I looked over at the hooded figure beside me, strolling through the drizzle of early autumn, and felt like I was seeing a stranger - the months of familiarization dissolved with the veil of clouds. It disquieted me, until I stopped the stranger and buried my hands in their dark hair and delved my tongue into the warmth of their mouth and tasted something very familiar; home.

Have you ever seen someone that was so magnetic, so different from what you knew they were an anomaly to your brain? So electric you could feel a buzz humming over your skin when you got near them? Did it catch you off guard? Did you stare? Did you bite your lip and taste the metallic earthy taste of lightning on your tongue that they left in the atmosphere? Did their presence catch in your throat and you swallowed and glimpsed something you always wanted to exist but never knew could?
Did they have honey glazed eyes and did they destroy your future and rebuild it around themselves in the lapse between your next breath? Did you know you were doomed to always taste them in every cup of coffee and feel them in every storm?
Did you already wish it would never end?

Wintergreen kisses like snow melting under my tongue
and coffee stained lips full of softly paced bliss
I lost a love
but I found a new way to survive
she left a hole
but your hands revived my lungs
stitched up the broken bones and the hollowed heartbeat metronome of a solace tone
I look for sweet release
look for relief in empty bottles and piano keys
in haunted old harmonies
your fingers brought great release
spun solace into sheer laced bedrooms empty of day
faded gray clouds into melting sunsets at the end of dawn
I dawned unto you light of seven sins
of seven loves
and of seven lips locked in forever embrace of lust

there are days
where I just sit and wait
and this is what I make
of all the scenes
of all the things
that sit inside of me
I've never loved
anything but
the impulse of my soul
and like Chopin
I just use my hands to cope
because I can feel myself choke
and no one knows
that nobody cares
and it's all in fear
I see images and they shake me
I hear melodies and they haunt me
but sometime in space
I feel ethereal
and I slip away

there's weeds winding up her wrists
and the vines of ivy have grown high,
high up her thighs
where black and cream mingle
not sweet enough for envyline
there's a ghost in her bed
and she made friends
with the spirit of her moon sister
pay no mind to her
bitter envyline is just
what a little to take
a little too much
simply just stardust
in her galaxy of eyes
between her thighs
she's been tarnished
daddy's baby, dollface, honey
getting around with no money
collecting hearts like butterflies
tear off the wings
save them in a jar
sow them together again
her cherry pies
like those cosmic eyes
draw you in with a little tornado
a little spark of volcano
before she melts beneath you
daddy can taste it on her tongue
she's been seeing someone

Skeletal remains
On a grave
In the dust of snow
Where no flowers grow
And love knows no one
A town of abandonment
People forsaken
Give me a wedding ring
Wrapped in a coffin
My flesh is white snow
my bones are dead tree limbs
my blood is warm red wine.
My heart is in danger
From a stranger with a pretty face.
My heart is hanging from a noose.
Then you cut me loose.
I am a suicide bomb.
Counting down all night long.
My heart is astray.
Her eyes look manic and there's no hiding.
She'll detonate.
And rip my veins away.

it's not you
it's not you
i'm not sorry.
cotton candy kisses
valentine candies
forgive me not
poison chocolates
forget me not
this bloodlust is driving me crazy
maybe I'll be a ****** baby
velvet and blood
and creamy lace and pink guts
bitter coffee and venom laced lips
and hesitant sips
nightshade tea and pills of three
flirting with death
and stealing my breath
this murderlust is driving me mad
I'm intoxicated and I'm high
I'm in love and I'm bad
belladonna coffee in threes
mentholated cigarettes and
forgive me not
'cause I'm not
oh honey, it's all regrets
it's not me
it's not me
I'm not sorry.

I know we've had a rough past
and you've never been very good to me
but I hope this year is different
because I used you as a crutch in July
my oh my, don't let me down
the ocean is waiting
baby September, be good to me.
please ♥

you tasted sweet
honey and clover
(over and over)
like breezy car rides in the summer
i was high
you felt divine
but you your taste turned bitter
in the death of a summer
in the birth of winter
you turned back to black
you tasted like staggering hell
crushed under your spell
crimson and *****
(over and over)
but i still love you
and i always do
'cause you still remind me of honey and clover
(over and over)
and i still want you
more than i even did when you were sober
but i almost quiver
i feel like you shiver
(away away)
i almost think
you're holding back from me
i feel your shadow in the back of my thoughts
you haunt me up
(up and up)
but please, still, come on over
give me a kiss of that honey and clover
(over and over)
tell me you love me
(over and over)
