American My name is Emma, There are few things I have to say. / Ive been through a life of adventure, and I love words.
My body is fine It is not fine wine It is not **** fine but its fine "My body" is a foreign phrase Because it is there Its not here Its just there its fine But sometimes my body does not feel like mine It doesn't feel like yours or hers or his But it feels unlike mine It feels fine in a way of Its just, there yet not there Sometimes it wants to change But I do not want to change I want to like what's already there The fine I've had to grow use to Adapt to The fine of old and new The fine I tell myself to learn to like The fine that stops me from asking too much The fine that wont let me bother The it's fine The you're fine The you're perfect the way you way But I sit here curled up and I realize Maybe Maybe its not fine

Myself
There is no fatigue that is not of the wind,      with storms that land on seas blow in. Speckled dust of others sorrows.      As feelings launch from mouths spitting wild. With shivers we feel the wind releasing,         out our fingertips gripping our own throats releasing.

The Ship has sailed
When I close my eyes In those times when my mind wanders An image of you makes my heart sting I see her on the outside like shes still inside The words we exchanged in moments shared Encompassed in pouring water Our bodies pressed gently as we laid near I wish I had caught your distance But your promises of forever broke my heart I needed you Would it have made a difference if I knew that then? I admit this now as the wet pen strokes the soft paper Like the smell of your empty room our time together was short lived, like the happiness in your eyes The fire you started burnt me to a smoldered black You were so small and comfortable in my arms Yet the damage you did was enough for two After my death you became absent Your words posed threats, and you told me I changed but how do you stay the same after you lose your life I needed you Where did you go when you went back to him Is your unhappiness in his bed, better than a year with me I was your first valentine, and our drunk kisses tasted like warm blooded wine In exile you run to forget us I see you with your crowd you cling Your eyes look over me, and under your clothes I miss you You left me in ruins The pieces I had already lost, far before you came I needed you, and I feel the need for you still grows Im a fool, yet I know you're still here You're in my head like a plague I know your silence, it speaks enough You've left, and you made sure I don't follow.

I miss you, I miss her
I use to think all I needed was to run away to make a life for myself in pine filled scents of rain scratch my name in the sand live life the proper way, in simpler times but I've come to realize this is a fantasy, a wish I shouldn't plead because where does this dream lead? when I follow the rocks at the end of the manufactured road away from this constructed life, so easy to blame and find there's nothing thereafter, no happily ever after I'm here in my solitude waiting, like every one said was such bliss living day to day, no more big bills to pay but I'm still left to my thoughts that so plague my river is still poisoned but I thought if I flushed it through the lake I'd be free I did not stop my river, and I have no dam to stop the flood because I came here to my simple life, supposing it would make it all go change only to notice I'm still unfinished, and I'm back at the start, feelings pacing my heart what happens when you open a door to find its one someone else made leading to another man-made garden of promises to be claimed Where do I run to now? What fills your head when flights have left the field? Black when I close my eyes and my feet are dragging there are no signs pointing to the next station and I missed the last train How do you remember what home looks like When I can't even see

Life didn't tell me
I'm afraid of where this all may lead It happened faster than a wound can bleed As if in all my past attempts, I falter but with this I feel far stronger, than when a wave so strong falls beneath my feet in currents I swim, and water I breath but in this, I do not drown it is my mind that now reaches beyond my bounds Because I feel with you, I am at a loss it could end up with me in your arms or in between a rock, and hard tears stained on alter or bed sheets, alone where will I be lead and where is this road?

Under you
It is on this day The eve on the 'morrow that my insatiable hunger cannot be satisfied It is on this night on the early morn' of a new dawn that i am at a lack of devices that could stop my yearn' Yet with my lack of conviction I find that in debt and loss I can begin to breath a new wave of emptiness can be considered a blessing When gluttony can only fill you up with unease

Toast
In this, I feel Shaky hands that cannot type My breath unable to catch like coats on a hanger Chocked by garbage dispensers in mid flight I have no one to blame but myself For letting your smile that stabs like daggers, Into my vulnerable organs now spilled on the floor, all the more craddled in my now bloodied hands You could say its my lack of conviction or my social manners in dealing with all the more composed Your eyes that catch mine and rip open the doors to my early demise Yet, These intense emotions are all in my head This lair where you slumber and never wake because you are not really here Your stay is that of a cheap motel fly, who zips and zaps your noise quick and sharp How all the others cannot see the glow that surrounds you is beyond any words I could compose It is known that I do, because it is I that is motionless from the amount I inject The osmosis of emotional intake, has left me dead on the ground.

Its in every glance
My eyes sharply snap My breathing broken from nightmares ripping apart The screaming is my own voice now, as I plead to the sky for help Someone, I cry Just anyone right now The silence fills the room again, like it was before from biological rain streaks on window panes to mascara black down pours, I have this need to be surrounded By company to keep me sane Yet my presence is but an absence And those I call out to, never hear what I have to say My day begins and ends the same My eternal calling never being filled The ripping of my chest then swallows What little willpower I have left to live.

The Morning Begins Again
Cleaning out the dirt left in the kitchen Found something great, something special, Sweet poison sweet love Stinging like a bee like a sweet kiss soft in touch, but burning my heart all the same I'm not even crying but my eyes are tired Seeing things it doesn't want to see, Not even painful memories Just the harsh reality, of not love not even a deluded form just a microscopic feeling not even hate I found my solution Who knew it would come Like an Abusive relationship Between Heart, Home, and Sun Bruises and Bite marks Like a Dog might have malled maybe even a little letter No big or no small, What I'm saying is this doesn't hurt Or maybe it hurts too much Maybe I'm turning a little numb from just the right amount of shock I cant bear to even look just staring for a moment, hiding shame? is it shame I honestly don't know I just want to kiss you, but im kissing my skin because this doesnt hurt not the same kind of hurt we feel but a sweet sweet kind the kind only i can take

Sweet
The plague is running red now My heart is pit-pattering something fierce The storm is raging harder my lonely ship could sink I feel I have been defeated, rather than what actually transgressed There are so many things I could have said, but would you understand Dont throw those feelings around, with words Ive always dreaded My Apollo, My Muse, come to do as all gods do Punish the tempted, who stay strong for nay, is said to soothe What ever happened to Job, for staying steadfast to higher standards And then his lips placed judgment, into my enlightened ear Ive always had a likeness for you, you said without batting an eye yet we have other people we are promised too, you still increase with pride Ive always despised this confidence you have, with destroying others lives So many women have fallen, and so many have been tossed aside Oh foul morality, I do, I hold so true The warmth of your skin against mine, could tame even the coldest shrew Yet there I am in silence, turned away from your sight Of the man Ive idolized for centuries, wearing nothing but his smile
