Depression
I hope the significant being growing inside me can't sense how insignificant its host is.

Insignificant
Feeling important-- That feeling you get when you look at pictures of your not-husband with his family who don't know you exist. Feeling inspired-- Watching videos of people doing things I'll never have enough motivation to achieve. Feeling enlightened-- My cat is cuddling me the more I stay in bed and don't do anything, while everyone I know thinks I'm a successful busy body. Feeling empowered-- That feeling you get when you can see the workplace political web weaving itself into knots, only because people don't give a **** enough to not tell you. Feeling loved-- So many people are asking for my company now, which makes it easier to give people just enough time to have a taste, but not quite enough time to actually swallow me. Feeling fulfilled-- That moment when you realize nothing you do matters, so why not get obliterated to Justin Bieber?

In your slumber, I find you wandering deciduous Dreamland forests under a harvest moon waiting for me to arrive. Your chocolate eyes melt when we embrace, bubbling forth your soul-- molten lava, cooling in briny blue oceans to create new earth. Upon it, my green eyes lay lichen and bury the seeds we've fertilized, so that they may mature into sequoias from our Love, forever present. Oh, how they'll reminisce about the worlds we've created.

Late Night Love Reminiscent
When we get to play together, we have ropes around our necks, and as dogs those ropes are tied to the poles; however, we’ve placed those poles and tied those ropes, hoisting the noose around each other’s necks. How long are we to go on like this before we run beyond our diameters and end our lives as we know them, change the knot so that our play won’t be lethal, or slip off what bounds us and run together free?

Infidelity
Bite into me with those white, vampiric teeth Please-- convert me to what you are, so, together, we can forget the meaning of time.

Temptation
If we’re all actually in the hands of a Christian God— His tight grip has melted me like chocolate, and I’ve slipped through His mighty fingers— a puddle of delicious rejuvenation. I spread everywhere, molding to all of the bumps and cracks in the floor. Sweet, sweet freedom. His son can never mop me up and remold me into His image.

Chocolate
The desert air was stealing water from the children’s skin. Their German Shepherd sprinted along the rusting fence, her paws flinging dust storms and leaving a foot-deep moat in their path. The children’s mother filled the bitch’s trench to its brim with water from the plastic hose. It almost melted in her hands-- its oily rubber stench gave her a headache and she went to rest in the air-conditioned kitchen, leaving her ******** son in the care of the middle child, the daughter from the same father. Her ******* daughter sat waiting for her, quivering in a wooden chair. As her mother rested, her tears pooled on the table, and she stuttered to Mother about what their father stole from her body. Their mother’s blood became bile, realizing the man she married was a monster. The mother stood up from her splintered chair to gaze through the murky window at the children she bore with the beast. They skidded on their tummies across the only wetland in the lowly desert town, giggling and splashing their limbs in the filthy yard. She wondered how she would tell her son that they were moving far away, without daddy. She frowned at the daughter of the ********* could she have at least one stable child?

Barely Stable
Consume speed, rid auxiliary weight— no love handles, no fat from rearview— just frame, pumping heart, place where man can sit. Muffin-top women watch me quiver under skin, unshakable desire to chew fat from their bodies— never know if I’d swallow or spit.

Atrophy
Red, flushed lips and green, lush eyes, my pearly white teeth and ripe, wet licks: we're ready to strike with soft, sweet bites, the slow, great pressure will break your **** and you'll flow into me. But soon, the gray will come and I will be lost in its fog, and you, well, you better **** yourself back in and run before you, too, come near to drowning on my chemical sadness. It always happens soon after; my burgundy heart suckles on passion and returns to its crimson ways, and all I'll want to do is play. If you think you can wait.
