Monday afternoon
Brie Williams Jan 2024
Bounce bounce
On your ****
I’d love to make you want it
Yearn pine
My heart just cries
For something you never wanted
Jan 2024 · 74
Moodiness
Brie Williams Jan 2024
Like waves strong then soft
my mood passes
You see it and feel it
I feel it and know
I know that if I’m smiling I won’t want you
And if I’m frowning you won’t want me
I’m in the dark
Or you’re in the dark
But the cave never closes
Jan 2024 · 67
Wear it
Brie Williams Jan 2024
I can’t help but *****
When I think of you
Can’t help but swallow when I’m meant to chew
Too much new touch
Penetrate beneath my skin
My soul shakes and spins
Spins and shakes
Wake and bake
With shame so full I don’t fit the shoe

Away
Brie Williams Jan 2024
I loved you like a shoe loves a roach
I loved you like dirt loves water and soap
I loved you like gum on my shoe or the bottom of my jeans scraping the pavement
I loved you like a fly loves the cold
Like the youth love getting old
I loved you most went you were gone

Growth
Brie Williams Jan 2024
Watching you look for your keys used to be my cue to plead
but now I just think hurry please

Manic
Brie Williams Jan 2024
My heart flitters and my feet shout
my legs shake
and I want you to tell me all the things you love about me and I’ll pretend all of them are true

Tears inside
Brie Williams Jan 2024
Looking at you
A puddle of bored
A restless of sad
A happyless shade of i wish I could
Still and calm
Pebbles inside
Piercing my heels

Regrets
Brie Williams Jan 2024
You’re a two car garage
A never do I have to ask do you still like me
You’re a bed is always made breakfast at 7
You’re a glasses on the nightstand with a book kind of man kind man
You’re the stability that I ran from and now crave
Joke is on me
My bed has been made
And you stare at me
But I dare not taste
I dare not taste that sip of watery water
That saltless bread
The missionary with the lights off ***
The how are you everyday
And I keep pulling you in
And I keep pulling you in
Even though I’m not allowed to touch

Front door slam
Brie Williams Jan 2024
I told you I didn’t want to be with you
You said you were sorry and you wouldn’t be able to continue a relationship with me
I told you I don’t want a relationship anymore
You said you were sorry but you’d have to leave

Crinchy cratch

Crinchy cratch crows

Cratch croo

Debaser
Brie Williams Dec 2023
What does it mean if he stares at me
My friends all say he must like what he sees
And father says he must find me intimidating
And I find the stares nauseating
Because
The
Last thing
That I want
is another man
I have to see
Become infantile and the
epitome of mediocrity
No Thank you
I have enough puddles of wax
On my hands

Darlin
Brie Williams Dec 2023
Darlin’s arms are so hairy
Like the Sistine chapel in the 16th century
Darlin turned 16 on the 16th
But you wouldn’t know it by the way she’s been kissing anything over 18
And anything is a brick wall jumping
Doing nothing
Feeling something
While Darlin begins to learn numb
Dumb
And too young

Trial
Brie Williams Dec 2023
Is it better to be lonely or loyal
My heart put on trial
An audience watching
Knowing the ending
Crystallized moaning
So many offers
And I stuck with you
A burdensome bandaid on a 30 year wound
A cold empty empty in a cold empty room
And I stay here waiting as I apologize to you

She doesn’t know that she is the best parts
She doesn’t know what perfect means
A heart of gold and a red temper

Different lonelies
Brie Williams Apr 2023
A loud quiet in the country
The same birds making the same sounds
The same wind chimes banging around
The wind almost always never calms down
Waiting to hear your car on the gravel
The least lonely of the sounds
A quiet loud in the city
The jets whistle
While the cars hum
And a dog barks in the distance but not too much
Never alone in a place full of so many strangers
Apr 2023 · 103

Walking a line
Brie Williams Apr 2023
I spin
Into
Oblivion
Into
Situations
That I think I should
A blueprint
I created myself
From tvs and movies
All is lost if nothing else
I do everything

Swept Away
Brie Williams Mar 2023
Split from the root of an ivy
Your past flows through me too
Deep black ink sinking into me
from my brain
to my shoes

