metallic tongue
i will not stop ever ever i will run into grey skies i will not stop ever ever i will fight until it dies i will not stop ever ever i will relentlessly wrestle with the knife i will not stop ever ever i will lustfully breathe all of life i will not stop ever ever i will almost drown in the river i will not stop ever ever i will cry but load the quiver i will not stop ever ever i will shoot it in the heart i will not stop ever ever i will refuse to restart i will not stop ever ever i will not look back nor slip i will not stop ever ever i will lay naked none to strip i will not stop ever ever i will let go of pencil turn to pen i will not stop ever ever I will not hurt myself again

Hammer to the heart You smashed it apart I picked up the shards of my life Sharpened them into a knife Cut my wrists till I fade Into oblivion I bade

I sharpened them
The bugs that are thoughts Cling to the light that is my brain They swarm to no end Small bodies full of pain Fingers remove but they always return magnetic wings flap Light their only concern Pesticides ineffective The light starts to strobe On off on off Beady eyes probe The glow it gets weaker Darkness creeps in End all and rip it out **** the source from within But the wirings too strong The goal is no use I bang at the switch A desperate truce Stumbling in the dark is how I’ve learnt to live The light is unstable The bugs i forgive Maybe soon i will be covered in the blazing light that was lost How much will it take? What will it cost?

Bugs and light
Something is really wrong The type that is gut wrenching Pain is thirsty for me My blood is not quenching Something is really wrong The type that makes people keep saying I’m worried about you Until my head starts swaying Something is really wrong The type that makes me sick Hyperventilating slurred speech The ambushes are quick Something is really wrong I can hardly breathe I’m trapped here please help I want to leave Something is really wrong Time ticking like a song Countdown to when I end all that is wrong

Something is really wrong
the air starts to heal and the stars start to listen the tears on her face no longer glisten

deep breath of the night
I was a captor of your heart We started off whole Unaware of the ending Didn’t know I’d take your soul But soon you felt it The zip ties on your wrists Blindly I tightened them Gently I kissed It got too much Arms turning blue You cut yourself loose Zip ties askew I was left alone With nothing to clench A captor with no captive Love with a stench

Zip ties
ever since you put out of the fire the energy that burned between our lips i’ve been cold shaking waiting from your sizzling embers i take small sips but you look not of winter nor frostbite while i barely preserve myself in foil so i take the gasoline canister try to drench you in my slick oil hand you the matches eyes begging please relight our spark if you don’t i’m scared i’ll lose you forever in this dark

begging with matches
you used to look at me eyes sparkling like diamonds i took those blue stones hoped no one would find them but i saw you look at her with the jewels you gifted me now i clutch them in my pockets mourning the worth that used to be
