fuck your feel good bull-shit.
so much pain felt in months. the days cease to collide. i am breathing deeper now. avoiding at all costs, the feeling that i feel when i FEEL. more fucked up, than ever before. i am angry. this hurt that continues to plague my skin. it consumes what is left of my ache and my pain.
FEELMESOTENDER. with your loving hands, i fail to commit adultery. although i know, i know him and it would be that easy. you wont ever keep a promise, i won't ever commit a sin. and i am paying for your mistakes, in him. he is small and ever so loving. and i mean threads to him. acres and miles. he is my everything and all, and i am his next of kin. believe it when i tell you, i have nothing else within.
IMNOTDRUGGED AND I SHOULDBE
IM NOT ON DRUGS CAUSE THEY FAIL ME
IM NOT DRUGS AND I SHOULD BE
IM NOT ON DRUGS CAUSE I SHOULD BE
IM NOT ON DRUGS AND I NEED TO
IM SELF MEDITATING MY MEANS TO
SURVIVE.

im'back
it is where it is. and we consume. her and i. we and him. him and her. we and them. i wish for a simplicity that isn't under oath. we blame eachother for the faults that are within. he brings trouble to the life which is him. and as she crosses the street, her limbs are no longer in tact. she is dragged, and remembered as such. poor elderly heart. i feel his remorse in my veins.
and she cries,
im sorry old friend, im sorry again.
and she cries,
im sorry old friend, im sorry again.

ive sat by the weak and weary
ive fed him while he couldnt move
i met the demon of cancer
in young and old
ive sat with the addict
and told him in strengths
i believed in what could be
ive sat amongst the survivors
who saw their lovers die
and ive held their hand
and looked to the sky
as if to say "I'll see you soon, oh loved one"
hardship, after hardship, after hardship.
and to think-these were the people closest to me
ive sat around weeping too many days,
and now i am much too strong for your pettiness.
