Mistakes of my youth,
Rattle inside my brain,
Ghosts that weigh me down,
Sink me deeper into despair.

Option
I am an option,
One you’ll tire of,
When another of yours,
Posts a sexier photo than I.
Strangled Thoughts
My voice is strangled,
Words cut off from the source,
I wish so much to tell you things,
But if I do, I wonder what you’ll think-
Of me by the end.
Drowning
I thought I could tell you everything,
Then I realised that by doing that,
I pushed myself further out to sea,
And now I’m drowning.
Home Bird
Home bird,
It’s time to start flying,
You’re not safe here.
Our Place
I used to stop by that place,
Memories of that night-
Haunting me like ghosts,
Only when they flattened it,
Did I know I could move from that spot.
Therapy of a Blank Page
I wonder if this is my therapy,
Speaking to a blank page,
It was always easier than-
Reading the disappointment on your face.
What is wrong with you?
I can’t believe you,
The arrogance,
To cross the boundary,
Do you even know where the line is?
Or are you determined to fuck me over?
Burdened with Thoughts
You make me feel like a burden,
Wire my mouth shut so I can’t speak,
So you don’t have to hear my pain,
You want me to be the strong one,
To carry the mistakes for the both of us.
Hidden Meanings
I thought you understood,
We were on the same page,
Or were all the words I said-
Devoid of all meaning to you?
It’s almost funny really,
You say you love me,
And yet you still continue to hurt me.
