Sometimes we can just sit down
And
Bleed
Sometimes we just need
One more hand
(Maybe a few hundred more)

Sometimes we stand up
And
Fall
Sometimes we need more time to scrawl
A moment for this masterpiece we planned
(So what if it's just the first line)

Spilling,
Black against a winter white
Seeping through the snow
-layers of skin-
Resting on red
That thrums and sings,
That whispers life, and
Withers in the end

Paint over the stain
In this old home
Plaster over the pain
You don't let the tears roam

Is it worth
All the time you waste mourning
Until your swallowed by the Earth?

Carpeted floors
Absorb all the sounds -your dying moans-
All that blood, all that pain you bore

Is it right
That you fade into the night
While they set your picture on top of a black box
In the spotlight?

Stop waiting
Stop speaking
Stop caring

Tornadoes and fire
Water and glass
Words that fit like puzzle pieces
If you say them right

The little raindrops seeping through your mind
The perfect words
That mean nothing

Stop shouting
Stop crying
Stop asking

Magic, illusions
Dreams, wishes,
Hope and faith
Love and death
Stop

Superheroes don't cry
They're not famous
They do not fly

Instead superheroes weep

They walk like you and I
But have a heart that bounds and leaps

Superheroes are the everyday stranger
The dust that stays loyal to abandon houses
The drops of water in a desert

Swallowed up
The sun beats down,
Knocking on my coffin
Rain falls down,
More tears for another life
Sheets of ice
Taunting my nerves

Swallowed up
No heaven wants me
No hell can contain me
So I have my wish then, to lie underground
As pensive dust

It was a slow rip
That was breaking the seam.

A quick quiver of the lip,
And in my eyes, a rising gleam.

The broken shard
You pulled from my chest,
Leaving me with an aching scar.

I'll let the summer wind take my pain
And let it be washed away by my rain.

Tell me
How to be pretty
How to be smart
How to be selfless
Or tell me
How to stop eating for a ******* week
How to cheat without getting caught
How to act like anything ******* matters
Just keep telling me how to ******* lie.

------------------------------------
Just venting.

Love ya <3

And to think-
to remember in these ten seconds-
that we screamed till our throats
were torn and tattered.
Now knowing none of it
was necessary
and regretting how righteous
it felt ripping out the pages
we could have written to fill the blankness
before darkness came down with its iron fist.

Welcome
to this pit of stars
you call the universe.
I call the bottom rim
crushed beneath the weight
of a black, breathless bag.

Now forgotten
under the dead and the days,
left in a landfill with
open eyes and outstretched palms.
Gotten over past pains
because they lie
like the dirt on top of you.

I am the only demon
That will show you my horns
-you can run-
Because I will
Always find you

I am the only demon
That will love you
And keep you safe
Because we kindled the
First flames of hell together

I am the only demon
That will spear you with my tail
And raise you
Because you'll always ask
To do it all again

Time falls like leaves in Autumn.
Red. Brown. Gold.
Beautiful,
but mourning the loss of something new.
It's those fleeting moments
of smiles and laughter that make us the saddest.
It's getting used
to the mounds of silence
just have it blown away
by a gust of wind.

Your hands are broken
And your heart is sparking at your feet
You won't leave 'till you've spoken
And your fists will pound 'till we're beat

You're a liar
Make the smoke swirl and spin
And call it magic so they'll fly higher
Into the moments that have been

Your hands are broken
And you're a pillar of flame
You won't leave 'till you've spoken
And suffocated the world with shame

You're a seamstress
Snatching up old sins
That aren't yours to confess,
Secrets you'd bled from beneath my skin

The skeletons that spiral
On the golden stair
    Twin devils headed
Down, down, down...

Sweet fires
To burn out their eyes

The skeletons that spin
On graveyard silk
    Seven hundred beady eyes
Staring, staring, staring...

I've never seen something
So full of nothing but
The sky
Just one unwavering eye
Crying out through the birds
Sharing its sadness
And story
The sky
Is its own in its glory

Does the sun fly up high
Just to be alone, to cry?
Does he call out to his children?
Help me. Save me.
While alas they are already gone.
And does he fall down on his knees
To hear the Mocking birds and feel the sting of the bees
While he drowns in his tears?

I wanted to say something
Off the top of my head.
I wandered in circles, in a spiraling ring.
A corpse that doesn't know she's dead.

I had something
On the tip of my tongue.
I wrung out my hands, ripped out the bones,
'Till there were no fingers left to wring.
A breath that never filled her lung.

I need something
To be the thrum of my heart.
Something -someone- more than a fling
And who won't so soon depart.

The words seem broken in my heart
Glass that cuts me open, and
Makes me bleed
Without them knowing

The words seem lodged inside my throat
Unshed tears,
Sobs I'm choking on

The words seem to make me whole
But they are my shortest bliss,
They are the whisper of a song

A day like any other
I am your dream

I wish right now could be
Forever
Because that's how long it'd take for you to see

I'm constantly alone
In crowded rooms
Hoping that you'll stay, that I'm not layered lies to the bone.
Slip on the costume.
I'll grown into it. Can't always be fake.
Just the kind of thoughts
That lead to a mistake.

