a basement 16 years old but i feel incredibly washed up
when the wolf spoke the world dropped dead all of the sheep sharpened their teeth and prepared to fight but the wolf cried help instead hunger in his voice not for flesh, but affection he spends his days in solitude god help the sheep who falls in love for the wolf will disappear again

when the wolf spoke
i dont really write anymore just get stuck in old memories and songs sneak cigarettes out on the back porch and sometimes my body bleeds like it did before when youve done things thousands of times youre immune to deja vu it becomes something different something tasteless and numb and at sixteen ive realized my life will only ever be cycles completely out of my control

do with me what you will
i'm being swallowed by guilt and fear and self loathing the burden of lives i haven't even lived i try to escape my thoughts by smoking until my face falls off but i know in 9 days my head will spin and collapse and thinking about introducing myself transforms my insides into cherry blossoms and molten lava social anxiety turns my face into a bouquet of flowers have you felt what its like to walk into a gigantic building you don't know and its full of strangers my face lights on fire and fireworks shoot from my eyes i write ******** nonsense and the people in my life waste their time thinking i'll grow into something better i deserve to feel lonely all the time

i love you more than youll ever know crying on the front lawn thinking of your wrist bone i break again and again inside will you come lay behind my ribs and keep me safe? soothe the ache of heartbreak even though youre right there 7 minutes away the last day i had you was our official one month anniversary how sad is that? i'm a ghost to the world again filled with the guilt of an entire family i wanted so badly to protect you your name feels like lilacs on my tongue and every license plate says 27 i don't want to be gone from you it kills me can you read between the lines? without you i'm paralyzed if i lose you i lose a life

honey waiting
i tried my best but your tears drip like wax on my t shirt i know no matter what i do you stay melancholy and molasses i still let you cry and ruin everything i own i don't know why i don't just try to let you go i'm the happiest person alive when i'm with you

i compare you to a candle and then wonder why you're angry at me
i am a big black hole swallowing up the oceans, moon, and sun if i had drugs i'd use them, doesn't matter what kind if i had alcohol i'd drink myself to death on the first try

a rapid cycle
my eyelids are heavy with fatigue, blinking away oceans is tiring blink and a car horn beeps and the moon bends over backwards and angels ascend from the sky swans swim down rivers and in lakes and in your head just breathe and blink and the world will keep spinning or at least it'll try
