22/F/American Just a meat suit
Am I crazy for wanting to crawl out of my skin? This endless craving for violent metamorphism pulsing in my heart My stomach hungry for my own end This body a bloated ****** whale carcass waiting to explode As my skeleton wrestles its achy bones from this cocoon of flesh Discarding the rotten remains of my own prison Even then will I be free?

Restlessness
I am the ghost that haunts our house With a sheet over my head To hide the hole where my heart used to be for you I've framed you for my death To mask my own suicide You're attempts at playing God only bury me further Into this hole of apathy that I've made my bed Laid with narcissus and nettle I've come to put you to rest Come lay your head So I may bury you under the sweet mud of our love

Lazarus of Love
I found God underneath your skin And blood So much blood As I took a butcher knife to your flesh You bared your bones to me ****** faced as I carved my name into your heart You ran away naked You must have left your lungs behind that night And your tongue, hidden in the night stand I found God And he was cold

We haven't spoken since
I stand at the kitchen sink and let the water run scalding. Steam lifting from the dingy metal surface like banner clouds lifting into the early morning sky. I stand at the kitchen sink and scrub the skin on my hands, the water turning to mud in my fingers. I stand at the kitchen sink with a knife to my flesh and pull back the skin that I'm so desperately trying to escape. One by one I tear my nails from their beds. They clink as I drop them into the sink. Standing at the kitchen sink, I watch the brown water turn to blood, red running from the faucet. I dip my hands in boiling bleach. The smell reminds me of home. I stand at the kitchen sink and let the salt run down my face and burn away whatever flesh is left till I am staring at smooth white porcelain. I watch my tears run down the drain and imagine it was me. I sit in front of the sink, craddling my newly baptised sins that were never mine to bare. Nothing will ever wash away the filth

Trying in vain
I ****** in a healthy dose of smoke into my lungs; fire twisted and lovely. Like powder in my eyes. The ash Like sand in an hour glass, filling up my lungs like hunger. Taunting flickering flames with mouths and teeth turn me ragged with age and use. Oh the clock is ticking and the seconds are gone in the flames. The smoke is lost in my hands as the time slips by and the skulls on my door step start talking. Their bones rattle my name and the grave I can see. They are waiting for me. In the smoke and ash and dust of time. The skulls are talking on my door step.

Skulls on my door step
You're skin was like communion And you're lips were like sin As I reveled in every damnation your body could afford me I held tight to you Praying on bent knees for just another moment of this glory But the seconds moved like sand between my teeth And the time was bleed dry from my body Left with nothing but a pillar of salt With you're hymns still floating on my breath

Moments Glory
And it is love's great triumph That in our bones we feel whole The illusion leaves us warm And the impression that spring and summer will never fade In these eternal seasons the blind wonder content in the world Silently fearing the inevitable But in this cycle we exsist With emotions both hungry and primal We crave the lie that we concieve in selfish childhood

a child's craving
My heart my soul keep quaking because I miss you in my bones

Haiku
In the inbetween space Of what I am told to believe and the immense possibilities of this lying life I converse with the devil and the god who are all the same And the room is orange with inkwells in my mind As the birds who do not only challenge me but may not exist How do I know if a room is there when I am not in it What is life but a divine lie While death is a white void How do I know what is real and what is made When the skin boils like meat When humans are indestructible Are we living
