i always wanna die
whenever you're away
from me
because you're the one
who gives me life.

please don't ever
stray from my sight
because i'm afraid i
might lose myself if you do.

blackbiird Dec 2018
Your lips are acrylic paint and my body is the canvas.
Together, we create a masterpiece.

I hope she gives you AIDS.
That'll teach you to **** anyone again.
I hope your **** falls off
I hope you're laying in a hospital bed where you
think of me before you close your eyes one final time.

Oh, did i mention I hope you get AIDS?

promise to hold my heart
when it becomes untethered from
Your grace and love.
i’ve reached the end of myself…..


and there’s nowhere left to turn
but You.
i’ve tried steering
this ship called life but
it’s time for You to take the lead.  

blackbiird May 2019

i wish i had the courage
to talk to you but for right
now, my friend jack daniel will do.

blackbiird Jan 2019
I’m tired of fighting a
Winless battle.
I wish I could reverse
Time and stop me from being born.
But all I have are
These pills that can give me
The permanent sleep I desire.
But then I think of you
And flush them out.
Don't worry, I'm okay.
blackbiird May 2019

my eyes undressed you from across
the room and i fell in love but
little did i know that underneath those clothes
was a heart of stone.

blackbiird Jun 2019
I'm done with love.

I always seem to get burned

for loving the most.
blackbiird Mar 2019
i love you.
ti amo
je t'aime.
Wǒ ài nǐ
я тебе люблю
te amo.
Я люблю тебя
jag älskar dig
kocham Cię

no matter what language,
love is beautiful.
blackbiird Dec 2018
Thank you for loving me at my worst.
I promise to give you my heart at my best.
blackbiird Dec 2018
Your lips are still your lips
And your eyes are still your eyes,
Burning with desire from the moment I passed
You on that dimly lit street in September.
All I could think was:
“I love you.”
blackbiird Jan 2019
Maybe we’re ****** up but so is the world.
Maybe we aren’t meant to be
But let’s say **** the world
And be ****** together.
blackbiird Dec 2018
The infinity of our past pales in comparison to the infinity of our future.
blackbiird Dec 2018
If I could rearrange the stars,
I’d put the moon in front of the sun
So I could witness your beauty from the darkness.
blackbiird Dec 2018
Unhinge my deepest insecurities
And grasp me within the safety of your love.
Light a match within the hallowed halls of my heart
And I’ll watch the demons flee.
blackbiird Dec 2018
I loved you until it became a habit.
And like a cigarette,
I became addicted.
blackbiird Dec 2018
Let our love part the seas
So that we may walk on water
And into an eternal heaven
Where only our two souls shall dwell.
blackbiird Dec 2018
The atmosphere you breathe is the void
Of my soul’s content.
And I am safe.
Underneath the aurora of our bodies breathing.
blackbiird Dec 2018
I watched my castle burn down but you came and rebuilt it.
I watched my heart break but you came and mended it.
And just like that
I fell in love.
blackbiird Mar 2019
i've loved and lost
but i am thankful for
the stars that guided my way
back to Your heart.

the
disease
has
progressed
and left
me
paralyzed,
lovesick
and
stuck
in
your
world
with
no
escape.
blackbiird Feb 2019
clean sheets.
warm bodies
***** *******
poking you
as we reach
the threshold
of ecstasy.
I am
still.
you’re shaking
and the
world goes
black
and I
awaken

Beneath the garden
shed, her bones bleed
Without much notice of
decay.

Smells of rotten garbage
Permeated the building
Of her demise
Without much notice of
isolation.

Souless, lifeless carcass
Becomes her as she loses
Unconsciousness beneath the
Rotting soil.

And the malevolence
Took over.
blackbiird Jun 2019
mama always told me be careful
who you tell your secrets to
because one day you just might
wake up and your whole world is chaos.

as usual, mama was right.
blackbiird Apr 2019

nothing would make me happier
than to hold your hand for the rest of our lives
grow old with you
and watch our grandchildren play under
the magnolia trees in the summer sun.

blackbiird Feb 2019

my tears bled
like diamonds onto the sidewalk
and the sun soaked them up
before they had a chance to shine.

blackbiird May 2019
i wish you were dead
but death is too good for you.
so I pray to god that he
has mercy on you in purgatory.
blackbiird Nov 2019

by the fireplace
watching our ghosts
burn before our eyes.

