Truth
I could never risk Pouring myself Into hands that couldn’t hold me But here I am Spilling out of my cup Hoping that you can catch me With the holes of your heart

Unrequited
You let me fall so easily Into the little space between your arm and chest You knew that I was drunk Intoxicated by the music, the dancing, the ***** and you My lips brushed against your cheek My fingers traced your lips Then my lips replaced my fingers I was too drunk to realize Until I pulled away You pulled me back in Passionate, passion I've yearned for Passion I had never received Now as reality displaces fantasy I know that I was just another girl A convenient option, a pit stop That you periodically stop in When did I become like this?

Saturday Night
Can you come a little closer? Let me undress your wounds And let your wounds bleed and bleed Let me help you find some release I know you’re not used to Letting others sit in your cult of pain But I feel your pain too Please let me feel it with you Don’t push your pain to the shadow of your mind Embrace it, reveal it, you deserve to feel it Please stop smiling with your misty eyes Please don’t cover your wounds with bandaid lies

Let me
You call me beautiful like it's my name Play with my hair, twisting it around your fingers Kissing my soul, but never my lips You draw me in like magnets Priming me until my skin is raw, until my heart is vulnerable And then you strike Shredding the idea of what could've been With your razor-sharp tongue Setting my soul on fire Burning me down, and you won't let me out Please just let me out If this is what your love is I don't know if I want it But call me beautiful one more time And I'll fall at your feet

love/hate
He loves me, he loves me not Since when were those two things Mutually exclusive? To me it seems you both love and hate me Sweet sweet honey drips from your fangs As you drain me, why do you drain me There was a time where I would believe That I was the one to blame When you stuck a blade in my gut But look where I have come now To know that I deserve consistency And passion and respect and love To know that I deserve more Than you could ever offer me

Consistently Inconsistent
The clock breaks my heart beat Into hours, minutes, seconds It reminds me to breathe Let my heart beat One, two, three Just make it through the next sixty seconds Through the next sixty minutes Through the entire day Four, five, six Until you're in your bed Staring at the ceiling Breathing, breathing You made it through the day But how do you make it through the night?

Tick Tock
I love the way your lashes are laced in tears That are just barely hanging on That are just about to fall Please just let them Please

Cry (edited)
Once a month my body bleeds My body aches, my body grieves The pain makes it hard to breathe The pain is immobilizing But I can’t complain anymore Because now my moms body no longer bleeds But her heart aches, her heart grieves Her pain makes it hard to breathe The pain is immobilizing I still can create a life inside of me I am cancer free My mom wasn’t so lucky... But mom can I tell you please? It doesn’t make you less womanly You haven’t lost your identity You still had the power to create me You can ache and you can grieve Even though you feel like you lost a part of yourself You’ll never lose me

Cancer - October 9, 2018
A growing pain takes over slowly Squeezing the breaths out of me Heart racing faster, my head is spinning Everything else has lost its meaning Now it’s only you, the ghosts of your hand Gripping my heart till I can’t stand Scaling my body, touching me slowly I forget your hands have never known me I forget that you weren’t ever mine But I spent my days looking for signs That maybe you loved me even just a bit And honestly, I even thought you did I was convinced you did but wasn’t sure of it yet That we had a connenction from the moment we met But I forget that you were always somebody else’s And I realized that it was not you, but I who felt the connection Yet I can’t help but hold on to the last stage of hope That maybe you only said you loved her just for show Maybe you say it because you feel it’s your duty Maybe you don’t really love her and instead love me But I’m tired of holding on to hope worthlessly I’m tired of waiting for you to love me Because I don’t want to be second choice not just an option I’m not a pit stop where you can periodically stop in I’m a woman, a storm, a chaotic mess The ocean, the skies contained in a dress And the hands that will take place of your ghost in me Will not grip my heart but help it beat
