lonely thoughts

I run to the forest, 

The colors remind me

Of the color my eyes aren't. 

 

Your screams are still in my ears,

They still echo

Against the blank canvas out here. 

 

It feels like I'll explode

Somedays, when my thoughts

Are too much to handle. 

 

The indecision grows

Like a new born tree,

Just never quite ready. 

 

All your words are right—

I'm in denial about my life. 

The world is fading to night. 

 

Out here it is silent,

And I can think and wonder

About all of the choices I made. 

 

Sometimes, the silence is too much,

And I'll just cry against a tree.

Maybe then it'd be loud enough. 

 

But this place grows on me,

It's the place where I escape. 

The place where I can't make any more mistakes.

  • i'll stay forever

    Every day, I sit and stare

    at you talking about what others consider nonsense. 

    I'd call you a wordsmith,

    Staged-like words flowing off the tip of your tongue. 

     

    I hunch in the corner of the group,

  • time and time again

    my heart was ripped apart in seconds

    and it only took a few hours to be stitched up again.

    those stitches won't stay

    just like I know you won't.

    you leave the conversations like deer,
