Lies
everyone lies all the time I
never understood why we can't just tell
the truth
it shouldn't matter
what's happened what you've done where you've been
what's going on.
Tell me the truth where were you
why are you doing this why won't you
tell me what's really going on,
Joshua you expect me to trust you but you can't even
tell me the little things like why
your coat is sopping wet when you finally
shove open the door and
stumble in to
our cruddy little piece of shit we call home
under the railways
and I hate this place it's dark and it's
drab,
brown and depressing, rumbling
with the trains as they pass the horizon of this
magical city
or it used to be magical before
you left it
what are you doing why aren't you here the city is
dying and I
know that you feel it
so why aren't you protecting it you know
how much it means
how much I love it so why
don't you love it the way you
said you would
you saved it once now save it again
I trust you
it's raining droplets dripping
from those pretty magic
wings,
angel feathers hidden under trenchcoats
blond locks over
violet eyes, tired
baggy eyes, tired
sunken face,
anger, frustration,
impatience-
as snarky and bitter as ever but
the bite is different
its harsh its self-loathing
I hear you crying out at night
alone
on the couch or beside me in bed
and I want to cry
too want to roll over
hold you tight and comfort you but
I can't because
you aren't here
you're never here any more and
you laugh and you cry
at the same time
because you're desperate like me
just want this to end
your
suffering torment lament
this sunset city shackles you
tall buildings and neon signs
gravitate round and constrict trap crush
imprison
we crawl like rats in the darkest parts of
this city that is
your heart
sewers run like veins beneath
your concrete skin.
The skies were once blue but now
they only cry like
you
silent and gray
the sunrises and sets bleed orange
and we cry and
we fight,
land punches,
red as the sun I remember-
the glow of the air and the glimmer of your
heart the city, beating with mine
two bodies one soul
living and dying fighting and lying as
one-
Eyes open disengage
obliterate
moon is falling angels dropping
Celestial bodies pierce through the heaven and
storm the ground
Beams of Holy Light

level i flare
watching the flames your face your hand
smiling and laughing
Can't afford to lose because
the World Ends With You so
Expand your horizons as far as they'll go
the sky is the limit
its blue and its endless
lets run away, never
look back under the traintracks
lets take a tram ride to the beach scream at the ocean throw sand and
laugh and fall over
screeching at the gulls
the crabs
shells
sun setting laugh til we cry and
take the late train home under dark skies do
all of the things you always said you wanted to but
never could
you've already given up
on the city (that is
your heart)
on yourself on the
world
so lets find a reason to keep living
dying fighting lying
breathing
two bodies one soul
the glimmer of hearts beating as one
forever and always
go ahead
give up
do it
just try
because even if you give up on it all
I won't give up on you

A/N: Finally wrote some Neku/Josh.
Wrote this for my Creative Writing class, there was a prompt with words that have to meanings and I chose 'Lies'. It was one of those exercises where you start writing and you just write whatever the heck comes to mind. I had a lot of TWEWY and Supernatural on the brain so this is what happened. I don't really like the first section because I feel like it's too AU/Post-TWEWY while the rest rings closer to game-related stuff. Still, I really liked writing this and I can't seem to find a decent place to cut off from the beginning, or how to rewrite it, so I'm just going to post the whole damned thing. I don't usually write poetry, but I like it because it feels a lot more artistic, and as you can tell I love obnoxiously chopping sentences in half and ignoring grammar because it looks and feels so cool when I'm writing it. I just hope it has the same effect for the readers :)
