Pour me effortlessly down the drain
As if I were expired milk in the morning
Pour me through your fingers
Let me flow away like slippery
Ribbons down the void
In your kitchen

In the sink

In the ******* kitchen sink
Jenovah Dec 2017
Take away my oxygen
And cradle my life force in your hands
The same hands that destroyed my walls
The hands that lifted me up
Off the floor when I couldn't do it anymore
Lay me down for my eternal rest
Hold me in those hands
Until I take my last breath
Let me feel you run them through my hair
While my lungs run out of air
Rest them upon my heart while I sleep
Let those steady hands run over
My skin, then repeat
.
.
.

Repeat
.
.
.


Repeat
.
.
.


Until the last beat
Jenovah May 2019
I radiate light my dear
Divine, milky, plus-size sphere
Mysterious femininity at my axis
Boys orbit my Atmosphere
But the brave land their ships
On my marvelous mountains
And equisite garden
I am an ambassador for
Mother Earth
Come taste the freshest rain
And view the prettiest flower
I keep secret between
The space where I can
Make fantasies come true
Jenovah Feb 2020
Sprawled out in my bed
Made up haphazardly
I reek of corruption
And disdain

The sheets absorb my secrets
My mattress a deceitful
Wretch beneath me

The walls swallow me up  
The room consumes me

With reckless abandon
I made my bed and
Let you lie in it
Jenovah Aug 2017
My thoughts caved in on themselves
My knees became liquid beneath me
I found myself crash-landing
Onto the floor
A war waged inside of my stomach
Out came the contents of my lunch
It melded into the carpet
My chest felt like layers of brick
My throat became scratchy like razors
Like the razors that sunk so neatly
Into your flesh
We were a beautiful mess
The after math of lost reality
Jenovah Sep 2019
While my life is mostly bleak
You are my favorite day of the week
My lips against your cheek made me think
I could do it again

These ******* butterflies again
They will soon turn into moths
And eat me from within

I will pick you flowers
place them in your hair
And listen to you sing for hours

But will they wilt?
When the days don’t feel the same
Will you fill up with guilt?

When you are sick of me
And I’m not the one you seek
Anymore, you will still be my
Favorite day of the week

When someone else takes up
The space in your bed
And the moths are all dead

I will collect their carcasses
And wilted flowers
Then keep them in a jar
With a label that will say

“Tuesday”
For a girl
Jenovah Sep 2013
I trace the scars on your body.
Secretly judging your every flaw.

Your breath hot and slightly sour.
I grimace, but let you kiss me anyway.

Your embrace too tight, but I do not fight it.
I become damp with sweat, my skin pressed on yours.

You snored loudly in my ear.
I could not sleep, I was miserable.

Your face so calm, so far away in sleep.
So ugly, but it made me want you more.

I am attracted to such misery.
The nausea inside me, somehow comforts me.

As long as I am not alone,
I can tell myself I am happy.

I can lie to myself...I am happy.
Jenovah Jun 2016
Nervous; When I think about you.
Nervous; When you touch my skin.
Nervous; When you look me in the eyes.
Nervous; When you kiss my lips.
Nervous; When you hold my hand.

-Weak in the knees, I tremble thinking
about how much I love everything about you.
From the the freckles on your ear
lobe, to the way you sing in the car.
I bite my cheeks to keep from struggling on my words-


Nervous; When I want to tell you how I feel.
Nervous; Because I want to cling to you.
Nervous; When we take off our clothes.
Nervous; When you tell me I'm beautiful.
Nervous; Because I don't want to lose you.
Jenovah Mar 2015
I have loved you, but I haven't met you...
yet.
Jenovah May 2017
I thought the only way to be to **** was

