I wish I knew when it was

That someone wrote me off

As a space to be filled

And I wonder when this body

Was nothing more than

The perfect thing for a punch line

-"its just a joke"

You are a different person

To everyone you know

To one you are a liar

Or an overemotional crier

Maybe you are mean and dark

Or even like a shark

To someone you are really nice

And another your heart is ice

You are not the same person

To anyone you know

But none of that matters as much

As who you are to you

Why is the moon so lonely

When everyone sees it a lovely

You can mess with your words

To build people up

But don't mess with your words

To hurt me

It's okay to play with words

Not hearts

Why is the tongue

The fastest healing part

Of the body

When the tongue

Is the sharpest weapon

To ever be used

Against me

If I loved the person

That tried to ruin

The parts that were together

And normal

How much

Can I love the person

That fixes the broken parts

I thought were normal

In a world

draped in darkness

You managed to

paint with light

I'm watching you apart

Wondering what happens

Inside your mind

What do you see in me?

With those eyes that hold the sea

Would your heart ever skip a beat

A single time when our eyes meet

Have I been in your thoughts?

Or maybe even your dreams

Or is a dream of me a nightmare

Filling you with screams

I'm watching you apart

An amazing piece of art

Wondering if you knew

I love to dream of you

Spring is yellow

The air is sweet

The trees are neon

The world starts to heat

Summer is green

The nights are warm

The clouds are heavy

And hold a thunderstorm

Autumn is orange

The leaves drift in wind

The world starts to sleep

Destruction is the way to mend

Winter is blue

Rain becomes snow

Life has diminished

And is waiting to grow

The earth has phases

Everything work a hue

Some better than others

But a soul has seasons too

The stars aren't out tonight

And all I can think of is you

And how you saved my life

I owe you a thousand times through

The wind is so loud

I hope I helped you too

All because your help

I stopped the things I'd do

The animals are quiet

And I can tell you this

Because of you I'm better

I swear, pinky promise

You said you'd love me forever

But I guess that meant something

As different to mine as could be

"You were a dream" you'd say

But when did that change?

And why could I never just see

That the lies you would say

Were always the same

And were never told just to me

But I guess your lies were such a weight

I forgot forever had an expiration date

You think you are a mistake

A failure and heartache

That the dandelions planted

Are merely a weed

But flowers are flowers

Desire makes things bloom

So there must be something

Worth the fight of life

The only thing killing you

Is your mind

Where have all the birds gone?

Power lines hold deserted skeletons

But not a single feather

The skies have emptied

Backyard birdfeeders

Aren't even for birds

Masses and flocks

Have gone to three

But as I look at the wide open sky

Where have all the birds gone?

Everyone seems

Like cookie cutouts

With the same fake smiles

Mismatched to their cold eyes

That throw knives

And these cookie cutouts

Are all the same

It seems that's the goal

To make equally beautiful

And terrible spirits

But who can blame

The cookie cutouts

When they were molded

Rough and unwillingly

To perfection

But it's not perfect

These cookie cutouts

They're all the same

Exceptionally unexceptional

I feel like an extra in my own life

[bleakgreypoems]

Who am I?

I ask myself

As I lay awake

Alone

What am I doing

With my life?

As I simply try

To make a tomorrow

The ceiling remains

Blank and unchanging

On this cold 3am

But I have yet to answer

Who am I?
