The password we always use
The recurring dream
our favorite type of abuse
our self-esteem
What we are hungry for at midnight
What we feel bad about taking
whose hands we hold too tight
whose heart we are breaking

i am gradually
starting to lose feeling in my toes.
Is this how people begin to die?
slowly at first then all at once.

Sometimes if you stand really still you can see we're all losing our grip on the world.
death by death
see where the line between human and ghost begins; human flesh turns into dead ice cold skin.
cut by cut
see when they become so light that gravity cannot hold them down.
earth to earth
and they drift away, weightness since they have no hope to weigh them down.
dust to dust

round and round we go
through the relentless flow
life's so fast it gives me vertigo.
and if I'm just a tiny particle
why can I feel my soul
being devoured by a black hole.

melting into mush
the ice cream cone
a party hat
crushed
ants
begin to gather
small black sprinkles or bugs?
how quickly the treat is forgotten
abandoned for scavengers
and the shoes of passer-byers
to oblivious to change their path

my parents came to check on me
i quickly shut the lights
turned off the TV
everything was black so they knew I was alright
my parents came to check on me
i threw the bottles in the trash
took out the bags
everything was empty so they knew I was alright
my parents came to check on me
i did all my homework
smiled happily
everything was normal so they knew I was alright
my parents came to check on me
i should have told them that
my life is gray and
everything is not alright

infinity: a blessing or a curse
endless endings except
you must go on
thirst
water to satisfy it
you will always have it

You love like a noose
I'm on firm ground
and then suddenly I'm falling.
Only you can catch me
and when you do it takes my breath away.
My last minutes spent
in your too tight embrace.

every night i hear my brother's tortured cries in his sleep
every day i watch my sister as she pretends to eat
sometimes i wonder is everyone like this down deep
sometimes i wish i didn't have to keep pressing repeat

our parents tell us to believe in broken things
like unicorns and wishes on shooting stars
why do they fill the world with magic
now I cannot stop looking
