Your ribs exploded.
Your lungs burst out.
Filled with the Venom.
Your childhood and trauma caused.
Yet.
I gently took your heart.
Then I ripped the skin off.
My throat, My thighs, My chest.
Your favorite parts of me.
To replace.
The nasty.
Horid.
Putrid.
Rotten flesh.
That filled your body for over a decade.
No questions asked.
When I ripped out my heart strings.
To attach to yours.
And you looked at me with disdain.
I continued to pull and tug at myself.
Even when i bled all over your floors.
And cried out in pain.
You watched.
You didn't answer.
You pointed at your scars.
You sighed.
You watched tears roll down my cheek.
We loathed eachother.
Then you ran to someone else.
Who had toxic waste and blood.
Dripping off their fangs.
And you gave them.
My healed flesh.
Ripped right off your body.
You looked back.
Only to see if I would be gullible enough.
To let you come back.
If you need more newely broken parts
Or
You needed to be healed
From her rotten ways.
Then your rotten flesh slowly became.
mine.
The best thing about you is that you're my sister
My first friend, my best friend
I wouldn't want anyone else to play that role in my life
You play it perfectly
Every act, every sentence
Like you rehearsed it like such
I love being in your presence
Each moment with you is a memory I'll never forget
When we grow up, I won't see you as much
We'll go our separate ways
And probably only see eachother on holidays
But I'll always remember how our hugs used to go on forever
How we always seemed happier together
Cause when I grow up
The thing I'll miss most is you
Marlboro breath exhaling frustrations
Struggling with the need of her
Drinking to the moment he lost her
Only to remember how things were
Her ghost haunts his thoughts
Flooding the actions he makes
The feeling of her smooth skin
Craving to be explored on dates
The way she rolled her eyes so loud
Made him fold over in giggles
Saying "I love you" under a breath
She missed all of the signals
Loving carelessly and unconditionally
They always fall into eachother
Friends to most that see them
Tis their eyes meet, lover
White Space
In perturbed silence, I sat
with music dancing in my ears
within a blank and bare room
solitude quieting the mind
against ever racing thoughts.
I dipped my head, eyes blinded
by a false sun, gazing upon
echoes of now forgotten names
scribbled in layers upon eachother
their owners now far away
from where I now sat.
Sitting there, I wondered
if they sat as I did,
panicking over tests and essays
scribbling their names in stressed fervor
so no one forgot those who struggled before.
The thought crossed my mind
to add my name to the web of echoes
etched into the wood, to be observed
years after I've walked the stage
moving onto ‘greener’ pastures.
but it was not time for that just yet
the book infront of me instead
drawing me away from reality once more.
Mind , body and soul ,You make me whole.
I hear your rhythm, I hear your call
you light up my sprit and make it burn bright
i feel your delight.
Your energy is like a melody to me, makes me feel at ease , I can relaxe and unwind.
TIme stands still when I am with you.
You give me joy , i feel no pain, fear is gone instead there is postivity and creativity.
When i am with you I feel alive , it is hard to
discribe. I am on cloud nine when i am with you and your kiss is infectious.
when i am in your arms my body has butterflies and I melt away.
The things you do brings me to ectascy i just have to scream.
The love i have for you is strong it like a magnet we have for eachother like no other.
when we are together we engnite a sparke of
electricity that enthuses our bodies into one
that keeps us warm continously .
The temperture is risining so high that
Mercy is Rising to new heights with lovely delights.
Let our love be entwined for all eternity
and let us light up the sky with our love for one another as our soul , body and minds are bonded and entwineded in love for all time.

I write better than I speak
And yet my words are still weak.
I write to be free, to feel seen,
but in the end I feel so stupid for
thinking my words could strike your heart
like cupid. My anger is only fueled when
I'm ridiculed for trying to express myself,
to someone else. I wonder why, explaining my
emotions feels like I'm crossing dangerous
oceans, but all I could do is sit and cry.
You tell me to get out of my head, but I
can't even get out of bed. I lie here, tossing
and turning, waiting for my eyes to stop
burning. The tears in my eyes stream down
my face, as I pray for your warm embrace.
My fears, will only deepen the
wounds in my fatigued heart,
the ones I've had from the start. To be unheard
is absurd when I'm surrounded by people
who love eachother, but they're
not you. And yet I still write, hoping my sad
words will some day meet your sight.
