What do you think of when you hear my name?
Is it bad? Is it good?
My name does not belong
My name does not belong on the bad side
When you barely even know me
My name is not the way that
I've cut my wrist to see the vein
It's not the way that I was brought up
It's not the way that I was taken advantage of when I
Myself
Was a child
My name is not
The way that I'll lay in bed for hours
and cry over you
My name is not
The way that I am always sad
My name is not
The way that I bash myself
My name is not
**Something you know

Here I am
now armoured
swinging my
broadsword
Come at me now
(pointing at your heart)
"Which limb can you afford?"
You know me
so well
You assumed I'm dirt
but can't you tell?
I'm better than that
I'm dirt mixed with tears
baked in the Sun
now just as rock solid
as your own moral fears
I drink
(like a fish)
I smoke
(like Ash Wednesday)
I even still
gasp
have... S E X
with my bloke!
My river of sorrow
compares not
to your puddle
you've still not
understood
how to sidestep,
my ocean of Joy
is bigger than
your sky
but, I bet
that one day
when you aren't looking
I'll still be standing
while you are on your knees
cupping your useless nuts
just sooking!

Consumer of hearts,
You eat them alive.
They beat as they trudge down your throat.

Your prisoners
climb and attempt to escape.

You are ruthless.
Cold-blooded.

I should know.
You have mine.
Like this for the heart to turn red.

You told me before
you are my angel,
my love, my savior
and together we'll soar


Did you believe me when I
told you this that night:
to me you are the most
beautiful girl to ever exist


and i could not compare you
to anything in this world

On our last day you told me
*you were my angel,
my love, my savior
I'm sorry
   I made you soar
       alone
you said you're the butterfly. yes you are. a beautiful one. but you were my angel too. now you have fallen.

Trying not to let the ocean drown me
Trying not to let the sheets smother me
Trying not to let the fingers strangle me

But it doesn't seem to matter what I do
Where I run or hide doesn't seem to help
Because no matter where I go
No matter where I look
Everything is out to get me

to everyone who's calling me....*i am no longer the person you're looking for.
Still breathing but feeling like the dead. Living life on autopilot until I get so anxious i shake.
A poet in love
Is a match soaked
In gasoline.

we're just friends
and i don't know if you
know about i feel for you
but if you do
and the feeling isn't mutual
please just pretend that you
don't know anything
