Two Different Worlds

It is so hard pretending you’re someone you’re not, because you’re so far from what 
I want and need you to be.
Like an oxymoron we sit in the same sentence knowing we both don't belong there. 
I look at myself and see day and 
I look at you and see night. 
Darkness. 
I'm not even sure there's someone there behind those dark brown eyes that I call 
Traps. 
You are so afraid to be yourself 
and I'm almost afraid to see it. 
You hide behind clouds of smoke.
You seek comfort in milligrams.
You look for answers in a bottle. 
I'm so scared to lose you, 
because there is so much I can lose you to. 
I should be your friend, 
but friends don't let other friends ruin their lives. 
But you'll never listen 
yet alone understand. 
You never lived in my world 
or even visited. 
So I continue to watch you shatter, 
break apart and become less of a person. 
I don't think you know what help is, 
or have even been offered. 
You aimlessly wander through life
Never thinking of consequences, or at least not caring about them.
Even though you’re next to me, we're in two different places
And you're somewhere I never want to go. 
So I'll always promise you that I bought a ticket, but I just can't bring myself to 
catch the train.

Love Or Insanity

Racing thoughts
Fuzzy brain
Pacing around
Like I'm going insane

Sleepless nights
Anxious days
Lost in daydreams
Feeling stuck in a haze

Sweaty palms
Palpitating heart
Just from thinking about you
When we're apart

Stomach flipping
Body aching
Feeling like
I'm physically shaking

Longing lips
Shaky hands
Trying hard
To understand 

What is happening
To my mind and my heart
Feeling elated one minute
Then feeling like i'm falling apart

Am I losing my mind?
Am I going insane?
Am I falling in love?
Is that what's to blame?

I must figure out
My diagnosis
To explain all these feelings
And my continued neurosis

Is this love or is this insanity? Is there even a difference?

Fading Love

I’m starting to forget why
I crave your body by my side. 
The memories fade away and 
I can’t remember why I stay. 
I used to think that we 
would make it through the unforeseen
And never be broken apart 
but now I see that it’s my heart that’s breaking.

If I knew this is how it’d end
I would have just stayed your friend.
I just want to feel your touch
although I’m not sure it’ll be enough
to make me think things are good, 
and working out as they should.
I picture us smiling, nothing wrong, 
but I can’t keep pretending.

I wish I could just let go
or let you know
I need your love to show. 
Cause I need some sort of sign 
to know you still want to be mine.
I’m worried your love is gone, you’ve moved on
and you no longer need me.

Disarming

Your eyes are piercing 
Your heart is cold
My eyes were seeing
A heart of gold 

Your smile is charming
Your kiss is weak 
My lips were feeling
A kiss that’s unique

Your hands are inviting
Your grasp is not secure  	
My hands were trying			
To hold them more

Your words are promising
Your feelings are insincere 
My ears were listening 
To what I wanted to hear 

Your embrace is comforting
Your affection is untrue 		 
My heart was falling  			
More in love with you 

You are disarming 
You’re really a fraud
I was too foolish
To see this was flawed 

My heart is still open
My trust on reserve 
You’re all alone now
It’s what you deserve

Shrunken Dreams

A pile of bones sleeps next to me. 
A deflated figure of someone I used to know. 
I don't think she knows I've noticed her metamorphosis 
because she still looks fat in her tired eyes. 
I see the dinner she lets sit cold on her plate
and the exercises she submits her weak body to every night,
inculcated into becoming the perfect size. 
I've seen her expurgate almost all the fat on her once beautiful body. 
I see a lugubrious girl whose bones look as if they will pierce through her thin layer 
of pale, lifeless skin. 
The size 5 marked on her jeans has shrunk to a child's dimension
And there's nothing
Nothing 
That I can do. 
Her brain is consumed by a sickness I can't understand and hopefully never will. 
She doesn't even look the same. 
A shadow of the girl I once understood. 
A drawing of a girl I barely recognize, 
No longer a person, but an object to be amazed by. 
I want to hold her without her bones poking the healthy fat on my own body. 
I glance over at the skeleton sleeping next to me. 
Not far from collapsing into a heap of depressed teenager. 
She works so hard for perfection and gorgeousness 
And I try to see her how she sees herself 
But all I see is nothing except 
Bones.

An Impetuous Storm

You were a storm I wasn't prepared for
One day, out of nowhere
You blew me away with your charm 
Drenching me with your shower of compliments
Your first kiss struck me like a bolt of lightning
The electricity surged through my whole body
And then I was hit with a tidal wave of emotions
As I unexpectedly felt myself falling in love with you
I basked in your sunshine
And you illuminated the darkness that was inside of me
The magnitude of our chemistry,
when I first felt your bare skin against mine, 
shook me to my core
And left me trembling and shaken
In the wake of this impetuous storm
I laid there
feeling the aftershock for hours
In the aftermath of this beautiful destruction
This exquisite chaos you created

Enchanting Kiss

There's something magical about your kiss
The moment our lips touch and I feel your tongue press against mine,
an intense rush of emotions erupt inside of me
It's a physical euphoria that I've never felt before
Our chemistry is palpable
and I cannot help but pull you closer
so much closer
Until I can feel your heartbeat against mine,
and both our hearts are racing,
in remarkable synchronization
And in this moment
nothing else matters
It's just you and me
I'm not thinking about anything else
Just feeling
Feeling your hands brush against my face
before you slide your fingers through my fair
Feeling your soft skin against mine
when I graze my hands against the base of your neck
Until finally, our hands join together
Our fingers intertwine
and we continue to lose ourselves in each other
Kissing passionately,
then
kissing gently
Pulling our lips apart for only a moment
just to look deeply into each other's eyes
before we bring them back together
And I'm always left wishing this moment could last forever
when we eventually have to untangle ourselves from each other's arms
Because the second your lips leave mine
I'm already craving for more

Invasion

You invaded my brain
And drove me insane
You captured my affection
We had an instant connection
You conquered my soul
And made me feel whole
You disarmed me from the start
And claimed sovereignty of my heart

The Plank

I was prepared to walk off the plank
I hadn't realized my heart already sank

My Heart

My heart 

                is no 

                             place for 

                                               your madness.
