American When life tumbles and screams and rains and scorches down down down upon me, I turn to poetry. / When life frolics and laughs and prospers and invites me in, I turn to poetry.
Looked in the mirror knew I was drunk 'cause my face was a pretty one.

Numb
I spent the first few hours of summer lazing with the boy I love.

Another perfect beginning
I can't sleep tonight but I'm dreaming of you and it's 12:51 AM I'm so upset because you're my only safe haven and yet you're so faraway at 12:52 AM my heart is split in half: one half is with you in your bed across town while the other is broken and yet to be found God you don't know how much I love you and even I don't think I can piece it all together but **** do I really have to try now at 12:55 AM? can't I shut down my brain like the rest of the city has already and figure it out when the sun is shining? It's 12:58 AM and the Klonopin is kicking in these words are swirling and I'm fighting it because I need to finish these conscious thoughts of you-- who knows what I'll conjure up when my eyes are closed? all I know is I won't stop loving you not at 1:02 AM or God knows when I'm coming back to you my love though first if you don't mind I'll close my eyes and drift away to Slumberland keep your half of my heart safe in your bed while I'm gone, won't you?

Forgotten Thoughts From 1 a.m.
I had a boy on top of me tonight but not just any boy he's an angel a champion my only hope in the most dreary of days he laid on top of me in the grass with lighting flashing behind his eyes the wind shook the branches around us and this angel carried                me                        away gathered me up in every fold of his heart we drifted towards euphoria-- I swear I'm in love.

These scratches on my arms are just pitiful attempts at even a grasp of sanity The marks left behind are reminders that I'm still living an unbelievably weary existence I would've used a knife or a match but my nails were the closest weapon the most convenient the least likely to draw attention I went too far and now my arms are decorated in long talon scars who knew I'd dig so deep for a little dose of purity?

Guilty Pleasures
Lover I am yours and you are mine and I will love you 'til the end of time but I can no longer deny (I can't deny) I'm diseased, I was conceived under the blood of night. This balcony is cold so can we please go inside? Love, I'm not a fan of this game of seek and hide I see you in the shadows hunting for a soul to sell but Lover, are you not aware that we're already in Hell? I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm screaming out your name I warned you that this balcony was only cold and grey It's got secrets I wish I could scream etched beneath its skin it was the final surface of a jumper, crazed as hell by all his sins. Lover I am yours and you are mine and I will love you 'til the end of time but I'm afraid my time is all used up so with that, my love, I wish you the best of luck.

Hard Realities
Lover I've got a problem You're not kissing my neck gripping my sides You're not letting me succumb myself to the joy laced within your skin cells and God forbid you're not whispering future plans in my ear I can't see you bite your lip I can't hear the small gasps that sneak up from the depths of your throat I can't smell your cologne or your bed sheets or your favorite pillow **It's all so **** far away**

Starry Eyes
I could lay out all of my thoughts on a rusty wire for you: all aligned, waiting to be picked poked prodded examined rummaged through; I could even give you a magnifying glass free of charge to discard the remote possibility that my thoughts aren't what they seem, but what ******* good would that do? I'll be exposed, my thoughts will be torn and hanging with only the remnants of who I believed you were, and who's going to collect the scraps after you've gone? I'll be a thoughtless vegetable, after all.

Shit-for-brains
I can no longer get my point across without sounding desperate.

my poetry is dead
Don't you know you're in love with a sad girl Can't you taste the salt from her tears in the cracks of her lips Do you not understand that she holds you so close because she's paralyzed with fear that you'll drift away like every other good memory The days you aren't there are the days she morphs into an empty shell though even when you're kissing her she's only faking that pretty little smile you now can't live without Don't you know you're in love with a sad girl Can't you see she's in love with you too?
