Slip Through The Crack

That pretty poem you just read,

is full of so much pain she’s better off dead.

That gorgeous smile you’ve grown to love…

is just another way she’s learned to cover it up.

The beautiful picture she just drew,

depicts how she’s come to resent you.

That love letter you never wrote her…

is the single greatest thing that broke her.

That apology dinner you made her

came a little too late to save her.

And in that last letter she left…

do you realize she confessed?

All the ways shes been betrayed,

and all the lies she told herself to feel okay.

All the things that you didn’t do…

and all the things that you should’ve said, too.

It was all too much for her to take.

And don’t you dare show up at her grave.

She needed you when she was around

but you we’re always no where to be found.

Can you live with yourself now that she’s not at all?

And can you sleep, knowing your love or lack thereof, lead to her final downfall?

Listening, Girlfriend?

 

She said, “My life is like sex. Bad sex, that never should have taken place, but did.

There’s a peak.

Dramatic,

painful,

numbing,

sickening.

Then it gets quiet. The world rolls over and forgets I’m here for a little while. Tosses me to the side and goes to rest. Eerie rest, that leaves me awake and gazing into dancing shadows suspiciously. I listen to the breath of the world as it sleeps…undeserved peace.

Sorry is not enough.

Uncomfortable,

haunting,

disgusting,

messy.

Exhausting.

The good die young. It’s never something you get used to.”

I wanna love you but I cant.

Heart in a box with a lock, key in a bottle at the bottom of this sea of thoughts.

The only way to reach it is to drown. Nothing is ever what it seems. No one is ever who they claim to be. Love is not supposed to harden you from the inside out.

I dont wanna spend my life just tryin to figure me out…

So rock n roll, so cooperate suit…

so damn ugly, so damn cute.

So well trained, so animal…

so “need your love”, so “fuck you all.”

I’m not scared of dyin, I just don’t want to…

If I stopped lyin I’d just disappoint you.

I come undone.

It’s nights like these…when it’s just you and me.
