Stay cozy.
Over the past few years I’ve fallen short of writing but a sprinkle every other blue moon on this delicious cake. Though I never stopped writing on the scratch paper in my head I would have liked to have printed more often for my inactive fans and those of you who stumbled across my trash bin of crumbled feeling on this site. This year I will upload WEEKLY so don’t be shy to follow me through this year and keep up with my less than thought out poems and lyrics as well as short stories such as Star Crossed Me. My deepest thanks from your fellow poet ~Pilgrim

Star Crossed Me
looking down at that lipstick print you left on that cigarette and what it meant to me So here’s your crown to the ******* queen of lies letting every ******* guy between your thighs end my life with your eyes like a knife without words I struggle to find the time to think about you when I’ve found someone new.

Cigarettes and You
i'm entitled to love so i've been told but the fate of my heart looks to be cold and i'd tell you i love you but the last time i tried was all in vain and i'd rather not cry so instead i'll kiss you, wish you goodnight, pretend that my affection is not a trick of the light, and i hope you'll forgive me sometime soon because forgiveness is easy so i've come to assume.

trick of the light
He always said I was a mystery. Like reading a murderous book. Who is the killer? Well, it was him. He tore my heart apart with out even knowing he held it in his hands. I bet he didn't know he was my world. That when he laughed I laughed harder, when he was sad he was a tornado and I was the city. I held onto his hand like it was hope. The tears in his eyes were just a facade. He was a comedian I was the joke. But, I still wobble behind you. Hoping you look back. But, you never did.

Untitled
This flower had color and good bloom once and yet death blind to the beauty of all living things even one as vibrant as this has swept over it branching it closer to the ground until it breaks

Dead Rose
Sunlight shining through my curtains like fire on eyelids reaching over this empty bed in which I lay. The smell of fresh coffee fills the intoxicating smoke filled air I breathe lighting that morning cigarette. Exhale interrupted by a sudden cough followed by a sigh. The clock ticks 6am. I'd rather be asleep.

I guess I woke up again today
Like frostbite on my fingertips my life is numb and my heart is cold I've given in to the physical harm and the mental abuse Waking up each day wondering why and asking myself to cry All these lies like If you just be yourself people will like you or It's okay to cry I sharpen my razer repeatedly screaming inside to wake up When in reality I'd rather be asleep Blood flows like a river from my vains Spill blood not tears I tell myself My body grows cold lying on the bathroom floor as the room begins growing dark Silence follows Waking up in a hospital bed only to ask myself why...

Blood Not Tears
why can't I write anything original Even if that's my topic I can already hear the critics cry out "How unoriginal this poem is" In that response am I left speechless? Do I just drop my hypothetical pencil and give up? Even if the world turns it's back on me Or at least whats left of my world I'll keep writing hoping one day my words reach your heart. Whoever and wherever you are out there.

An unoriginal poem to a nonexistent lover
tonight i walked through a field that used to scare me more than i scared myself and thought of the last time that i felt hopeless sixteen in my fathers car wondering how an artificial light could make me feel so empty and if it looked as dull pouring from street lights as it did shining from my tiny arms on days when the world was too loud and my voice was too small i wish i had known you then about your mind and how it perfectly mimics my own or how good it felt to lie in this field knowing it was never death that interested me it was the idea of an opportunity to follow a cold breeze that promised to take me anywhere but here and you thanked me for curing you for saving your life when you thought nobody could and reminding you that people are worth loving and worth holding onto but i’m left with a knot in my chest asking why this feels so much like leaving and letting go treat me like a stained mattress rest your body on my body let me feel the weight of your existence so i know what purpose feels like and i’ll lie patiently, waiting for a kiss three seconds to prove to you that the biggest mistake of your life was jumping before the building collapsed i’m sorry you thought this couldn’t work because i’ve never wanted anything more in my entire life than to prove that it could
