blinded by nostalgia
21:00. Almost 24 hours later. I empty. I have dragged it all day. Letting it sweat out of my pores. (I hoped). Spilling onto glassy onlookers on the motorway. Burrowing holes within my skull. Are you wearing jewellery? Replaying your height in your mind? Thinking of showers and churches? Do you miss the long silence between carefully constructed words at 4am? Are you morally superior? I am. Have the clocks ceased to chime for her? Have you been ******* her in the car? On the kitchen table? Maybe one day. You are a Fred Perry polo and a cord skirt. You are a PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW pin. When can I put in a period? You made me start writing again. Made me start cutting again. Correction - I did. Goodbye. Goodbye. I love you. I love you too. Read: 04:02.

get a grip.
but that feeling had lost me some time ago now. but yet,I had missed the innocent despair of hopelessness; it just coincides so perfectly with the isolated night.

Oh, to be young and In love. To cry with eyes stung By a dove. To watch as my face Dawns the window, And scream as morals Reach a new low. I’ll drown with the spider From childhood, And follow my love When he would. You would tangle your Legs within mine And I’ll trip upon Bottles of wine. But don’t tell a soul What you see This love was meant Only for me.

Honestly no
Through wildest gardens I trespass. Across barbed wire and flowers planted by my best friends I crawl. Only to fall through you with forbidden rivers. I follow you into the sun, as it climbs clocks in my mind. I find comfort in the thorns as they tear my flesh, and I bleed my own tears of dandelions. With birthday candles you would hold me. With shooting stars I can ask you for your lips to write letters to my own, Without the fear of doors confessing. Call me in the early hours. Admire me as I jump from the window. I can cross your cigarette mind, as streetlights and headlights dream of me. I commit suicide in your arms with whispers choking me. Silent screams reach only you who knows the sirens of my car as I drive further away. I miss your heaven. I desire your volumes. And weep for your hands. Binge our universe where we sleep together underneath oak trees and among flowers which we together planted. growing uncontrollably through the barbed wire.

bolted potential
please hold me. show me summer within your breath. I need to touch you, for I have watched a thousand miles go by. but you do not need me to hold you. as you live an eternal summer with her. never will your nerves beg for my skin while you cannot drive to me. flute solos sing in my mind. shirts scream at me in the store. smoke seems to illustrate your lips. sarcasm begs to break my heart. hurl knives at my stomach and allow them to disappear into my thigh and chest. clasp my hand and smash a mirror watch as I devour the shards. paranoia is embodied by her height. egotism lies and I am superior. cancer corrects and I fall apart. you don't love me the way you love her. please don't abandon her if you are leaving spring. but please I beg of you don't abandon me more.

a girlfriend
Countless times they tell you to speak, yet countable times they tell you of the ringing of the leap and the acid of the crash. You will never hear of your heart choking you or your blood deafening you as you stand at the edge of his 77 story building. You will seldom hear of the mangling reality that follows your dance from the top When his arms do not need to catch you and his eyes set you aside To jump is to donate your soul. To leap is to abandon your pride. You're shielded on your 18th floor. But **** - his arms seem so tender.

nothing to declare
Are you angry with me? please be angry with me. for that is the only reason I painted my lips and that is the only reason I licked his. and you are the only reason I wore this dress and you are the only reason I allowed him to take it off. I am despicable, I am careless but I am despicable, I am careless for you. you are the cause of the collapse of my heart and you are the cause of the explosion in my chest. Are you upset with me? please be upset with me. for that is the only reason I lead them all on and that is the only reason I send the wrong texts. and you are the only reason that they shiver in my presence and you are the only reason that I have earned icy names. I watch them without a care for their struggle for you are the only one that cares about my own. you are the cause of the breaking of my soul the cracks that you are so familiar with you caused. Are you in love with me? Please be in love with me.
