28/F I like chemical highs and the smell of stale cigarette smoke. / Everything else is complicated.
In and out of Naps and daydreams Imagining beauty Imagining pain I break my own heart Every day

Moon in Pisces
I love you like my favorite poets love alcohol. Drunk and mad in the streets, I love you. I’m wasted. I am one of my favorite poets.

Love quarrels
Your body is always warm Your hands are always rough The words that left your mouth melted into one long, faint whisper Unmatched to the power of your dull blue eyes LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU SPEAK I hate when you don't look at me I want to feel your thoughts, Not hear them... S h o w  m e  y o u  m e a n  i t After that moment, your eyes were permanently glued to mine Nobody has ever looked at me like that Constant peering at the remnants of my soul, and my heart, and whatever else is inside there that H u r t s  s o  b a d STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT I don't want you to see me like this... Sad, angry, sad again I'm doing you a favor, I swear Just stop looking at me like that I want to give you every piece of me that is left But the fear of you not liking what you get Rattles my bones so loud when I'm with you And even louder when you're gone It hurts, baby I t  j u s t  f u c k i n g  h u r t s Is this what love feels like?

Is this what love feels like?
Hand holding, Cigarette smoking, Spiced gin drinking, And bare flesh touching... Y o u  h a d  m e. (Only for 24 hours, But that’s more than most get) 24 hour boyfriend, The perfect relationship. One complete day of undivided lust and adoration. It almost felt like I loved you. Sharing souls and secrets and your king sized bed, I  h a d  y o u. That loving gaze, the sweet whispers; It made me sick In an early morning, half-drunk haze, Your skin wouldn’t let go of mine, Your smile asked me to stay, And your sleepy eyes told me you wanted more… You whispered you loved me, I clenched my eyelids shut and pretended to sleep. I could never love you. I’m sorry, But your 24 hours is up.

24 Hour Boyfriend
I murdered you in my sleep... E v e r y d a m n n i g h t My endless resentment Built up in the back of my neck Released bit by bit Through every slam From finger hitting keyboard Loud, violent Like waves crashing onto shore I murdered you every night And every letter you spoke On constant replay in my head Every single time you came to mind (ALL THE TIME) Cutting through me in ways I didn't know possible Seeping into my bloodstream like poison I felt your words the world over You should have killed me, friend It wouldn't have hurt as badly I hated you relentlessly I murdered you in my sleep Please don't tell me you're sorry I can't just forget the things you said I'M NOT A CHALKBOARD, WHITEBOARD, DRY-ERASE WHAT ******* EVER THE SLATE ISN'T CLEAN ... i can't do it Please, please don't tell me you're sorry You know better than I That after a little smile And some kind words, I'm waving white flags Left hating no one Except for myself B e c a u s e I F o r g i v e T o o E a s y

Too easy
We're faking. Happiness lasts but a second. That fragile fleeting moment before the click of a shutter. It fades away after your eyes stop stinging. Sometimes, the sky is so blue that it hurts. I can't ever reach it with these hands. I wonder if we were ever really happy. I try to capture your smile. But this camera is old, slow. We're breaking. Photo frames slips off walls, non-existent. I hide inside corners of doors, my hands shielding my ears. Angry voices shake the foundations of this house. These photographs were only a mere second of our whole lifetime. But they aren't exactly telling lies. We were happy once.

i tried so hard to send you winter in a letter i went outside collected snowflakes and foolishly pressed them into the pages the ink ran and my thoughts melted away i wanted to save winter capture it in a bottle and hide it between my lungs so my every breath would be cold and my voice would taste like snow i thought maybe if i could take that bluish-grey sky and shove it between my ribs and swallow every dead leaf you would see frost coated grass and think of me ... and i could give you winter f o r e v e r

Nothing is the same
long days and restless nights thin lips part to reveal a voice of sand silently screaming at those around him he wore his pain on his brow ***** and wrinkled like the shirt on his back

stranger
With a runny nose Shaking hands And unsure thoughts I got on my knees And begged Not with words Or With tears But with my lips And my tongue His **** filling my mouth His hand forcing my head Eyes closed I could feel his body tremble Smell his sweat A few heavy thrusts Followed by even heavier gags He grabbed my hand Helped me up And slipped a reward into my coat pocket '... this is the last time' I whispered 'You always say that' The walk home seemed to last years Prolonged by feelings of disgust I could feel the people Of the city streets Silently judging me I locked myself in the bathroom Cut the fattest line My body could handle And snorted away my Shame