Night time
Brie Williams Jun 2022
Knife in my heart
Breathing hard
Easy to feel
Cold veins
You’ve changed
My fault
Slow play
They win
I’ve gained
Truth hurts
Toothache

Cherry
Brie Williams Jun 2022
I ate a box of cherries
Swallowed them
One by one
Dizzy with envy
I’m finished, we’re done
Mar 2022 · 95
Time and Place
Brie Williams Mar 2022
Seeing you again
Put me back to a time and place
Made me spin
Dress twirling
Hair flowing
Seeing you again
Made me whole inside
Made me dance when I stepped
Getting lost in your eyes
Throwing away my pride
To see you again
Mar 2022 · 91
Swimming
Brie Williams Mar 2022
Sun rays bouncing off the water
A blur like a sleepy I don’t want to get up yet morning
Cold legs
Back
Warm shoulders
Neck
Left right
Left right
And I’m tired
Hanging on the side
Head on my shoulders
Skin wrinkled tight
Backstroke to when the sun was high
Mar 2022 · 194
Rules
Brie Williams Mar 2022
I’m trying to not
Break the rules
But you call me
And act brand new
And I’m spinning
From left to right
And I’m trying to stop
But it just don’t feel right
There’s a deep dark hole
Where a special flower grows
Where women go by **
And men go by yo
And if you know you know
If you know you know

Swarm of bees
Brie Williams Oct 2021
Getting older I find myself cursing less
Drinking less
Crying more
Sighing more
Groaning more
Watch how you speak to me mentality is what I carry with me my in pocket
Feels warm

Not my experience
Brie Williams Oct 2021
Never wanted **** more after I had satisfied your urges
It just wasn’t my experience like you said it was
I don’t enjoy competing when racing for the greater good
Even with the incentives
I never hated you because you hated me
It hasn’t been my experience to fight against jealousy
I only like to swim in feelings not compare travesties
May 2021 · 666
Waltz
Brie Williams May 2021
Nature is incomprehensible to your sidewalk mind
Structures with no name are merely that to you
Wet ground is a fairytale to you
Not the sensation you feel taste and smell on a Sunday

Cliff dive
Brie Williams May 2021
I can’t dive anymore
Like I once could
Like I should
It feels dry at the core
No heart inside boils like once before
End of the road
I suppose
I was supposed to be
Should have
Could have
Would have
Never to be
Apr 2021 · 120
A Dance
Brie Williams Apr 2021
I have my own dance
No one can compete with
Not once
It’s a style of its own
A clap and a stomp and a twirl
So many twirls
Makes you want to clap along
Makes your heart beat in rhythm
Watch me dance a dance you’ll never dance
Watch me bleed from my toes and knees and heart
The drip drip drip keeps rhythm better than that heart
And I hope you watch with the same envy that caused me to be lonely
I hope you wear the same evil eye badge that I wear on the soles of my shoes
Stomping and clapping and twirling
Apr 2021 · 96
Sand Stings
Brie Williams Apr 2021
You’re calm like the shore line
Always changing though
I’m topsy turvy
Crashing and splashing
Into you
At full speed
Salt burns me
But slaps you harder
Bleeding pores
Close another chapter
Mar 2021 · 122
Climax
Brie Williams Mar 2021
It’s the tip tap of the phone screen scrolling
Heart beats and doesn’t stop growing
Gooey sticky
And you just noticed
Excited at the notion
Of you going round with other girls
And then the drip drop
my hearts frozen
Mar 2021 · 96
Hindrance
Brie Williams Mar 2021
Lemons fall from fig trees higher
I can’t hear you feel me cryer
Tell me why I always like to try
Cut my leg you said it’s my thigh
There’s all the places I want to be
Take my hand or fall for me
It’s always the wrong wall
I’m too busy for the call