A doomed relationship..
blackbiird Jun 2019
i know i need help
but my mind won't adapt
i know it's not your fault
for trying to love
me when i can't
seem to love myself
i know i'm a dysfunctional
mess but i love it
i know i need help
but my mind is comforting.
i know you're going to
leave but i'm fine
leave me with the comfort
of my own thoughts.
blackbiird Jun 2019

i want to be the reflection in
the mirror that turns your frown
upside down.

blackbiird Feb 2019

i hate that I still
crave your embrace
even after you've
beaten
up my heart
stolen my joy and
confiscated my tears

i hate that you
built a fortress
in my heart where
your enemies take captive.

misandry
i think it's time
you and I part ways.
you're killing me
but i can't seem to stay away.

blackbiird Apr 2020

for the make-believe
world you spun around me
infected with webs of lies,
seeping with the decay
of our own insecurities.

yet the sad thing
is I believed you were
my beautiful Guardian
Angel dressed as Satan.

blackbiird May 2019
i wanna die. i wanna die.
i wanna die. i wanna die.
i wanna die. i wanna die.
but i can't seem to pull the trigger.
blackbiird Nov 2019
from you slamming the
door in my face again
yet I still come back every time.
it's heard letting go of someone you can't seem to leave alone even if it's not good for you.
blackbiird Mar 2019

I want to pick you up
and carry you in my pocket
for the rest of my days.

little did I know that
you'd be the one to
carry me for the rest
of my days.

For God, my Redeemer lives.
blackbiird Mar 2019

there is no hole
big enough to fill
the satisfaction of my misery.
even my tears overwhelm
the ocean from which
all life swims.

instead i keep my tears
locked away in a reservoir
where the demons feed off them.

blackbiird Mar 2019
never date a poet because they’ll
expose your lies with the stroke
of a pen and leave you to bleed out
your sorrows.
blackbiird Sep 2018
A kaleidoscope of fleeting embers appears beneath the fireplace—
Burnt ashes permeating these hollow halls of winter.
Faded cards with Christmas carols mark the existence of another absolution
Where we invent ourselves from glass crystals and a nonsense
Fanatical of perfection.

Shards of rainbow-colored glass on the floor as we run barefoot among the stars.
Sparks of yellow and orange and blue and red and gold illuminate
The dreary existence of this lonely town.
As we search for new illusions to
Fill our drunken hearts.

Chestnut leaves fall onto the ground
As we countdown—
Five…
Four…
Three…
Two…
One…

Another year gone—
Another soul taken—
To cashmere sweaters and expensive screens.
What have we become?
blackbiird Mar 2019

your love chased me
down a dark alley
that i made with my own rebellion.

your love rescued me
even when i denied you
in front of the altar.

what greater love than
the love of the father?

blackbiird Jan 2019
sometimes i want someone to take the rain
but leave the pain
so I can watch my heart slowly die
like it was always meant to.

but mind you,
this is not a suicide note
because my soul has already died.
blackbiird Mar 2019

I held a candle to my demons
for so long.
But he distinguished them with the
whisper of His voice.

blackbiird Apr 2019

a rose can bloom from the hands of
the broken widow who spent
her entire life sowing the seed
and never watering it.

blackbiird Apr 2019
i'm underwater
drowning yet you
continue to fill the tank with water.
blackbiird Apr 2019
her skeleton smiled
in the mirror and whispered
in her ear:
“fat doesn’t look good on you.”
blackbiird Dec 2019
help

          don’t
    belong
here
   in
my
    world
messing
    it
up.
haven't written anything in a while because I've been so distracted but here ya go :)
blackbiird May 2019
i no longer find solace
in my solitude because the voices in
my heard are too loud.
                      "your nose is too big"
"you're too fat"

          "you'll never be good enough"

"no one likes you"

"better off dead"

and the office talk begins.
blackbiird Oct 2019
I had a dream
that our bodies
withered under the
crumbling weight
of our façade.
and
Our
souls
sprouted
from the cynicism
that surrounds both of us.
and
Our
disillusion with the human
realm was buried within the
ghosts of our past.
blackbiird May 2019

One day someone’s going
To find a book of my poetry
After I have left this world
And they’re going to see
All the brokenness, loneliness, hopes
And dreams
The good, the bad, the pretty
And the ugly
And they’re going to smile
And say:
“I would’ve loved her even on
Her worst day.”

blackbiird Mar 2019

if God created the earth in seven days,
who’s to say He won't turn your rainfall
into sunshine in one moment?

On Purpose

I kissed you without permission—
In hopes that you would kiss me back.
I was open with you—
In hopes that you would be open with me.

I waited in the rain on that cold December night---
In hopes that you would pick me up.
I wrote you 365 letters every day for a year.
In hopes that you would write me back.

I loved you on purpose—
In hopes that you would love me back.
I fought with you on purpose—
Hoping you would fight back.

Three years have passed since our last phone call.
You have probably moved on—
Yet I sit in this empty room,
Wondering why I loved you on purpose.
