notice that you cant fall up. you cant jump without coming back down. now im just a crack in the sidewalk clinging to the weeds and other outcasts. they say dont step on me or you'll break your mothers back but its only because i miss the feeling of tracing your spine and ive never thought about you without tremors in my hands. i cracked my knuckles on your door and now the sky is bleeding
and im in love with you

theres something about your first love
something you will never be able to let go of
youre always going to love that person, always going to want them
theyre always going to mean something to you and
theyre always going to wake you up at 3am from a nightmare
because you were dreaming about them
dreaming about the person you let slip from your fingers
and losing that person was the worst thing you could have ever done
and you regret it every day
well that probably explains why im always waking up in the middle of the night screaming and choking on seawater
[you are my favorite nightmare]
because you reminded me of the ocean
even though your eyes are brown
i can get lost in you forever
floating in the middle of the sea (you)
and i wouldnt mind drowning in that sea because
that would mean id get to spend the rest of my life with you
id get to spend the rest of my life getting lost in your eyes
that remind me of the ocean even though they are brown
[you drive me crazy]
and thats why i always get the sudden urge to swim out to sea
and stay there forever floating and
listening to the waves youve created
but the gentle waves
the ones that i love
the ones that i believed were your way of telling me you loved me
[do you still love me?]
now i understand that the reason there was a hurricane in my heart
named after you
its because i broke yours, isnt it?
and that was your way of hurting me back, wasnt it?
[i never stopped loving you]

my love for you could move mountains and no i dont literally think it could move mountains but it would be pretty **** close. its like you have me under a spell and im not exactly complaining because it gives me a sense of belonging and it makes me feel like i have a purpose: loving you. the only thing that has me worried is that more often than not the things i think are only in my head and dont exist outside of it so im always going to be looking for reassurance that this is real and not just my mind playing a trick on me. i would move mountains to see your smile because recently its become my favorite sight to see and no i wouldnt literally move mountains but id be pretty **** close. i dont know what to do with all these feelings i have and usually i dont do anything but i dont think i should let a feeling this strong go to waste. there are always mountains that need moving and i want to be the one to move them.

youre so unlike
anything ive ever
experienced
when you look at me
everything blurs
except those brown eyes
that remind me of the ocean
im so entranced
in everything about you
but, oh god
when you say my name
the way your lips
form the letters m-i-a
oh god
i ******* love you

I try and Esc those who are poison to my life
where I just need to Tab and skip ahead a week
or maybe a month
that doesn't always work so I try and find an Alt way
if all fails
push through to the End
Shift to the new chapter
and delete them from your life
phone
social media and all
I like to enter into a long dream
so I can wake up and start over
some days feel like I am on caps lock and everything is drastic
or way too exciting I just need to scroll down a bit to save some energy for the rest of the day
Some days I need not be alone
but to insert myself into healthy groups
full of positive vibes and energy
if I stay with healthy relationships
my f8 should be well off
but don't quote me on that
if I ever get to crazy
feel free to tell me to backspace
and just chill
I don't want my life to be just okay & full of JK's
but rather full of spontaneous adventures
while trying not to be a jailbird one day
I know we belong together
for that is why W and E are next to each other
like U and I
but don't #perfect us for we are like many others
so if you could let me clear my mind
and focus that would be great
for I am @ a point
where I shouldn't be worried about $$
and the % I make
to help do things for you and I
because it isn't about
money but taking
one letter one word at a time

day3
they say lighting never strikes the same place twice but i can feel it jolt through my bones every **** time you smile at me, the pain will never feel duller but im too strong to walk away from my only source of happiness which is you i hope you know.
day 12
im in love with you and i know im young and maybe i shouldnt admit it so readily but if i had to choose between the sun and your eyes, then i guess we would have to spend the rest of our eternity together in darkness.
day 20
you tore my world apart and offered me your own, you showed me im only as precious as the world says is am and right now im standing on a flooding bridge with an entire storm raging around my neck and that storm is these strong feelings i have for you but you tell me its ok to breathe as long as i dont speak.
and then you tell me you love me
day 27
i had bruises on my body from where i was punished to feel like i was nothing. but i also had bruises from when you wrote love letters on my skin and i cant tell which are which anymore but i love yours because the bruises you made are from love. im starting to feel like hell so often i think im turning into it. but you tell me you are here now and everything is going to be ok and that you love me. and nothing is my fault and you still love me.
you love me.

