Nothing is real
Feels like I'm breathing candyfloss and using my hands to stretch over the lonely sun *** to a ****** boy like the ecstasy in the manner in which my eyes appreciate the presence of the August summer peering through the blinds when I wake up next to you. Guilty avatars galavant in my veins as your fingers travel travel travel lose themselves in and along my skin I know your fingers have felt the skin that covers my body better than the white sheets at the morgue but now I need I need I want I need need you to be a engineer and use your fingers to reach inside my skin and fix everything that is broken for I am nothing but a second hand car Beaten, forgotten, misused. Misused, forgotten, beaten. Baby I'm sad, and I'm begging you to be the one that see's through me

Baby I'm Ice Cold
I want to be your 911 and your favourite childhood blanket and I want to be your goodnight instead of your goodbye. I want to be your favorite pair of shoes and the air beside you so that I'm always next to you and I know you're comfortable.   I want to be my parents' "I knew she could do it" instead of their "she's not trying hard enough." I want to be my friends' safety net and not their other 24hour emergency hotline-dial-me-when-you-need-me. I am not temporary. I want to be a girl who smiles because the world engraved laugh lines in her gentle face and not a happy pill trapped mistake. But I will never be those things. I will never be those things because, in your eyes I will be the last cigarette in every pack that smells and tastes so good, but hurts your chest in the most unforgivable way. But I will never be, for you.

I just wanted to be yours
It's just a black empty space and I have created a corner in this circle because I need security in the form of things, and not, people. And I unzipped my skin because someone smiled at me in the wrong way this morning or because I laughed into the mirror forgetting it was there. I am dreaming of the heavens because God every night is singing me songs of sweet surrender, coaxing me "child, it's okay." And I unzip my skin because the tears and the sadness and the Everest of grief swirls in my arteries and dances in my veins and I feel ***** I unzip my skin so when you hold my hand or feel my pulse beat against yours, I am empty because I want you to remain, pure. And soon I will unzip my soul to galavant in the heavens so my bones can dance in the richest soils, rattling the song of goodbye. It was nice knowing you.

dark day : five
Sometimes your hands will become anchors and you will try to move and the ground will thank you for keeping still. And you will only notice this because suddenly you'll ask yourself," doesn't the ground feel lonely?" And the people will spit on the deeply- tarred -equator -feeling bubblegum laced ground. And the people drag their obese- nicotine savaged-righteous feet upon the surface and allow their children to pick at it, mimicking their itchy adolescent nostrils. The ground, we never realised is a playground for lovers backs and the collector of the suicidal's blood from every 27th floor. But mostly it connects us all. This is noted from the thoughts of a 17 year old girl who wants to thank the ground for being grey and sometimes brown or green and wants to be forgiven for being the next shade of red on it's beauty.

And the people they whisper
And my toes gripped on the edge of the cobblestone lining. And I cried because you weren't there to tell me to "get over it" and message me, "it'll be okay," but I was also glad. Because I finally let the voices envelop me, they're real you know, the voices? And for the first time in three years, I was warm, I was so warm. The birds decorated the air above me and the cars zigzag the ground in between my feet. I lifted my arms up slowly and laughed, a real laugh. And I thought about how nobody really undersands and how much it hurts to breakdown every time the sun rises in the morning. I prayed to God and asked him to open up the heavens. And then, I jumped.

bad day : four
I'm tired of choking on my personality. Because you people are always trying to cut down people's trees and I'm that phone call that makes you put down that axe and walk back inside. You're ruining me I'm tired of choking on my personality. Because you people, you lovers of mine, are always trying to escape and I'm that last shot of ***** that allows your hands to find their way onto her hips. (again and again) (and again in November) You're ruining me I'm tired of choking on my personality. Because you people are always asking me to listen to your sins and I haven't even found my God yet. You're ruining me I'm tired of choking on my personality. Because you people empty my pockets and pillage my soul and you won't even lend me five cents to visit my psychiatrist. You people. You people, what have I ever done to you. "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"

why have You forsaken me
and today everything hurt. my tears confused my tongue, and the hurt tasted different. i wasted 8 minutes trying to console myself over the disappearance of my soul. and the darkness became the highest paying tenant in my arteries. you know, i googled "how to tie a noose" today. did you know that people favour the hangman's noose to the strangle-snare? i think im broken. dear friends, one day if you read this, if you knew? why didn't you say anything.

dark day : three
I remember when you walked up to me in a quiet, busy room and proclaimed to me and my friend that we looked like celebrities without makeup on. I scrubbed my face seven times a day after that, hoping that the ugly would trickle down the sink even though it laughed at me in the mirror. I remember when I noticed you for the first time and your tongue spoke a different language to the girl, next to me. I remember when I noticed you for the first time, because everyone else did too. I remember when you breathed butterflies into my soul, because my body and my mind divorced and my actions were an orphaned burden with no guidance. I remember when you left. I remember when you started to look at drugs the way you used to look at me. The way you held your cigarette with a tender shaking hand, similar to how you used to hold me. I also remember how you said you'd never hurt me. I guess you, forgot.

hey, i remember -
Everytime I think of you. Everytime I think of you my skin tries to run away, and the goosebumps infect the people next to me. My stomach contents heave-ho and tango to the beat of my limping heart. The tears swirl and tickle my eyelashes, but they do not fall, like I, for you. Everytime I think of you. Everytime I think of you I forget how to use the 26 letters of the alphabet to spell your name. The tastes of "want" and "need" ****** my tongue because you are those flavours. Everytime I think of you. I try to stop. Because you turned the butterflies in my stomach into moths. Why did you do that?
