every time i start a poem
What do you have to say, you **** Put it in poetry. If I've shocked you I just want you to know that last tuesday the clerk at the bank shook my hand, because this is art, and I'm not like this when I talk, when I walk, or when I pull words out from the gutter like a street-walker, some loser who screams "It's a defence mechanism, so ******* sue me!" If I saw you in real life I promise you wouldn't recognize me, I'm plain and innoffensive. I wouldn't wake anyone up, open anyone's eyes, so that's what this ******* poem is for. It's your wake up call, so open your  eyes and look for the beauty you'd see if you weren't deaf and blind to it all. This is an ugly ******* poem, but it's meant to be- I want you to look up, look out your window down to a book or down at your hands and see something beautiful, and unlike this ******* poem. I want you to hate this ******* poem, and let you love something that, before, you never knew you could love.

I want you to hate this ******* poem
ah, the sky fell and nothing was left but the stars what resilience; we tore it all down until destruction clung to the air we breathed it in; prophetic dust in our lungs telling us ‘a conclusion is inescapable’

Nuclear Warfare
If the world knew what I knew About the broken heart-disease And how it festered deep inside you, Or if they’d seen you change as I had Caught quick glances of the real you, If they’d watched there be no cure As it became a trust infection, If the world weren’t so sure that you were just an imperfection Then they’d box up their rejection And accept you.

If The World Knew
When I'm older I'll **** with my eyes closed because I don't love my body and I'll let go of you in the morning because you never held me and tomorrow there will be no arms sleeping round my shoulders telling me not to leave I'm young and stupid and I've given up on love. When I'm older I'll **** with my eyes closed and I promise I won't expect you to be there beside me when I wake

expectations
bitter isn't something you taste it's the feeling seeping onto your tongue, the desease that makes you want to shut your eyes and pull the universe by it's threads: twine it around your fingers like a kite and pull, watching it plummet, the magic broken everything unwound

tangible
as intimacy is our lie, would you hold my hand? would you breathe for me? you statue i hold the door closed because i know you stand outside alone, you living statue you real living statue i can hear your lungs fill outside the door (because you do not exist i can pull blood from a stone and if you find me empty, bloodless, you will know) this is the death of ideals; romance only the laughter on our tongues
