22/F/England Parietal Vision
I see nothing but roses They dance and whirl, Masking the scent Of a cadaver’s unfurl I see nothing but roses Budded and Bloomed, Crimson, blinding The inevitable doom I see nothing but roses, Tied to each breath Blood blends as their thorns Penetrate my chest I see nothing but roses. Do you see them too? I see nothing beyond, Nothing but you.

See No Evil
And she will write from the nether With a pincer for a heart A mind whittled with wit Eyes destined for the arts No rebound enough Can tie her to one place So she’ll cry Yet those tears dance With elegance and grace

Ailed
I am laying down my sword Letting it rest amongst your side I know it’s not what you want But I know one of us would have died I won’t lie I hold a sadness That it had to be this way, To grieve someone I loved Alive but not a call away I think eventually you’ll realise How you hurt the people you’re missing I wished for you to be different And you wished I was more forgiving

Battled
So I digress While I move And fail my own sense Losing touch from within Accepting touch from somewhere else My lungs breathe As dutiful as the pen I lay to rest And I will walk over earth Mourning my own theft

Many Selves
And I remain in sadness. Upset over the small things I thought had long passed. They find their way to creep up my spine, to settle in my thoughts — not taunting, yet by their sheer remainder, they drain me. I wonder, how many years must pass before they no longer live within me? No matter how far I push, how hard I try to rewire my mind, to craft self-therapeutic refuge — it lives on, in silence. And when the day is shrouded in gloom, when my body lies still and useless, it screams with a deafening grip. So I console myself, as no one else can.

Selfish Sadness
Because as the clouds parted I saw all but your name And I cried until I saw It had always been rain As I lay my head to rest I bid thee adieu And vow in my next life To never fall again for you

Cotton
Confliction lives in everything and the battle tires me. My name is all I hold, until death does us part. It's a million endings condensed into one being. I cannot live without regret but that I will regret Embodied my surroundings I fall a victim to them. Will I rise a sole individual or fall to the earth having lived everyone's lives but my own? And then what comes of my existence? Nothing but severance. I will love with all I am, and for I know not what that is I will gift you everything.

Entirety
Bask in the suns starlight The sweet solid abyss, If the crescent is what you wish for It’s the crescent I shall gift I know not many words of anger For silence echos the way I will pave my footsteps toward you And pray those steps remain the same I am lost without your guidance I grow fearsome of the beckoning light If I cried you a river would you sail it? Or watch it gleam at the dark of night.

Amore
And if I met my dad before I was born I would tell him "Let her go" "Let her live, smile, be loved" "Let her be hurt without your touch" "Let her laugh with others" "Cry tears with others" "Let her life be hers to clutch" I know I won't exist And I know you will have lost her But better for me not to breathe And better for you just to grieve Than give her the life that cost her

Reincarnate
I drag myself back, further cracked To this feat I cannot help but envision The poison I must reek Left as lambs to all slaughter Change is all but skin deep “Well you’re your fathers daughter” And with those words I weep.
