My life was whole once
Now it's in pieces, funny
How the smaller things yield the biggest impact
I loved, twice
Now I'm on the phone giving romantic advice
Call me nice
It's a vice
Covered in sugar and spice
Fool me once, no, twice, going on thrice
You play the game of love you pay the price
They said third times the charm
Yet I've payed a leg and an arm
Love is war I mean you no harm
You can plan a perfect picnic
But you can't predict a storm

desperate to diverge
from this desolate domain.
dazing,
dreaming of my damsel
in dainty dress.
dozing,
dreading the days
of imminent duress.
tomorrow we depart.
tomorrow I deteriorate.
the drugs,
the drinks;
debauchery turns to
doubting & deriding these desires.
death;
the only deliverance
from my displeasure.

She flinched at the knock
of the first dirt to drop,

and wished for the voices
above her to stop

entreating Saint Peter
to greet her with keys,

she just wanted peace
and for everyone please

to *******..

"Do you miss me?"
No
No, I do not
I do not miss the lingering saliva on my neck
The cracking skin on your lips
Your hands
My hands
Reaching
Screaming , crying, shaking
The stray hairs below your brows
Untamed, you must be
Breathing heavily
Alright I miss you
I ******* miss the pain you brought
Because pain was something
And I normally don't feel much
she was a novel
with twists and turns
the kind shoved behind
library bookshelves
and under heartsick beds

she spun words
into velvet
and they seeped
right through her lips
and onto his lonely skin

and oh, how she loved him
with the passion of a sunset
and the bravery of a child
and her words craved him
even more than she did

he was the reason why
her eyes strained a torturous fog
and her words clogged her throat
and a dozen unsent letters
desperately cluttered her room
and her words weren't velvet,
they were just word
and just like her,
they were not worth loving anymore
humans leave behind scars
as often as they leave behind
old skin cells and yesterdays
oblivious to the fact
that their words carry knives
and that the fleeting hearts of others
remain tragically vulnerable

you have left me with nothing
but a dozen gashes on my heart,
and i've been bandaged a thousand times
from the shattered hopes
that have wounded me
when i tried to stand up again

you took all that was left of me
and now i am just
a hollow ribcage, a fragile soul,
slapped in the face by our lost love
and the sudden realization
that it could not be found

Your pants rip
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You fall down the stairs
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You say something stupid
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you **** really loud
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you cry in front of everyone
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you get yelled at in public
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You fail a test
oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

You get rejected
Oh well, nobody will remember this in 20 years

you stutter during a speech
Oh well, Nobody will remember this in 20 years

See these are all embarrassing situations,
don’t fret, this won’t be remembered for many generations
don’t cry, just put on the breaks
and laugh at all your silly mistakes
it's been one whole year
one whole revolution around the sun
365 days of wondering why
you told me i was your everything
but you left it all behind

how could you leave everything behind?

you left me with empty hands
after i gave you the whole world
but i am not your sun
and you do not revolve around me like you used to

one whole year
of broken promises and mumbled friendship
and memorizing each other
like the backs of our hands
even though i'm not sure if
i still want to remember you
anymore

you're the throbbing pain
and also the heavenly relief
and even though i cannot stand the thought of you,
you still take up the most space
in my mind
