Life's a Beach Aug 2014
Whirlpool of a mind
Syringes, needles,
Line after line,
Brain becomes dust
Movements will rust
And all that's left is
Time
To live
A hole by the ear
The world appears so
colourful
Then, every time, just that bit bleaker
Each line grows steeper
Fear the reaper
Because he doesn't care
If it's your fault or
Just a stage
Because
To him
Age is age
And not necessarily determined
By months or weeks
Or stage
But when
Hands to weak to reach
for water
Familiar enough to light a spliff
Enough of this existence

Can't tell if you exist
When you can't see beyond the smoke
Broken
Used

I could never stop at just one tattoo
To signify you, if
I started,
Because each tribute could
Never come close to the greatest
Symbol:

My skin;

You're in the wrist without scar lines,
The arm without needle tracks,
The dent in my smile,
My mini half dimple and
Every laughter line I could never erase
Frankly, my dear,
You complete my face.

So any tribute;
Any Scorpion
Moth
Pokeball Rose
quote,
Or aptly chosen sloth,
Would never come close to the
Gaps in-between:

You're every drop of blood that has not spilled
You're the heartbeat I couldn't
Still, because your face
Was too hurt in my head.
You're in the fact that I'm not dead.

So, in a way, there's no point etching you into my skin , my derp,
Because, you're already, irrevocably,
There.
(You're even in my uncut hair)

Just hold onto me and dance
before time can eat us
before the world can waste us
in monotony and work
my nose is buried in your neck
and
this hurts
more than cuts and bruises

I'm desperate
but the sound of Freddie Mercury
is singing with us, and to us,
and 'us' can never work
after this song
but for now I belong in your arms
and no one else exists, you lift me
up, we kiss.
I'm gonna miss you

No escape from reality

because you're bad news
and so am I
It's a tie on
who's worse for the other,
my lover
you're *****, but
there's nothing romantic about
my chain around your neck,

open your eyes

but for now beckon me in,
and sing again,
forbidden fruit, sing
in my ear and
steer me into
a cliff face

and see

You're poison, your
voice maple syrup, and
your eye my magnet
We're never going to feel
too loose.
Diamond noose, after this
song, once this
fantasy is gone

I'm going to miss you
Feels a bit rough
Life's a Beach Jul 2014
I know the smell of everyone I've ever loved
wanted
hated
lusted
snorted like a dying drug addicts last meal

My first smelt of deities
a mens deodorant for a boy
who didn't know what he
wanted, but he knew what
he should.
He was sharp, uncertain, his
natural scent masked by an
advert.

My second smelt of fields
the earth was his roll-on
and though he'd mask it in
the oils of men, I knew he
smell of a hearth, hormones
and her heart on his sleeve.
His scent was primal and I
bathed in it's rawness.

My third smells of fire
whatever he's burning,
midnight oil, stress,
nicotine, I can sense it
soaked into his skin with
sweat. Encased in fire,
I suffocate on air nowadays.
He reeks of home, lust, longing

and hope.

And all you can do is try your best,
And all you can hope is that
The rest of the world tries that too

pray you don't bruise easily
And count away your latent anger
1,

2,

3.


And I bet you think that I sound meek
Well I probably do, I'm possibly beat, but
I refuse to be defeated by the hollow
Sad sound of sorrow.

So I'll count my bruises easily

So try to just get by
In peace

Cos you mustn't give to sad
And you shouldn't bow down to the
Bad **** that they play on that
Radio 'just for you'
See you shouldn't give in to sad.

Gotta refind a warm shoulder
Dry your tears
Spill your fears
Lean in and
Find your grin
Again.

I am weak
I'm sometimes meek
But, I'm not beat, because
I refuse to be defeated by the
Sad sound of sorrow,
I'm gonna hear the sun of
Tomorrow

drown that din

breathe in and try

You mustn't give in to sad
You shouldn't bow down to bad

*Just Breathe
Breathe happy hope sad fight
Life's a Beach Jul 2014
As a new chapter
opens
And a new path
Appears
I need to know
Before we tred away
Together
That you were once mine
Completely
And I was once yours
Entirely
So that, should I ever look
Back without you ,

I knew that I was once loved
And I knew that you knew
That you were too.
Because that way there will always be
A pocket of peace
To carry away.
