Write while Listening
Write anything about anything while listening to one playlist. You stop writing when the playlist reaches the end of the last song. I just thought this might be interesting. I know no one will probably enter this but I can still try. Anyway, thanks for considering!

every time, i write about you, and i hate that

Hour and minutes and second tries

spent retrying the failures from last time

shards of lies litter the floor

you don’t get it, do you?

you wouldn’t know, of course

it’s a danger, loving you

trusting you, i fall,

how would i know?

i don’t

because they would tell me

it’s not worth it

coming closer

getting lower

i

have

to

get

out

of here

fall again

i thought you knew

but shattered truths

cut my canvas

tear the paper

rip me into shreds

it’s dangerous, you know

mirror blades, on the floor

laying there

silent

unforgiving

sing me a little song

a tune of your mask

of your deception

tie my wounds up again

with string and lies

gaze in the mirror

wanting to change

wanting to go

but stuck for tomorrow

i couldn’t tell you why

don’t tell me i do

i tried

but

it wouldn’t free me

not yet

not this time

the rivers flow and shadows fall

try it again

darkness patches together

drowning in nothing

i reached out and took it

i didn’t even know

it was you again

again

you

were

there

whirlpools churn in the ocean

deep

below the plastic surface

cover

of cerulean crystal

that can’t be saved

and the river still flows into the ocean

again and again

storms

thunder cries

the calm before the storm

you say?

uh huh

tell me

what does that mean

the fake before the fall

or the truth before it all?

it’s neither, isn’t it?

claw my senses away to forget you

and forget the words you told me

never forget

tainting my golden light

cold and shallow

lies

i would leave

i would go

but it’s not my fault you’re here

i can’t say i want that

but

what can i do

ahahaha

yeah

tell me again

those lies from before

one day you’ll regret it

just like i do

all those times

we spent

lost in the winds of

then

and now

how did it ever get that bad

what else can we do but

remember

talk again and forget never but always

try again

helpless

that’s it

trying again but never going forward

it’s been too long

and yet it never ends

why cant i just leave it alone

so once again we sit here

wondering why

it never works

but never question

if it really ever was

and we don’t know

why

was it our fate

to be here this way

day after day

selfish

one of a kind

where did the light

in our eyes

the spark of us

where did that go

lost with the wind again

nothing more again

on the road again

empty space

endless path

same old, same old

then you came

and i forgot about him

but why did you choose me

it wasn’t ever going to work

why me

roses

darkness

shadows

when i asked you why

you didn’t know

a distraction, probably

from the past and the pain

again

count the days past again

one year later

same story

maybe i should walk the path alone

not yet

bitter forgiveness still lurks

i want the toxin again

the good times

but i live in the shadows

learn to grow

in the dark

where i belong

in the night

alone

make my world mine again

i’ll be okay

for now

on the path

i’ll make it

and i’ll find my way

and no, i still don’t know

who i am

and for now

i guess

i sort of became another

but i’m still me?

since i don’t know me

how would i be me

i could just as easily be him

separate

again

no

i wont go back

drink the past memories

and drown once more

forget

and know it all

maybe it’s better this way

i wanted

i don’t want it

close my eyes

and close off the me

that knew him and

knew of the fear

open

earring of gold

and amber, truth, a new one

icy waters

diving in

freezing in the currents

drowning

i want you all the time

why

no

i don’t

i want the inky darkness

of my own

ready

set

go

midnight moonshine

triple light

starlight desert

my own desire

golden

dunes

shifting sands

cover the tracks

never go back

drink again

leave it behind

i knew him once, yeah

and now i know my new reality

without him

forget him

forget it

keep walking

opportunity

no

not again

keep walking

let him go

let them go

let it all go

you make your reality

you don’t need them to do it

golden amber

golden amber

blowing sands

glacier eyes

winter kiss

fantasy, sure

i don’t care

i’ll settle for the ghost

i only know

my own thoughts are all i need

leave me be

keep walking

call me crazy

blame the stars

i know it’s you

not me

liar

again and again

you try to tell me

that you can change

and make it better

i can’t hear

stir up the tornado,

the hurricane close

behind, the walls of my own

stronghold

i’ll be safe here, myself and i

and i’ll maybe see you

on the other side of the storm

but if it kills you

i wouldn’t really mind

maybe i would

i’ll settle for it

and my world

my wonderland

my paradise

my universe
