I am very simple.
My father hid himself within the smoke underneath my ribcage Sometimes he rattles his fingers underneath my bones and squirms his hands around my ticker He taught the monster under my bed to crawl under my skin and stick his filthy fingers in the cracks of my brain and break it in half His name echoes the canals of my ears and his shadow haunts every step I wish I could’ve made

Paralysed
Don’t be scared that 
I’ll ever forget you
. Believe me: 
I remember every 
touch
 and every 
breath 
as if it happened 
yesterday.

Touch
passion wasn’t in your dictionary even though you tried to show me time and time again that it was and thats fine because at least you tried to show me the blank space where passion was supposed to be

Passion
day 1 (uno) that we talked you tried to whisper the clothes off my body and told me you wanted to see the folds of your fingers inside of me (as if it was nothing) and while I rejected he formulated and cracked a new plan — to tell me thats all he wanted to hear, and demanded self respect while pushing for lack of self respect. His eyes couldn’t lie but when I tried to locate them, he carried me away in his personal blue seas (this is a cliche) and made me taste the waters (I got addicted as a result) and I guess that even my logic obsessed self couldn’t make out what was right and wrong anymore, so I drowned myself and floated in his rivers Proceed to day 34 (teintra y cuatro) where you admitted under a drunken spell that you loved me all along and wanted a future. Phase 1: Terrified. Phase 2: Relief. Relieved that my love was not only mine, but ours. Relieved that I could drink from those waters forever. But terrified, so, so terrified of the mess I made from the man who only wanted to have my naked body and infect it. I had only shown a glimpse of my skin around my lower back, and you could only demand more while judging my self respect (or lack thereof). My logical self had decided that this behavior was him at his finest he was just setting me up and wanted to invade my skin. My loving self was convinced that he was acting out on his newly found addiction. Since I had just fed him the same venom he poisoned my body with. In the end, it was all just a test of my self respect. Or lack thereof.

You took the innocence from my lips Whilst carrying explosives at your hips Tied my bomb and took a piece of my chest Just to frame it In a picture in the papers I was watching the fuse to be lit And you gambling that I would make it Out of that lane So I could do it all over again

Purity
I prefer to lose the grip of me and my being would traverse to the brain I made my home in my little universe But to lose the touch of this which I hold so dear and the only thing which promised me that would be permanently here My memory is lacking and my system is rewriting my thoughts are the one which I really should be fighting I know I know, You are my friend, dear ***** But I really want to put a stop A stop to this abuse.

If discovering the planetary body Where you found your home Would mean that I get to see you again Then I would March through stars Dance on asteroids and Befriend moons Until I'd find you

Space (and other special places)
I longed for death But that I could not do I was not scared of death, no I was afraid of dying without you.
