American books. boots. music. sex. drugs. everything else is just icing on an alright cake.
....... He'll never know. Ever know that I cheat on him with a dead man. the nights he says I hum in my sleep, it's cause I'm singing to you as you stroke my cheeks. I giggle pretending he's crazy but 'tis really me that's the loon, calling for a dead boy in my dreams and not knowin' till the livin' one hushes me. ....... He'll never ever know. That while he's lovin' me in my sleep, I'm curled in a breathin' man's chest heaves. I'm grateful he'll never see me wake, clingin' to another in the sun's full rays. Despite all my desperate pleas for me to remain, the light always steals me away and I wait with bitter disappointment for the one that only night's sweet shade can bring

My Lazarus
I can't. It hurts too much, I love you and I never said it and it ended too soon and now the words are ******* burnt on top of my tongue and heart forever stitched into my memory like an infected Wound closed too early that harbors a breeding infection worsening with time. And I hate it, wish I could cut it out like a nagging splinter but I can't because it's intangible so **** you and **** this and **** me for Letting you sear me branding your face into my eye sockets so I can't rest and I close my lids on purpose just to see you. So when he thinks I'm lost in kissing him my eyes are ******* shut because I'm saying hi to you again with my lips.

Panic switch
"I like your veins" was the first thing I ever said to you. You laughed and let me trace them with my fingertips up your arm. And then we couldn't stop. Everyone in the crowded room seemed to watch.

To the boy who held me like I was his teddy bear I dreamt of you nearly every night these past 4 months and woke up sad, missing you I bled for you Biting my tongue to hold it from telling you everything that my heart screamed Because I, the girl who doesn't jump during horror films walks through cemeteries at night sometimes leaves the front door unlocked and always speeds through yellow lights was too ******* scared to show you my insides Today I saw her. And you with your arms around her Your face was hidden but hers wasn't Her smile, those happy teeth tore into me like a jagged hot knife and seared the tendrils of my insides that I worked so hard to guard That's what it took to lay bare my weak heart in a message to you that bore all the words buried alive on the battlefield of my scarred tongue Love heals all wounds what about the ones love makes that open up and bleed afresh when thoughts of you fall like brittle thorns from my wandering mind trickling between the ribs unnoticeable a quiet wound to suffer a heavy cross to bear this stigmata of the heart

Stigmata of the Heart
The books that are old, weathered, and worn are the ones to behold, love, and keep from scorn Crack their spines and anytime could be the last but you'll find that pleasure floods your senses fast from the breath of disused pages emanating the dust of moths' wings is contagious as they sing the words of a generation forgotten a voice, a mind, a soul misbegotten to tell the tales untold but not forgotten never forgotten as long as there are eyes to soak them in before they rotten and sink into the neglected graves overgrown and decrepit a fate so many try to stave yet so few manage in this day and age of kindles, nooks, and electronic books a world on the verge of betraying the written word on pages that need to be turned to resurrect, transport, disgorge a once tangible strife and give respite to the reader's ever folding life

Yellowed and Fettered
You were the perfect **** buddy No talking, just *** and cuddling A mutual agreement between our bodies A few months and then end of story Two years later you reappear A new man, who talks and listens with words of care Wanting and searching for something that just is not there. I liked your tattoos, your height, your eyes, your strength, and your hair. But the love you're looking for was never a part of our affair

Sweetheart.
Remember the time we ate shrooms and spent the night lying in a graveyard my shoe broke on the long walk home and you carried me across the parking lot because there could have been glass Remember the time you saved me from a boy I didn't want to kiss you hid me at the top of a rocket ship and every time he tried to enter you shoved him down with your foot Remember the times we laid side by side on the cold wooden floor and blasted music all night long till the stars ceased to shine Remember the time you got out of jail and walked to my house to crawl into my bed but found another boy there instead you quietly left and I had no clue till you confessed later Remember the time you left early in the morning to catch your flight and I didn't wake up but when I did there were two CDs on my pillow that you had spent all night making Remember the time you said I was wifey material after I danced on stage at a white rave in my black bra Remember the time I dyed my hair green and met your visiting girlfriend and you said I looked like medusa I wanted to sock you Remember the time we got drunk and took xanax and laid in my bed you made your move then and I giggled during our kiss because I was high and scared it'd change us but it hurt your feelings on accident Remember the time I started hooking up with your best friend/roommate and you had to sleep on the couch I'm sorry I was so callous Remember the time you sent me a christmas present it was a build-able straw the best thing anyone has ever given me Remember the times you tried to love me and I wouldn't let you now you're gone chasing ****** and I miss you so much that I write to you all the time I write about you because I can't stop talking to you even when you disappear

This is the year I'll try to be brave and stop running I can't guarantee it'll work I won't promise that I will but I'll try Try to let a boy in I know it sounds cliché but I need to let someone figure me out A cold sore and a box of tampons On the eve of new year's eve Was my wake up call a cosmic karma ***** slap if you will A sign from the gods that there will be hell to pay if I don't try to change my ways Enough of the hunt and chase they say for I've carpeted my dense forest with all the maimed hearts from seven years of a coquettish past But how to change? How does the hunter willingly become the hunted to throw down one's crossbow and wait defenseless I'm so good at what I do How do I force myself to lose my self in order to stop the vicious thing I've become

Resolution: goodbye Artemis, hello Aphrodite
The Whole Foods vampire Works behind the bread counter I want to lick the flour dust Off his ivory fingertips And explore his body's every inch I'd like to see that skin in the moonlight To see him really come alive Reflecting the glimmer of pale life That white can show on other white I'd like to leave my marks all over him Trace my desire upon his skin Brush of red lipstick Delicate pink scratches Tender blue love bites For a second he smiles at me Like he's seen my whole fantasy Then hands my sliced bread to me And asks if that is all I need...

Hungry Love
I like the ones with the devilish look to them but you're seraphic even on your worst day If you looked a tad bit naughty when being mischievous instead of so ******* sweet I think I'd fall harder for you and faster than when Lucifer tumbled headlong from heaven Like the morning star, I probably wouldn't have given a **** during the descent Expecting the hurt when I hit But loving every second of it Since the pain was worth every ounce of the pleasure
