What Hurts More Than a Break-up (Version 1)

Title: Scared Of The Ending

A friendship with you is something i don't want to lose,

But why as time goes by i feel like i'm losing what i feared to lose?

I know your soul,

You know mine.

But after those five years,

Why do i feel like you are replacing me?

She calls you her bestfriend,

And so do i.

You know her secrets,

You even told her mine.

While your secret stayed with me,

No one else could make me say it out loud.

3:00 pm, after school, you called me to carry your project.

I refused because i was upset with you.

You didn't care,

Just a sorry and you thought that was enough to lift the weight off my chest.

As we walked home i was just behind you,

While you two are laughing like i wasn't there.

It hurts more than a break-up,

Is it because i'm changing?

I don't want to hate you,

But my heart feels heavy whenever i think about it.

I've accepted you fully,

I never judged you in any way.

But why did you replace me so easily?

Are you tired of being my friend and now letting me try to get the memo?

I don't want to hate you,

But it hurts more than the time i got rejected by the girl i had loved for 2 years.

I miss the friendship we had,

Even if it hadn't ended.

But it feels like it's already ending,

It feels so lonely.

I'm scared to be alone again,

I'm going to be the girl with no friends again.

You're my only friend i ever considered true,

Now i feel like you're just like everyone else.

It hurts more than the time i found out my crush liked someone else,

But i don't want to hate you, because you were once my everything.

If Only There Were Labels

If only the souls I met wore signs,

Like: “Will drain you dry,” or “Heals through time.”

A little tag stitched under the skin—

“Good for a season,” or “Do not let in.”

I’d stop mistaking chaos for charm,

And quit hugging snakes who mean me harm.

I wouldn’t need tarot to spot your weight,

Or therapy bills to learn too late.

Some walk in pretty but plant decay—

I just wanna know:

Are you here to build or take away?

Sunsets are ephemeral

The colours splash out, blooming like flowers

It soothes me

The sun saying I'm leaving, but I'll be back again tomorrow

I hope one day someone will look at me that way

take me to the lake where all the poets went to die.

UNLEVELLED

It is when alluring fireworks explode in my sky,

Dazzling lights shine before my eyes,

And each of my nerves prances in euphoria.

Or when the tears moist my cheeks

And smudge my vision,

The world loses all colour

And everything becomes black and white.

Also when it all seems to be melting away

As anxiety tingles from my scalp to my toes

And I kick my heels as time jogs like a snail.

Yet beyond the tip of my nose,

The world runs parallel to me;

So contrary to the emotions

Swelling inside.

Unaffected! Uninterrupted!

It’s awful, isn’t it?

When the ambience around

Insults your aura….!

“ive always loved butterflies” she said

as she looked at him, with her teary eyes

“did you know that?”

he remained silent

every night she’d give herself away

break herself down so much

hoping to leave a smile on his face

but even then she realized he could never be satisfied.

her tears mixed with with a pool of her blood as she felt her shower sting more and more

unappreciated she felt.

unwanted, unloved.

disgusting.

she wanted to feel more then what was being taken from her

every night

but though she attempted to run from her issues

her demons never left

and as she watched her tainted blood

stain her porcelain skin

she still thinks she’d do it all again for him

because she thinks pain is love

its all she’d ever receive.
