folie

journal-like entries taken from my journal filled with poems and tales that might not make much sense to you... More

the red thread
the world's caving in, please hold me
speak sweet nothings
sanctuary
beautiful lies
disappearance
confessional
unease
credit where it's due
i'm not even second best
i'm scared to tell you this
i shouldn't miss you
an overwhelming feeling of loss
a crescent moon in the sky, just for us
pinned down
a faded yellow house
why did i pick the latter?
red suits you more than blue
tears for no reason why
a moment of contemplation
a mossy bridge
still breathing
something like the mandela effect
maybe some finality
why can't i tell you
i am no angel
my last drop of youth
faded scars (old habits die hard)
vigilance
escapism
ignorance is bliss
handprints on a window
not satisfied
your actions hurt more
just anger
and forever you'll stay
prick me once, shame on me
if only
she writes to you with love
my fall from grace
get over yourself
you know how it feels to be in pain
inner grief, outwardly
empty promises
the woman in the river

until we meet again

it's so hard to keep you engaged

all i want is your attention and all affection

and i'm trying so hard to remain focused

but my vision is so hazy as i'm trying to stay asleep

just a few more minutes, please

i don't think you can understand how much of a struggle i put up against to stay here

all of this just to sit here and listen to you

you always tell me everything i want to hear

(more like all the things i need)

and every syllable, word, and sentence that leaves your lips, i grasp each one

dreading the moment this will stop

as it always does, every morning

i would go far enough to call it torture

even though my mind is what inflicts it

granting me time with you

a fresh start each day to fall for you

and just as i am so close to you

i feel it, and i panic

i frantically try to hold on, telling you not to let go, please don't forget me again

you have no idea what happens

you can't even hear what i'm saying

i'm already gone

the sun wakes me up.

i hate opening my eyes to no one

but i forget you, just like every day before

yet i am left with a feeling of loss, without knowing why
