My skin burns at eyes and my heart winces. Im like a turtle, retreating back into her shell, hiding from the glare of the sun. Long enough and it starts a fire.

Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld. Rearranging the decor at deaths door, she took the man by the hand and started dancing in the despair. Reborn was her body, growing mold in her hair, pomegranate seeds in her teeth. Hell hath no fury like a woman accustomed there.

You never hear about third chances. Im scared there's no such thing.

And the people who are extensions of you breathe monoxide and speak with the sound of shrewd drills. I can't help but hear your voice through their wreckage.

And when I tuck you in at night, I hope you feel safe, wrapped tightly in my locust lullabies.

I use to believe in life after death
Nowadays I feel lucky to believe in life while Im still living it

As long as the stars return to your eyes
Ill follow you to sun down
I'll walk with you to eternity
And make the heavens regret ever questioning us

This love is ours,
I hope to be a greenhouse
Our love growing and dancing in the sunlight
We will keep this love safe
We will not only be preserved, but we will flourish

Lilith
Tender Shadow
Reckoning of will
Big girl with little girl fire
Tantrum turned Sapphire
Face the drums
Feel the beat
Fight back with such intensity
Kiss the ground when you leave
Feel her sacred earth return to you
When you turn around, it will be the flames that you see

I want to give you infinity. Bloom immunity. This could be our forever.

Half full is our glass
Easily cracked but not easily broken
Id consume you but then
Nothing would be left to show
Half full and no place to go

Everything has lead to you
Time and time of passing glances
Coincidences aren't a fairytale
But they lead me to mine
And you, my prince, are the only one who has made me believe in fate

And the thought of her stains my mind, she's like the muse youve been looking to find.  And to her- I cannot compare, the beautiful girl with flowers in her hair.

When Heaven says 'no more entrance', Hell's going to start taking volunteers

Forever in love,
Your eyes are the hands of time
Holding me gently

It feels like the more I know you the more I know myself. That shows the beauty of love. I find all my hidden secrets in your abysmal heart. Each and every beat whispering to me "Rest, You're at home now".

People who ache to escape from our reality, wont be the ones to listen to our reason or logic.

How am I suppose to convince myself that a lifetime with you is enough? How am I suppose to convince you that a moment with you is too little? If eternity was a promise, Id make it. If yesterday was a free pass, Id let go of it all. I see clocks in your eyes, they're stuck on midnight, perpetually starlight. Im high on my hopes, seeing crazy things. Things like our next life together.

I learned to keep a blanket in my car because even on the good nights, the walls of my house shake, threatening to crash down on the life inside of it.

Why is the air still at the witching hour. Is stillness magic or power? Why does the daylight hold you easier? Simpler. Are empty words better while awake or asleep? Are dreams a cry for help, Are the words exchanged between lovers? Are you asleep or just floating when you tell me what lies in your cavities? When you empty yourself of those words does it feel lighter, simpler? Are we alive, awake, or just concious? When you face the moon and spill your secrets to her does she smile? Or does she sit and wait until your confidence turns her sunshine? Do you expect me to follow her?

Gone are the fears of being alive, you watered this small, malnourished maple for years now and it has become a great example of living.

Lets go away
Away
To wake up in a different day
Today;
A break we must take, let's,
Lets
And forever the sunrise will chase our run
Run

Give my heart wings and a malleable mind and to you, my sun, I will always find. A compass through the dawn, a ring for the rest, when you are gone, Ill remember the beat of your chest. Burn up slow, call it passion or desire, ashes through the air, my love for you is like playing with fire.

Gone forever are the days of our youth, only are we corralled towards the now, yet living in our yesterday.

You can't escape the pain so learn to become a fire eater, swallow the flames, force them down your fragile frame. Breathe the smoke, clogging its way up your throat. Burn from the inside out.

I thank the universe for letting me come to know your starry kaleidoscope eyes. Not long until the overhead shower of starlight is over.

