Distractions

Maybe there's something more

To these dreary days

Filled with hot drinks and Netflix.

However, just for now,

I will stay cuddled under blankets,

Letting the hot drinks burn away the pain

And letting Netflix keep my mind distracted.

Excepting for the few minutes between episodes and drink refills

That I am plagued by your memory,

Then just maybe

My heart will learn how to live once more

Without you in it.

[ink-of-life]

I laid in the grass

Staring at the stars

I begged Him

Where is my love?

Are they in school?

Are they across the world?

I could not stop looking

Into every stranger's face

Wondering if just maybe,

Maybe

They were my love.

It wasn't until my best friend

Found their love

That I realised

I lost my love

Before I ever found it.

Fuck

Fuck.

Fuck!

I can scream profanity until my throat bleeds,

I can sing songs of passion until your ears bleed.

I can punch the walls until my knuckles bleed,

I can cry because for you, my heart bleeds.

[ink-of-life]

I'm hidden away,

Seeking solitude in my room.

The light begins to fade,

And I really need to use the restroom.

The window lets the cold breeze in,

but I can't bring myself to get up.

I wonder how my friends have been,

Unable to stay focused.

My toes are frozen to numb,

And I still have to pee.

I refuse to eat even a crumb,

but now she's yelling.

I guess I have to move.

[ink-of-life]

I'm trying it a little different

Maybe you'll notice,

Maybe you won't.

I have too much baggage

And far too little self-esteem.

Perhaps this might help me,

Perhaps it might hurt me

But I want to grow

And I make my own choices.

[ink-of-life]

It's 2:24 and I don't know if I'm sane.

Lust, my truest bane.

I'm stuck here in bed

Thoughts of you stuck in my head.

My body shivers from head to toe,

A mess you've made of me,

And you don't even know.

Love me, it's my only plea.

[ink-of-life]

I don't care if you just made the biggest fuck up of your life, if someone is rude to you, I will fight them to the death. There's no room for that bullshit. Now come here, I'm giving you a hug. I love every one of your precious souls.

[ink-of-life]

There's a madness in the air.

Cars race in the streets

People bustling in crowds

Voices raise over one another

Mailmen speed from house to house

Lights keep the town alive at night

Children run to dodge snowballs

Until at last,

One morning

Everything stands still

The world holds it breath

As children's feet pad against the floors of every home

Until all at once

Their shrill voices collect and they dive into colorful gifts

And once more, the town is alive.
