6 months in the making

staring at the ceiling on an empty stomach for the third time this week voices whisper and taunt me that i haunt nobody's dreams, nor am i a passing thought never shown as much love as i myself brought to everyone, fuck if i ever write a poem about anyone again i wish they could stay there and then if the ink was ever to bleed or i hit delete, they would disappear with it, god it feels like fucking forever since someone touched me with intention so many honorable mentions in this hall of infamy i wanted you and you and you to be interested in me too, funny how it always ends up hopelessly romantic and pathetically pedantic  you're documented in my foolish decision to turn you into something  perfect you were undeserving, making me playlists and tainting songs sorry if this comes across too strong but i wish i'd never met you sometimes and you only existed within these lines the honey that dripped from your lips onto mine has spoiled,  i know there's poems written abo...
