Poured

I poured out

all the words

and the draining feeling

is nothing at all

but empty








Crazy

you can be the crazy

to my psychotic


you can be the sarcasm

to my jokes


you can be the paranoia,

to my black outs


and you can be the real you

to my real me

because you understand,

you get me,

and I get you


in all the crazy messed up world,

with abuse and trauma,

we get each other,

and that's more then anything else











Enough

I am a good person

I remind myself

over and over

hoping that I believe it


when will I see

that having self love

will not take away

loving other people


it is not one or the other

black or white


I am good enough

I whisper

but I can't hear myself

through the cry of someone else's

need for help





Make Love
Make love to me

I beg and call out

And you use that as a joke

While you being

The inky person I thought would take it seriously

I call you name out

Into the wind

But no response comes

I look out into the abyss

It calls my name

And as I try to jump

To finally save myself from the pain

You tie me up

So I can see the jump

But not actually fall in

You think this helps

Hurting me

Instead of just giving me the means

To end it all

You think that what I need

Is your company

I have a friend for that

I need to be able to form a relationship

With trust and love

To be where we were and

For you who went through

What I went through

To love me anyway

To get through the borderline part

Of new relationships

And get to the part

Where I am stable

I can only heal

After that

And this fucking sucks

It hurts like hell

When I want you

And you see me as a joke

Too much of a mess

To even after

You still don't find me good enough

For sex





Wrong
You are wrong

What I wanted to form

Was there

And the insecurities

Got in the way

You pushed me through

I kept seeing the break of day

You saw the happiness spark in me

I know you did

The real me shone through

In the wind and sunlight,

In the jumping of poodles

In the naked arms

How can you see me

Breaking through the ice

Feeling stable

And rip that away

Saying that it's what I need

You are wrong

What I need

Is for you to show me

That I am worth it

That I can form stable relationships

I trust you

You don't hurt me

In ways that I am used to being hurt

You don't use me

In ways I'm used to being toyed with

I just need you to want me

To love me

To show me that I can get through one

Just one fucking stable relationship

That if I try and get past the first hard parts

I can create something more

And that I can get better

But until I make one good relationship

The fear, the depression

Won't ever let me go






No
You say no
While touching me
Cloudying my mind

I lose focus
And all I can see is you

You say no
In between kisses
Breaking me apart
But I can't stop
The rough edges that slice into me
But get soothed by your ice touch

You say no
While holding my hand
Burning me
With every inch of naked skin is touched

And you say no
To my arms bleeding
While you hold the knife





Far away
As long as I start over
And move far away
I can pretend that I'm okay

Until the uninvited fear
Catches up
And I have to move again

And when the time comes
That I run out of places to hide
I will have lost contact with you
And you will not stop me
From ending my life





Happy suicidal thoughts
As the car
Comes racing towards me
And skids away
I find myself disappointed
He didn't ram into me
Killing me

As I cross the street
While looking down at my phone
I am not relieved
As I get to the other side
Unharmed

I want to die
Then I see your face
And I get happy
But as the happiness takes hold
You continue to break my soul
And although I am happy
I am still wanting
Death

You touch me
Holding me while I sleep
Making me feel safe and comforted
And as I wake
To see you resting

I sneak out the door
Because I can't look at you
And say goodbye once again
And I break
Every time I listen my grip
And let go of your hand,
Being the first to let go
Watching you drive away
Begging myself to be strong

Cause every time I walk away
It'll make me stronger
As I make the final jump
So as you sleep
And hold me
And I lift your arms to wiggle out

Remember me as the girl
Who had hope,
Jumped in puddles to make you shake your head and smile
Who pulled her face to the sun
And was happy by the wind in her hair
The one who picked up chickens and cats
Just to make them feel loved
Remember me
As the girl who loved you
Who wanted you to be okay

Not as the girl
Who didn't get close enough to your heart
As to break it yet still managed to leave
Not as the girl
Who had flash backs
In your bed at night
Or made you angry

But remember me
As happy
As someone you wanted to be with
Remember the songs
The laughter
The cuteness that you saw
The smiles

And forget all the rest
Because the end came
And the rest won't ever hurt you
Or pull you away from your life again
