17/F/Rhode Island I breathe art and I write using a flashlight for light at 3am.
I'm not a romantic or the one you like It's not been reiterated And it hasn't for months I'm not a beauty with eligant pearls or nearly five, two I'm not who you want to see I can look right through I don't feel it I'm not your cup of tea So please stop insulting me There's a push as I try to hold you A pull away as I try to take your hand You don't like me like I do you There's a pause and swaying for a month or two You sit in silence when I speak the words You told me all I am is blue Too bad you didn't see the other colors too

Tea for Two
He is confused they whispered with blood dripping from their teeth. Feasting on the things he can't reach so he must starve himself or drown in whiskey and a packs of cigarettes Bathing in the smoke Everything is tasteless He stiffer and cold with numbness to comfort the frostbites nibbling Hanging from his nuise He is just confused they growled

Numb Head
It's almost summers breath Time for you to take a rest Lay down your gentle skin And bare your arms of sin There's a place she goes Where no one else will know Time, time again Have you counted your the cuts on your skin The bruises in your hair It's a better place out there Called it a summers safe Reaching for better lines to say Where is the day in us Is there a truth to learn with a your touch To go fleeting once before you see Waiting for the summer so you can breathe Retreat her to the winter Cause you don't like icicle splinters And It's almost summers breath Time for you to take a rest Lay down your gentle skin And bare your arms of sin There's a better place I know And I'll miss you in the snow Yet bare your arms of sin There's a better place within And many miles you must go To escape this frigid snow See you in the morning See you in mistakes So take your Novocaine To different season Time is leaving Your bleeding Away today Save your coins Pine your rest For the breast Of Summers way

Summer Way
You've got a body covered in chalk Fingers dipped Skin coated Flakes of white Consuming mistakes in black board utensils Swallowed too much powder Stomach churning, feeling sour Now you're bloated Rotating the dial of the phone Neutralize the reaction Feelings of unsatifaction Chug your milk in gallons Before the powder sinks it's tallons Or dump it down the drain

Down Your Drain
Ships lost at sea Sea spray vandalized the decks Her hair will fan her face like a main The women has no breath twas stollen by the sea Floats like a ghost Pale she is indeed Spices sink into the blue Swallowed by the depth Sails are torn, sails are failing Along with stories not spoken The graveyard is the sea

The Storm
Let me say i care, and that i’ll temper your fever For i am here to listen and to linger I’ll linger after high school and as long as I am wanted And if you decide nashville's too far And decide to leave me for your wooden guitar I will sit at the greyhound station Because like i said i’ll linger And if you meet another young blond with a lot of pens but no fancy guitars And who knows she may have pens and guitars And like me she likes the scent of you And if you decide she's pretty inside Then i urge you to kiss her and love her and wish for her like i do for you Because if you love me you surely know i want your happiness to be with you even when you're on the road And maybe i won't be the girl you love Yet we made a promise that we’ll always be friends In the parking lot i held a potted plant in between my thighs and you swore into my eyes who the hell knows we did it before and we can do it again cause i love you deeply and kindly Cause long before you felt my lips, dips and curves you knew when exactly i needed a coffee or a good cry. Because we can dance to a room with no music like we can love without sleeping And we don’t own people Not for a second or even a day They can fly or say goodbye at any moment or time But i decided long long ago a life watching you love another girl would be okay If you remember how much sugar i take in my coffee and how to love me as love you: Truly wanting you to be happy even if it means not being with me Side note: the coffee is good at this greyhound station

Bus Station Coffee Isn’t as Bitter as it Sounds

To the holes in her socks To the mats in her hair To the grease in her pores To the dirt in her nails You don’t know her story nor the stress she may wear Nor her laughter nor smile and silent whisper For all you see is a passing figure For you to laugh at and to snort and snicker So walk to a door that is locked shut and quietly stare to see if she gives a flying ****

Closed Minds
I. Was the embers of the fireplace at eleven fifty four: a time, a measure, a number?, and you couldn't fall into sleeps gripping reach as you got undressed The cold contents of the wooded room Impeding rest soon. Soon you rest. Soon you rest. II. Now you lay me down to sleep. The earth was the eve coloured as dust. The fire on the far side that burned like rust. The flames that painted the rectangle bricks. Softly muttered what song to sing? Black smoke hushed a low simmer. The birch crackled its warm breast for you to lean to. While the silence had adhered to. There is the hush of the cold and the popping of the fire, for you, you had desires of a warm sleep. Two cold feet walk you to warmth in the room. III. Whilst all the others rested in slumber You trusted the coal people burrowing on in they provided warmth for the numb within: And burned away your frostbitten nose. They chewed the pain of your frozen toes. IV. Illuminations swayed with shadow you're exhausted lips had caved For the furrowed light had lighten slumbers way V. The house was finally silent at six past the two, twelve hands You had burrowed in the arms of the people of coal and you had fallen into sleep's gentle hold. VI. By dawn the coal people had gone away The fire twas at at the break of day Charcoal ashes covered your pale skin as the far side fireplace was dimmed Your freckles peaked between the black. Yet now Now you sleep now you sleep, now they lay you down to sleep.

Coal People
Her skin is a peach and light and delectable The bed is positioned far below The man that stands in the shadows Bends to the youth He caresses the youth His hands are soldiers that invaded her country Her home, her property burned by the torch Her eyes are filled with fear And his with dictatorship

Burning Countries
Something about the way they say that they care about you so tenderly. How they tell you they are there for you and you have them. 
 You breathe in their scent and they suckle on the taste of you. 
 You devour each other until there is only the flavor of each other’s personalities on your lips and theirs.
Sometimes the nectar of yourself just isn’t enough
They grow sick of the taste of you. 
 And in turn you grow sickened by your own reflection.
 Because you know that you are filled with such sweet nectar and you have scars branded on you back from your youth and bicycle crashes.
 Whom is to say that’s not enough flavor, 
So how can their sleepy eyed goodbyes and confusion define someone like you.
 Someone who was carved out of red clay and carries pencils like knifes to fend off those nightmares from your childhood.
 Someone who loves with every atom and shatters with every molecule.
 That’s all you’re defined as a molecule, and now you’ve become split. Just like what they did: split
