Suicide

You told me to do whatever it takes to be happy.
I'm just following your advice. :)

My Lovely Parents

Once upon a time, I came to you for help. 
You made it worse. 
You took me out of my home to a foreign place. 
You drugged me and put me on display. 
You hung me out to dry. 
You picked me apart, and I’m still trying to put myself back together. 
They say that the bond between parent and child is an unburnable bridge. 
You’ve left your mark. 
You’ve made your point.
You’ve burned your bridge.
You are dead to me.

Babycakes

 Babycakes,
I know you're sad and it makes my heart break.
So, baby, please just put a smile on your face,
And I'll wipe the tears away,
Because its you and me against the world, no matter what they say.
So, Babycakes,
You know that I would do whatever it takes
To show you that I love you, and that I am here to stay with you
For the rest of my days,
And there is nothing in this world that can take me away.

Girl, I've got my sights set on you.
I've got my heart stuck on you,
And there is nothing that I can do
To free my mind from this curse,
The curse of loving you so much that it hurts.
For better or for worse.

So, cheer up, butter cup, don't let it get you down.
I hope you know my spirits die every time you frown.
Whatever you wish, I'll make it so.
I'll do anything just so you don't
Cry yourself a river, slip, fall in, and drown.

So, smile, baby, and never stop.
**** this world, cuz you're on top.
Whatever happens, you'll be fine,
So sleep at night with peace of mind,
Oh, love of mine.

Pot of Gold

 This one is for Bailey...
Oh, you know I hate to leave you helpless,
But there's really nothing that I can do.
Your parents say that I have done enough.
I mean, just look at what I've gotten you into.

Oh, I know just how to leave you breathless,
And you know how to make me lose my mind.
Right now, there's an army standing in between us,
But, baby, you will always be mine.

'Til the sky comes crashing down from up above
You know, I don't think this town is right for us.

So, run,
And run as fast as your feet will take you.
Don't look back, don't let them catch you.
I'll be on my way soon.
I'm right behind you.
So, go,
And don't stop 'til your heart explodes.
I promise you I'll find you down the road.
I could never give up on my pot of gold.
Just leave a map before you go.

Oh, I don't think love is blind, but it's ironic.
A sarcastic beast without a sense of time.
All of my past loves have left me brokenhearted,
But, oh, Cupid, this time, you've crossed the line.

Oh, you gave me something I knew I couldn't keep,
But, baby girl, you're so irresistible.
I can't begin to express how happy it makes me
To say that you were the legs to my table.

And, now, you're gone, and I fell flat on my face.
But, it's okay, cuz I'm the one that told you to run away, anyway.
And I'm scared to death, but I know you'll be okay.
You'll find a way...

So, run,
And run as fast as your feet will take you.
Don't look back, don't let them catch you.
I'll be on my way soon.
I'm right behind you.
So, go,
And don't stop 'til your heart explodes.
I promise you I'll find you down the road.
I could never give up on my pot of gold.
Just leave a map before you go.

Oh, baby, don't you worry 'bout me.
It hurts so bad, but I'm sure I'll be just fine.
On the nights that I can't help but miss you,
I think back to a time when you were all mine...

Writer's Block

If only I could think of something to write.
I’ve been sitting here for at least two hours, just trying to think of something, ANYTHING to write, but nothing is coming to mind! I decided to write down my thoughts, because that always inspires me to write. Writing inspires me to write. Ironic, huh? But its whatever, I guess. I’m sure I’ll think of something. I always do. Even if I think of something void of all conventional logic or cleverness, it would still classify as free verse poetry. That’s the beauty of it! I could write anything, and people will find it poetic. Sigh… Well, I’ve got to wrap this up. I need to think of something to write.

Love Has It's Side Effects

I feel your hand touch mine, and suddenly I'm blind.
I can't see where I'm going.
I can taste you on my lips, and my heart sinks like a ship.
And I don't know what I'm doing.
So, I lay in my bed. I'm trying to get you out of my head,
But I smell you on my pillow.
All I can do is try and catch a glimpse of you,
So, I'm staring out my window.

Every time you walk away, I just wanna beg you to stay.
Every single time I commit this sin, I fear I'll never see you again.
And I see you in my dreams, whenever I fall asleep.
Can't you see?
This is what you do to me.