I feel
This turning deep inside my chest.
Their dancing steals
My heart from it's nest.

Wildflowers.
Swarms of white
Below the golden light.

I feel
This spinning inside my soul.
The bruises have begun to heal,
And something's filled the hole.

There's a key
I have to- I need to find
There's a bird on a tree
That's feeling confined

A song
Racing around my head
A wrong
Left all the Right's dead

Maybe it's a curse
That I always find what's worse
Maybe it's a taunt
Because it's exactly what I want

5 minutes
and maybe 30 seconds
until the world explodes,
until we run, like mice in maze, to the next place,
and the next, and the next...

5 minutes
and maybe 30 seconds
until second period.

--------
Wrote this before second period the other day,
idk just something I felt was worth saving somewhere, like a lucky penny tucked inside your pocket.
Love ya :)

Slipping, slipping, slipping
Away.
Heart tickling and tripping
Over blood that rushes through the quiet.
Just a ticking pulse, waiting for the last riot.

Tick, tick, tick
Infinity.
Mind roaring and racing quick
Through the deep, crevices and cracks.
Just closing slowly, waiting for the encroaching black.

A day like any other
I am your soul

You were a bump
In the road, a lump
In my sore throat

If I was an ocean, or a single wave
You'd be the moon.
I'd be your slave.
If I was a day, or just the sighing noon
You'd be the night,
Thoughtlessly turn out the light.

Quiet wishes on a star
That explodes. To far
Away for me
-for any child's heart to see-

Open doors
Are to silent when they close,
And leave you burning with your sores.
There is no lapse, no brief repose
From the mourning of a dream.

Staring as he dies
The world goes still
Only you dare to give your last goodbyes
He bleeds into the horizon, falls behind the hill

Birds are screaming for the moon
To grant us a reprieve
From this time of dying
So some can lay down their arms, and end their grieving

His children wait
One day, two days, for eternity
Some below stay straight
But you tilt with the breeze for all to see
Your love is clear, this sight is fate

Flames will lick you up.
Angels will throw you down.
There's blood in your cup,
And in that blood you will drown.

When the smoke clears
And the moon comes out to play,
You will watch your fears
Rise. The skeletons in your closet will come to stay.

The world will be consumed in a lie,
And you will take the blame.
The layers of shame
Are the only truth to you.
When the end of the world comes
I promise no matter what you do
You will die.

***** out the candle
Jump off the edge
The only thing she couldn't handle
The only promise she crossed her fingers

Mother would like to think a spirit lingers
Nothing else could keep her here
The bee with a deadly sting
The hooded man instilling fear

Father would like to never die
He says he won't so he doesn't cry
He says he'll float around the sky
He says a lie

I would like to not know death
I can't stop to imagine a moment without thought
I would like to hold onto every breath
But I won't win this war I fought

The walls will cave
The fire will consume
We'll lose the brave
And stay in our tomb

When we're old
The world will
Taste sweeter

When we're old
We can share
The sunrise

While we're young
The world is sour
And sweet, candy

While we're young
We'll share an argument
And a kiss

To the place where
The sky must start.
Past the gaps, and through the glare
Of a ticking, bleeding heart.

To the edge, to the dark,
To a lonely place I must embark,
And meet a rumored man, who is neither foe nor friend.
To the place where the sky must end.

Why is the sun shining
When your away?
I'm not whining,
But shouldn't it be a rainy day?

I'll wait at the windowsill
Until I'm old and slumped
And if you don't return my heart will never heal
And if you know me at all, you'll know I never jumped

They can put you in the Earth
But I know you'll rise
Because there can't be worth
Without those lies

Why am I afraid?
Outside the spotlight,
Do I think I'll fade?
Is that why I feel such a fright?

I'm hiding from the man in the mask.
I'm worried to pass under the arch.
So before I go I want to ask,
Why are you afraid of the dark?

Wines of melancholy
Thorns of ignorance burrow deep
Within the pounding heart
That bird should shriek at wind
To lift and carry higher under-wing

Smelling sleeping flowers
And wandering in a haze
Closes dreams to reality
That gold can grant a life
To steal it back in greed

Turning life on death
Wishing graves to rot
Or mothers to caress
That moment brother murders brother
To end his life as well

I wish it was winter
I miss the sound
Of the trees that splinter

I wish it was cold
I miss the winds that
Swept my hair, the winds were bold.

I wish it was snowy
I miss the downy flakes that
Kissed me slowly

A prison without prisoners
A key without a lock
Me

I keep the gun without the bullets
I hold on without my fingers
I have the chest without a heart

There's no play, but I got the part
There's no song, but I have the lyrics
There's no love, but I can't hate you

A clam without a pearl
A fire without a flame
A world without me...

Tired and sleepy
aren't the same thing

Sleepy
is when he kisses her on the cheek
Tired
is when it's too much to speak

Sleepy
is when whispered in her ear
"sweet dreams my love"
Tired
is when she cried into her pillow
"he is my nightmare"

Tired and sleepy
aren't the same thing
