I resist the rush but it names me anyway. Speed has no memory, no face just light breaking into streaks. I reach, and touch becomes rumor. A second fractures I fall through what was almost mine. No witness. No echo. Just something that happened too fast to be real and too real to return.

Unheld
Distance is my lifestyle, for loving you from afar is the safest investment I know. Tears are my offering, the most I can give without ever speaking your name. Pain is my treasure, I wear it like armor polished, practiced, far away from you. Love is my myth, a story told by others but never lived by me. Lust is my truth, because every version of us is safer inside my head. Change is still foreign, yet your light slips through cracks I never sealed lingering longer than I know how to fight. And maybe… I don’t want to fight it anymore.

Distance Is My Language
Why do I hesitate to taste the lips of someone new? Why does thrill feel like a warning I’m already apologizing to? Always mapping out an exit, stitched with careful apologies, aching to appear unbroken while my fractures learn to bleed. And blood-red became my favorite not bold, just familiar. Worn like a question I never answer. My seasons don’t transition they collide. Zero to a hundred in a breath, everything to nothing without a sound. One minute I’m on a mountain, lungs wide open in victory the next, the fall comes quietly, and I can’t recall the climb. I want sunlight again, but patience feels unfinished, like something I keep pouring into a cup with no bottom. My wardrobe is distraction ballgowns with no stitching, beauty without feeling, color without memory. The bright things are buried now in rooms I don’t visit. Even the streetlights I lit in daylight have burned out without witness. Fear feels too small a word but still, I want to try again. So I walk with my shadow, the only one who knows how often I almost leave, and still stays.

Between Fire And Exit Signs
I dare to stare into your eyes, long enough to make you forget there was ever a before me. Your story clean, sacred untouched by ruin. You speak of forever like it’s certain, like the unplanned doesn’t exist. I dare to stare into your soul, soft… unguarded. A fragile kind of beauty that has never learned how to break without shattering. You smile like nothing has ever asked something from you and taken more. I dare to stare into your mind, wide with untouched dreams. You have never had to survive them— only imagine. No shadows linger there, no hands that stayed too long, no echoes that refuse to leave. I dare to stare into your heart, whole. No fractures. No hidden rooms you’re afraid to enter. Just light reckless in its innocence never tested by storm or silence. And still… I stand here, knowing exactly what I carry. So tell me how long before looking at me changes everything you are?

Before You Learn Me
Pencil on my lips, Draw me, ****** shy, and real. Hold me in. Paint on my skin, Admire me, wild and still, Let the feeling in. Beauty on my tips, Soak me in, completely, Until I become your dream. Whisper in my ear, Entice me inward, Unravel me, deep.

Draw Me In
A good-looking man, an honest smile direction wrapped in poor presentation. I breathe in your sedatives, let the darkness swallow me whole. There are no questions left you are the answer. And still, I carve into you, though you are younger. I crave you only to ruin your innocence, to bleed you dry of everything I envy. This is my daily ritual: I draw you in with a sweetness unseen, then drain you of the very essence I resent. When I speak, you don’t listen you hear only what you want. But I don’t blame you. That’s how I know you’re already mine. Were you a target? Maybe. I sip something sparkling a small sin for a “good girl” like me. Still, I indulge. You are art meant to be studied, touched, unraveled. And I a thief whispering lies like secrets. Control was never the plan… but something as rare as you begs to be used. Cards laid bare. Go on guess my next move. All hands on deck as I deal you a new truth about women like me.

Predator's Confession
It condenses how I dance with deceit, How much you thought I was really weak. Stand over there, bask in your “win,” Laugh out loud — boasting in your gain. Point your harsh finger while I weep, Crocodile tears — my daily relief. I made you a plastic, polished seat, You sat proud — a “wannabe king.” Laugh’s on you when you sold it at the feast, Yet it couldn’t buy your next meal’s piece. You chased me down to hear me speak, But ended in prison — my, my, what a deed.

Dance With Deceit
I wanted to hold your face, to stare into your eyes and feel alive, but it was the roughest surface I had ever known beneath my palm. For there was a permanent earth upon it rift valleys, craters, nation borders carved deep. And your eyes void like the dark, holding nothing but haunted things still fighting to survive. I wanted to trace your chest, map it anew for myself, but I found handprints burnt in red, permanent. Shallow, yet never filled, marks that refused to leave, clinging like memory after war. So I asked you to turn, to hold you from behind but what I saw there was worse than what you showed me. Claw marks deep enough to make a wolf envious. Claims etched in flesh lust, hunger, betrayal spelled out in silence. A tale as old as time, never spoken aloud. I turned you back, looked at your hands cleaned, yet never clean. Rough. Blood-worn. Nails crooked like tree roots. Hands that fix, yet never heal. Hands that carry mess, but are never freed from it. And though I am inexperienced, I was curious to know you but tell me, would loving you be twice the labor for half the truth? Did you choose me for my softness, or were you searching for another quiet ruin? You call yourself a builder, yet you do not know your tools. So certain in your truth, you forgot it takes two to hold it steady. And through your red-tinted sight, you refused to see. I refuse to build a man so I refuse you. You reach to be my hero, but I choose to be my own. This is not rebellion I simply lack the desire to fix what refuses repair. Your silence toward yourself was the loudest warning. And I am grateful it was the first thing I saw. I choose me without your permission. Like a bird that never needed to ask before it flew. I do not hate you. I simply see you and that is enough. Some stories are not meant to be rewritten, only witnessed… and gently left behind. So I release you to the version of yourself you refuse to outgrow and I walk forward, lighter than I found you.

The Geography of You

A figment of bliss, Rotting at the edges, Sweet only in distance— In my mindless mind. A perfect prince—fresh, Too perfect to breathe, A love stitched together From things that never happened, In my mindless mind. An endless yard, Roots choking the soil, Blooms that don’t wilt— Because they were never alive, In my mindless mind. A gleaming fountain, Water that never runs dry, Stagnant beneath the shine, Whispering lies In my mindless mind. A streak so clean, An infinite loop, No beginning—no end— Just repetition pretending to be peace, In my mindless mind. Am I losing it, Or finally seeing it? This place I escape to— Is it shelter, Or a well with no bottom? Do I need saving, Or breaking— To silence the echo That sounds too much like me? Because this isn’t longing. It’s hunger. Not for love— But for something That can prove I still exist Outside Of my mindless mind

Mindless Mind (Darker Version)
A figment of bliss, A romance so unreal, Replaying on repeat, In my mindless mind. A perfect prince—fresh, With a love so precise, Polished into illusion, In my mindless mind. An endless yard, Laced with my favorite blooms, Watered into freedom, In my mindless mind. A gleaming fountain, Pouring borrowed freshness, A current untouched, In my mindless mind. A streak so clean, An infinite sequence, Crossing, recrossing— In my mindless mind. Am I unraveling, Or just too aware? Do I need breaking To quiet the spiral Of my mindless mind? For is it a sin To wander the untouched— To crave what was never held, Yet feels like memory? Oh… my mindless mind.
