American I don't sleep, so I write.
I have given fair warning Fires and floods and earthquakeing rage under the impending tsunami my battle cry The stampeding hooves of my heartbeat render you unfit to stand the ground you say you own Hyenas laugh maniacally behind my teeth and the monsters of the deep, the deep, the deep Surface to become my living island I have given fair warning Your walls cannot hold Your blades cannot pierce Your lies will hang abandoned spiderweb in the corners and I will use the fire of my truths to burn them from existence I am the web spinner now I build the world Catch you in my weaves Succubus Leave you dry I have given fair warning

How many times will I stumble before I learn where to place my feet? How many "I love you"s will I mumble before you finally hear me? How many years will waste on you, not getting what I want? How many tears will follow nights of lust and the memories that haunt? How many times will you tell me you don't know how you feel? How many dimes will I throw to fountains just wishing it was real? How many other girls have fallen for you only to find themselves alone? How many worlds have you promised them then left them without a home? All I want is honesty. If you don't love me, please, just say. You're draining the life and love from me. No one is making you stay.

Counting on You
If you've ever been the "other woman," Or if you've been the lying man, Lean in and listen closely, Cause this is one you'll understand. When love has lost its luster and its muster and it's might, But you just can't leave because you "love" her, And the ******* is better and wetter after fights. When you daydream about escaping to a place so far away That you can't hear her voice or see her face or remember her name, I'll be there with a ticket, all you have to do is ask. It's a release from your conventional bonds. It's fun. It's free. It's fast. It's a vacation to your paradise with a pair of legs and a pair of eyes That open up for only you. And you'll eat it up and spit it out like cheating men tend to do. So don't give me those sad, "I've ****** up" eyes and that sad puppy dog face. You wanted it. You LOVED it. And you want more. This is me putting you in your place. You can call me the devil because I make you want to sin. But every time I come knocking, you can't help but let me in. I would never hurt a fellow woman. I prove that by keeping "us" to myself. But it's time to pull your head out of your *** And decide if I'll just sit here on your shelf Waiting for you to fail again, to make another great mistake Or if you'll nut up, shut up, tell her the truth and finally walk away.

Sincerely, The ***** Mistress
At first, I saw only her bare feet: A bird on one, a ring of silver on the other. Move up, her ankles, twitching to a beat, A song my ears longed to discover. Her calves were pale and bruised but strong. Her knees were scarred by living in motion. Her thighs, so inviting, so smooth, so long. Her hips rocked like the wave of a calm ocean. Imagining my fingers tracing her waist, Slim but soft, Oh, it must be so warm. The beat of my heart rose til it raced When I reached her small ******* to secrecy sworn. Her shoulders a garden of a single rose, And thousands of freckles: sprawled chickory Were by the sun that day specially chose To take my breath and put me on my knees. Her arms were built to hold all in the world. Her hands to touch the life of each she meets, And as they rose and within her short hair twirled, For the first time, her face I would see. A mouth of pink to compliment rosy cheeks, A button nose fit for a child's doll, A small gap between her front, straight white teeth Formed a smile that could have caused Rome to fall. But her eyes, how they shone under their frames. The blue, green and gold of sunken treasure. Behind them danced sadness, strength and pain Mixed with happiness and passion that had no measure. Her eyes met mine and all at once, I froze. She smiled and God must have smiled, too, above. She came to me and from my spot I rose. She grinned "Hello" and then I fell in love.

Love Poem To Myself
I want someone to fall in love with me tonight. I am talking love at first sight. I want someone to look at me and think, "This might be the one... And, Hell! she seems fun." Although I might look kinda dumb, I promise I'll try And I want them to notice the color of my eyes And the bird on my foot and the rose on my shoulder And the lump in my throat that's the size of a boulder And I want them to smile when they see what's happening And I've been waiting a while while my love life's been napping But I'm ready to wake up and take up a man Who's ready to be with a girl who can't tan But I'll freckle and burn And I'm always concerned With whose turn it is to be the big spoon... And please speak up soon. Cause, though I do well alone, I kind of need someone to call home And to laugh at my jokes And not be hurt when I choke When you tell me you love me Because I still can't believe that you're so far above me! Like the king of the world With the invisible girl. So thanks in advance for making me seen And proving that I mean something to someone... That I mean anything. And won't it be funny when people ask how we met? And you'll recall how you set In a shop drinking tea And then you saw little old me; The Queen of Naive, Issuing a plea And wishing for love and hoping for luck As I loosed Cupid's arrow and prayed that it stuck! And they'll ask how you knew That for me it was true... And you'll look in my eyes, Still drenched with surprise And drunken with hope that you'd recognize That it was no accident that we met that night. Because I made you believe in love at first sight.