I know it makes you weak every time I kiss your cheek.
That's why I kiss you as much as I can.
And I just wish you could see, how much you mean to me,
But you will never understand.
So, I try to explain how much pleasure and pain
You cause me to feel.
Sometimes, I wanna die, but when I look into your eyes,
I know this is real.

Every time you walk away, I just wanna beg you to stay.
Every single time I commit this sin, I fear I'll never see you again.
And I see you in my dreams, whenever I fall asleep.
Can't you see?
This is what you do to me.

You've made me so weak,
And I'm starting to think
That I can't survive without you next to me.
Oh, baby, I never thought I'd see
This embodiment of ecstasy.
Oh, darling, you've set me free.
Oh, darling, you've set me free.

Every single time I close my eyes, I'm begging to be by your side.
You're the one that makes my heart skip a beat, and I'm kneeling at your feet.
And you're the girl of my dreams, whenever I fall asleep.
Can't you see?
This is what you do to me.

Happiness

Happiness is my drug of choice, but my dealers have run dry.
I’m feeling the itch.
I need my fix.

My Intervention

I'm nothing but a junkie, 
And happiness is my heroin.
Here I go again.
I'm too strung out to sleep, and it's been like this for a whole damned week.
Everything around me
Is a constant reminder of how I feel for you,
And I know you feel it too,
This feeling is just for you.

I drank my weight in joy, but now I'm hungover,
And my mind is destroyed. I'm slowly getting closer to
My breaking point, and I can't get over
The fact that you had the heart to save me.

You, alone, are my moment of clarity.
My sense of solace, and my source of solidarity.
And I want you to know
That you're a needed addition to my condition,
And you've stolen my heart, and kissed it into submission.
Oh, don't let me go.
So, take my hand, and don't let go,
Forever is my intention.
I'll pay my debts in love notes.
Baby, you're my intervention.

I'm so intoxicated by you,
And I'm spinning like a top,
But its oh so euphoric, 
I don't want it to stop.
You've got me too strung out to speak.
The slightest dose of you brings me to my knees.
I'm infatuated with you,
You've become my obsession.
It's so tiring, yet so inspiring.
You inspire me to be
The very best that I can be.

You're like an endless void, I've fallen into you
and I can't deploy this faulty parachute.
I'm such a fragile boy, and all I can do
Is hope that you can catch me before I break...
Before I break.

You, alone, are my moment of clarity.
My sense of solace, and my source of solidarity.
And I want you to know
That you're a needed addition to my condition,
And you've stolen my heart, and kissed it into submission.
Oh, don't let me go.
So, take my hand, and don't let go,
Forever is my intention.
I'll pay my debts in love notes.
Baby, you're my intervention.

Oh, I know you don't believe me
When I tell you that my heart is still beating.
And, oh, I know that looks can be deceiving,
But I swear to you that I'm still breathing.
I'm still breathing.

Reoccurring Dream

Once again, I’m standing in his doorway, looking at what I’ve done.
How can such a barbaric act give me such satisfaction?
I don’t know why it does, but it does. The feeling of dominance. 
Closure. Clarity. Anti-conformity. 
He won’t stop bleeding, and I won’t stop laughing.
But soon after, the feeling fades.
And I can’t wait to do it again tomorrow night.

Frozen

It's been roughly three days since I've left my room,
And I'm starting to think that is because of the absence of you.
I'm talking about no one directly,
More like everyone indirectly.
So, I lay here pathetically,
And, quite frankly,
I'm at that low point where I've lost my ambition
To open my phone and hit up the friends I've been missing.
Loneliness has taken it's toll.
It's placed all of these chains on my soul.
Just longing for someone to hold
Has left me oh so cold.
And I'm freezing down to my inner core,
Just like the heart of a filthy whore
Slowly does over time.
And the wind on the wind chime
Is making me lose my mind.
It looks like the only way to find
True happiness,
Despite all of my goals and my plans, 
And despite all of my so called "friends",
It comes down to this gun in my hands.
Although I'm petrified,
I'm sure this is justified.
My coldness is glorified,
And I'm wrapped in the arms of suicide.