Peeling a Heart
Brie Williams Mar 2021
I know how to peel a heart
It's a punch and a kick with a bite and a twist at the end
It's the blood on my face that I don't see til morning
I know how to peel it fast and quick
A tear and a rip
A triumphant roar I scream at you
Watching you dance the same dance with the same man twirling out of the frying pan and into the arms of the fire again
With charcoal toes I hear you call again
I know how to peel a heart
But what good is it when each time I peel yours I peel mine too

Testing
Brie Williams Mar 2021
Cold ham on the table. Its Wednesday night. He got in just a little late. 5:35. She doesn’t say where have you been? She doesn’t notice the time. How was your day is the only thing shell say. Because shes trained. You see, in the south and oh don’t I know this will be an argument, “Oklahoma ain’t the south, it’s the Midwest!” I don’t want to argue about where Oklahoma is geographically located. The south is a place beyond the Mississippi river or the Ozarks. The south is getting beat for not lying and screamed at for not smiling. Nothing, a warm afternoon on the front porch wont fix. Well the ham might be cold but not as cold as the iced tea that I waited to make until I heard the car door slam. Placed on the table by his plate, it sits and waits. Now here am i. skin and bone, a kerosene lit by hate inside my eyes waiting to eat not much but some so maybe one day ill be as thin as my mother. But how can I ever be as thin as my mother when all she eats is a glass of carrot and apple juice every day at 4. 11 years old but I cant fit that xsmall dress that dad  bought mom for their anniversary at the central mall. Maybe because im a B cup, almost a c cup. Mom gets jealous of all of me except my thighs.

Sad story
Brie Williams Nov 2020
Beautiful billy
Wish you didn’t have a tag punched through your ear
Wish you weren’t strapped and attached
Wish you weren’t Zooted and booted
Wish you weren’t locked and loaded
But that the path that’s been chosen
Red or blue
Blue or red
Guns twirling and gang signs flying
You’re just another body
Sheet covered
In the street
Lying

Brie Williams Nov 2020
It’s not that I don’t want you
It’s just that I can’t have you
You can’t do more than fight
You just can’t face the hard truth
And I wasn’t right
I can’t make an excuse
I think that you’re alright
But I just can’t trust you
Me and you wasn’t right
I won’t try to argue
I know when I **** up
I knew I couldn’t have you
But don’t think that it’s right
How I made your heart bruise
I know that we were tight
But I just wasn’t right though

Bravo
Look at that empty bottle of Of
Look at the table
So immaculate
And quirrrrrky
So... you
And you’re so...
Lonely
Distract distract distract
You’re special
Remember?
The town that kicked you out because of your voice and hair and and and mannerisms now treasures you for being so.... you.
So... quirrrrky
So... lonely

My anger takes me there
Through a sandstorm
With a heartbeat like mine
Slapping mad slicing and gritting

Told no
Brie Williams Sep 2020
Red river keeps finding his way back between my thighs
Yes, I know it’s a guy
Because there’s  laughter when the chunky parts shake on my thighs
did I wait too long
Am I really dry?
Is it bad to want, if even just out of spite?
I was hoping I could just go
It wouldn’t take too long to just know
It could come crawling out my heart like you crawled into my soul
But instead I just get told no

Some things never change
Brie Williams Sep 2020
Like time
This feeling is always on my mind
Tried to speak to the icy window
I just cried
Oranges cooking on the stove with cinnamon sticks
Warms my heart inside
But at night or when I see him
I fold-I just die
Please walk my heart home tonight
I don’t think I can find my way back to life
I’m not sure if I’m in the wrong or right
I just need to be walked home tonight
Helpless
Always helpless
When all I needed was help
Or someone selfless
To take an interest me
Or give an ear to me
Don’t need to be watched while I sleep
Some demons moved on or forgot my phone number
So demons can’t call because I don’t want their phone number
You give shots away
Every day
Hoping the bullets never end up strays
Like a dog on the street or a cat in heat
I just keep trying not to lose my mind or any sleep

4 am work
Brie Williams Aug 2020
We pass around orajel and visine
Manzanas y tangerines
We marvel at red white and green
Hugs are kisses and kisses should be seen
Turning around cookies
so thin
A revolucíon of what could have been
Of girls saying don’t look
And boys saying read books
And the result is being booked and taken back to the truck
