I’m terrified I’ll want to die
When the news travels down
The grapevine
I’ve been to that place
I’ve had my neck in the rope
I’m scared I’ll still fight
Against my own conscious will
When it comes to the kill.
pain
Life is nothing
I’m tired of life again. Or I’m tired of me. I feel a darkness surround me. Enveloping me. I don’t actively want to die, I just have a sense of hoping I might. It’s not the world is bad and people are bad or other such nonsense. It’s that I’m painfully indifferent to life. I don’t care if the sun is shining, or if something is just ‘wonderful’ I don’t care if it’s shit, or who is evil or who is not evil. I just don’t care because life is just a bleak blanket of useless nothing.
These broken parts
These broken parts
Frayed hearts
I feel it all
Take it as my own
Rocking like a child
On a rocking horse
Trying to ease everyone’s bleeding wounds
Upon my flesh
Lash after lash
A scar to seal what’s passed
Wondering which will be the last

unrequited love
My love has no potential
Trapped in my heart
Only the sky and I
Strictly confidential
Loving you from afar
I love you
It hurts
Take my breath away
Let me die in your arms
Dowse me in your scent
Unburden me
From this torment

If you’re new to this blog, how did you find me?
Apart
Setting myself apart
No heart on these sleeves
No tears for you to see
Squared myself off
No longer feeling part of this

When words aren’t enough
words aren’t enough
But i’m locke in
And words are all I have
But they don’t quite deliver
The picture
