You've dipped your tongue deep into my sorrows and said -
"this would go well with fries,
KFC should make a sauce out of your sadness,
I'm sure they'd hit the jackpot",
and I think it's funny that
you're always thinking about hitting the jackpot,
as if it wasn't enough for you
to win just by being born,
haven't you heard that lightning
doesn't strike twice?
It's surreal to watch you
turn this mountain that
has been resting on my shoulders
into pebbles,
just by touching it with your fingers -
I believe this is the kind of magic
that caused the burning of the witches
and your desire to devour all of my grief
should be definition of greed

Effects of Radioactivity
Horror Scenario
Was this power plant not a big ember,
Ignited through the reactor’s tremendous energies?
Its flaming beam cut the courage of firefighters
In ever-consuming ectomies.
In the firestorm, they saw nothing but sparks;
Again and again, heat waves flood after flood.
What here burned will never bloom again,
No phoenix will be resurrected.
It will only survive the wind and its shrill disphonies.
Afterwards
Even today people in the region suffer from radiation exposure.
Whole areas were contaminated.
Especially children are affected by the radioactive food:
The children of Gomel, just a few kilometers away from Chernobyl.

I've finally gotten what I've wanted
All this time, I've had to wait
People who love me for me;
They were hidden in people I was taught to hate
Why were they so afraid?
Why did they tell me all those lies?
Why did I grow up believing I wasn't wanted
Why are where so many "why's"?
There's so much hatred inside of me
I don't even know who it's towards anymore
They fucked me up so bad
And what the hell for?
So they didn't look bad?
So they didn't have to face the truth?
They didn't take responsibility
Because what's to lose?
Just a child's sanity
But who cares about that, right?
Let's just drug em up
And lock em down tight
But not anymore,
This never ending pain
Is going to be the death of me
There's no reason for it
Really I should be happy
This pain has no routine
It comes and goes at random
When it comes, it holds me at gunpoint
And demands no ransom
There is no way to shake it off
It's like a puzzle piece that won't fit
It's like a bone chilling scream
But only you can hear it
And no one ever really understands
Or at least that's how it seems
And no one ever really cares
At least that's what it makes you believe
The doctors
They just prescribe you drugs
But they don't understand
That the drugs only make you numb
Or maybe they do
And that's the whole point
But if
They said
"Things will get better soon"
But a year passed by
And next month will be two
There's still that void in my chest
The one you used to fill
When you died
They tried to pack it full with pills
But pills don't change anything
When they wear off, you're still not here
And my dreams
Have since turned to nightmares
I know I've said it before
And I'll say it again a million times
But I wish I could have been there
I know I would have seen through those "I'm fine"s
Things are so different without you
I hope I'm making you proud
My life is changing so much lately
I wish you could see me now
I wish you were here to see it
You wer

The Week After You Left
Today I woke up in denial
Convinced it was all just a dream
Everything was going fine
Or so it seemed
Today I still felt sick
But I know it was for the best
Our connection had died
It needed to be laid to rest
Today I deleted our pictures
And I cried myself to sleep
It felt like my heart had been ripped out
And had been stomped on by your feet
Today was a little better
I only cried a few times
I came to the realization
That you are no longer mine
Today I asked if you even cared
If it hurt even a little bit
If it effected you in slightest
You replied that, no, it really didn't
Today I forced myself not to talk to you
I told myself t
I'm holding back the tears
As I watch my world fall apart
My heart lay in the ruins
Of a place thats become so dark
I don't know what to do
I feel panic bubbling up within me
Why did this happen?
How did I not see this coming?
Why can't I catch a break
It seems like all I feel is pain
What am I doing wrong?
This is driving me insane!
I've fought so long for control
But now everythings coming undone
And I don't know how to fix it
So all I do is run
There's a hate inside of me
I feel it boiling in my veins
I can't control it anymore
I say what it wants me to say
There's a hole inside of me
I feel it consuming my heart
I don't know what to do anymore
It's leaving me with these terrible scars
There's a pain inside of me
I feel it tearing me apart
I can't make it go away
It seems to turn the world dark
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I'm not sure if I can keep going
Because I'm not sure if what they say is true
Im walking into this blindly
With my heart on my sleeve
I dont know what to do
And I dont know what anything means
I think I might be in love
I dont know anymore
I know Im definitely falling
Way harder than I was before
I want to trust you
But Im scared I'll get hurt again
I want to love you
But I'm afraid it will end
You say you wont hurt me
But did everyone else
And then I was cast aside
Or set up on a shelf
If I hand you my heart
Will you be gentle with it?
If I cant land from this fall
Will you be there to catch me?
You say you're not going to leave
I cant but have my doubts
You say you love me
I feel like Im gonna freak out
So Im
