so this is all i will ever be?

living seems like a promise that i never made.

You can’t deny it, that’s not good for you

Why are you trying to save him? You can’t deny it, he’s dead.

I just thought that if I pretended that he was still alive he would come back.

You know that's not how it works, a lie like that will make your heart heavy and waste your life.

I just wish I could be there for him, even make him happy again. If I just-

You love him.

How did you know? I used to really love him-

Just because your heart doesn't flutter when you see his image does not mean you don’t deeply care for him.

Well I do care about him a lot.

That is visible, but pretending that you can get everything your heart desires with no work is taking its toll.

Velvet dark

You make your home in the velvet dark

and in your soul a spectacular spark

Longing

This painful longing

Oh to be with you once more

What I would not give

Mars to Your Venus

your ideals, or how I’d decided them

disproved of every physical inch of my being

alas my skin tugged to conform to you

to redefine all I’d made of myself

everything ache for a hopeless chance

wishing indefinitely 

every new addiction

a fragment of what’d you’d rather leave

should rather leave 

with an everlasting Venus

The life of a pencil ඞ

As I put the pencil onto the page,

I notice how it glides almost effortlessly,

Spreading its knowledge and experiences,

To anyone who is willing to listen, to hear,

It cries as it relives the life it endured, 

Waiting, watching, wondering, if anyone,

Anyone will takeaway the misery it has been through,

It remembers all the biting, the scratching, the peeling,

All of the throwing, flinching, snapping,

It feels like it will never end.
