M All that I've written here is my property.
I stopped going with the waves. I turned and let them crash against me. I had my anchor, pulling up the ground. All that's left is this forsaking. We made this scenery. The way you folded arms around me. No contenders, by your spell I'm bound. It was a dream we dreamed in waking. I relive this forever. A miserly toll. To these waves, I would surrender Everything I've known. But there's a catch in me. A ****** hook of reverence. This isn't love, I know. I can't help this reveling. This decadence in limerence. It pulls me down, fearful and spellbound. If I'm ever found, will there be anything Worth taking? What I'd trade to masquerade this misery. It is all I have as offering to free me back into the waves.

Limerence
Overheat in sun, I am in idle, unable to Run away from fears, lies and denials,  they catch on Everything I do, all tests and trials, and they drag me Toward The sun. - -- --- Nowhere to hide. I greet the serpent, coiled inside. Striking my mind. And my heart faithfully carries the bite. Time and time again, I am freed through this affliction. Wind and unwind. A towering knot, deeply entwined. Wrapping my mind. Finally, my heart is now blind. Time and time again, It beats through this decision. --- -- - The fever of life, unbound and wild, telling me to Copy the path, be a child, and in time these Serpents that bled me, will feel the heat, and hungrily Come to Consume This pain.

Deny it if you wish. We all live for this. It makes no difference; Meaningful, meaningless. To dissolve your walls, To play with this trigger. To let it go off, Then return it to sender. Call it a holy act. Call it something sick. It is still a fact: You want it.

Friction
Hands in my head Fingers in my eyes Worlds of said Fury of minds Guns in my heart Bullets in my veins Rupturing the soul Blowing up the brain Laws in my body Bribes in my health Chemicals, the jury Reactionary wealth Angels in my heaven ******* in my hell Reservation limbo _

You let go. What it could've been, well, we'll never know. Line up your memories in a row. That way, when they fail, you won't be confused anymore. There won't be a single thing left to throw you off your trajectory. There won't be a single lingering unknown. Leave it all in a neat little line. Shouldn't take long, you've barely lived your life. Disregard the voices in your mind. Your heart has died, they'll tell only lies. Let. It. Go. Quit fighting for whatever, God only knows. Give it up and welcome in the cold. It's all you have left to hold.

The spaces you carved out in me left behind some figure for the way I ought to be. The traces of you, that fill me, all I can remember, leave me empty.

God, help me.
I can't skip rocks over lakes or rivers. I can't go down without the surface coming down with me. I can't keep talking and thinking I'm sane. I can't see how others make the ripples and claim to see clearly.

Whatever is left of me, if you can remember anything I've ever said, down any path I've ever led you, or wherever you've led me, if you can see me, I'm free now, for this world that is always taking. There's no need to lie to me, there's no need to comfort this dying fool who wasted his time, pining in his prime for a chance he knew would never come. After all, this misery was by design, to save the one I love. It's over now, I'm giving up. I don't want your sympathy, your thoughts or your prayers. I wish I could illustrate what I've won from this dare. How do you describe something that isn't there? I lean on the hope that what's left of me, you'll share. I took so much effort bleeding out this place, I've emptied every coffer, every altar defaced. I scraped away the pretty paint looking for the matter, and there it was, this emptiness, getting fatter. Now I sink in, once again, to this bog I've been stuck in, struggled in, woke up in, fell asleep in, dreamed in, broke free in, feared in, **** and ****** in, got cleaned in, once again, it takes me under.

Crawling Again
Every light I see at night, Ripping through the darkly hue, Worded right, I hope they might Make come true a wish for you. Wild star, falling far Without shame, unafraid Heaven mar, henna scar Though untamed, you know her name.

Slow Burn
I've gone mad in the empty I've breathed in too much hope I've collected one big memory Bit it, chewed, and choked When something dies within me A slice of life maudlin I'll spit out my misery Bite, chew, choke again I'll keep this up forever It will be my effigy The loss that keeps me together Until it, too, is empty
