And she gently took her chin in her hand and raised it until their eyes met And soft whispers left her lips— I love you. When you can’t see through the darkness, I love you When the stars fill your heart with wonder, I love you Even when the clouds won’t stop pouring, I love you I love you. When winter’s lingering ice burns you, I love you When you’re a ravaging tornado of passion, I love you Even when you can’t get out of bed, I love you I love you. When you miss the good old days, I love you When the world races by at warp speed and you can’t breathe, I love you Even when you can’t— I love you I’m here I love you As you are— yesterday, today, tomorrow… I love you.

As You Are

And she gently took her chin in her hand and raised it until their eyes met And soft whispers left her lips— I love you. When you can’t see through the darkness, I love you When the stars fill your heart with wonder, I love you Even when the clouds won’t stop pouring, I love you I love you. When winter’s lingering ice burns you, I love you When you’re a ravaging tornado of passion, I love you Even when you can’t get out of bed, I love you I love you. When you miss the good old days, I love you When the world races by at warp speed and you can’t breathe, I love you Even when you can’t— I love you I’m here I love you As you are— yesterday, today, tomorrow… I love you.

I crave self destruction I crave bleeding veins And sleepless nights spent in a fit of craze Mascara smeared And fresh white scars Like a flag Betray the heart I crave desperation I crave a hollowed syringe And the feeling in your stomach standing on the edge of a bridge One false move One small slip And there you go Lost to the abyss I crave contamination I crave a stranger’s touch And crave to readily welcome just as much Both in romance and rivalry Biting lips Or clashing fists Teeth sinking into skin Tongues grazing wrists I crave pain I crave adrenaline Knowing the mistress, Danger Making love to her But I can’t seem to find her here So I search in the bottles I search with my knuckles against the walls With metal on my thighs And poisonous, addicting, burning lies I crave And I search And I crave And I search And I climb and climb And ride the high Of flirting with Danger My, oh my But it’s been a while now since she’s flipped my switch ‘Careful, now,’ she whispers And at last I lose my grip

Crave

I crave self destruction I crave bleeding veins And sleepless nights spent in a fit of craze Mascara smeared And fresh white scars Like a flag Betray the heart I crave desperation I crave a hollowed syringe And the feeling in your stomach standing on the edge of a bridge One false move One small slip And there you go Lost to the abyss I crave contamination I crave a stranger’s touch And crave to readily welcome just as much Both in romance and rivalry Biting lips Or clashing fists Teeth sinking into skin Tongues grazing wrists I crave pain I crave adrenaline Knowing the mistress, Danger Making love to her But I can’t seem to find her here So I search in the bottles I search with my knuckles against the walls With metal on my thighs And poisonous, addicting, burning lies I crave And I search And I crave And I search And I climb and climb And ride the high Of flirting with Danger My, oh my But it’s been a while now since she’s flipped my switch ‘Careful, now,’ she whispers And at last I lose my grip

terrestrial minds suffocate in the clouds Logic and Rationale scream out loud consuming the oxygen needed to live and die leaving none for those with galaxies in their eyes. Atmosphere pressures all to conform and crushes all that stray from the norm. These are conditions where land lubbers thrive and star chasers are crippled by society’s vice.

Cowardice grips me tight and guides me in all the wrong directions- like a puppet I go where it wants I flee from Commitment, from Growth and float aimlessly in pools of despair created as a byproduct of Cowardice’s actions there are times where Bravery finds me floating by solemnly, head barley above water- it releases me from my shackles and in those times I remember how to swim I remember how to command my own limbs and I emerge and I stand, to face down Fear but inevitably inevitably Cowardice finds me once more and when I blink the chains return and it pulls me in all the wrong directions leaving me craving Bravery’s warmth just out of reach now, I grasp for it over and over but I- I just can’t reach

I remember it was an ordinary day the sun blanketed our town in warmth and the cool breeze dancing though our hair reminded us of many a time long ago spent together exploring the depths of causal conversation. I remember my heart was content in its throne room next to you, who had carved away my castle walls over six long years. You, who had shown me the joy of opening the doors to new seasons and stepping outside to bask in the glorious sun I became accustomed to. It was a wonderfully ordinary day when you whispered poison into my ear and I remember how the clouds blotted the light away and the world grew colder and your words, like shards of ice, shattered a companionship six years strong and I remember how my bones ached as though I’d aged twenty years in a day as I alone stacked up the stones of my castle walls once more.

I Remember You

I remember it was an ordinary day the sun blanketed our town in warmth and the cool breeze dancing though our hair reminded us of many a time long ago spent together exploring the depths of causal conversation. I remember my heart was content in its throne room next to you, who had carved away my castle walls over six long years.

It was a wonderfully ordinary day when you whispered poison into my ear and I remember how the clouds blotted the light away and the world grew colder and your words, like shards of ice, shattered a companionship six years strong and I remember how my bones ached as though I’d aged twenty years in a day as I alone stacked up the stones of my castle walls once more.

Deep within under the flesh of this vessel beneath the sinew and muscle bone and marrow she stirs. I can feel her and I must coax her out with familiarity. So into the depths I go d o w n d o w n d o w n to find her to find myself oh daughter of smoke and nightmares.
