In the grand scheme

Nothing has meaning. Nothing has worth.

dumb

idiotic at least

but sad at best

i live because of her

every moment the knife creeps out of hiding, i think of her and can't bring myself to do it

i'm the guy who falls in love and sees a new world

i'm the guy with no sense of self

i depend on others to keep me going

and i fear i hurt them

so when she leaves

it might not matter what i said now

and #IKeptLiving will be an irrelevant phrase

its been a while since i allowed myself to feel

but with you i feel every up and down to the extreme

and though the lows they break me

the highs they make me

and i want to live again

when is it time to give up?

is it fifth grade?

when you cried every night

because you thought god had given up on you?

is it seventh grade?

when you first brought a knife to your skin

for the sole purpose of pain?

is it ninth grade?

when the whole world was resting on your shoulders

weighing you down until you tried to kill yourself?

or is it later?

the second attempt?

the third?

no,

it was the day

you said I couldn’t be a boy

because I was born female and “that’s the way god wants me to be”

because god “doesn’t make mistakes”

AS IF I DIDN’T SPEND ALL MY LIFE THINKING I WAS A MISTAKE

AS IF I HADN’T PRAYED TO GOD EVERY NIGHT TO CHANGE ME, TO MAKE ME NORMAL

Ha

funny

that those few words

were my demise

that’s when I decided

it was time to give up

Blue Boy

Little blue boy

tell me

tell me

what’s a boy made of?

are you defined by your blue?

is that all that makes you?

is there nothing unique within?

Little pink girl

tell me

tell me

what’s a girl made of?

are you defined by your pink?

is that what you think?

is there nothing unique within?

So what do we do with a little pink boy

a little blue girl

does that make your lip curl?

what do we do?

with a little purple child

or is that too wild

for you?

Little blue girl

tell me

tell me

what’s a girl made of?

she’s defined by her traits

what she loves and she hates

she has something unique within

Little pink boy

tell me

tell me

what’s a boy made of?

he’s defined by his traits

what he loves and he hates

he has something unique within

So what do we do with a little pink boy

a little blue girl

does that make your lip curl?

what do we do?

with a little purple child

or is that too wild

for you?

Regret

You were my everything before

That terrible event

But now we are no more

Your message clearly sent

"We are no longer

What we used to be

For it seems that you

Love him more than me."

But I never loved him any more greatly

No, I never loved him at all

I was simply flattered in the moment

That's when it started to fall

I thought I was in love

With our suicidal friend

But I always loved you most

He and I were just pretend

He tricked me into thinking

I could live without your love

But now I break down with sorrow

From just thinking of

That moment that I spent with him

The briefest kiss we shared

I told you immediately

For I knew it wasn't fair

He manipulated me

He didn't even know

He might hurt himself

If I said no

So I didn't say yes

But I couldn't say no

This I confess

And is all I know

I've spilled forth my regrets

Please forgive me

I don't ask that you take me back

But just... Remember me

Why?

What's the point in living

When your life's already ended?

What's the point in making

If all falls to the ground?

What's the point in fighting

If you don't want to be defended?

What's the point in waking

When your dreams are safe and sound?

Everything

Ne'er had I loved another

Like I had loved you

Perhaps

I'd never really loved

'Til you came along

You

Were my one true love

And I–

I was just a phase

They say it's better to have loved and lost

Than to ne'er have loved at all

But they don't tell you

That when you love a love

You lose everything

To: N

Your love is like a sledgehammer to a piece of fine china.

Your grace is daemon tears upon molten wings that cry out for mercy with every breath you take

Your words are like unicorns, fake. And like rainbows, illusions. Yet deceit so natural and beautiful, it's easy to believe.

You are no cruel master to thine words, for they run freely, yet your cruelty is turned to mere mortal beings, humans, just like what you used to be. But what you shall be nevermore.

Summer Breeze

It's a hot summer day

And everything's going wrong

At least I thought it was

Until you came along

We disappeared without a trace

You brought me to a special place

Away from all the world's disgrace

You put a smile on my face

A hot day with a short sweet relief,

Baby feel that summer breeze

You're my escape, that sweet release

Oh baby be my summer breeze
