Your lips are not the cure to this doubt, though I am assured by your vehemence and the way you look at me when I ask what this all means to you. Your lips are not the cure to this doubt, yet I’ve begun to believe you; Tomorrow you may burn your roots and bridges, but the time we have spent will mean “something”. This I know, though your lips are no cure for this doubt.

Doubt
tranquil pain holds this facade pinioned to a past that never was. when i awoke this morning were you there? or were you gone living your life without me

Later, I'd swear that the empty bottles and the smell of smoke had rotted my clothing away I think I may have tried scrubbing myself with dirt; i found blood on my hands and my feet the next morning sweat was everywhere in my eyes the only thing that made the stench go away was soaking myself in perfume until my skin pruned and i couldent breathe no sleep, no heatbeat here in this body who needs breath who needs love, after all break the mirror, replace your artificial beauty scream "wantmeneedme saveme" watch them want  you.throw out your artificial hope. replace your broken records now start to play them all again

Aftershock
I know enough to know I could never hold on to you, so pull me close, let me live in this moment; let me pretend that tomorrow you'll love me

Substitution for love
"Kiss me." you said, even though you don't love me, and I? I loved you but then again, that's over now. Now the only thing left of the past seems to be you here in front of me. "Kiss you?" You nod, and grin. But I know you're afraid of love. So don't hurt me, you fool.

Intentions
the drinking, the fighting, all the subtle ways i try to **** myself, a little at a time; i'd give them all up if you loved me.

Darling, you were nothing but the drug that I’d been looking for. I shot your poison through my bloodstream and bled my love out through my wrists. when i looked up at you and smiled I didnt "Want a one nighter (?)" When you woke up the next morning, what made you stay? What made you think that you could fix a broken thing like me?

******
Some days I can’t decide whether to be a modern day poet or not. Sometimes I wake up thinking “butterflies.”, And I decide that maybe I’d like to be an accountant instead, forcing number after number into some poor overstuffed calculator all day. I’d be the talk of the office, “Have you seen that ****** over in cell #2?”, “The one who just sits there looking at her calculator all day?”, “Yes! She just sits around muttering ‘When’s it going to explode? When’s it going to explode’?” Then some other poor sucker’s calculator would explode and he’d be horribly scarred, and they’d all realize that I was sane after all. But of course by then I’d be off in some horrible asylum by then, having my frontal lobe chopped off. So maybe I wouldn’t make a good accountant. There’s no money in poetry though, that’s my problem, you see? If I could sit around typing lyrical nonsense all day and actually be paid for it, well that’d be cool. However if that ever did happen, chances are I’d be off in some distance land universe writing the holy bible for a bunch of seven fingered goats or something. I don’t like goats. Back to butterflies? No… I have nothing to say about those either. The truth is, although I’d love to be one of the inspiring people who goes around raving about the evils of money, im more liky to be the one chasing after the guy giving that lecture yelling, “WELL IF YOU DON’T WANT IT, THEN GIVE IT TO ME!” And then I’d store it in some dark corner in my bedroom as I lay on my bed and wrote until I passed out from some disease called life that you can’t put off living just to write in that little hidey-hole in your mind.

Chocolate rabbits from hell My feet hurt from stepping On chocolate eggs And I have to look at my mom As she watches me Push the basket of chocolate aside as i sit down for breakfast and I have to ignore the two brats beside me gorging themselves on little round pieces of fat. I remember last year Jelly beans, crème eggs, All that **** that I now refuse to cram in my mouth; Im not adding to the reserves of pudge on my hips/thighs/arms/stomache inside and outside everyday i bloat mirrors **** I can hear sloshing in their stomaches As they stand Hockey practice, hockey practice They’re carried off by chauffers, My parents For the rest of the day Ill be alone Last year that would have meant A choco-fest, and I miss it a bit As the hunger that no one will notice begins to set in
