It wasn’t until
I realized how wilted my petals were
That I accepted the warmth
Of the sun

I try to create an illusion of freedom
just for you
I know it’s not enough
and it’s not fair
but neither am I
So when you perch on my shoulder
tickle my ears with your blue feathers
tweet sweet nothings
I know
I know you hate me
and it’s not enough
and it’s not fair
but neither am I

Smoke coats the bottom of my lungs
to the walls of my throat
to the ceiling of my mind
clouding my resolve
But the heat of the ashes
is the only warmth between my fingers
since your hand left mine

By midnight
the TV screens buzz in unison
black and white specks
crash together
in a fight of dominance
I can’t keep up
my eyes water
It’s too much
I raise the remote
and shatter their dance

Oh no,
Darling mine
Did you think
I’d lay myself bear
pull my ribs apart
present my beating heart
red and warm
upon your return
Oh no,
darling mine
I won't smother you in
butterfly kisses
or
empty endearments
like you once poured
upon my skin
like molten lead
Because now I’m dry
rock hard, stone cold
pure and smooth
in your forgotten love
that’ll I’ll never crack
for you
darling mine

Jessica
What’s in a name
Oh what’s in a name
Teeth ache’n sweet
Oh so sweet
Pure as ****** skin
Oh so pure
They won’t know
Oh no they won’t know
what you’ve done
Oh what have you done?
Pure, sweet girl
Hand me the gun
Oh no they won’t know

Eyes as icy as my heart
Jagged sickles that slice into the pupil
So sharp and defined
They chip away at my barrier
And make me feel whole

Open me up
Rip out my stuffing
Scatter my entrails along the floor
Hide in my thin skin
Seek refuge
I’ll protect you

If you break us
our jagged edges will cut
and sink into your skin
like shards of righteousness
But abide by us
we’ll protect you
hold you in our arms
lay warm hands along your neck
and squeeze

When the moon takes cloak
in an orange robe
I rise up from the ashes
Paint my claws
and sharpen my teeth
When the moon takes cloak
I’ll begin my hunt
