Love is nothing but a weakness,
A strange sort of emotion,
Putting up to the test
Your strength and your devotion.
It feels good for the first little bit
While you're hoping it will last.
But then you just go and sit,
As you watch it walk right past.
Then, every time you see it come
You struggle to hide the tears.
You cry and cry till your hurt is numb
And hope escape is near.
Every day, it happens again,
And you wish it could just stop.
It's just so hard to endure this pain.
This and death, I'd swap.
Then, one sunrise,
There's a different feeling.
Something so familiar, but filled with lie.
And in that moment, you realize you're done healing.

i call this a heptahedron.
i'm nothing but a washed up cliché
with pages of poetry locked behind my eyes
and forced under my damaged fingernails.
skin is my canvas, an empty slate,
and i'm painting stars in colors that do not have
names; colors that only exist in my mind.
every day is a wait for 11:11 and the opportunity
to discuss my darkest secrets with four-leaved clovers
and moving lights in the night sky.
i'm dancing on the tips of my toes
to avoid stepping on cracks in the pavement
and killing a family of ants.
i spend afternoons making up religions
and teaching them to my stuffed animals
just so i can f

The Things We Cannot Do
The things we cannot do...
I cannot cry
Because I don't want people
To ask me 'Why' or 'What's wrong?'
I have to smile
for fear that people
will see the emotion hidden
by secrets and lies
I cannot run
Because i am to afraid
of the future that lies in store
I have to hide
For people think I'm content now,
And those that know the truth, no longer trust me to be myself
I wish to confess, but the words won't come.

PTSD
- - -
every night you scream at someone. i try to tell you they're not there; they don't exist. but you can't hear me. your body writhes like a tornado and the covers are bathed with sweat.
it must feel like blood to you. that must be why you howl yourself hoarse. why i sleep with earmuffs gripped tight and dream of you dying.
(it used to be a nightmare, but now it's more of a wish.)

you mumble to the same someone while you eat those crumbly cornflakes. something about something that i don't think you entirely understand.
i don't know why i still make you a bowl every day. you think i would learn after the thirteenth time of broom

After I wrote this, it reminded me of a quote from One Tree Hill. I'm not sure which episode it is but I believe it is from season five. If anybody finds the exact episode, please let me know. It is said by Lucas:
Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else. Something that feels wrong only because it's so unfamiliar, and in that moment you realize you're happy.

Nicely done. The pain of love, the farcity of it all...I can relate with everything but the last stanza sadly.
