If a flower had the choice to grow, do you think it would?

I wouldn't.

Being suicidal doesn't mean i'm going to **** myself

Being suicidal is having this unexplicable ache while you're living

It's waiting for your life to end, and wishing you didn't have to carry on

Having this ache, an incapability to feel happy living, doesn't mean that I am going to **** myself -

It just means I wouldn't mind dying.

Im being evicted
My heart has already left
The alchoholic's conundrum
Love unreciprocated

You were the light of my life
If only sunburns where amnesia
I'm gulping down these memories
Like i'm not in a desert
Like you're still here.

Like the sun in the window
That i've gotten so used to
I expected you to be there
Every morning when i woke

Like the moon between the palms
Of a squinting kid
I just want to hold you
If only for tonight

Like the dog without a collar
Wandering in the alley
I have the whole world
Yet i all i want is to find you

Like the simile on the paper
Containing all my insides
You knew me like no one else
I miss my other half

Flower, flower
Petals picked and trashed
You gave me all you had to give
I left you in the grass

Spring, spring
Winters come and passed
Flowers grow again but
My wilted lovely didnt last

Horror, horror
What have i become
Destroying all her beauty
Just for sporting fun

Tape, tape
Put her petals back
I picked up all the peices
Yet my lovely seems to lack

Time, time
Still she falls apart
I cant undo the damage
That i've done upon her heart

A poet's job is to describe the indescribable
Today, I fail to be a poet
Of the strings on my heart,
One has snapped
Rest in peace, Chester
We should have heard your cries