She took a step back from the world
what it wanted her to be
She wasn't who she was anymore
what they once did see
She saw things differently now
Her eyes were open wide
She was broken open
To things she could no longer hide
Every where she looked she saw ego
She saw hate for mankind
People who judged and criticized eachother
The blind leading the blind
Only caring to be right
Only caring to be heard
Never stopping to listen to anybody elses word
She released her self from the facade
She released herself from the rat race
Knowing life isn't a competition
And no one wins first place
For life is a journey
Not a written consent
Not a place to throw shade on others
Not a place to vent
She wanted to live for humanity
She wanted to live with a humble heart
She knew changing and healing herself was the best place to start
Her eyes were now wide open
They were no longer a blur
She now sees a world that needs benevolence
That was the becoming of her..
It’s the last day of school and everyone is finally becoming friends
While we all start to understand
Old sad sentiments
I’m outside on the soccer field signing yearbooks
Name loopy
Hearts scribbled quickly
And for some reason the sun already seems to be setting
Mason and noah steal a kiss when they think no one is looking
Samantha gives her number to callie
It’s the last day of school and everyone is finally tolerating eachother
After years of longing to leave
We finally have a reason to stay
Those old sad sentiments suddenly seem cruel
And evil teachers cry while receiving hugs
The sun sets on one last day that you will all be together
The bus ride home is bittersweet
You let tears fall as my head rattles
Roughly on the window
Its my last day of school nd I hope that we will still be friends after this drive
When I move away
Call me when adages start to feel to accurate
Or when sad sentiments feel too real
I promise to always pick up the phone
Numb.... Lonely
Staring at the same gloomy rain
dripping down 2 different
window panes
over 300 miles away
Feeling alone & ashamed,
full of regret because of how
we hehaved
but not giving up
bc this Actual, Magical,
One of a kind love
is just too unfathomable
to not crave
its right there out of our reach,
our plans, wants & goals
so easy to speak
but walls of fear deadlock life's gears,
and we rolled backwards
without even realizing we were
so far gone,
my dear
we did this together
but you gotta honestly tell me
if climbing back up w. me by your side
is going to be too heavy
I can only love you if you let me
I need you just as much,
You're the only one that gets me
and accepts me,
and my damaged beyond repair, crazy drug addicted brain
we drive eachother insane
but it could be so much different
we can be happier than ever
its an uncontrollable animal instinct
I wish that whenever you got mad
you'd just shut up & kiss me
before the bullet filled words
rip through my heart
& every single one hits me
like im marked with a bulls eye
all we need is stability,
but the chaos continuously emerges instantly
Strung out tired & emotional
dont even know what we fighting for
Brain fog over-taking the both of us
Tempers short
Sayin mean sht
But don't even know
the reason for it
2 broken souls-
Been through Hell & back
Still love & kindness in their hearts
Is never lacked
Fate pulled them together
Bcus they were made for eachother
That's not doubt a fact
Grew up learning
to survive in this toxic world
Never got a chance
At the life they deserved
Broken but not knowing
Slowly turning colder & colder
As they were growing
Had many masks they wore
Feeling like being loved
was too much of a chore
She lost her faith in the Lord
as his strengthed as he matured
2 souls created and fated
To one day cross paths
And help one another heal
From their undeserved pasts
I'll need a beginners guide to love
you can't shatter a mirror and expect it to reflect
so, how can you break my heart
and it expect it to feel
the same way about you
over and over?
you've run out of luck, this is a dead end,
and the graveyard is nowhere near here
aren't we so lucky to know eachother?
here we are today,
battling one another in the mud
trying to get all our words out
and strangle eachother at the same time
Do you remember saying you love me,
Cuddling till we fell asleep in eachothers arms. laughing our hearts out, getting eachother gifts everyweek. I know the answer to that,it's no because all the ugliness we have had covers every single good thing about us. You shoudnt let the ugliness, cover all the goodnes. but you do
It's like you think you can't let things get ugly even a little bit, or it will run away from you.
My bewitched heart is bleeding
The burden of the banished
Bubbly times we buried into eachother
The butterfly of my dreams
Though bleak times never seemed so bad
We’re at this place where we thought we’d never be.
The world crashes down around you and me.
The dreams that we made and the promises that we did keep.
Will soon be ash of the power that runs too deep.
The world is full of fools and that includes both you and I. We create pain to hurt ourselves and pollute the sky. We’d suck blood to survive then drive a stake through our own heart. Rather than feel disrespected we’d rip eachother apart.
We’re at the place we’d thought we’d never be. Killing pure, innocent love in the name of human insanity.
