Something to keep me
from crawling under your bed
again;
watching you,
watching her
holding something
that you never deserved.
You crave her
in your bed,
like I savor this hole
in my heart;
I like it where it is.
I like you where you are.
At first, I thought I'd miss
ALL of your good parts.
But now I see;
she showed me,
that you would go that far....
Past the point of,
what I meant to you;
Past the point of,
the right thing to do.
Why.
Do I bother?
Why.
Can't I stop these images from reeling in my mind?
Why.
Do you taunt me with compliments and shallow flirtatious mockery?
Why.
Don't you notice how badly I ache for you to want me?
Why.
Is it so hard to say no to it?
It;
The unyielding craving that curdles in my veins for you.
The numbing sting of disappointment that boils over my diaphragm and sputters through my chest.
The almost and what ifs that scatter and creep down my cheeks, trying to escape these pointless weeps.
The uncontrollable reality that expands and rolls between my memories, showing me that my intentions were never yours.
I digress. I regress. I comp

What to Expect
What would you do?
This question is for you...
Hold on, let me rephrase;
How would it feel?
If I was the one who was bitter?
What if
What if I was the one who was lost without you?
What if I was the one who left without a reason, without an apology.
How would it feel?
How would it feel if you couldn't feel anymore because of me?
What if I had been the one to give up on us?
What if I was the one who fucked you up....?
Every day brings another answer when I wake to realize my dreams are just that, unreal.
And every night brings another question as I slip away into paralysis.
What if 10 years from now, no.
What if one year from now...
6 months..
Under my skin
Burning from within
Where did it go?
The peace
Pieces of her
Her soul
No one knows
No one knew
What she would do
What she would have done
For him to say, to believe
That she was the one
Mist
As it settles, I see your smile
As it whispers I hear your voice
I can barely recall
Any of it, at all
Just barely grasping
Like the words
On the tip of our tongues
That we never quite said
When we were too young
To even know
The peace
Pieces of our soul
Under my skin
It burns from within
Tears crawl down
To comfort my lips
The ones you once kissed
In the mist
Misty eyes of mine
Maybe he will be there
Maybe we will find
The peace of mind

Streetlight Mirage
It was a dark cold summer night
when I saw you
standing
by the street light
& you looked like a shadow
of a soul;
like someone I might have,
may have known.
His smile is adorable;
the closest thing to wonderful.
And his kiss is impossible.
Wish we could have been
something beautiful.
It was a bright warm day
when I saw him
in the leaves that lay
& he looked like an angel
of grace;
gave me something like,
a new faith.
My laugh was incorruptable,
the closest thing to loveable.
And my heart was untouchable.
Wish I could have been
something gullable.
Then I would have believed you,
then i would have thought to

You Deserve More
I dont know what people spread around
I dont know what your girl said to get you so down
but,
I know
that you deserve so much more than her.
Does she tell you, you have the prettiest eyes
Does she tell you, your smile is so bright, so bright.
Does she tell you, that you're the one
everyone's jealous of.
I dont think that she does, no
You deserve something more
something, something more than that
and you can have more than that
you can have it all
just make the call
i can give you what you want
i will always do my best
i promise im not anything like the rest

I write whenever I'm overcome with an emotion, usually sadness or anxiety. My poetry and lyrics are outward expressions of internal struggles; these obstacles have no chronology.
Up late with you on my mind again.. I loathe how you haunt my mind and im left with nothing but a ghost of pain to remind me of why I'm better off staying silent