You know you’ve tried everything,
Pressed ESC,
Held CTRL+ALT+DEL
Pulled plugs out
Then tried reboot
Reset
Refresh
Nothing can help you
And you can help it
We’ll have forever this wireless connection
High quality
Full HD
Stereo
I’ll be still compatible with any device of yours
How ever far away
I’ll remain logged in your system
Forgot password
Security key
And activation code
And you’ll stay my divine inspiration
Forever and ever without an end,
Without limitations on number of characters,
As long as we save our own.
All we have to do, from time to time, is to recharge the batteries.

There's no reset button
No ctrl alt delete solution
I am forever changed
I can not hit esc
There's no back out option
My life's been rearranged
Short circuited
By the surge of your touch
I will never be the same
I've been Remanufactured
Reprogrammed and Restored
My heart's logo reads your name.

I had a dream where I purged you of technology
(There was a beach at our feet)
I had dream where I met you\
you dissolved away in the surf—

Today I killed another of my lovers,
And drove to nowhere in particular
To taste the taste of air
When I am free.
I do it every few years -
It takes an hour or two until
I'm lost among the hills,
Then peace finds me...

cookies & cachéd data,
digitally-programmed privacy paraphernalia
are carefully collecting information
following your confirmation
to allow the invasion
of all forms of personal communication
((( it’s hard to ignore the intimidation
of the internet’s alluring intoxication )))
but between you&me
life beyond a screen
never felt so free,
an anti-digital reality,
life in an unmonitored galaxy
is something only the mind can dream

Writing so simple and yet complex.
What drives people to put words to a page? Is it hope... madness?
Perhaps is simply an escape, both for readers and author.
For me writing is not
merely making an esc-
ape from reality, but a
realization of it. To
make you ponder, look
around. See the world
for what it is.
Years I questioned myself, what is my calling? My contribution to the world? Is it my undying thirst for knowledge or a drive for betterment.
Perhaps a teacher to those in need.
I write... write to reach people. To write the dark twisted truths and fears of those who don't.
Writing a simply complex form of sharing your soul to another.

It’s the key to open your heart
One press to blow it apart
to be fickle like a fire
only by desire do we design
mine a mind of mine
and find an urgency in signs
drawing contingencies in dotted lines
so hit it and forget it
all the cost in memories
soon enough you’ll get it
exit wounds hemorrhaging.

I prompt thee
To see
The television
Prompter,
Yelling at me
In caps lock,
Buy one
Get one
Free,
But wait,
Call now,
Static intermission,
Interrupting
The human
Condition,
Prompt
DOS;
Black and white
Flicker,
Press ESC
To exit,
Life...

Pushing limits walking away
Why wait when I could act
Misplace passive aggression
With a pistol and a guilty conscious
(AIM) reaches are not running
When space bars cage an existence
Pulling words from these characters
Shooting messages flips to shaders through the windows
Online presents will determine you’re future income
Pass the aggression into a sight with an eye at pin point
Withdrawing (ATM), coloring red as the floor
Checking the walls as pink matter
Saving the mixes for the pallets on set
Depositing later all the info I need to evade
Panic attacks walking
Bullets wait for running
Esc...
I’ll find joy in drowning in my own painting

i wish there was a key, for life of course.
that could take all your pain away,
erase you from humanity.
i wish there was a key for me to press,
to make you forget me.
i need a key,
an escape.

Life has given me a spacebar,
why not control and Delete?
This War is like a Self war,
I'm Fighting myself and we....I and Me is getting cornered by the ESC..
but i have found the word escape
all i wanna do is escape.
but me keeps talking like its too late.
To know i have to keep a smile on my face is getting really Tab and Shift just a lot of yelling and then Dip..
if you didn't get my drift.
i'll be the type writer on the lowkey!
God be the hands that control
I don't know me but you know I and Me has given up on myself cause i
keep typing restart.

once upon a time...
god that's such a cheesy way to start out a tale
i mean
it could be a reasonable way to start this out considering we are no more
but it is just too fairy tale esc if we take in the fact of how we ended
well we were once very close
and I at one time thought you were my best friend
then our friendship ended...and then it started and ended again
and today i got an anonymous message
and i just deep down knew it was from you
you claimed to be shocked at how we once were close and aren't anymore
and that you don't even know me anymore
but this is how life goes and you hope the best for me
i don't know why i was so shocked by this
it might be because of how much time has passed
and how i've avoided you quite successfully
or it might be because of the hell you brought into my life
today i was reminded of you and i don't really know how to feel about it
i'm not particularly filled with hatred when you are mentioned
but i don't really wish to ever befriend you either

Just a blank video
Ctrl+ Alt+Del, Esc, Esc
