If I do
1 am
SAY IT
Are we as close as you seem to think we are?
Decay
my torso
Dear You,
the effects of happiness
remember
I love you
My friends, there's something I need to say
My friends, I have something I need to admit
My words
For the others
Proud
How?
Next Year
Till the end
I can write...
a child of the sky
What it feels like
Now
Desperation
a pain
Please, don't do this to me
I could, but I won't
A reason
You'll never read this
a fear of feelings
Cold Mornings
My Anxiety
I'm too scared to say it
freedom?
A Letter to My Inspiration
To the One Who Gives Me Courage
Older
It's your decision
To the people I need to walk away from
i'm ready for something new
Do you see red?
Searching for a way out
the block in my head
Looking for a new heart
Feel it, and then, let it go
For you
You're Sam, I'm Dean, Except We'll Be Okay
To Those Who Need It (To You, To Me)
Don't you worry about me
do I have friends?
Where does your love come through?
Do you know?
my favorite part
A ledge
why not platonic love?
right?
wrath
i know
Dear Future Sweetheart,
frozen body
my dear friend
my everyday
nearly drowning
ink on my skin
thank you for your help
not made of dreams, simply unreal things
is this me?
a mask?
october
The warmth I share
If
sleep
out of billions
At least
the little things
is this something?
my secret? it's nothing
plight
For my cats
the best nights
i'm pathetic, i know
another attempt, another mess to clean up
my ocean
i want to heal
how have you been?
winter blue
I can see the magic within you
I am loved
What's inside?

not even a god can see into one's soul

He possessed
a godly stare,
it was
a luxurious,
burning
blade,
that seemed
to cut
right into
the heart
of who
you are.
But
I have learned
that the eyes
betray
nothing,
mean
nothing.
Windows
to the soul,
they are not,
for I have searched,
reached,
for a semblance
of acknowledgement
towards
the emotions,
the pleas,
in my eyes
and found
nothing.
Simply
coldly
shining
eyes.
Thus,
I am sure,
that
despite
the power
he may have,
he could
never know
of the truths
my eyes hold.