The length of our hairs

Or the width of our torsos

Even the shape of our fingernails

And most of all, the digital weight

Of our entire being

Two decades have passed

And the surest thing I know in this world

Is that I never liked math.
Jenovah Nov 2017

Orange, the perfect color for me.
The odd one, the bright one.
Fire is orange and I have fire in me.
Orange is beautiful, I am too you see.
Orange always manages to stand out,
I too stand out,always wanting to fit in.
A tear tickles my chin,
as the thought of never to fit in
swims in my mind.
A friend is what I need,
a friend in orange I always find.
Because you see, orange is the color for me.
Nothing will ever rhyme with orange,
and nobody will ever choose me.
Jenovah Apr 2019
I wanted to write about the weather and how it was relatable; How I related to the gloomy storm clouds, but that’s just pathetic. I am sick of this woe is me persona. **** that and **** the weather. Tomorrow could be better, or possibly wetter weather! Whatever, **** it, deep breath and smile anyways.
Today’s mood
Jenovah Apr 2017
Invisble choke hold on my throat
Churning stomach acids
Seeping up my esophagus
Unwelcomed irrational fear
Breaking down the door
The door to my panic reflex
Sweaty palms
Lungs feeling like hardened clay
Heart beating hard beneath
A shakey rib cage
Voices float around me
But the words are drowned out
Like sinking under water
Focus out of sight
Out of mind
I am against the ceiling now
Only to crashland
Back into existence
In a time laspe of mere minutes
Jenovah Aug 2016
Your funny-sweet personality fitted with sweet nothings only we know.
It's perfect, you're perfect.
Eyes like  green exotic nebulas beyond the atmosphere.
Lips soft and mauve, teeth like ivory cut from sacred temples.
Hair a wispy brown nest I could run my fingers through forever.
Skin soft like the finest of silks;
I can't help but to want push mine against it.
A laugh that could reverberate for light years inside my head.
Contagious, perfect.
You're like a liquid drug in my veins and I'm entirely addicted.
I need you, I want you.
I feel alive with you, I feel right with you.
I feel perfect with you.
Give me another dose baby, let me feel that perfection again and again.
Jenovah Mar 2018
I could have picked you apart
like one plucks
petals effortlessly from a
fresh bloomed flower
in spring
but unlike a new sprung flower
you have
long ago withered
Jenovah Dec 2020
Only let someone be a portion
Of your happiness;
Not all of it
Jenovah Dec 2018
I stared at the  walls that swallowed up our moans while
My body drank
Up the moon light
That poured in from the window
I could still feel the wetness
From your tongue
Like raindrops
Resting on the petals of
My feminity
I could see the map
Your fingers
Traced along my skin
like Fresh water colors on an open canvas
Pheromones coat the air
Like  the way  lilacs do in the summer
Soft breaths whispering
as your lungs
Inflated and deflated
You the resting knight
Who crumbled my castle walls
The knight who vanquished my fears
In the dark of my canopy bed
Where I had  surrendered
And let the moment devour me
We became a euphoric
Prism of passion
On silken sheets
Then we drifted away into sleep
Jenovah Oct 2019
Reclaiming the things that I lost
Along the way
When I let the wrong people
Hold my heart close to them
Only to take it to places
That it didn’t belong
And to  people that
didn’t welcome me
For all that I am.
I didn’t belong
With you, maybe.
But I was and still am
a vessel
Searching for
H a p p i n e s s

Bury Me;

Jenovah Jan 2020
I thought I’d find all the answers
in solitude
But all I found was the reminder
Of loneliness
Jenovah Feb 2022
Crisp air; the burn of Winter
Can be felt deep within
My lungs

A hazy sky keeps me grey
Keeps me melancholy
The sun out of sight
Keeps me stagnant

