"The simplest way that i can understand therapy is that we're born a certain
way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives
trying to unravel it and ultimately align ourselves with who we really are." ~Billy Corgan


The cold metal
against my skin.
The suspense of waiting,
the thread grows thin.

The time flies by,
Hiding shadows,
the one's that are inside.
Hiding my pain.

A hateful spark
In his black eyes.
The cold metal sinking
so deep inside.

Shadows consume
all that is left
leaving an empty shell
of what I was.

Liquid velvet
against silver
and spilling on the ground,
There's no time left.

I wrote this after my Boyfriend and I broke up... It was kinda about him killing me, but my friends say it sounds like suicide...

“maybe I can help”

“Ah, yes, you want to be a writer don’t you?”

“You say that as if it’s a bad thing”

“No, no. just a lonely thing. Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly than the lives in the world you actually live in.

this is beautiful. i think youd like my "sweet angel" or "Wind, trees, and moutains" (the second one isnt posted yet though) but yeah, this really shows your emotion. i love the line "liquid velvet"
