skin loves fever

you beat the kindness and care out of me

you can’t treat me like i don’t exist
if i don’t

you can’t ignore someone
if they aren’t around to speak

you can’t use someone
who doesn’t exist.

or maybe you can
but at least i won’t be there to care if you do.

now i won’t be hurt by any of you.

gonna walk walk walk, four more blocks, plus the one in my brain…

suicide eyes

vicious cries

the many reasons why

I’m never heard

The lines you draw

in the slipping sand

slips right through your hands

the lines your draw

are always blurred

a bit uncomfortable

a bit disturbed

and once again

there’s that voice that’s never heard

I could fall away too

slip away from all of you

just like the sand

let me ask you then

will you then understand

how much you demand

of me

would you still demand the same

if I were still to be

here with you

if you only knew

how far away I am

yet how close I am

to the end

maybe then

you would treat me better than just a friend

but people never know what we have

until it’s gone

and I’m not the only one

I’m not the only one

I’ll never be the only one

singing the same old line

of the same old song

of how people

rarely ever change.

Pale exit

Suicide eyes

vicious cries

the many reasons why

I’m never heard

The lines you draw

in the slipping sand

slips right on through

your careless hands

the lines your draw

are always blurred

a bit uncomfortable

a bit disturbed

and once again

there’s that voice that’s never heard

I could fall away too

slip away from all of you

just like the sand

let me ask you something

will you then understand?

how much you demand?

of me

would you still demand the same

if I were still to be

here with you?

if you only knew

how far away I am

yet how close I am

to the end

maybe then

you would treat me better than just a friend

but people never know what we have

until it’s gone

and I’m not the only one

I’m not the only one

I’ll never be the only one

singing the same old line

of the same old song

of how people

rarely ever change.

Eye roll

Don’t talk to me

I’m nice

You use

So next time you are feeling down

I’m sure you can find some bitch

To dick around

You are a stranger to me now

Because you get what you give

Peace out bro

Goodbye wolfie

What you can’t seem to understand
and never have understood
–
is that since the first day i met you
i always wanted you
i loved you
from the moment i saw you

We were just friends for a long time
and were close but had a falling out
and i didn’t hear from you for 5 years
just like that
and it hurt like hell.
you had a girlfriend
and so i (even though it broke my heart)… moved on

then one day out of the blue
you came back
and i didn’t treat you like a stranger
i wasn’t angry or resentful

but now you’re out of my life again
ignoring me like i mean nothing
like i meant nothing
and this is after we actually were in love

i’m still in love
but
i can’t do anything about what you do
i’m not going to force you to talk to me
it’s obvious you have found someone new who you
call your wife.
i am not your friend because you don’t treat me like a friend
you haven’t been there
you haven’t even cared to see if I’m okay

so i let you go
and from now on
i will stay away
but forever this time.

we had something amazing
and you listened to a stupid bitch
who you and i barely knew
and now i don’t even know you
anymore

But it’s okay
i can’t feel bad or sad
that you don’t even care about me
the way i care about you
well… cared… before now
i can’t feel bad
about this anymore

i’ve tried
i’ve cried
i’ve reached out
with no reply
and now i see
that you don’t give a damn about me
AT ALL

and that’s okay
you want it this way
so
you got it
i release you from my heart and mind
forever.

i promise you that.

What gets lost

I can only care

As much as you care about me

But I’ll be gone

And I won’t ever come back

Wasted time

Your hurt

Isn’t more important

Than my own

But I’m not hurting others

Because of it.

I don’t like anyone more

Than I love myself.

That may sound selfish

And it’s true

But I’m not selfish

Like most of you

Take it as you will

In the end

All that really matters

Is how you make someone feel

When you aren’t at your worst

When you don’t need them

Don’t mistake my kindness

For something more

Only good

To hit up

When you’re down low

And you’re in need

Don’t expect More

From anyone

When you only feed them crumbs

I’m not waiting

Too many people like you

To waste my time

Hidden

I think you are beautiful
…
I will love you
from
the distance
you have put between us.

Giving only half of you
takes away all of me

but my love for you
will be somewhere in the space
between
you and me
just without a trace of my face

you can be as free as you want to be
just without me

I am not the same

you don’t like my intensity
call me drama
when life is full of fuckery
and fakery
but I’m not fake
I’m not ever gonna be like you
just for your fucking sake
but the loss of you
came at the loss of a part of me
and all you did
was see it as drama
well fuck you
when you someone you love dies
and you just get angry and drink yourself into a further fucking asshole fuck
I’ll just carelessly watch you
and remember how you crushed my love
and laugh as you run a muck
shit out of luck
and feel nothing for you
because you killed that in me
the day you
made the choice
to not care
and make me feel bad
for being human
for being real
for thinking I could count on you
for thinking you could deal
but you only know
how to take, use steal
and beat the love right out of me
but now I can clearly see
how fucking scared you are
of being close
so scared you made yourself believe
that you don’t need anything
don’t need anyone
don’t need anything
all that is real
you hate
and think is fake
and I don’t want anyone who’s too afraid
of anything.

don’t get fucking old

the magic wears off
because you know how it works
it’s become boring
just as much as you.
I don’t want to lose it.
losing it makes me lose it
and ages a person
faster than the years
I want excitement
and 3 am adventures
chasing the moon
and discovering something amazing
about someone or something
that I never knew before
responsibility is a bit overrated
just don’t hurt anyone
and have as much fun as you can
and stop masking your fear
with the cloak of “freedom”
selfishness is good in doses
but we share this world with so many people
we need to care.
I miss the young you
I miss the young me
kidnap me
right now
and let’s discover something new
or rediscover something new
–
and while we’re at it
we can chase the moon
and feel alive
like children do
(or hopefully still do)
once again.

we’re not dead yet.
