Eyes meet and eyebrows twitch Your eyes glitter with lust My teeth bite slightly too hard on my own lip Watching your tongue swirl around your fingers I barely remember to breathe **** I want to make you feel good

Fingers
Your thighs taste like my lipstick and your sin Remnants of your perfume still clings to you You knew **** well that I’d be lost in you tonight

I’m a willing fool
Your fingers lightly play with the loose hairs on the nape of my neck I want to smile because it feels nice Instead I flinch because although your hands are soft I feel his rough hands wrapping around my throat Your lips press lightly against mine I want to kiss you back because I adore you Instead my mouth clamps shut because although you taste divine I smell his hot breath smothering my face Your voice tells me you love me I want to say it back because I love you too Instead the words catch in my throat because although those words are true I hear his voice telling me I don’t deserve you

You’re not him
It’d break your heart to know That sometimes when you kiss me I can taste his faint shadow

Kiss me
Tied to a bed Face pushed into the pillow Silent because screaming made it worse Smack clouded my mind ***** orange bed sheets covered in blood Saliva trickling down my face Staring blankly at the wall Laughing behind me Many men mocked as they watched Took turns to desecrate me After I’d collapse into the mattress And hope i would live no more Whilst I passed out from the drugs and the pain So now even as my love sleeps beside me Who keeps me safe and treats me well We lay in a bed so comfortable and warm I still stare blankly at the wall and hope I will live no more

Bed
Water is frivolous, it only soaks the reminder into my skin; I will never be clean of these burdens. Because to do so, I’d have to scrape the flesh from my bones And soak my skin in thick bleach Or fry my mind in acid Just so I could extinguish the power that ignites them. Sin dances across my body, leaving fading scars in its wake; A secondary trauma becomes true. Maybe he didn’t **** me up enough, since I’ve done more damage to myself I can’t blame him for the reason when I pulled the trigger And pressed the blade into my skin. He may have been the reaction, but I was the catalyst.

Secondary trauma
Retro, techno, pillball machine Arcade, tetro, can taste gasoline Panic, fury, not feeling alive Danger, shaking, crush my hard drive Spiders, robots, made of metal alike Drug craze, wide eyes, a state so dreamlike **** me, help me, nothing feels real Humans, technology, all made of steel Seizures, sweating, the air starts to crack Delusions, psychosis, the eyes of a maniac Arcades, run signs, lights flashing in the night Distortions, sensations, my mind a parasite Arachnids, cages, holding me in place Computers, glitching, my eyes their interface Trauma, reality, sight in opaline Retro, techno, pinball machine.

Machine
You can taste the blood on my tongue But I can’t feel the pain I’m tied by elastic bands to a reality so dire that I can’t face it. My soul rises out of my chest and a world of demons appears in my vision Snapped suddenly back I see your worried eyes searching my face And I briefly wish that the elastic would choke me

Reality
Poison ivy next to a poisoned tree, Poisoned friendships, poisoned by me A broken promise, a buried seed A safe place, a good friend, lots of love guaranteed A liar, a cancer, advice all gone bad ****** up love, I’m toxic, the remnants of my dad A death wish, a threat and a promise in one breath I’ll save you, I’ll help you, I could be the cause of your death A hero, a darling and conquer of the broken I’m ****** up and I break things at least it’s no longer left unspoken.

“You were my only reason not to **** myself”
How can I love myself When the voices in my head tell me I don’t deserve it? A constant companion of self doubt that won’t quit Telling me it hates me and that I should ******* die A hundred thousand critics residing within my minds eye You tell me that I’m strong You say that I’m a hero for being able to survive Yet my league of disparagers makes it easy to contrive A million different reasons for me slit my wrist If only the voices in my psyche and I could coexist So how can you say I’m pretty When my long term phantoms disagree I’d cut my veins and swollen pills if I could only guarantee That every voice, flicker and spirit would evacuate my soul Because at least if I **** myself, then I’ll be in control
