shame rips at my face the way you ripped at my clothes, it was my choice to be there with you, my voice that tumbled out consent, but even in the moment I felt so far away. It was meaningless, alcohol fueled and arbitary. Is it society or my own ideals that make me feel this way? That one drunken night with you, can undo all my progress and send me spiralling back into this emptiness that I know so well I don't hate you, I dont like you either, is that the point? I hate myself, I hate that I had to scramble from your bed this morning with last nights makeup still muddied on my face, I hate that the reflection in my mirror this morning cant accept who she's become.

One Night Stand
You smile and I feel that thrill And then I feel sick. I can’t like you, I can’t give in, Because you don’t like me back. Is it the attention I find flattering? Is that why I’m drawn so far in? Or is it the curls in your hair? And the silly way you animatedly talk about nothing. It hurts because you love her And because she loves you back But when you smile I feel that thrill, The idea of what might be fills my head and hours are spent on futile dreams and senseless dread

You
You put your hand there, Right around my heart, And wrapped it in string So I would follow you wherever you went. And I did, I followed. I analyzed every glance, Every dimpled half smirk, Every message you ever sent. You pulled me in closer with every word you said, Every almost touch And you held that string so tightly in your hand that I could feel it when it happened, I could feel my heart burst.

Crush
The phyrigian lion couldn’t save me now Nor the man on the moon with all his stars Or the imps that play havoc at night Please hold my hand, hold it tight through this madness and chaos. Because the hatter laughs in my dreams and the mermaids aren’t as they seam With snarling fangs as sharp as the Wolves that pounce through my synapses the phyrigian lion couldn’t save me now Nor all the stars pierced to the inside of my eyelids

Growing up for me hasn’t been about maturing or becoming wise It’s about becoming desensitized And disengaged It’s about losing my idealism and accepting my lot I may have been an emotional wreck when I was teenager But at least I knew how to feel At least then I didn’t give up

Youth
Some kind of day this has become If only I could spontaneously combust, Like a star in the night sky Burning bright in one final blaze of glory Before it’s all gone Spontaneous human combustion, The headline would read. How marvelous that would be.

Spontaneity
I’m falling down again I can feel my bones solidify into stone My body feels heavy once more This time is terrifying I know what’s to come This time I feel like screaming This time I want to run

Relapse
it’s everything and nothing and a brain full of thoughts when the exhaustion’s fills your bones and nothing you can say has any meaning My lips stay shut And my smile is fake And my heart aches and aches and aches

I’m tired
In my dreams I watch a girl be everything she ever wanted to be, When I wake up I know that girl could never be me.

nightmares
I want to run out now, Into the fog that sends shivers up my spine And get lost in the disorienting Swirls and swisps of water, And climb up the ice crystals, Until I reach the clouds Where I’ll lie on my back Under the never ending stars. Until I am ready, To just fall off.
