I exist
on the border
between Reality,
and the Imaginary.

I breathe in belligerent Black,
and Withering whites.
I am incapable of grays,
a gradient of gruesome Grief.

I dance on the Border,
exhaling exuberant fragility,
my border is made of glass.

And I rise from the ashes,
a Byproduct of the
bridges I've burned.
Craving soothing touch,
Yet silently seeking
Incriminating Isolation,
Addicted to my own destruction.

A shattered soul dutifully
Dances on the Border,
Held captive by her sins.
Trapped between Good
and Bad. Happiness
and Heartbreak. Lost
and Found. Death
and Resurrection.

Born on the Border, a
Simple Figment of
Immoral Imagination.

Plastic is my smile
As fake as your affection
I am insincere
So I can pretend to feel loved

Nothing you feel is real
Void is your heart
Shallow is your soul
I manipulate your emotions

Beauty is gone
Manufactured by society
Like sheep, you are blind in fear
To feel anything sincere

Emulating desire
So I can feel full
I only want to be wanted
Desperate for connection

The sweeter you are to me,
the dirtier I will be for you...

So kiss me

fog
wishful, I look through the fog
hopeful, it'd just consume me
thankful, the brisk embraces me
woeful, this is not my epilogue
feeling rather glum this evening

I sit in silence
  Watching all the noise
                Won't you miss this?

This beautiful, unique, never ending, continuously growing mess we created?

I sit in silence
   Listening to all the noise
            Wishing this moment
                          Would never end.

Painful the sky; Your eyes
I looked at you
For answers
You're gone

I watch for your flame
It's out, I'm old
Too late, too real
You should want me

Painful the sky
Bloodshot, tired
Sad and alone
I should excite you

I look for your love
But not to share
You've decided
I don't know why

Painful the sky
Perfectly still
Avoiding mine
I'll miss you
