I wear my heart on my scarred and tethered sleeve
I rest my heart under my favorite shirt
The one I bought for a day out

That never panned out

I dangle my heart over a juxtaposition of what was once you and me

Clearly
I'm qualified to handle my issues
Alone

Behold all the moments I cried out for help and not one soul listened

I debated suicude
Along side my mothers guidance

I buried my heart under all those back & forth arguments
Steming from voids we shall not cement in truth

Her and I are better now
I dabble in silence towards backtalk and a slick tongue

Sometimes her volume still demands too much from my teetering patience

But ****** I love her

Like I loved them

Fragrance

A gift today
A scent long forgotten

A heart beat tranquilizer
That's what love foretold

When you lose someone
You wonder
What it'll take to reel them back in

To foresee a journey

Another one entails fashionable corruption

Mind boggling desecration

I lost to who
I lost two
I lost too many times

Only when you've lost everyone, you gain yourself

A carousel fairytale ride
Each roundabout
Noticing loss of smiling faces to each child
That's my life to this point summed up entirely

Each yearly roundabout

You're becoming farther out of my reach
I preach to the masses you become farther without the first "r" for me

I'm ready to wear my heart revamped and revealed
For everyone to caress and undress

Peeling away my surrender

I rest my heart on yours

Going at it alone
It's not unnessacary
     Just unwanted
Not ideal

Climb inside my cat tongue

Glass shards chewed to grinds of sand 

Numb mouth appraisal
                 Saliva
      Red ocean
Desolate salt
Burning wounds that heal and
beautifully scar

Smile lavishly
And unwind to cope unbridled pageantry

    Climb
In my infectious bed

A
Women's
Choice of  another
Man

Value the worthless
And purchase the free

Envy towards treason
Begging of reason
                                     Foward
In translation
As to why
It isn't you
Where they
       Lie

Breeding conversations
That silence Moans to

Quivering, a last place
Talent show performance

Climb inside my cacoon of birth
Nourishment of a soul bent on destruction
Fair legs, whiskers abandoned

A ritualistic burial
Caved in wonder
Surrendering wealth for serenity
Decapitation of envy
A Conqueror beast
and coward in the same vessel

Suicide hides elated frenzy

Climb
Inside my request of forgiveness
                       In all
My clouded and mistaken innocence.

I force creativity
Squeezing juice
From the most sour lemon

I untangle withered bonds within myself

Sacred and unscathed

Naked

Myself
Mundane

I found a reflection and it looked like a happier me

Naked

Socialite ideals

Sustain value

A Legendary secondary obituary

I've gotten better at conjuring conjuctions

Because
no one told me otherwise

But
who knows

Where
no one is

Unless
No one is

Everyone

Or

Everyone

Is

No one

While
I'm

Someone

Where
is my

One?

I

Dont see no one

And
I wont leave until I

See Someone

Fellowship wanderer.
Longing a basket of mended smiles and screams of loyalty in chastised promise.

Victory shall be granted to you when you've lost everything dear.

Don't step outside today, friend.

Love inside.

For you shall win today.

Chasing the sun
Decayed Trees

Fevered Buildings

Chasing the sunset

Maddening isn't it

I've seen the same road and I glide amongst it
Not bitter

Not feverish
Cold and wet

Soggy yet
Subdued

Broadening your voice with my tongue

A Game of wonder and amazement
Dont chase what's not running
Chase the sunset

I think you misunderstood my blunt force trauma

You saw an act of violence and deemed it

Cold And Cruel

You saw aftermath

The premise would sway your perspective

Moments ago
As I was walking down the crosswalk
      I made eye
             contact with this man
I
                             Said hello with
            A smile
And he said
                                      Hi with a smirk

Year of decadence
Faring in minuscule commraderie
Regarding the fundamentals of life and her excrusciating truth

There's desire to be lied to
Ne'er knowing

Untrue banish silently
Keep the beggar of gradeur loud
Aroused in kindled emotion
Very
The treachery devised of vivid dreams
Awake
Bury
Falling from the cliff you captured on Vacation as a Wild child
Reaching the bottomless pit that keeps you sinking like it missed you so
Haunting you until you frighten it away
And its fearless
Last epoch

The dead decay a vicious smile
They made it out alive

We're still here surviving, dying

We 
Soldiers of peace
Exists in our ears
Noise of
War quotes from the madmen veterans
Bolstering of pride and dignity in their ongoing
Neverending fight
We ask, "What did you fight for?"
They remembered once
Forgotten twice in months

They
Scared of their own fingers that once pulled triggers
They cannot hold their own anymore
Mold the home
To warms their bones
She's kept em fed with crumbs of a sandwich
Crying cold tears as we were born alone
Ain't life a....
