Current mood: sad
Subject: to be crazy like me
blood pumps
through
my house of bone
my tomb...
my glass shelter.
i need to escape.
constantly waiting
for when I can start
... Has my life already
slipped by?
liquid seeping out
the corners
dried and cracked
leaky

the faucet in my bathroom
reveals my face
distorted, blurried
i do not even recognize
this face
water splashes
water spots away
my blood drains
red to white
in the shiny silver.
i am not alive.
i cannot be

this is not what life is
i have drained this life

once drained
forever stained
with heartache

my eyes burn
with self-deprication
self-hatred
only because i let you
make mistakes
over and over
and
i'm out
of solutions.
i'm out of the answers
to make you stop crying
i cannot convince you
ever again
that this is what I want.

Yes..
the same things uttered
the same stale statements
tepid similes
and washed out metaphors

you love me like
i love you like
water hits the basin like
the sun goes down like
you give up.

No...
i cannot give you
one more benefit of a doubt
i cannot show you
what i feel
it is only mine-
I don't even want you
to know.

we speak to each other
vaguely
so later we can say
"oh sorry, you misunderstood."
i prepare myself
in so many ways
to feel better when you
let me
down.
always aware
that it is imminent
innate.
intrinsic.
but i am IRRATE

this is you at your finest
the short goodbyes
cannot tell me enough
that we are so far
from where I thought we were.

"do not cry over the things
you cannot change"
-but you make believe
everything is out of your hands.
i will not cry
god, grant me the serenity
when you do not ridicule
to accept the things I cannot change
i will not walk away
the courage to change the things i can
when you tell me you are wrong
and the wisdom to know the difference

i cannot make anymore excuses.

a lot of that sounds fimiliar... we all make our own mistakes, but if you happen to learn from someone elses, end it when you hear yourself say so.