I yearn to be lit up again

If only I could find
The fire inside me…

…But I’ve yet to learn how
dealing with seasonal depression
Jenovah Apr 2018
Have you looked into the mirror lately?
Or do you only see your reflection
Taunting you in the bath water
Moments before you sink the blade
Deep into your wrists
Oh sad boy
Why do you listen to those songs on repeat?
Why do you spend all your time alone?
Why did you wait for those who would never come?
Oh sad boy
Your eyes they tell me stories
Beautiful and heartbreaking ones too
Sorrowful and soft
Did you ever notice?
That your lovely?
Oh so lovely.
I wish you would have known
Before you climbed into the water
And drowned yourself away.
Jenovah Feb 2020
I weigh out my decisions on Libras scales
and hope to god the stars
show me a ******* sign
Nothing in this universe
Is as Devine
As you my darling
I could lap you up
Like a milky galaxy
Explosive like
Nebula on my tongue
Tasting every ounce
Of your brilliance
Your doubts your fears
Your beautiful ******* resilience
But the universe plays
Cruel tricks on me
It shows me affection
Always in the worst ways
The least expected
Secret midnight kisses
In the form
Of a dangerous entity
So I bottle it up all
And throw it to a vicious sea
This is one love
That just can never be
Jenovah Mar 2016
I searched my entire room,
Every nook and cranny
For anything that would remind me of you.
A letter, a peice of clothing, even a smell
But all I found was emptiness.
But where?
My room? My head? My heart?
I couldn't figure it out, but I soon learned
You left nothing
but a memory.
I sought to forget it,
But I could only escape from it
For a moment at a time.
I  can no longer  breathe but for a few seconds a day.
I'm forever suffocating in a memory of you.
Jenovah Feb 2019
I finally feel I can be happy again
Now that I’ve shed my metaphorical
Skin
I no longer feel the crawling sensations of the insecurities you
Conjured up for me
I can no longer feel the burn in my chest
After you’ve passed on my secrets
To uninvited ears
Because you will never get another one from me nor will you ever know another part of me
I am done living in your shadow because you thought me incapable of true friendship
Without  you I will grow into the most beautiful and best me
like a **** that held me back
you will no longer break me and pick me apart and keep me from growing
For A toxic friend
Jenovah Aug 2023
Shedding my skin again
Dust off my bones
Beginning again

Crawl out of the cocoon
See new light
I will spread my wings soon

Wake from hibernation
Wipe sleep from my eyes
I’m a whole new creation

Crack open the shell
Taste newly fallen rain
It is time I prevail
Jenovah Sep 2013
Dark flesh so sleek against my creamy, peach skin.
Body pressed against mine, breath in rhythm with mine.

Your touch sending tingles down my vertebrae.
The endorphins unleashing in my brain.

Together we create beauty and love upon my sheets.
painting a picture with our sweat, our breath sweet lullabies I won't forget.

In the night my dreams flow vividly around me.
But by morning there will be an emptiness in my bed.
An emptiness within myself.
Jenovah Sep 2016
We had the world at our fingertips.
We were gold plated and heartfelt. In an open sea, just two ships.
We got lost out there from the world but it was the same horizon day after day.
Soon, the  world felt small.We no longer had words so say.
Now we're just copper plated and the love has faded.
Jenovah Jul 2014
Emotions running deep,
Like stairs entirely too steep;
I climbed.

My legs grew weak.
With shaky limbs,
I progressed.

A tunnel of hate
Dark and unforgiving;
I carried on.

Mountains of memories
Standing tall;
I shuffled onward.

