love.

love is the most dangerous poison.

it festers and infects you,

and it rarely stops.

maybe it does when it wasn’t right.

and you find someone better.

but every.

time.

it poisons us.

love is the most dangerous poison.

we feel it in different ways.

different amounts.

different weights.

but every time,

it leaves us

writhing in pain.

is it even worth it at this point?

...

i don’t know how to choose.

some say follow your head,

some say follow your heart.

but which do i choose,

when i can’t trust either?...

love.

just out of reach.

you see it from across the room,

across the lake,

down the train.

but just out of reach.

and you never see that love again.

but here comes another one!

the opportunity passing on the street,

in the airport,

or on the beach.

but then it’s gone again.

just out of reach.

there’s another one!

and this time it stays around for a while.

hanging around just long en...

we barely knew each other,

but it was still important.

we barely talked to each other,

but it was still important.

_you _were still important.

and i knew it was my fault,

when i lost it.

when i lost _you._

__

__

because i felt it in my heart

and i was in pain for days.

but i knew you didn’t feel the same,

and that helped some.

but not enough.

and even though it’s been over a year,

i ...

i don’t want to stick out like a weed in a field of wildflowers.

i want to be pretty like the black eyed susan’s.

i want to be pretty like the bluebells.

weeds aren’t that.

they disrupt the peace.

no one likes them.

i don’t want to stick out like a chihuahua in a room of mastiffs.

i want to have their cute faces.

i want to have their playful demeanor.

chihuahuas aren’t that.

they’re sm...

the dark can be loud or silent.

full of rustling leaves,

and buzzing of bugs.

or full of nothingness,

just the faint glow of stars.

some find comfort in the darkness.

that this is where they escape the horrors of their life.

but some say they’re afraid of the night.

that there’s monsters in the darkness,

that only come out when you’re vulnerable.

but they don’t understand.

those monste...

we’re inseparable.

at the beginning, we didn’t really click.

but soon enough we did.

and know you are one of my best friends in the world.

but what happens when that changes?

because it inevitably will.

it always happens.

one of us goes somewhere the other doesn’t,

and we don’t talk.

maybe for days, maybe for weeks.

but no matter what,

something will happen.

i’m not even scared of it.

...

if only we had a better understanding of each other

if only you knew what i was going through

because you do to an extent

but you don’t know the depth of it

i try to tell you but you just don’t understand

if only you did

we might see how this relationship might go

but if only you noticed

because you do to an extent

but somehow it’s never enough

i don’t feel you really care

there’s peo...

life is a game

you win

or you lose

either can be bad

but when i met you, i know i’d lost this game

i’d never be able to win you

you’re always just out of reach

my arms outstretched

leaving me vulnerable to the harm this game causes

you were my downfall

you were the reason i lost this game....

Life is no fun without a little chaos.

Vega smiles as she walks up to the door, long coat concealing what she doesn’t dare reveal outside.

The door slammed open, gunshots immediately following. Vega walked through the doors of the bank with a maniacal grin, holding her M4A1 high as she shot in the air. She could hear screams all around her as the shooting ceased...
