I've fallen empty again as its Monday night and I'm forced into another word battle with my over bearing and under protective ****** flatmates  I don't know if I believed drugs ruined souls until I saw your hearts turn to vicodin art projects and your eyes to steel blades  I thought love was a four letter word with nothing but warmth radiating from its vowels but now I know it to be a cold noun which is to be thrown at me when I'm not wanted in your presence  Straws are for drinking hot coffee but yours are cut in two's and fueling nostrils with more than caffeine could ever hope to achieve  Mary Lambert claims she's touched trees with charred limbs but I'm watching two burn out of control and I know the thing about forest fires is that they don't tend to stop Stop lying that youre trying your hardest to stop competing with caffiene and that your heart will soon again pump clean blood  We both know that lies and pills go hand in hand and soon each hand will be blue and cold and I sincerely hope you love each other because pretending you'll achieve what you can't possibly desire is a lonely way to go

Anywhere Is Better Than Being Home
I love you and i'm sorry i'm always an anxious mess I know i'm kind of your rock so it must be tough to see me like this and i know you'll be mad at me for saying that because i told you once that you're only human and you can't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders but I want you to know that i'm carrying your world on my shoulders so I can make sure its perfect and happy for you so you no longer have to worry about your disgusting step dad or your not there father because you don't deserve these things and it's the only way I know how to make you happy because being only human is stressful I only have a limited amount of years to make sure there's as little bad in your life as humanly possible and I've decided to take that on and since this is the last thing i'm saying to you i'd like to think that even though it might be selfish that I made your world a little better and even if this is the last thing ill say to you I want you to know a little piece of your world will be with me always because 5 years of getting to someones heart is hard to forget and I swear that every time I meet someone new i'll look for a little bit of you in them subconsciously and my mother will seem more evil since you're not there to talk her down to me and my life will continue but almost as if someone made the sky dimmer and lizards will make me sad without you i'll never watch a 3 hour movie again without crying no matter what it is i'm sorry for all the sad stuff but I need you to know because it's better to get it out than to leave you wondering ‘what does he think of me?’ because it could never be anything bad and this is the last time that i'm talking to you but maybe you could think back on my advice through our time together and try to get yourself through things i'm sorry for anything stupid I've ever said or done and I love you more than you could even imagine

snow is dancing outside your window tiny reminders sent from the clouds if you listen close you'll hear them whispering small encouragements to touch your lover as her breath dances on your neck the snow catches your ears its quietly singing warmer warmer as your kisses litter her stomach the snow softly hums along further further as her gasps fill your ears and your name is stuttered sweetly the snow will dully whisper louder louder as her fingernails claw your skin and your back becomes artwork the snow is numbly chanting deftly deftly volatile encouragements from evanescent crystals animate adoring hearts

The Poem With 8,000 Endings
Tell me it’s all a lie I want you to I want you to look me directly in the eyes "We all know you’re lying for attention" my entire life has been a planned story chapter one: birth a baby girl is born a father is angry a mother is in tears my entire life has been their planned story chapter two: childhood a baby girl grows up a father is unhappy and angry a mother is upset and ashamed my entire life was their vision chapter three:bruises an 8 year old girl is crying a father is in an uncontrollable rage a mother is encouraging pain my entire life was forgotten chapter four:drugs a 10 year old girl is shaking a father is strung out and screaming a mother has overdosed 16 years? 16 whole years chapter five: the present a 16 year old boy is in fear a father holds back nothing anymore a mother is too strung out too care I want you to think I lie I want you to think it’s not possible I want you to think it couldn’t happen to me I want you to because I want to believe it

i want a billion stick n pokes that are dedicated in honor of you obscure little markings that you and i will only understand as our lips kiss the tips of beer bottles glyphs that we can only decipher if we first forget our names symbols that show us that you cant take love too seriously i want to forget what balance is and fall for you over and over

I wonder often how my life could be different If my lips wouldn’t have kissed 9 beer bottles Would they have had the courage to touch yours? If my pockets never felt my hands leave Would you have slipped yours in as well? If I wouldn’t have told you how I felt Would you have told me about your feelings? I guess I worry too much about the past I wouldn’t take any of it back Regret nothing and move forward

1/8/14 my hands will shake as i write this mostly because of the nicotine but also because they miss yours my head will spin as i write this mostly because of the nicotine but also because i feel alone lighting a cigarette now has a different meaning am i smoking to ease my pain? am i smoking to ease the loneliness? not anymore cigarettes have become nicotine packed promises im promised to miss you even more im promised to feel it in my head in my hands in my legs in my chest the smoke that escapes my lips is no longer my troubles leaving me im promised to feel worse after this the smoke is like a signature lighting it is almost me writing out a contract the cigarette is a promise i give consent to feeling worse the smoke signs it for me because my hands are trembling

Tremble
Discussing feelings makes me uneasy However I'd rather ***** my love Than purge my hate

Word ***** vs. Skin
I always thought that not being yours was the worst feeling that I could ever experience but now I’ve come across an even emptier feeling I can finally call you mine but almost every single night I’m still alone
