~~~ AUTHOR'S NOTE~~~
this is one of the most emotional poems i've ever written. when i read it, the voice in my head screams out every word of it. writing this brought me to the verge of tears. i'd like to brand this with a trigger warning – take care and stay safe!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
love is fickle and
fleeting; holding on
to promises that
are uttered by human mouths
and i do not trust
the human body
to portray something
so fragile and pure
my love is like a
raging fire, and
passion rages in
my heart
my love is the line
between love and hate
and people think that
i'm just desperate
but really i'm just
desperate for
an eclipse of lips
a love to make me feel
whole again
and i don't remember
what it's like to be whole
because death cut out
a hole inside of me
the fire is raging
burning what's left
of my reserves of
humanity
and i'm not sure
if i want
to live
anymore
because my heart
is fading fast
and my soul
shrouded in madness
shrouded in death
how i wish i
could
feel
again
it's hard to breathe
because i'm crying
so much, and my heart
threatens to burst into confetti
and i know how you
liked to paint the walls
black and blue with
your graffiti,
your art
which screams
"i'm giving up" and
"i think i'm done"
and you knew how i
felt the same about
fading away to
nothing because
you and i were freaks
suicidal freak shows
people love to laugh
but hate it when they're the victim
and now i'm just
rambling in the quiet
of my room
screaming
"no one listens
and i'm asking
please, just please
save me"
and of course,
nobody comes
and now i'm
longing
for
death
and i need
you so
please care
for me
