19/M/Canada I like words
drive by shots fly like roseless thorns all pedal, no petal run race last place mouth leaded in scorn All metal, no medal

Caught in a shooting
I'm bleeding a color that doesn't exist She'll use it as hair dye staining persists I'd charge for her trenches with no bayonet While my heart still on fire she'll burn cigarette I cannot arrêt her body's not hardware her eyes, internet my soul thrives in her ironclad grip rings and chains and spines and grit A massive fur coat I asked what she wrote her answer? I choke Çrows catch her words when they're stuck in her throat drinking wine in a math class with a lover from last past a soul that can laugh bad but honest a ghost betwixt my ears, behind my eyes her black lips steel pierced to prize

moy malyenky poganchiyk
Why does the gratification of now over then control me so more than the afters at end Stay awake on my phone till the avian choir not fearing tomorrow for current desires putting off work till it's well overdue then staying up late, typing way after two it's two thiry now, I get up in four hours I'll be tired by then, made my own morning sour Putting off bills so I don't have to pay Just to have the cost triple at the end of the day It's like time is a score that I have to beat even if I know of my certain defeat Playing my games while neglecting my laundry my current wants whisper, their voice silk and sultry staying in bed till I've no time to get up just to bask in the warmth of my blanket's warm hug I act like a creature that can't understand the notion of planning, so I hurt by my hand I need to grow up and break out the cycle But I'll do that tomorrow Now's pleasure's more vital

in a nation of professional crasts
An angel whispers on my shoulder And on my right, the devil rants Call me ambidextrous, The way I'm playing both hands The passing years won't rend me older For that is not how I advance Still do things thats dangerous Like my violent, thin ice dance My ego strengthens my weak stance Fake solid ground, no permanence I'll be my own bad influence

poker
If I were reborn in a new body, same soul restarting fresh, but with old goals an infant's body, with my memories stored I wouldn't change a thing I would love the same sick love I would hate the same wrong hate spend the same effort to rebuild the same scape, just to rewatch it all deteriorate re-light every fire lit, to get re-burned by its warm embrace revisit every broken place and won't fix any past mistakes because it all built me as I am And how I see myself today

cycled rebirth
I did much more than I desire Now I stand up, to the avian choir I cannot rest, my body's wired I yearn for sleep, so ******* tired My brain, it stings with fake desire My eyes, they hurt My face, on fire Might die, not cert-ten scary hours Til I get my first pretty flowers My blood is volts, I'm stripping wires

A Night of Pretty Regret
Thirteen years old, last year of grade school I was having my fun, but not yet a fool I fell down a well, started looking for rescue The water's so deep with no place to rest too My chest grows stressful Then he calls out: "I have something to bless you" I look around and the water is less blue I clamber out He says: "you're a mess, dude" "Now go get dressed" "I've got someone, who I hope will impress you" Mary's so pretty All covered in flowers She can take minutes make them into hours Mary's so pretty Mary's oh so pretty Fifteen years old and high in love Every day with her is a gift from above Always pick her when push comes to shove I can't let go, no Her hand's my glove Feel her on my lips And I can't get enough Her kiss is relaxing but it's gone with a puff "See? I knew you'd like her" Mary's so pretty All covered in flowers She can take minutes make them into hours Mary's so pretty but I'm getting bored Seventeen now, I've met Susan and Molly Vivian, Addy, Roxy, and Nicky But its been months Since I've seen Mary Wake up and kiss Susan, till she's stuck in my head I fool with Nicky in the day, she's my new best friend Then slip Roxy at night it's how I get to bed Make love to Molly all day, on the weekend I'm back in the well, and now the water's red The well is so tall that I don't see the end I don't see the sun Just darkness instead He's not coming this time

She was beautiful
The highway goes both ways Where one way's to Dante's And one way's to gold gates Your choice where to go on the road run by old fate Its no race and there isn't a finish line

Highway
She sent the I L Y with a quote unquote How do I get so high While I stay so low? Know that I'll run out of time, before I run out of hope One last kiss her goodbye, Can taste the lump in her throat Her jacket's still down in my kitchen, she ain't ready to go I try to lead her away With all the words I don't say My brain it wants her to go My heart it wants her to stay When I look in her eyes Can tell she's feeling the same Her face won't show her dismay But she's got tears on display Her heart is wired to her body but her face to her brain pressure and motion okay I'd cross an ocean for "hey" All types of emotion morphing into foreplay An olive branch in her mouth as she's flying, my love She's been my symbol of peace So I've called her my Dove I could never let go, no her hand was my glove I did so much that I'd die but it was never enough I try to lead her away with all the words I don't say My brain it wants her to go my heart it wants her to stay

You still up?
What does it mean to be into someone like you? Is it the simple admiration of your personality? With a healthy dose of carnal views? With a bond where every word is true? Well if that's really all it takes, then by all accounts I'm into you I like your face I like your eyes I like your humor and your smile The way you walk The way to talk How conversations last a while But I know that's too simple I know I do I also know, you know that too. Because that's not really what it means to be into someone like you, no It's holding hands in hopeful trance to heavy on the days in wait with a passion too burned to sleep so yearned to meet the days of growing old and great Two young lovers, plan ahead To days of glory and messy beds. a very person to call your own Coming home to warm embrace where a gentle kiss spills upon your face Now by these accounts I've got some news you might not beleive it true but it turns out that really I am not that into you don't get me wrong I like your face I like your eyes I like your humor and your smile The way you walk The way to talk How conversations last a while I've thought this through it's not denial I don't want you Although commitment sounds amazing and my brazen heart is ripe for taking It's not for me, not now at least I still need to grow and work some more before I allow me to feel it free I hope you can excuse my actions they're symptoms of nothing but shallow attraction you mean more to me as friend than as a lover that is of course, if we can re befriend each other Cause you're not doing well and I've ****** up Letting old habits hurt another I don't want to be with you I don't need the day, or afternoon Just a couple texts should do me good I don't need your loyalty and truth Just someone to laugh with and to goof But that's all for nought if you feel it not that abstinence's the way to go If you want me gone I'll make it done And find another friendly soul with a pretty face And pretty eyes a funny humor and pretty smile a pretty walk a sultry talk and conversations that last a while And now I realize, I see How contradicting I can be What kind of friend writes poems of love? Or gets you flowers to apologize? Or scratches your back while you cry? Or asks to kiss? Or insults your weight? I'm often sorry as of late, I haven't been a good friend I confuse you to no end I abused your limits I lose defend But I don't want to lose you as my friend I'm sorry that I'm strange with portraying my emotions It never made much sense to me Because both my friend and both my lover share my heart in equal piece I'm grateful you put up with me I really don't take it for granted I'm sorry that I made it seem like it's love my heart demnanded What I feel is much more akin to the fear of being abandoned But I'll keep my pace and stay away for how many days you recommended I hope one day we'll be okay and our friendship will be mended I hate that I made you uncomfortable I'm sorry
