God gave me the ability to hunger for better, but never the will to satisfy it.

god is this love?

god is this self hate?

loving someone who has no intention of loving you back.

is this me using the blood my heart is bleeding and trying to paint a pretty picture of us?

can there be a pretty picture of us?

can there be a pretty picture with me in it?

There is something hilariously sad about walking right past someone you used to know. You walk and think “i didn’t always walk alone, we used to walk together”

#alternate version of the quote: hey i know you we didn’t always walk apart #maybe one day soon we will walk together again :)#or maybe these are just the ramblings of a heartbroken old friend :)#spilled ink #spilled words #short quotes #quotes #my writing #my quotes #original quote #writing #writing by me #nostagiacore #nostaliga #old friends like lost teeth #old friendships #raw lines #short poetry #poems

I raised my hands while they pray to a god i don’t know

A god i wish to know

A god i beg to know

I reach further hopping to reach him

To reach something

I stop trying, keep my hand raised but look around the room in envy

I look hoping to find someone else struggling to find god

I see no one

I only see people content with their belief

Confident with their belief

i wish i was a bowed head

Touching a god I am confident is there

But i’m not

I am a raised head looking for the god they praise

Prayer ends

We shake hands

We hug

Then we sit

I open a bible and look for god in the pages

Your eyes shine bright

Your smile the widest i’ve ever seen

The love and admiration in your voice

makes me melt

how i wish you were talking about me

i sit with the grief. I hold its hand and kiss it’s forehead. I tuck it in bed and allow it to sleep next to me. I cannot let it go. I cannot let it leave. It is all i have left of you. This grief is my sick comfort.

i want to be the manic pixie girl

who’s death inspires change in the male protagonist

cause though she has one purpose for a short time

its a purpose nonetheless

i want purpose

and i will put my all into my craft

because i cannot give it to a human being

without giving my darkness too

i cannot give you my all knowing i will destroy the only light in my life

with the darkness that slips out my pores

so i will flinch no matter how much i want your touch

oh how icarus flew before he fell

even the sun stared in awe of his godly glory

and oh how he fell

to the depths of the ocean to continue pushing his limits

he was a god in human skin

so he melted it off
