Lysistrata
I was an innocent drawn to the broken and emotionally dead.
Like a moth to a flame I flew straight into my death.
The personification of fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
I think sometimes
about the thing lost
inside that bar bathroom stall

And about the blood
that had flowed effortlessly
in brilliant, shiny-red globs.

I said goodbye then—
to the accident I never wanted
or even knew existed.

with the stars as my witness
i promise to love thee
above anything else
without bounds
forever and always

My wings once were clipped
My skin once was ripped
Presently on my chest
Only the scars are left.

The lock has been broken
The door has been opened
The chains have decayed
The rope has been frayed.

You’d think I’d fly free
But I can't - you see,
My heart is long aged
So instead I stay caged.

Having many friends
doesn't guarantee
that you might still feel
lonely.
dark nights
darker times
existence
since you left my life
hard to breathe
speak in goodbyes
got no more will
and no more fight
left in me
so in the dark i cry
i pray to whatever's out there
to let me die
i'm broken and worn
and already dying inside
i can't manage
to do one thing right
have mercy on me
squeezing my eyes tight
hoping when i open them
i'm covered in light
Bay
The man
who kept
his emotions
at bay
drowned
in them
all
one

Monotone
I am too emotional.
I am overbearing.
I am too reliant.
I am simply too much.

That's what you say.
And that's alright.

I love you,
but sometimes I wish I didn't.
Sometimes I wish to escape,
but that's the part I keep to myself.
