Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

today has brought back so much pain.
today he made me re-live his good-bye.
today i felt the lust of comfort from a blade.
today people see what my past caused.

today has caused more blood to flow.
today he said he was sorry for his lies.
today i fought the urge to end this sorrow.
today you read this without feeling.

tomorrow has no plans, for it is all a mystery.
tomorrow he will walk out of my life again.
tomorrow i will bleed for him once more.
tomorrow people will fear my decisions.

tomorrow has promises of blinding misery.
tomorrow he won't give a damn about me.
tomorrow i will hate him for making me love him.
tomorrow you will see my disguise and believe it.

forever has heartbroken written all over it.
forever he will be oblivious to my pain.
forever i will love him after the betrayal.
forever people will fall for the person they shouldn't.

Suffocation

I crave this addiction,
I’m not denying its suffocation.
I kneel to its power,
Yet never seem to cower.
My heart stutters with the lust,
Of this forbidden comfort.
I’ve tried to move on,
But my soul dies with the isolation.
My eyes are covered,
As I slowly try to recover.
This sin touches me most intimately,
As it slowly encompasses me completely.
You may think differently,
But this is so not necessary.
I hate this thing I have,
I hate that I can’t crave its shadow.
I wish to be alone,
Not overthrown.
I wish to hold my own,
Until I’m over grown.
My heart is mine, and only mine,
No matter where or what time.
The love falling freely,
Is mine to keep greedily.
Love is the worst addiction,
It is the worst affliction.
Why can’t I have loneliness,
Instead of this gagging happiness?
I don’t deserve this,
After all of the regrets.
I don’t want it,
So please help me lose this whiplash.
