Bows N' Arrows
Electric skylines
Light rail graffiti speeding
Reflections on windows out
Into the night
Shaking
Glimpses of strangers in the seat
Opposite mine
I wonder how they got their
Life
Where they are going
And I keep to myself
The lights flicker
I play with my fingers and
Kick up my shoes
Thinking to myself
These travelling ghosts
Arrive off different stops
To places that dissappear
Into the dark

Donald Trump,
you will never make
America great again.
the American Dream is dead.
and people like you,
are the ones who killed it.

You tasted like every shortcoming I had ever experienced.

My toothbrush thrown on to the ***** floor of an apartment that I had to sneak in and out of. The sound it made mimicked the sound of my ribcage snapping from my heart spilling over with a mixture of relief and guilt. You said that I reminded you of going home when you were small. You never told me you hated your mother

Hearing someone say that you were almost good enough to ****, but turns out you aren't as good of a kisser as they had hoped. Remembering that your first thought was you don't have to kiss to have ***

After nights upon nights of sleeping on couches and finally being invited to sleep in your bed. I had already made myself a make shift nest on the floor, when you told me that you would never let someone like me sleep alone. We kissed and I felt the romantic short-comings spill out of my mouth and into yours.

I should've know you'd spit them back in my face.

The first time was tedious.
I counted 55 tiles on the ceiling to the rhythm
of frantic pumping of teenage desperation.
This promptly ended in a high five and
now my friends won't make fun of me for being a ****** anymore.
Thanks


The second time was filled with
I don't want to have *** today
and always ended in a blur
of make shift *******
and wanting to be far away on the other side
of the newly christened couch.

The third time made me cry
I had never let anyone take me from behind
So when the first thing you asked me to do was lay on my stomach
I felt the need to please someone who I had never met
and to be the girl that you needed.
So I faced the mattress and immediately felt your hand
push my cheek into the pillow case.
This was the only time you were able to finish.

The fourth time I felt wanted.
The next day I felt isolated.
I still think about you and you still don't make eye contact

I needed the fifth time to be good.
I needed to feel better
I needed you to be a good person.
I should've know no one ever ***** me to give me what I need
Its always selfish.

I need to calm my nerves
End this feeling
Escape this situation
Light a smoke
Inhale
Exhale
Nerves fail to calm
Hit filter
Feeling better
Calmed nerves
Light a smoke
Inhale
Exhale
Much better
This news was terrible
Cancer is a scary thing.

All is fair in love and war
War is fair when love is all
Love is war and all is fair.

Shaking, and twitching
Like you're about to explode
Not knowing what to do
And not sure where to go
Balling your fists, and grinding your teeth
A raging fire is burning beneath
Like a tower made of playing cards and glass
One burst of wind and this structure won't last,
Look over your shoulder, someone might be following you
Be afraid of everything
Cause it's all that you can do
This is such a tight space, and your running out of air
And your entire face is tangled in your hair
What do you do?
How do you speak?
Your fast beating heart is feeling quite weak
Your hands quiver as you roll a few
Or fill your ****
Whatever you must do
Your brain is freaking out
So take it on a trip
You need to calm down
And get a grip
