I still have the stuffed toy that you once gave me.
I kept your shirt in my dresser honey.
When I get depressed,
I hold it and think of you.
What happened to us?
I don't have a clue.

I miss the way that you use to call my name,
When other guys say it,
well it doesn't sound the same.
Now I'm here in this mind maze,
caught in a web of deceit.
You write such beautiful poetry about things that could be.

While you brushed it off,
I tied the knot in the rope that you handed me.
Yeah you smiled a lot,
I began to choke on my jealous.
While you were out with all your friends,
I was patiently waiting for my life to end.

We were inseparable,
Joint at the hip.
But now I'm drinking so much it makes me sick.
Where did it all go so wrong?
I thought you were the one.

We were inseparable.
Now you can barely look at me.
It hurts so much that I wasn't enough, you never even tried to chase me.
It's plain to see you never really loved me.

I am attached to completely submitting to my desires
I want control.
maybe control  comes with less heartbreak, the will to live for something more than the way you smile when you speak to me, when you question it, my answer will always be " because you're beautiful " and you tell me to stop and I tell you that I'm not doing anything, so anything you're feeling is there because you feel more for me than what you'll ever let the world see.

Imagine seeing me wake up from a comatose state
and seeing me see you,
there's nothing wrong with that.

There's a whole lot wrong with me seeing you when you're not there,

There's a whole lot wrong with my mind having the ability of creating the illusion on your much wanted presence

There's a whole lot wrong in seeing my mind break my heart in the name of You,

There's a whole lot wrong in seeing my mind break my heart over and over again.

Someday I will wither away.
I wish it tugs at your heartstrings
I mean no harm,
but if I was to ever say I feel secure,
that I believe you,
when you say you love me
I'd be lying.

You became my heart
Four years and eight months ago.
Through the windows
Of love
I envisioned you
Forever
For so long
irreparable and
Microscopic
Was the muscle
Left
of my heart.
Superwoman
Has nothing on you
An angel
Grace
you brought upon me

I saw you today
and my heart felt sad
sad for what could have been
what never will be

we made eye contact
and in those few seconds
there was so much I wish
I could convey

just give me a chance
just give me a chance
just give me a chance

but you looked away
and I kept walking

Coffee is my favorite drug
It glorifies
my saintly desire
To improve.
Greeting life in the sun
With ice cream
For breakfast.
Curiosity
Factors
every motivation.
We love to
Die for pleasure
Yet
We wonder
how pleasure
Dies for you.
I believed in consciousness
Until I met you.

My pure heart was dead inside
As the ghost watched us from across the room.
Filling our heads with ***** thoughts
And our veins with more whiskey.

Walking to the station
Like a zombie lost in grief,
I reflect on what I lost
In the bathroom just last week.

I stare down at the ground,
Not watching where I walk
And bump into a man;
The kind who likes to talk.

'Cheer up love' he says,
As my anger slowly grows,
'It can't be all that bad' -
I feel my heart implode.

I could've walked on by
And left him to his day,
But I have a way with words
And I had a lot to say:

"Please don't call me 'love'
Or tell me to 'cheer up',
As if your empty words
Could ever be enough.
I'm sorry if my frowning
Is messing with your mood,
But it really is 'that bad'
And you don't have a clue.
The burden that I carry
Is really ******* bleak.
So no I won't 'cheer up' -
My baby died last week."

He stares at me in silence
And hangs his head in shame.
Now he's a zombie just like me
We go our separate ways.

They say it's love that's in the little things.
Truthfully that's all I have for you.
Love.... It's been holding me back.
I can't do it anymore.
You're always on my mind, the thing is we won't ever have that love....
For you I'd do anything.
For you I'd give a lifetime of stability.
For you there are no words or ways to show my love.
All I do is for you.
I've made a change.
For you there is no low or high or in between of my heart that you haven't seen.
Every page that I write, every day of my life would not be without the things that my love for you now brings.
For you I'd go to war.
For you I'd make a promise of fidelity.
All these things I do is FOR YOU.
