One cut
Two cut
That's never enough
Three cut
Four cut
That's more like it
But maybe a few more
Would help

Cold, salty droplets
Mixing with the metallic red river
Flowing down my arms

It only stings for bit
Calming me
Easing me
Even just for a bit

But it's never enough
I have to go deep
I have to make another river flow
I crave the pain
I crave the numbness after
I crave the feeling of the river running
down my arms

I find the pit in my stomach
and the tears running down my face.
I feel the tearing of my heart
and the pressure on my soul.

If only I could find a way
to paint a happy girl.
Then I could paint that ******* me
and become the thing you desire.

Instead I find the darkest pit
and fall in to it's comforting blanket.
To show myself the darkest corners
and wish for just a match.

To fall is to be alone and jump
without you there to pull me back.
I can't show you my blackened soul
unless you understand the consequence.

Alcohol and strawberries
will always  remind me of you.
my friends take my phone away
when I'm drunk,
because those are the times i always
want to call you.
I threw up this morning
and the taste came back.
I cried for two hours.
at least it's all out if me.
we kissed in graveyards
and i gave myself to you,
the bruises on my chest were your way of saying
“i like you.”
i would’ve let you destroy me
if you’d asked,
but when i remember
how you kissed me against walls,
i wish i had faded into them.
you were the only reason i had to stay.
and i know oregon will not save me but-
it has less ghosts.
i want saying goodbye to hurt less.
but it’s not that easy.
i try not to care,
i stop smiling when you call,
i say i won’t keep in touch when I’m gone.
but i still cry at 1 a.m.
because you will not find it in your time
to call me.
my little tree,
i love you so much,
but your branches are stretching away from me.
i can’t reach you anymore.
go on, reach the sky.
i will stay on the ground for a while,
one day i can reach the heavens, too.
even if it means,
**forgetting i love you.
there's no romantic feelings anymore between us. i still love you

Big sis, big sis
Oh where have you gone?

We were parted from the start
Joined in the middle
Then ripped apart again

All I ever wanted was my sister near
All I ever wanted was you close

You could of made it all okay
You could of made it all alright
You could of stopped this mess right from the start
You could of helped me through the pain
You could of stopped me form ruining myself

But you couldn't

Oh big sis, big sis
I really need you now

My mind is a mess
My thighs are all scarred
My calfs are too
My eyes are tired
But I don't feel a thing

Oh big sis, big sis where are you now?

You're running out of time
The noose is getting tighter
I'm only a step away from the end

Oh big sis, big sis

If we started this together then this wouldn't be the end

Big sis, big sis just know
I love you
Just know
I miss you

I SLAMMED THE DOOR SO HARD, THAT IT COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF IT'S HINGES,
THE SAME WAY I COLLAPSE TO MY KNEES SOMETIMES.
I SLAMMED IT WITH THE KIND OF FORCE THAT IT  TAKES ME TO LOVE, AND GOD KNOWS I LOVE WITH THE POWER OF EARTHQUAKES AND TORNADOS COMBINED.

Skin to skin
Chest to chest
Our hearts racing
Ready to burst

Gasping for breath as
We lose ourselves
In each other

Sparks zip across my body as you
leave sweet kiss along my neck

Eyelids fluttering as you pull me close
Daring you to go further
Teasing you on
Craving your touch

You're the light to my darkness
My knight in shining armor

You lower yourself upon me as you whisper

I love you

My demons shatter
The darkness fades
The hole in my chest final filling

I whisper back
I love you too
