I stare at an end I cannot quite See. I can almost touch it. Snaking souls rising into Ink stained night. Stars breaking through that sense of dread, Smothering. Heels. Clip clop down the halls, Walking from room, to room, Keeping Death, Alive. Pulling souls from the Sky. The world smells like rot. The living already on the edge of Decay. Maggots of pain crawling through flesh, Flies swarming around far gone Minds. They’re eyes gloss Over. I hear the clip clop of heels. That sounds so very like, Soldiers, riding into Death. Bullets ready to break Through. The night. Like stars. I can feel the bugs in my skin My eyes all glossy. She comes to take my hand And guides me into that dark night So that I may spot the sky With my… The world beeps as I fade into Oblivion. A cacophony, A harmony and melody of heels and monitors. The hells stop. I feel a warm hand So juxtaposed to mine. It yanks me back to bed. Out of the sky and back down to a Heaven cast in pain. A dance between death and Life A purgatory built on Lies That everything will be okay… I was always scared of heights. No one told me the true terrors existed far closer to Home… Birthed in a place Between de a d a n d A l i v e …

Hospital Heels
And I’m tired of being sick. Little light up box and 100 grams of poison should be enough to trick My mind into a bottle. Hope it wont overflow Before I can dump it all Into the sea Maybe it’ll be enough to forget what comes Next The, next Last thread of string holding something to Fall onto my head The, next Expectations of greatness, a 98 or a Breathtaking Performance… My friends are all the happiest they’ve Been. And I feel like I’ve missed that scene Where time stopped. And no one demanded anything, Anymore… I can’t seem to figure out The cure For whatever Black Hole is eating at my, Idyllic, utopia. And maybe it’s my Fault Maybe I expect too much from my Self And resulting is a Tug of war within my soul that apathy always wins. So as to shield from a breakdown Under the strong winds Of realizing that I can’t even bare to try For fear of failing I, try To lighten my own load With, 6 and a half hours on a little light up Box And my stomach full of some toxic Rot I feel as though I’ve not Stopped All day. Even when all I’ve done is sit And scroll Those “sorrows” away. And I wonder why I’m tired. And I question why I’m sick.

Im sick of being tired
The crows flock to misery, not to peck at death but to keep Despair Company And the songbirds of poets, bring me their lilies, second-hand roses, Wilted to ruin. My heart, mirrored in their image, is Blackened and broken, battered and bruised She longs for tenderness, to sow what had Withered And there you stand Jealousy in hand Hit me over the head with it And I’ll fall for you again My Saccharine Suicide, will be ever sweet And when I die It will be at your Feet The crows flock to Misery, Beaks plunging into sockets. Tears trail down stone cheeks Blood drips down, Tears

Despair oh how you Haunt my Saccharine Suicide
Do you ever miss seeing the stars All the sky’s painted, black ever far We see the world through heart shaped blinders And learn to live with the dark Do you ever miss seeing the stars We’ve blocked them out Outshined with tar Take their poison, feed it to our minds Forget that joy is what will **** their binds Follow without question, they've subdued you anyway Take their second hand roses Wilted and fake No don't you follow without question It's how they'll rule the world When they put minds in stomachs Greed will overwhelm Listen without question, they’ve tamed you anyway Take their words verbatim Like pills swallowed every day No don’t you listen without question It’s how they’ll sell their lies When they put souls in boxes That’s when hope will die.

Miss, the Stars
Sink feathered fingers into my ribs Grasp tight a hold of my heart. Slowly I seek summer in your eyes Searching for you are art My longing lungs will breathe for You Blinking you look Away. But I have grave news for You. I’ll love you Anyway.

Heart a Held
Swarming they land upon Skin Fig flies feasting on flesh What they didn’t expect to be Was swallowed right up within Now they crawl as they wish Discomfort spreading its roots The bugs came to feast on my skin So I decided to get to them first Burying deep down Bellow Their bodies drowning in red They try to fly up and away But I won't let them haunt. Someone else.

FLESH EATING FLIES
It’s one of those days Where it’s colder Inside than out. You feel discarded. They’ve found a shiny new toy They haven’t broken, Yet. Crack. There I go. P i e c e by p i e c e Fall Till there’s not even bones Not a wish Not a lie But something Not even alive…

NOTHING BUT BONE
My stomach aches, it groans. Jolting and jiving, butterflies biting, parasites. Eating away. Bile rises to my throat. Taunting, tantalizing, I hope it never leaves me. The alternative is much worse. I long for the pain of the rot and decay as feeling this way… it’s better than nothing at all. Better than landing after the fall, love takes all. Robs us of rational thought but Wouldn’t you rather Find hope in impossible Than nigh love at all

THE HUNGER
The fruit of my spoils sings Drawing me ever near A siren on land reaching its hand to Take my by the Throat My heart flutters at the idea Longing to come a part To take what is to wither Wallow in toxic rot We would walk on wilted wishes And gaze at dying stars All will end in dust I’m a queen of broken hearts

QUEEN OF HEART
is the calmest place you can be while still surrounded by turmoil. Pressure of the storm Pressing into, Retina You can hear the silence… All falls to ruin but Wisteria, like weeping tears Wisteria, weeping tears
