I wish for a time machine
Like to go back and wipe slates clean
The pain I would erase or at least transplant
Hurts me because I know I can't
I try accepting the way things are
Missing you safely from afar
Last summer was attached to your hip
I longed to spend every day in your grip
I'm happy you finally got what you wanted
Don't feel like it's really the treasure you hunted
My sadness my only company
Prefer the dark because then I can't see
Heart and how brokenly bruised it beats now
Happiness beautiful if you know how
To dance in the rain embracing shame
Love to me is a ******-up game
It is unknown the length of time it will hurt
Looking for saltwater stains on my shirt
I can't find proof of my sorrow
I believe a weight will lift tomorrow
I can tell suffering will soon end
Every moment a step closer til I mend
No shortcut to bliss and a calm state
We are born bawling
An inevitable fate
And die without warning
Cruel final blow
Putting end to everything we know
I'd rather feel icy touch
Than absence of your fingers
Despair
Disappointment clutched
Fear
Traces linger
Fatigue
Constant stress
And everything else we despised
I'd rather feel these than nothing I guess
Pain better than desolation disguised
You dragged me down darkened road
Threat of danger was a low-pitched hum
Senses burning seared and slowed
Rather feel the fire than be numb
Perceiving nerves stretch with agony
All I do is survive
Prefer ache over dull monotony
It proves that I'm still alive
Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Smoking myself crazy
In the wind hear your voice
If truly making you happy
I support your choice
I love her loving you
Embrace and sharp cold words
Fear not you moving on
But not moving forwards
For all we have been through
Turns and coils my distress
A mind ferocious and primal
Tamed by loneliness
All the thoughts go unsaid
Linger in air
If only each one could be gathered
Carried away somewhere

I decided to write
One last time
With icicles of ink
Sharpened words,
That slowly disperse
Every mean word said to me
I write
And I write
Every heartbreak
I let it flee with no fight
No tears,
Just raindrops,
No chills down my spine,
My heart devoid of fear
I take icicles of ink
I shove it in my heart
The words do not pierce,
They bleed from my pocket,
They spill,
Raw,
And pure
No frostbites
No frozen tears.
Do you realize how much you mean to me?
A genuine smile on your face all I want to see
Near to my heart hold the image of your face
It's one piece of you impossible to erase
Every moment we spend together helps carry me through
Lucky to have somebody in my life as special as you
An acrostic I wrote my boyfriend for Valentine's Day
I'm thinking of way things were
Words you used to say
Shimmer of hope in your eye
Details never went away
I marveled at brilliance
The most beautiful scenes
Raised to every occasion
Glass to toast our dreams
Two hearts grew united
Midnight confessions
Relish the intimacy shared
Secure in impressions
I am left only memories
Imagination leaping wild
Magic carpet is out of control
Pulling back to days we both smiled
To moments
Cherish the most
Syrupy and sour intertwine
Into history etched forever
Stone with fading lines
Very isolated I have been
Fitting you are unaware
Roots thrive while mine are dying
One way you show you don't care
Two courses separated suddenly
Words I am desperate to hear
Deep down know you don't feel the same
The only thing that's clear
2-
How could I get hopes up high?
Heart was far too heavy to fly
And body lacks a pair of wings
Tried to come despite these things
Why did I not expect the worst?
Can't imagine being put first
I cannot imagine how it feels to be needed
Can't imagine not being poorly treated
Losing is a task at which I excel
Don't let me go through more hell
Don't allow me to fall further than I am
Won't ever again about me give a ****
It hits me with sadness to see you don't care
So wistful because I have nobody there
To know other thoughts take up your mind
Disheartening and I can't help but wonder if you're blind
I cannot hug you because you are physically too far
Can only sigh and wish upon a star
Distance our enemy keeping us from peace
Every day forced to spend alone makes interest decrease
