American alles ist scheisse
I look at other people and I simply miss them, I miss empathizing with others, realizing that other people feel the way I do But I’m different now, I used to be like everyone else with the same opinions and same behavior but it’s changed so suddenly If people knew how I feel, they would all feel the same about me “You should get help” “You should talk to somebody” that’s why I miss them, they’re all the same. They all blend in unnoticeably while I become the attraction at the zoo. I want to be them again.

conformity pt. 1
chiffon tights on her broken knees she clings to dear life but she aims to please she wants nothing more than to be seen but this is her life, sweet Eveline this is the world; this is reality but she's filled her mind with insanity what's coming to her: she always sees death is upon her or so she believes so last night she told me "goodbye my friend" "i'm sorry to say this, but this is the end" i tried to make her stay the night but she ran away, out of my sight

eveline (song in progress)
i'll write a poem for every time i **f e l l** for you i. we were on the phone silence filling the line until you shoveled through and asked me if it was just you or were we both toothily grinning over each other that was a trip on the pavement that resulted in scraped knees ii. once again, i enabled the silence to pervade through us that was until you came out with it **y o u ' r e s a d , a r e n ' t y o u ?** that was a slip off a ladder that resulted in a sprained ankle and wrist iii. i spoke the painstaking truth of fat and not-good-enoughness i spoke of pressure and ugliness and you saw through the flaws as if they were perfectly normal that was a freefall off a cliff that resulted in a comatose state where i had nothing to live off of except your love

falling
there's something magnificently alluring about the way you break my heart how you tell me how much you want to embrace my love until it looks as if it's about to burst and how you want to smash your lips against my cracked lips although you tell me i know deep inside me that you genuinely don't there's just something about it that makes me want you more

something
what is it with you and hurting me? is it the way i hyperventilate that makes you want me? is it the way i lay in bed and sob and sob and sob that makes you want me? is it the way i force sleeping aids down my throat that makes you want me? what is it with you anyways?

patronized
you had already broken me into thousands of pieces you said you missed her and i wanted to flee i went out of harm's way to watch harm influence you and cause you to paint your skin with blood i told myself that you were no longer worthy but oh how i ******* missed you i missed you and wanted you and needed you and yearned for you and so i came back i listened to your voice your oh so persuasive soft clingy needy wonderful voice you spoke my name and i felt myself melting into the wooden floors of my bedroom and slowly i picked up my shattered pieces and glued them back together when you said that you wanted us and not  her

i only began by impulse you took my hand and guided me through your darkest fantasies you begged me to control you to release you and i gladly, frantically, hesitantly did you came undid under the influence of my naughty words and i unraveled myself from you as you rushed through me afterwards i wasn't a toy anymore i became a beauty again i glowed again and we entwined our legs

i remember watching you dance to a generic pop song that was about talking ***** you executed the choreography and you looked like you wanted to be the girl who wanted naughty sweet nothings whispered in her ear as i watched you and saw the masculine sweat dripping down your forehead i realized how dedicated you were to doing everything right even if you didn't want to do it initially i watched and i secretly hoped that you knew the choreography to win me over i hoped you knew all the turns and jumps and lifts and pops and locks that you could easily memorize and when i looked into your eyes you performed it millions of times for me that is why i love you

i want to be able to immediately list everything i can use to describe you once i see you but you appear and i go blank you sweep away the thoughtful dust and the rough dirt you wash away the bacteria and the confusion i forget everything because you yes, you you are standing here in front of me and i am silently waiting around on you to help me see how to describe you i wait and i want and i wait and i want but you don't assist me in knowing exactly who you are i want to know you i want so much from you i'm sorry for similarly being an expectant parent but i want more more and more from you and your mouth, your touch and your words please
