exploding.

it rains,


rains and rains and rains,
and each strike of lightning sends a charge of electricity to a heart that already can't cope, and the pain burns.


sometimes,

that pain is you.



--


i choke,

this heart which has been electrocuted until all that remains is the ash and splinters of a fragile, scarcely protected organ. i choke and i choke,
coughing and swallowing,

i'm gasping for air, and there's no one here to care,
there's no one here to watch me die.


but i have,
slightly, a piece of me broke off and it's fallen so far into orbit, that i don't think it's really even me anymore.


i'm dying, and i'm dying alone.



--


death;
an eternity alone, smothered in soil and dressed with the roots of decaying dandelions and wild daisies, there's no love with death.



--

i break,
tumble
and
crashcrashcrash


until i'm throwing myself into walls and screaming desperately at rock faces
idon'tthinkicandothisaloneanymore.


--

i know it hurts to love me,
i fall under statistics,

and i know i curve and form shapes that are too full,
too epic and eventually, i realise that it's inevitable,

i know that one day,
you just won't be able to love me anymore,



but please remember, i let you know everysinglefuckingflaw,
you were meant to know what you were letting yourself into,


but somehow, i don't think you did.




--

i am chaos,
and i promise you it hurts, feeling myself explode.

    damn that's amazing. and that is seriously exactlyyy how i feel right now.
    you seriously conveyed the emotion of being lost sooo well, and just feeling the urge to give up, but knowing there's some bit of hope left.
    gahhh i love your writing. :]]

    -i know that one day,
    you just won't be able to love me anymore
    ...

    that was seriously a punch to the gut.
    and so heartwrenching, yet true.
    gahhh you have brilliant mind, love!
    share?
    (:

    Your writing is always so beautiful, even when it's about the most heartbreaking subjects. I'm speechless.

  • this is sad and heart-wrenching but amazingly written. i hope you're doing okay, or at least semi-okay.

    This is a beautiful write - I really like the way that this has so many diverse thoughts throughout and manages to stay coherently on track you have some lovely imagery too - but there are a few mistakes - "lightening" should be "lightning"; and "electricuted" should be "electrocuted" - but they can be fixed easily stunning emotion!
