i hate all the things i have done so far
nothing feels right

in my stomach
a peach pit full of dread
a swift shock of fear
a perfectly placed punch
to the softness that sits at my core

listless -
am i lying to myself?
cowering in the corner
creature-like
with hands covering eyes

sorting -
separation of this feeling
from my true center
is taking energy
that i'm unsure i have

the vaguest memory
I beg to remember

walking down
the flickering hallway

light blue gown
gently kissing the floor

heels clicking as the
sound echos

a hollow song of darkness
humming me to sleep

grab me and pull me in
let me fall into the depths
sinking into your eyes fixed upon me
the air rushing by
yet teacups don't zoom by
floating in air
right above me
eclipsed by your wide smile
eyes glowing bright
from out of the billowing smoke
brought to a land
not quite right
a place somewhat different
no road maps or signs
just blood-colored roses
and rabbits and times
you make me go mad
and together we fume
like teapots to boil
at the table more room
you ****** me with glances
and our fantasies
you might as well
wear a label that says
"eat me"
inspired by Alice in Wonderland;)

ever get that feeling
that you don't want
anyone to decide
who they think you are...
that you want to crumple up
the page of yourself
in everyone's mind
and title yourself

If...
promise= a lie
always= sometimes
forever= for now
love= playing games

then... I will sometimes play games with you, for now.  I lie.