A vast sea of guilt;
I sank.
For I cannot swim.
Jenovah May 2016
You held my hand in your sleep.
Sometimes you talk to me in your sleep too.
But best of all, you'll put
your arm around me and pull me closer to you.
Sleeping is when, as humans, we are the most sincere.
But I'll never tell you the sweet things you do in your sleep,
those are my secrets to keep.
So, baby get some sleep tonight.
Hold me until morning light.
Jenovah Nov 2020
I imagined you and her as
The fat swollen slugs
I poured salt on
And watched them
Writhe in agony
A recreation of the agony
You left inside of me
Jenovah Apr 2020
My heart a burning gem
You cracked open
Once again
Whilst yours
Smolders within
Her hands
Jenovah Feb 2023
I was a flame you fed
and burned too brightly;
Until you smothered me to ashes
Jenovah Jun 2021
My creature comforts
My doubts
My fears
My love for you
All the things
That make me up
Don’t make me up at all
They’re just crutches
I use to soften
All my edges
Because being myself
Is the hardest thing
I’ve ever done
Jenovah Jan 2015
It's not that I'm inexperienced, but with you
whatever this is, it's very new.
I can't wrap my head around it;
All I know is, I want to wrap my arms
around you.
Jenovah Aug 2022
Sometimes sadness
Embraces me
Like an old friend
Jenovah May 2019
You are like raindrops resting on soil
Flow into me like water
Gentle, as I am still a flower in bloom
Give me sunlit skies
And hold me to your chest;
I am still healing
Tell me about far off galaxies
And how you gaze  at stars
Wishing you could hold them in your hands
For light years they live in the skies
Only to burn so beautifuly
In the atmosphere
And we capture the experience in our memories
And admire blazing star dust
For  only seconds at a time
Jenovah Mar 2020
You thought yourself master of the chessboard
But now squirm in a maddening panic;
you’ve lost control of your pawns
And I still stand as queen

Jenovah Jun 2014
If we kissed in warm summer heat,
Would you taste of everything sweet?

Would knots turn in my tummy?
Would I float off into the clouds above me?

Would you hold my hand,
and sing me songs from your favorite band?

Would your skin feel like velvet against mine?
As we laid on the beach and forgot about time.

Would you hold me through the night,
And promise to still want me by morning light?
Jenovah Feb 2019
Sunlight coming in through the window and resting on my inner thigh
The warmth reminds me of the soft kisses
That your sacred lips once left behind
Jenovah Aug 2019
a long drag
of a cigarette
in hopes too
exhale all
of these thoughts
away with the smoke
that leaves my lungs
I don’t know what’s
killing me
the things in my head
or the ******* cigarettes?
Jenovah Jul 2016
Hot heavy air, and I was wet all over. But I didn't care about the heat I still wanted you to hold me. I didn't mind if my makeup melted away, anything to stand beside you. But the nights were cooler, we could slow it down and absorb every bit of each other.
Tell me your thoughts, your wants, your fears.
Tell me underneath a starlit-midnight sky.
Tell me in your car while were lost in the moment.
Tell me while we lie in bed with our skin is touching.
Sing me your favorite songs and know that if I'm staring silently at you, I'm admiring everything about you.
But tell me baby, tell me.
Tell me you don't want this to end.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Tell me you'll never let me go.
Tell me.
The
Jenovah Feb 2021
The
Forest witch shakes the bag
Which, holds the pliered-out
Teeth she’s collected

But we only heard the crackling
Of campfire
...or was it cackling?
This is just for fun- Add to in the comments to make a poem story!!!!
Jenovah Aug 2013
I wanted to burn it all down.
Run away and leave this old town.

I wanted to drown all the ones who wronged me.
Sail away into the peaceful sea.

I wanted to curse my bullies all to hell.
Then be able to leave my comforting shell.

I wanted to seek revenge on that hideous *****,
Then sit on a throne filthy ******* rich.

But instead I found an alternative way to cope.
A way that brought me freedom and hope.

I put it the pen to the paper,
And let my thoughts free- float.
Jenovah Dec 2019
It broke me down into mere morsels
Which will eventually
Be consumed into
The belly of the beast
Which is my beloved
Close-knit “society”
Of friends
Or
Who I thought were friends
Anyways


they will continue
To thirst and hunger
For my selfless
Appreciation and kindness
And in the end when
I am
Only bones
-After they have already picked my
Ribs clean-
They will peer into my
Empty chest;
That is the moment
They will know
I am finally gone

Then the thirst and hunger
Will come again
And they will in turn
Consume each other
