The yearning ink
The ink you read bleeds through me, the words that are my yearning for you, become a part of me. I sink into my sheets, without the warmth that is you.
A long winter's day into a warm summer evening is all the more satisfying than without the prior.
You'll be here for the shine and glow that you will always accentuate.
I could never read the future before you, i can’t know what might eventuate, but as long as its with you…ill see that as true

A deeper kind of sad
Sometimes I need to take a long look in the mirror and remember what I am.
I can smile at myself, I can at anyone else.
I can forget but it hits me harder each time I remember.
The words used to describe me don’t fully define me.
Depressed and suicidal are two words that can’t capture the whole story.
I would say I am deeply sad.
In the way that when I'm happy I still am sad and when I'm glad I still don’t want to live.
I’m tired when I’m fully rested, I'm weighed down by myself.
like a scar, it can fade, almost until you can’t see it., but it...

Ash
The flower’s petals softly blow away as the weight of my grief is lifted
I'm dug out of the shallow grave I've buried myself in
I don’t have to breathe in the ash of my own burnt spirit when I'm around you
My eyes light up by the sun I'm able to see myself in the mirror and I see you right next to me
I'm dug out of the shallow grave I've buried myself in
I don’t have to breathe in the ash of my own burnt spirit when I'm around you
My eyes light up by the sun I'm able to see myself in the mirror and I see you right next to me

Spilt milk
Cut into me let it spill out
Not mine to give but yours to take
My passion and love; warm and red
Growing hotter and more tempting the longer I selfishly conceal it
Made for what I deserve
Not mine to give but yours to take
My passion and love; warm and red
Growing hotter and more tempting the longer I selfishly conceal it
Made for what I deserve

Constant state of Ohio
I am in Ohio; I wake up and look through my ohio mandated bars on my window. I go for breakfast and drink my ohio mandated grey smoothie. I pet my ohio dog ,it dosnt like it.
I get in my car to go to my work, I work in a ohio factory. We make the ohio smoothie packets that we eat everyday. It is a block of powder you put with water into a blender to make the signature meal.
I wait in traffic for 2 hours, I like to look at the advertisements for entertainment that cover the homes . I get 400$ taken off of my pay because I arrived at 3:04 AM, too late.

Hollow
I felt it in my chest, it started as a tickle. Then a pull. This sensation fills to my crest and almost spilling out. Creeping up my throat.
I am weak. My body shakes as the puling grows stronger and stronger until it turns to pain.
sweet soft pain, more like an ache.
My stomach turns as I stare at myself in the mirror. No one can see what I feel. I feel lighter and lighter each day that it eats at me.
I scream at myself from the inside but it only echoes until I can't hear it anymore. I go until I'm speechless. Each word tears a piece of...

Hours
I don’t have the time; I push my fingers against the glass trying to hold myself up. I won't stop slipping down. I will never get better, chunks of me fall and denigrate into sand.
I'm losing myself to time.
I can't let anyone see me like this, I'm fragile to the touch. I might fall apart if you push me too hard.
I am soft and delicate like the waves on the beach.
Everyone knows it, they all talk to me like I'm confused. My presence makes them uneasy as if I was already dead. I don’t understand what I should feel, I should accept my fate.

The Answer
I have a gift; I see what no one else can see, the reality carved into the universe that is yet to come.
I live life differently than others. My unique soul is blessed, I indulge in my gift all day, all night.
I lie there as everything around me melts away. I am searching for an answer, a reason why.
I live life differently than others; I spend my time in isolation. My peers do not understand my gift.
I will not try and make them.
I live, I eat, I breathe, I sleep. What more could I ask for? I already know it all.
I live my life differently...
