"You wanna climb up the stairs, / I wanna push you back down. / But I let you inside, / So you can push me around. / / If I leave before you, / And I walk out alone, / Keep your hands to yourself / When you follow me home." / Criticism is welcomed, I'm looking to improve my poetry.
Notes tighten the headphone noose around my mind
Hang me on the wired gallows
Define my time through red wine and hollow songs
Screaming among me
Chords like choking chloroform cover my ears,
Drown the fears
Syncopate and reverberate
Don't make the mistake this time
of drowning under my own weight.
Smother my infectious insecurities
And laugh with me.
Let the rhythm serve as a jury.
Pull me into comfortable apathy.
Songs like shotguns splattering self doubt against this screen,
Its retrograde and mean.
But it's the only tangible thing it seems.
Ready the rock 'n' roll revolver!
6 rounds to ecstasy.
*** drugs, and skin smoulder
Bass-encased bullets blasting rounds on replay,
Swallow the shells
Cough up gun powder
Spit greased teeth
Rinse and repeat

Chords like choking chloroform covering my ears,
Smother my infectious insecurities!
Songs like shotguns splattering self doubt against this screen,
Ready the rock 'n' roll revolver!
Bass-encased bullets blasting rounds on repeat,
Annihilate these acidic anxieties!
Suicide solo
Sing me into reverie
Bury me!

Meanings mull within mulish minds
Letters like lingering halitosis
Words waft with each exhale
Sentences,
swirling, sliding, sighing
Phrases pant per pulmonary systems
Tumbling through teeth,
Vocabulary resonates outward
Into the stagnant air
Permanence spills over tongues
Word ***** condemnation
Speak your life sentence

You made it
You are doing so well
I'm so proud of you
You're doing it!
You're living your life
You are happy
You are safe
He loves you
He cares about you so much
You have no worries
Everything will work out
You won't feel like this forever
You will be okay

Let go of the pain
Let go of the hurt
Allow yourself to breath
Don't hate the body that holds you
You are a soul
You have a soul
Cradled in this body
There is a child that sleeps here
Child
Breathe
Let go of the hurt
He can't hurt you
Don't hide child
Smile
Be okay
Things are going to be okay I promise
You will wake up tomorrow
You will draw breath
You will live
It's okay to cry
Cry baby
Please cry
Let go of it all
And be free

Weight
I can't escape
Heavy on my chest
When did it become so hard to breathe?
Internal demands of perfection
Drowning in my thoughts
Anxiety
Wrecks havoc through me
I forgot what happiness feels like
This gripping
Clenched fist inside my chest
Just won't let go

I think of how his tears evaporate when I rub them in between my finger and thumb
I see his scowl of anguish and all I can think to do is kiss him
Cry with him
Mix our salty dewdrops together
So he knows he is not alone
He is not the only one in pain
That I am here with him
Holding him holding me
absorbing all the hurt that I can hold in me
So it won't be within him
I sit in his lap
He holds me as I shudder into him
I hold his face in my hands
Forehead to forehead
The tips of our noses are wet with each others tears
Swirl the salty dewdrops into our skin
Breathe deeply
Inhale my exhale
Please know that you will be okay
We will both be okay
As long as you hold on to me
I will hold you to to my chest
And we will let the pain run down our faces
I will cry for you, for me, for our souls, for the hurt and anger
Cry for me my love
Cry for the pain,
what's lost
And for the fact that one day this will end

What is it called
When you have a love
Someone you cherish
But for some reason can't ever be good enough for?
I'm sorry
That I can't give you more
You say you don't want it
But you deserve it
You deserve someone who doesn't want to hurt you
Someone who respects you
Someone who can do anything for you
I'm sorry I'm too ****** up to know how to love someone as wondrous as you

He holds me as if I were a newborn latched to his chest
Clinging to his love
I can't get over the feeling of being in his arms
He puts his hands on me and I realize
This is where I belong
Holding him holding me
I can feel the deepest parts of me reaching into the depths of him
And I know
I've never felt like this about another person
