She can walk
          between
             night and day
               never letting either
                  get in her way.
She learned this trick
                     many moons ago
                                by
                     going deep within
           and never letting it show.
Her soul is innocent
her heart is pure
she’s gone through more
than most could endure.
            She’s an angel of light
                 an angel of dark
                 you never know
              what you will spark.
                      You want to hurt her?
                         Please, go ahead and try
                           she’ll be the one to show you
                                  just how well she can
                                                              f
                                                                l
                                                                  y.
                                  Her soul innocent
                    her heart pure
      but never think for one minute
that she’s not secure.
                                Say what you will
                          please, do what you must
                       but your jealousy and hatred
                             won’t waver her trust!

younger love.

She told me she's falling in love
but i only see her falling


She whispered in my ear,

                                           "I'll hang off the rope
                                                          he made for me."


He told me,

       "She holds onto the chain
                        around my ankle."

In their dreams they exchanged,

               "To you, i'm the artery,
                                 that pumps blood
                                            through your heart."

they feel like they cant live without each other but they are a burden to each other too.

cool, calm & collected, carpets and crack *******.

gnaw, crunch on glass
bleeding tongue
to create sand
if i swallow
i'll cough it back up
cause shes evil
ornery
esophagus
estrangement from all those before
growing disillusionment with love, *** and people.
or is that they're all doing it wrong.
cause they sure can't keep their hands off
love the right thing, love life.
Shaggy hair
Black liner
Starry smile

as Lana said:
    Money is the anthem of success
                                         so put on your mascara
                                                                 & your party dress.

to swallow sand* -to drown out the demons
to crunch on glass* - to suffer
keep going life is beautiful <3 both good and bad
way more than just that.

Tights.

30 denier, nothing else
long legs
wet lips implanted on the glass
mellow heart, sultry breath,
condensed mirror
radiant friction, out of sync
from two outcast ladies
damp hair
humid walls
so right.

i will follow him by Peggy March
rustling in & out of frequency on the radio
indecipherable feeling
warm in here

she told me,loving her is like shaking hands with the devil
happiness is a butterfly
and its summer
so we're fine.

feel penitent
contrite
but we both do
so its fine
we'll go to penitentiary
its not love no
but we understand each other.

the perfect girl

It's alarming, honestly how charming can she be
fooling everyone, telling 'hon i'm having fun'

you don't want to be like me
don't want to see the things i've seen

I'm dying,
                  dying

she gives them butterflies
bats her cartoon eyes
she laughs like god
her minds like a diamond

its alarming, truly how disarming can she be.

baby's all dressed up with nowhere to go
that's the story of the little girl you know.
relying on the kindness of strangers
tying cherry knots
       smiling, doing party favors.

put your dress on, put your lipstick on
sing your song the cameras on
and you're alive again.

darling, darling
doesn't have a problem
lying to herself cause her liquors top shelf.

you don't want to get this way
street walk at night, and a star by day.

It's tiring,

            tiring.

angel

My mind is full of beatific light
glowing,
branches and vines untangle
revealing the path of which i've struggled to get through
i'll follow the wisp
in a shape of a bowling pin
so happy and altruistic.