Falling In Love In A Coffee Shop*

I have a super power. I've always known i was different, cause when you see me from a distance, I stand out in and instant, so people can tell, that's the girl... who doesn't belong. She's the one who just looks kinda wrong. But, Hell!, I got along and stayed strong. Because I have a superpower. Well what is it?! You should ask... But you don't and you won't... you just pass. As, never to be harassed, I sit calm in the grass and cultivate my super power. At first I thought mind reading, but a new kind, where people start bleeding from their mouth what's on their brain as soon as they catch a whiff of my "tell-me-your-story" vibe. But then people lied and, though i took it in stride, inside I cried as my supposed power died. Then I thought invisibility, or maybe ambiguity, because I stood fast like a tree, always there, always to be, but never really seen. But then I hid and when I did, someone... the one found me. So my second supposed superhuman feat faded happily. But time passed and hearts cracked and stones hit the back of my head so I fled... I can still feel the way that I bled when I said goodbye and he just nodded his head in reply. And the other day, I identified my true super-power. I can't read your mind. But I can avoid it. And I'm not hard to find, just to hold in a thought. You won't ever think of me because my power won't let it be. I'll stay far from your psyche for eternity. I'll dodge. I'll hide. I'll bob and weave because my power is making sure no one ever thinks of me.

Everybody knows life is easy for a pretty girl with white skin. Everybody knows life is easy for a pretty girl with white skin Coated to the brim With makeup because she just can't find the right mask That will allow her face to collapse So her "friends" won't ever ask "Are you okay?" Because she's not. And she. is. HOT. But she's been bothered By the hands of her father Who swore to protect her But then disappeared and Let her get taken to her knees begging Please... please... please put the knife away, baby. I swear I'll stay. You're hurting me! What did I say? No. She said no when he told her to strip Because the thought made her sick And he answered with a hit to her pretty white face. ***** Learn your place. Nobody knows what to do with a girl with bruises on her pretty white skin. Nobody knows what to do with a girl with bruises on her pretty white skin. Cuts on her lips that crack and bleed when she grins. No makeup, No hiding, No faking, She's done fighting. No more friends so she's dying. She writes her will but she's crying So the paper is bent like her back to the sharp wind that whips her into submission. Is this the world's mission?! SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE **** UP!! She could just step in front of that truck. Let them win. Don't let them win. Hear the strangers whisper, "Don't trust the pretty girl with white skin."

Maskless
You won't love me 'til you're lonely You won't see me 'til you know You won't know me 'til you're ready You won't be ready 'til you grow In the daylight I am open Floating light and free and true Chasing after your shadows Just to get closer to you But when the sun's descended And your shadow is no more I'm down on my hands and knees Groping and the frigid floor I'm reaching out to touch you Though you don't know I'm around So I'll just wait until your ready And caress your shadow from the ground

I don't want to fall asleep because I know I'll dream of you. I'll dream of words I want you to say and things I want to do. My subconscious will cease to censor all my thoughts deep down within, And my wants and lusts and cravings will resurface once again. I don't want to close my eyes because of the guilt I'll feel upon Awakening from unholy dreams and returning to the dawn. I don't want to feel your touch, so raw, so real, intense, 'Cause I woke from it some months ago and lusted for it sense. The first time that I dreamt of you, teasing me so well... Lips against my neck, fingertips floating at my hips: the moment that I fell. Reality is so cruel now that I've fake-felt your flesh on mine, Because in my dreams we writhe and flex, our bodies intertwined. So I don't want to fall asleep. I don't want to have those dreams. For when I wake, I'm still untouched in lonesome reality.

Unholy Dreams
Every time you look at me I feel another layer of skin peel away And I know it's only a matter of time Until your eyes So deep and blue - I'm drowning - So wise So knowing So curious Begin to peel back the muscle, too Until I'm naught but bone My clothes that I layer on in fear Are worthless Futile You've seen past my facade and now I've nowhere to hide And I do so wish I could hide You scare me with what you know You scare me more with what you don't Which is little But I don't know what you feel! Do you feel? You've seen past my walls And my clothes And my skin And my muscle And my bones So you can see my soul But what do you see? My naked body can only be seen By he who has already fallen in love with my naked soul But you've claimed it all My everything is out in front of you And in this dim light I search your face for some emotion A sign that you DO feel something Anything For this body For this mind For this person you've so meticulously picked apart But as your eyes finally meet mine All I see is boredom So you turn and slowly leave Me And now I'm left here Still drowning So naked and vulnerable That I cannot move To cover myself back up.
