Non-binary Something's bleeding out of me / Whatever it is, it's viscous
My darling dearest fled; Are the cliffs forever cold? There's so much inside your head. Do you dream of days of old? You left so much in your wake, In your trip to the sea. Remember to wish that it was fake, And hope to forget me. The ocean will treat you well, As well as you treated the stars. May you dance in the craters where you dwell As you did when the moon was ours. Do not mourn! We are not dead. We do not remember you with scorn! I respect where you've made your bed, And wish you love forever more.

Farewell to the Foam
You heard a door slam! You know the curtains tore. You were scared, he was frightened, "It's a ghost!" She swore. Yet you tucked your children in (though they were scarred forevermore) But don't worry, It's just me, crab walking across your floor

The Lighthouse Party
A chest, ornate and dark, With gold lettering for the brand, Holds the things that have been said about us without our knowledge. One day we opened it, and realized that we'd rather have it filled with sea monsters than see it empty ever again, And that was the day we were born.

The People's Chest
The sentence looks like someone who's sibling I used to be, smells like sand and Pepto Bismol. and is wet and warm and sticky. As it sounds like a gun shot in an apartment in Virginia, The sentence whispers to me a time of death.

Personification of Grief
The old woman ran a leathery hand through her cropped hair. "Yes, you may weep for the fields of green, as they were gorgeous yet thought to be boring." She rocked back and forth and her wrinkled face contorted into a smile for the first time in the conversation. "You may always cry for the tulip fields as they were devastatingly beautiful yet loathed." And yet, as soon as her face had lit up like a thousand suns, it was once again devoid of expression. "But, nonetheless, reserve your pity for those that loved he or she that burned out, for every lover of Icarus knows that it is better to be hated than to go unnoticed."

The Lover Of Icarus
The sun dances on her hair, The brown echoing the colour of both her eyes and her freckles As she dances through the sunflowers that are taller than her. The other girl almost starts wondering how long it can last. But she doesn't because She promised the other girl that she wouldn't. She also promised she would not pay attention to the siren or how it is getting very hot, and very bright, very fast.

Happy Poems by Happy People doing Happy Things
Eric thought the other boy was beautiful, so he took pictures. He took his smirk He took the cliche sparkle from his eyes He took everything Until his beautiful boy was gone And all he had were photos of nothing

Words To A Friend
Congratulations! You got: Venus flytrap This means: You are not beautiful. You are ugly. A nuisance to someone else is what you need to survive but you can only **** and devour that which is small. You do not make a difference to humans. However, Venus Flytrap, someone will love you and love and then love you wrong. They will appreciate the drive and theatrics but you are too delicate as you need things other than the problems you're so dedicated too. Once again, congratulations!

What Type Of Plant Are You?
I met a girl with X-ray vision. She found herself quite smart. Yet despite Her fantastic sight She couldn't find my heart. There was an ***** that pumped blood But surely there was something more. So she climbed Into my mind And opened up a door. There she found Things somewhat profound, But they were not of any interest, So she rose And found the words I spoke In the chasms of my lungs. She saw debate and The arguments I fought She saw what I cared about But it was still not what she sought Then she leapt into my hands And saw all that I wrote She tried to find double meaning To the carefully chosen words But there was no leaning Or things of note. So she gave up But began to fall For when asked what I cared about My girl with "X-ray vision" Knew that she didn't know me at all
