Death and other deities Tip toe across my bedroom Awake or asleep they still take my dreams Hold them in one hand and open the other Spilling the sorrows of the world Onto my body Slipping nightmares into my bedtime tea And promises of nothingness under my sheets

Visitors at midnight
I'm withered. I feel depleted in my guts. Robbed of something that was supposed to be a part of me Oxygen deprivation upon waking even though it's with gasps i rise from the pillows. I feel grief unmatched. Nails claw at the skin covering my chest. I've been told they hurt but i cant feel them. I only feel compressed. Short on everything. Answers. Solutions. Hope. Short on everything but love. So i lay back down, falling onto the spaces youd be in a different life. I'll let the whispers of possibilities carry me over into my dreams where you'll be mine. I wake up again. I wither in the absence.

Universal pain
I wish I could take back what I gave you for Christmas I wish instead of a calendar for you to mark your days on I had given you all my skin to carve your name on And I wish instead of a CD with songs I already memorized You had given me your voice with words I wouldn't recognize

Yankee swap
You said that the last 6 girls you dated chain smoked in winter But I just wanna chain smoke your laugh in the spring Ill probably be back on the nicotine by summer And by the fall, only memories of the smoke will sting

Awkward
I'm the kind of girl that crawls into a serial killer's bed he whispers "I'm going to **** you when this is over" I blush But am flushed and confounded when I wake up dead "But I thought what we had was special!"

alright, alright, alright
I lay on your bed in an imprint that isn't mine Left there from the last girl that you found yourself inside Kick away her ******* that are the color of you And pretend that I'm something new Killer eyes, foggy lies straight from my nightmares You'd never guess that I relish in every scare Grab me by the throat and silence my screams Rip apart my resolve with your teeth Self-delusions are grand but not as bold as the truth It's screaming at me from my friend's mouths, pouring out of you I know I'll never be able to take care of you Because that's not what wicked girls do I'm so colorblind but I see red so very well Want to rip into your heart just to see it pool and swell But when you entered me I saw another hue And now I see that I'm red, but you'll always be blue

Blue Phase
We saw the real light of happiness as children And as adults we chased impostors Worshiping false idols we thought we knew But we wasted our time chasing street lamps Fireworks, lighting bolts, fireflies Mistakenly believing it was the radiance from our half-remembered dreams Not realizing that the candle had been blown out years ago

My innocence is wrapped in your arms
I let him break into me The next day I thought my lips had broken, I thought my innocence had burst into flames, But still, he is in my thoughts. I think about how it all changed that afternoon, That ruined, Summer Afternoon. My soft skin aches, When I think of my Parasite Lover, That Destroyer and I.

Not even sure this makes sense
Everything is blue, his pills, his hands, his jeans. And now I'm covered in the colors Pull apart at the seams. And it's blue. Everything is grey, his hair, his smoke, his dreams. And now he's so devoid of color, he don't know what it means. and it's blue

Colors for the Colorblind
I'm supposed to say happy fathers day With hallmark emotion But all i feel is is the abandonment Of what you made You threw us away Knowing the cost Choosing ***** and ****** Over what you made I can’t miss what I never had Can’t know what it’s like to have a dad When all you ever been is a lie When all you’ve given is a tragedy To your groups To gain sympathy When i’m the one with haunted minds And you’re the the one on constant highs An artificial family The love you feel is merely an echo Forged from narcissism and ************ Of the heart you lost years ago
