it feels like, before you composition was just theory.

i haven't felt the strength radiate from her bones, nor have i seen her eyes through mine. regardless, i'll pick up and shine every penny if'n it'll take me to her. sitting crossleg at a bridge unfinished, ready to know what's on the other side.  eager enough that i'm almost willing to trudge through whatever muck they're trying to save me from. i can see- over the wires and wet cement, the rubble and the river- her shadow playing with those from trees and bees and other beings. i hear her laughter on the south east side of the town she's living, and i feel it radiate within me, fuelling embers and coaxing them to grow into unmanageable flames. i don't want to love another, dear. this is my last basket, and the rest of my eggs.

i cry everytime i’m thinking of you. i let go of something that i am not sure i will ever get back. so now, i am (naturally) hitting the bottle (through and through) & i have no desire to stop. your habits and smile, your skin & the way it glistens. take me to a field and confess to me, the worst & the best. spark my interests & leave me clueless. i’m desperate and soft, if that’s what you’re still into. i cry out your name at least every other day. is that what you wished to hear? i want to rid myself of you. i want my *** drive back. i want to love someone other than you.

i can't stop picking at the skin under my fingernails everytime i look at the first picture i ever saw of you the world switched on me i have a bran new start. my slate was cleaned (only after entering the void) i was scared and alone, sure that i would never come back. sure that i would live 3 lives simultaneously. tri colored in every which way, i was stuck in formation most similar and related to the fibonacci sequence. and now that i have overcome this, and moved through every door. i still have the keys, and i know which ones it will take to open the correct doors to get to you. i have no fear.

the overwhelming push from inside the void
let yourself be the pride in your eyes wear yourself like a cloth . remember that [you] are not defined by visuals or metaphysics .

LET IT GROW
it drips down, off the ceiling, over the candelabrum and right into my own lap. i'm sitting catty corner to an old lady that once told me i'd never find love. now, she is spitting lines like, "you found it and you let it go." and "you'll never be so lucky again." you think i'm not aware? or that i cannot remember the spit shake, the transfer of blood? i've drained myself emotionally, almost done so physically. i'm stammering, liquifying my insides. simply put, i'm laying on my floor intoxicated as i am told that the way i handle love, is no way to handle at all. all the while, i'm wish you would come over and cover my ears. dreaming you up laying atop of me while i bury my face into the pillow, running your hands through my hair and speaking directly to my brain, "if you feel it a crash landing, land softly."

heart felt without fabric
can you see the piles, the broken pens and the drops of kool-aid coloured blood all over my bed, and my floors? not only in the bedroom, i'm trailing it all over towns i visit. i retraced my steps today for the first time in a long time, and i found an old draft. someone else had picked it up, and drew in shapes in the places i left blank. i'll never know when i've got it. these words can't compete with the feelings i store up. if only i wasn't so vague, i think i could be understood.

s.n/w.t.
i'm picking up my clothing from the floor and hastily packing them into a small bag. i'm taking off, without notice to the ones who will miss me most. my mind is no longer able to give time that i do not have to the ones who would take that time and cash it in, only to reject the profit, and spend pointless nights with another soul. i refuse to spread my self out again, at least for now. in hopes that someday, my love will find it's way back to me. blissfully, i rest my head. for the last few nights i have here, i will keep you away from my thoughts, and most importantly my person. -- i never thought you to be so noxious.

h/l.ihy.bh.d.
the rattling of the train on the tracks that runs right by us, shakes the core of the six strings that once held me together. i feel complete, laying next to you. and maybe i, well maybe i’m wrong. but this feels right. the creation we we bring the world. the composition of notes and love and exchanging breaths, the beautiful rhythm that we share cannot be fabricated again. there. i feel safe. hearing you laugh, (on my behalf) wether i like it or not, feels good. like sinking  my teeth into your bare neck. like pushing into you, with pure lust… i feel safe. feeling you, here, even if i’m not knowing enough for my own comfort.. i feel safe.

t dawned on me the morning after she shook me down to my marrow. she was going to break my skin (with consent) and drill holes into my bones and get what she came for. nothing could turn me on more. she never stops craving a certain taste, and lately i seem to be lacking flavor-of-the-month. rearrange. should i ask? with your eyes.. could you ever just see me?
