Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Death is creeping in
I feel it in my skin
Can I reach the light
If I don’t want to live
Holding on to life
Is not my fight to fight
If I’m not with you
remembering your beautiful laugh feels like a knife through the heart
I'll search for you in every person I meet
They say being addicted to a person is more dangerous than being addicted to a drug. Too bad I've never been one to heed advice.
I can't give you the stars
Because they aren't mine to give away
But I can carve your name into my skin
Because I was always yours to begin with
Bittersweet
I love you and hate you, both at the same time.
I love the way you say my name, but I hate that it's always out of disappointment.
I love the way you smile, but I hate that it's never towards me.
I love the way you talk, but I hate that you would never talk to me first.
I love the way you look, but I hate that you never look at me.
I love the way you care about others, but I hate that you never care about me.
I love the way you pay attention to detail, but I hate that I'm the only one you ignore.
I love the way you just exist. But I hate that it wouldn't matter to you if I didn't.
I hate loving you.
But you love hating me.
Curiosity
You always greeted me with a smile
Asked me how I was, how my day was going
I smiled back and told you I was fine
But I think you knew I was lying
Because my smile never quite reached my eyes
The way yours always seemed to do
And sometimes the words came out flat
Like I never really believed them
You were always the curious cat
You poked and prodded till I gave in
I resisted a lot, putting up walls
But you broke them right down
But curiosity has a heavy price
You couldn't handle what you saw
The expanse of my damage was unfathomable
Too much for you to stomach
You quickly tried to backpedal
But the damage was done
In your hurry you stepped on my heart
Which was already broken, and now crushed
The horrors of my soul were too much for you to bear
And I can understand why it was so
Because I've lived with them this long
And you never got a chance to get used to them like I did
You abandoned the shattered pieces of my heart
I tried to pick them up and mend them
But the jagged edges just cut me deeper
And left me bleeding once again
They say curiosity killed the cat
But it wasn't you who died
It was the endless possibilities that we could have had
And I was left with the ghost of what could have been
Maybe it's better this way
You'll be safe now, away from me
But the fact that hurts the most is that
Your curiosity was what led us to our demise
