American I've decided to deliberately live.
wont ask you any questions just stick your hands inside my ribs I'll let you hurt me you always do and a house is only as strong as the foundation its built upon and you've gone and done it again

scratch that
She doesn't brush her hair and her eyes are the color of the devils favorite wine. When your with her you lose minutes and hours and forget the concept of time. You call her Lush, a mix of lust and rush. They said she stole everything. You tried to prove her innocent. Hold her in the palms of your hands but the girl born of water and limestone slips through your hands like sand. Your blood clots like cement and any words she speaks is an imprint. You say shes all you know but you don't know anything about her besides that she doesn't like to wear shoes and her mind is always tired from the night before. Disheveled, wild, throwing you on the unfortunate ferris wheel wanting to ruin the nature of a being who only knows nature.

semi-automatic, some would call an addict addicted to fit descriptions of the people inside my brain the people who i want to be, and they wash me with rain and i am thirsty but im not dying so I dont drink the storm but i drink the trying and im not trying im existing consisting patterns on the ceilings and the walls blissfully and kissing my bedsheets another night of setting myself ablaze in my dreamy state, in my hazy daze and my body is warm but the mind is cold and its got no one to hold but its not stable enough to carry a plan and when the wind blows i become the fan and a breezy breezy palm tree on the island always hold my own hand, and its semi-automatic walked info traffic, and dont consider it tragic, consider it magic

I will pack up all my things and leave for the coast. It is cold in my mind and I am old and used and I realize I'm not wanted. The newer things in life replace, as does each and every day, and all the things I've grown to love are a six sided pair of dice, both snake eyes. Out of all the things we did, I miss laughing with you the most.

Coastile
My mothers friend gave her a gift when I had yet to understand what life was like outside, a tiny prism set upon the top of a bookshelf against a small window, and when the sun would start to set it would cast beautiful rainbows against the walls. And it would cast beautiful rainbows against the walls of my insides, making me get a taste of the outside. The prism was prison bars. Four by six in the pocket of my mother as I got older. And she held me and closed the shudders of my mind and I called her smother. Somedays the prism was reflections of the outside world reflecting on me, some days I was the prism taking in the outside world that I perceived.

The prism girl
Fairbanks Alaska Was harsh and cold and was Not as fair as it was originally thought. A rifle too small for big game And Galliens shoes two sizes too big on Chris’s feet He set off for his last adventure Hiked towards Stampede trail through the wind and ice With nothing but a grin on his face and his ten pound bag of rice

there is a color for every iris a pattern for every fabric a cloud for every sky a way out of every labyrinth two hands for every handshake A grandmother for every warm apple pie there is someone out there for everyone everyone but me

there is
dark and poised like the violet bruises on my hips haven't eaten in days haven't slept since walked around early in the morning around seven forgot who I was for awhile I threw on a yellow sweat shirt this morning a friend once said to me; "Blondes can't wear yellow, it washes them out." so I've never worn this sweater before but I put it on and decided maybe I wanted to be washed out washed out like my friends and washed out because of drugs and washed out because of depression so i stumbled across gravel and saw a yellow dandelion growing in-between the side walk cracks and I held open a door for a women who paused and said "your sweater matches your hair, how beautiful." and my eyes started to pour like rain in February

Dealing with depression and the color yellow.
Please forget about me Do not worry Do not worry I often tell myself these things These things I am happy Can't you just leave me alone Do not worry Do not worry Head vs. heart is a cynical concept It's all okay let's just forget about it

Yeah.
I set myself on fire and you watched me burn to ashes among the ashes you searched for something to care about and you found absolutely nothing I couldn't burn your hands or your mind I couldn't leave the time frames I remember in your mind This volcano I had felt was surely a mountain in your palms because you never washed your hands after sorting through me so when your lovers hold your hands their palms will turn black but you won't notice this because you saw absolutely nothing never come back never come back for one final goodbye I am no longer a fire there is no more wood to keep me alive I am only ashes and no matter what angle you look at me you will always see absolutely nothing
