I like pens that bleed Ink that smears Girls with scars Broken parts ***** clothes Stained sheets The hint of blood The taste of lust The smells of love Nights through morning Mornings to night Suns that sleep Moons that dream And all the pretty You hide underneath Those pretty Pretty Pretty things

Pretty things
The only part of my day That I look forward to Is when I go to bed And lay there making up scenarios In my head. I think of comebacks To 8th grade bullies. I think of witty retorts To my mother's snide comments. I think of intelligent things to add To conversations I had months ago. I think of all the things I was too scared to say. And in my mind I say them. And pretend how things would be different If only I had the courage to speak.

Courage to Speak
I miss your face The way your lips curl in when you smile And your eyes light up when you speak Each word you utter falls gently on my skin Lightly caressing me, touching me Leaving me. I miss your voice I've called your mobile phone So many times, just to hear it once more Your voicemail saying "please call back" And I do, over and over, waiting patiently for you But there's still no answer. I miss your love You embraced me on the bad days And fought away memories of my mistakes Loved me through the times I destroyed myself You saved me from jumping in front of a train And let me cry in your arms. I miss your presence They say ghosts never leave you If they have unfinished business But our love isn't over, so where are you hiding Between the time of death and the goodbyes I said I still remember your lips replying, "I love you". I'm sitting at your grave Missing every inch of you, Even the parts of you that you left in me Have gone missing and I feel like an Incompleted jigsaw I have found it so hard to keep living, My heart stopped beating the moment yours did So why am I still living in a world without you I miss every part of you, so **** much.

Breathless
I recognize this ground laced with stones and poisoned barbs hike barefoot here unafraid a barren desert feels like home when there is nothing to be lost or gained I have been here many times before stripped down naked in the noonday sun watching vultures wheel and dive as I dangle twist and spin ever the enabler enabling

Déjà vu
It absorbs me, you know? Like a black hole I fall into a recess, A void in my mind. It's like my insides dig their way out, Surround me, Dragging the puppet show smile Into the center, Hiding it like a bad gift. I twist out of myself, The darkest parts come center stage, The spotlight a stark contrast. The cold spot of my dreams Drinking up the light Turning into every lucid thought we push aside. I marry it Like a death sentence, Both prey and predator, A battle along the seams of my skin. They have to drag me out of it Like a grave: I want it badly, Permanent and aching.

Sleep
I cut myself again tonight And my skin parted like the Red Sea I am Moses. I cut open my inside thigh Hiding my disease, so no one could see, Looks can be deceiving. I covered my wounds with plasters; Envying the way plasters hid pain, Much Better than I did. I took care of my wounds Incase of infection, so I would never have to explain Why my thighs cracked like volcanoes. I drew thick safety lines Thick enough to block out feelings This is apathy. I became reborn every morning After baptising in my holy tears God will receive me. I had no faith to walk over the waters Terrified that the waters would drown me I am Peter. I keep self sacrificing, hanging myself on the cross For my sins that I can't stop committing I am Jesus, Or is this blasphemy?

Cut
Drawing blank pages when my thoughts are crowded Every step I take, the same person will doubt it It's God's gift when I put my pain to paper But these days, The mirror reveals a stranger Had the Midas touch now it's writer's block Hard to guard my heart when i'm fighting lust Every face I gaze, I have no mind to trust Every girl that I loved is every bridge that I burned Time is a jewel that you lose or keep precious My times now are more sins and less confessions My dreams are silhouettes, only dark thoughts My mind fears what the heart wants To live and die young, If only I could help it take these as my last words, the eulogy's poetic.

Note to self II.
Recognise me when my face can't fantom a smile. Recognise me when I pull my sleeves down. Recognise me when I hide behind baggy clothes. Recognise me when my mood changes too quickly to be normal. Recognise me when I'm drowning without water. Recognise me when I'm crying deeper, spiritual tears. Recognise me when I'm hurting, hurting even myself. Recognise me when I'm tired, almost everyday. Recognise me when I don't care anymore. Recognise me, recognise the help I need. Help me.

Recognise me
Heavenly Father we drop to our knees, Lord please pertain to our needs. Save us, love us, cleanse us of our sins. Bless us abundantly and remain with us. Humbly we ask, watch over us. As we walk through the shadow of death, Father guide us with your light. If ever we reach a point where darkness fills our sight. Jesus, son of God, show us which way is right. Even in the times of trouble, sweet redeemer, wipe our tears For blessed are those who mourn, because we shall be comforted. As your promises are said, God comfort us in this time of need. Ashes to ashes, till death do us part, God be our guide. Lover of our soul, comfort us.
