Some idiots view poetry as just a waste of time, / but honestly I have to say, I think they just can't rhyme. / Besides, I need a so called "healthy way" to clear my mind, / and ya know, singing in the shower won't cut it.
Cross over. She doesnt love you. She hates you. She is cold as your heartache Home. Warmth was a lie and you sigh Fingernails crusted with dirt, dead cells trail down your skin and begin to dig in her eyes are sharp, sweet, soft, swords, hearts Let it all end where it starts

Heartache home
Every step I've ever taken always felt five feet away all the words that they've mistaken don't reflect the things i say I dont think it's that confusing boiled down, it's just a wall if I'm over here not living i won't, they won't hurt at all I could walk in dying places but now I have you to lose if i fall it is a gamble of if you or me will bruise I have made these harsh connections tied myself with rope and chain hoping that with good intentions with my goal there will be gain i won't step into the present I'll keep living in my dreams but your choices will impact me concrete isn't what it seems I may never sink in feelings never touch my life again but your meaning wanders to me just outside i have a friend

you change everything
Whenever cracks run long and deep the one inside says "Let's go sleep" I see her dress brush turns and frames and call to me by all my names. Whenever I bleed deep inside the one down there says "Let's go hide" And so she hides and I will seek until I've numbed the heart I keep.

the one inside
where am i? watching from a sideline. feeling, seeing, stuck inside. surfaces feel harder on your knees. i have looked at you and seen your true face. my unrighteousness lies in this disgrace. pain. it is numbing when alone. and so all my pain i own. it is not for them to see all the failure deep in me. i can rot on my own. i judge. in moments of...unease. and take the things i know and will not let them go. in my judgement hall i stand here i feel the weight of shame as the voices call my name. there's red carpet on the stone and my feet sink as i walk my mouth sewn so i don't talk. for my words will disgust me so i do not dare to speak and it hurts, my knees are weak. i kneel down onto the floor and i keep with me my words as i'm crushed beneath the weight of a special kind of hate. i will not direct it out. i will keep it locked inside. judge it all for it is mine what i know they'll see in time. if i'm wrong that shame is fine.

to love oneself
The claims we have are like chains. A dictation to never walk away. Because we possess and we preserve, and to lose the best is completely absurd. Jealousy is only a symptom of the hands that will not unclasp. It is a side effect that we work past. It is a gentle nudge to not squeeze too tight; readjust the sight, bring what's right to light. The unshaking foundation does not like to be touched it is harmless, we know but it feels like too much. It says "leave me alone" I've been through far too much to risk any small cracks, or leave this loss to luck. But the truth is, it knows that when all the world falls it will still stand upright mortar not chipped at all. We stand tall. Only together will we ever fall.

we cannot be defied
Oppose me. You are hardly brave enough to look me in the eye. Or do you only subconsciously run and hide. Your eyes look with want. And you claim with your mouth and you take with your lips as you pull from their hearts taking long, thirsty sips. You say, you claim you're playing the game. Of "I care." of "I'll always be there." and maybe that's true but what's in it for you? Self sacrifice is esteemed worn with pride. But you? You hide. Keep escape by your side. A facade in the mind wasting everyone's time. You claim that you observe but then you must be blind. Or the parts full of want have control of your mind. There's a network of turns where the bad things appear to be roses and cherries and worlds without fear. But the shades of your passion they glow pink, orange, red. They're not shades you admire those are locked in your head. Vibrant colors of others... you wish you were instead.

i abhor you
My eyes are fixed upon your heart the windows show me only parts. I sit about ten feet away to give you space and prove I'll stay. I do not want to own your soul just stay with you 'til you feel full. And if we sit here for a while perhaps, in thought you'll softly smile.

feuer
Cut me into ribbons. Leave me burned and chopped and charred. 'til the pieces that i build up are left broken, bruised and scarred. I am cautious in your garden that my hands and scent won't touch all the pristine, perfect flowers and the pretty, precious buds. I am not the kind to sully any wondrous word or will. I was born to eat the filth and I was born a shell to fill. I am nothing in your garden but a dog for you to use and if it indeed is needed I will live to be abused.

You're impossible to fathom, I can't pull my mind away. But you're carefree, thoughtless, hopeless. You don't think on what you say. You throw words upon the sidewalk that I walk by every day. They are left for me to pick up careless words that fall my way.

your world
Sinking, falling, start recalling, every whispered word we wrote with coated letters, fetters made of gold. Don't tell me you / wish you / could see. You haven't come two feet near me. I pill pop / peel back / puke up, putrid poison / people / persons? pasty / hasty / wasn't tasty Please just come down here and make me: Cough. Choke. Swallow soap. End it with, "At least we're clean now?" We're not mean now. God, will let us retch in peace now. Mend / what's breaking at the seams now. cough up. choke up. throw up. soap
