she wants more she has had a taste and needs more of this world this unusual interesting backwards atrocious fantastical world she wants the long skirts she wants the makeup she wants the cropped tops she wants the dollar store makeup she wants the ****** energy drinks she wants the sunset and the sunrise she wants the hill where she told eve what she was she wants the skatepark she wants the summer she wants the winter she wants to end the world and send it off spinning so fast that the oceans slough off and she wants to dance in that barren wasteland. she wants it all. god does not like this. adam was made in gods image and god needs adam to stay like that but adam is missing a rib and god disapproves but who gives a **** and the empty space aches, but it fits her and she is whole

adam's rib
she is pretty in pink a sight to behold a whirling contraption of sparkles and dignity she is perfectly measured, she is fed poised poison, a sickly sweet and a sharp missing rib she has no idea what awaits her in the room where they all go to be gutted and replaced with empty air the delicate, snappable, transparent outline of who used to be there but took up too much space the pretty pink hides the gore the missing rib is still gone and the vicious entrails that follow the body are coated in glitter it can be all pretty and pink and yours

magnetic poetry one
i met an angel in a back alley once . she held out a cigarette for me to take and offered to take me away. i said no " i love life far too much " she told me to let go to let the world flow over you in shades of teal and shining mauve . as you fade into the floral printed wallpaper , you will become more than you ever have as you are remembered less and . less . the angel said that she got her wings this white with bleach and hydrogen peroxide . her antlers are misfitting " stole them from a dead deer on the side of the road " i asked her why she was here what she had to do what her mission was she folded into the shadows and left .

unblessed
the wine sloshes red , the bottle a lighthouse of blood . your teeth are stained with it we used to live deep in the woods , where the trees are tall, and the darkness is taller , and haggard, looming deer roamed the night , but we had each other , and that was enough . throwing stones into the lake when it froze. you loved the sound it made. sitting on the hill outside the hospital wandering the fields after curfew stealing signs and putting stickers on lampposts snowboarding down the hill outside your dads listening to ****** folk-punk making our hideout in the woods playing make-believe running from it all into the trees threatening darkness learning the words for light the dogs outside howl they have eyes like gods but nothing howls back they will starve without food and so will us . we used to live .

down
do you want us to paint pain with sugar and spices , light the candle , pass the flame , no matter if it burns , because you ' d rather ignore the lyrics , and now the candle ' s burn ' t down , and we ' ve been paint ' d with gold , rich with the suffering of millions and the silenced screams , because you refuse to confront the mirr ' r that faces the wall , in the corner of your blindfolded room . aren ' t you proud ? seraph ?

angel ' s promise
i ' ve become something animal , inhuman , climbing waves of disgust , painting myself in mud . a desperate attempt to become undesirable again . nocturnal and alone . you ' re gripping , groping , crawling , stroking , clawing , writhing , the maggots are playing their game again . larvae laughing up my thighs , creep over me , as i attempt to squeeze to ash any form of desire i ' ve left in my broken body

you wake up it feels weird, as if the life is sloughing off of you in pools of broken skin and white waiting rooms the catheter in your arm hurts (you think) (actually, you're not quite sure) (nothing feels anymore) there are bandages on your arms and needles in your shoulder (who took me here) (i didn't want to be) (anything) (anymore) they ask you why you did this they ask you if you were trying to **** yourself (as if they couldn't tell) you get the same depression screener again. you've gotten it hundreds of times already you sleep you wake up watch tv eat a crumb or two of the stale breakfast cereal they had before. get your meds (they don't really work anymore) "wake up" you didn't want to

the day after you try to **** yourself
i wish i wasn't so ******* jealous you deserve better than me why the **** am i having a breakdown because you hung out with someone else it's so ******* selfish and i know you're my friend, and that you claim that nothing in the world could change that, but something could. you're just saying that to make me feel better i know what it is you pity me, don't you? you think i don't see it, how you're constantly too nice but you've never actually liked me you're just nice because you think i'll have no one else without you i don't need you. i can handle everything on my own i don't need anyone wait come back i didn't really mean that