I abandoned all of me to make room for you, and at the end of it all, I lost you too.

Down with the liars and sinners, Praise be the honest few left, Gone but not lost to the demons in their heads

How do you hold the weight of the world on shoulders made of soft feathers. Collides into it and collapses, but once its gone, rising again as if it has never known pain.

I was always more scared of being abandoned than I was of being destroyed.

What a relief it'd be, to fall asleep in the sea, and my lungs would fill up, with watery debris, so no more could you hear, my deafening pleas, and goodbye it would be, or God so help me.

Sometimes its in my best interest to not be.

Better to have a stark reality than a fragmented facade. Rather you leave arms open than mouth closed. Say Gods name when you leave,  not refuge but defamation. Put your loyalty into your spite for me. At least you can stay consistent with it there.

Sometimes I wake up drunk on daylight's dawn, sending you my intoxicated love letters through brisk mourning air, grieving everything we couldve been.

Cling tight, fear of falling, fear of flying, fear of being, and fear of leaving. I cant stay without wanting to leave and I cant leave without wanting to stay. You hold me and I push. You push and I cling. Always wanting what I cant have. Life calling for me and me clawing at it in response.

I kiss the tip of your nose while my leg is thrown over your weary bones. Smiling, knowing that Im the one who gets to see this part of you, falling asleep mumbling your lullaby locutions with I love yous twirled around your tongue.

Ill always be the fool,  throwing my heart in the air hoping you catch it when it falls.

Your teeth on my neck sent shivers through my body, quietly knowing one day your smile would be for someone else.

I am a feminist
Feeling fenced in
in a gender binary
fenced in a ****** binary
so people dismiss my Bi
No ally can stop that without listening
Listen with your ears and if you can't hear
listen with your eyes. Know that I don't need to prove my Bi
Yemen child brides, committing homicide
building graveyards inside of themselves
Acid attacks, police and blacks
**** is asked for
Jews are gassed more
Conversion therapy
People can't see through the Trans*parency
Gender roles wrapped up into us
Making us feel trapped making us adapt
A is not for Allys
A is for Ace or Aro
Thrown with a bow I miss the target
cast into the shadow
Lesbians are loved stripped down
but not in the gown
appreciated more with their mouths shut
and no ones mind open
They chose to be blind not see with their eyes
hear with your ears
hear the gunshot or the scream from the queer kid
who is bleeding, smiles were misleading
thought they were happy
Thats because we stigmatize mental illness
I feel the stillness of progress
My anxiety is as bad as the start
I've been told that l'm not being smart
but I know my voice is a work of art
We whitewash the shadow
using bleach to whiten skin
drinking bleach when that skin isn't light to begin
I am a feminist

You demanded me to rip a bandaid off an open wound while it was still bleeding. Blood soaked and dried, stuck to my body, staining my curtains, clothes, pillows. Not even being able to lay my head down without being reminded of blood spilt without a shield to save myself from the pestilence the world holds. Rotten, stiff air infecting us all slowly.

Its okay to walk someone home, just make sure you know the way back.

Heartbeat reborn out of fear. Heavy thump in my chest like a lead metronome. Keeping time to your footsteps as you walk out the door. I would rather die than watch you leave. Yet here I am, staring at you, frozen in fear. My coffin lined mouth shrill, asking you to not go.

He tastes of the ocean, I have been craving it for so long, I know the salt will drain me but Im still parched, so I keep returning for another taste, praying for it to be sweeter this time, drowning in my cravings for nothing more than saltwater stinging my mouth.

Blue Eyes
Blank Stare
Doesnt want me
Doesnt care
Says I love you
Doesnt show
When its over
He will go

I remember staying until 2 am with you. We were planning to watch the meteor shower but time got the best of us and we were caught up in laughter and lingering touches. I left my gaze on you for just a second too long and you asked me why I was looking at you like that. I said there was no reason. But I remember thinking that I didnt need a star to wish on that night because what I always wanted was in front of me.
