Dive Deep into Creativity: Your Ultimate Tumblr Experience Awaits
In a world
as creepy as a graveyard,
one should seek solace
in the flowers rested upon the grave.

My sweater unravels,
A thread locked around a knob.
As I walk away, my sweater becomes undone,
Back to the single-stringed rope it once was.

You don't notice
The everlasting sorrow
That's drowning out
The life in my eyes.
I'm weeping inside,
But you're only seeing
Soft flesh
Carrying a fabric
That lays loosely over my body.
I am but merely an item,
That had been claimed
The moment you rest your body
Against mine.
All my self worth plummeted
In a matter of seconds,
And I have never felt so ashamed.

I thought you'd turn back.
I thought you'd reach out for my hand.
I fell thinking you'd be there at the end.
But all that remained were ghosts of promises.
Perhaps I should've screamed harder,
when you left me there in the dark.
All I ever knew was your touch.
And all I ever did was wait for your return.
Silence lays above the trees.
But the storm within me rages on.
I need you to make me warm again.
A gentle touch of yours is enough to calm me.
Please don't go along now that you're free.
Every once in a while come by me.
Without your hot tears and quiet voice,
the bones in me are all lonely.
One by one they call out to you.
Letters of my name make up the loneliest number,
when you no longer whisper them at night.
Love is never enough,
and promises are empty words in the end.
Why did we let go of each other?
Maybe we should've held hands tighter,
and run away far into the universe.
But now it's too late.
You've found another.
Life is too short to cry over past lovers.
But I hope I find you again.
Somewhere along the border of the galaxy.
Tell me, Atlas. What is heavier: The world or its people's hearts?
