40/F/Massachusetts I'm no poet. I just write stuff a few people like, and that's on a good day. I would go on about how this is all my own work, so don't steal it, but who would want to? Thank you for visiting.
A spotlight on an empty dance floor A sunrise no one sees anymore Lonely stars, once worshipped, ignored Even the universe renders us bored Can't see life with our chins on our chests Swiping away days we should have kept Always more more more, yet still feel bereft We trade humanity for vanity not realizing it's theft

Are we human
I got you an apartment so you didn't have to dwell in your dungeon anymore Thing is I can't get you to come to it You can't see past the laundry to the door You'll just perch on the edge of your bed and stare a hole through the wall Trying to breathe fresh air, but all you can breathe is the loss of it all That lack of oxygen for 4 minutes changed the world and there's no changing it You'll never be who you were That's a truth we must admit I was hoping I could find a distraction for you I was hoping I could rescue you and me too I beg you to see past the laundry, but all you see is a door you can't get through

Love's hounds are hunting in the night They move in shadow and moonlight They're coming for me I see them through the trees And I can't muster the fight To resist To be kissed To be revered or not missed Love's hounds will find me I try to escape They persist They'll devour my flesh My heart, their next dish They found me Surround me But then the scale tips I'm already scraps Who wants this Love's hounds had their fill And disappear in the mist

Love Hounds
Let's fight over dirt about what's underground Let's work on bombing hospitals so we can play a few rounds Let's ****** one thousand children just to take out one Let's liberate the people by sneaking them under our thumb Let's make the world better after we purposely made it worse Let's spread the good word using an orange hearse Let's die for Isreal so Jesus can come back down (Who's gonna tell Hegseth that he's poor and brown) Let's use hideous creations to decimate beautiful things We can rebuild civilization on top of dead human beings Let's start a war for peace so the oil tycoons get rich Just send the poor to die for money and **** two birds with one whip

Let's...
I went to a rally all by myself I didn't leave early Hoping I'd meet someone else Someone to talk to Sometimes to laugh Most times to cry We'd sing about how we'd rather die screaming than have a Mad King It's only in herds that I feel so alone She illuminated my soul Without leaving her comfort zone Sometimes I can be funny Most times I'm just morose Although she could out run me We'd be forever close We could laugh And we would cry We'd sing about how we'd rather die fighting than have a Mad King I went to a rally and I left all by myself I took out all my anger as I screamed with no one else So by myself So by myself A crowd of hundreds and I am still all by myself

All by myself
My heart is no ashtray It's more like an urn It holds on to what matters Long after it burns

I loved you the moment we met Your imperfections made me forget about my glaring flaws that you never saw and still have chose not to see yet

Your imperfections are perfect
Gatekeepers Dream Makers Love givers Dream takers Write something Get 30 views Maybe steal one like or two Next paper tiger gets 90 views It's no fire Yet it burns you The highs and lows that come with writing poetry I suppose it's what I get for exposing parts of me No wonder I quit Instead of sticking with it No confidence No coincidence Self-hatred Self-gated Never let strangers inside your head They've no idea how you made your bed And it seems they don't get it no matter what's said Just put away the pen And stay comfy instead

Paper tiger
I'll take asking price Simply make an offer Just came on the market Sometimes I'm near the water My hearth is cracked and cold Just needs a little spackle My windows are quite old But I bet you'd make em sparkle Hardwood's a tad worn out The attic's full of bats The stairs only go south So there's no turning back Once you pass my threshold You realize you can't leave As my aches take ahold You appreciate for me My creaky pipes Your sleepless nights My unkempt lawn Your neighbors' blight They don't know Your chronic fight Trapped in the basement Searching for light Yes, I'm prime real estate Simply make an offer Enslaved for 30 years Left with an empty coffer

I Own You
I have your voodoo doll You must have mine Every little jab Felt at the same time You wake up worried I wake up scared Another pin goes in Suddenly we're paired Are you paralyzed I can't get out of bed A tiny stich is torn On a pillow rests your head Tears begin to stream Pointing blame towards the sky Sulfer fills the air Now I start to cry Put me back in your drawer I neatly place you back in mine Maybe one day we'll escape But for now we're both fine
