Ovid: Favorites

Dec 2014 Ovid

Haydn Swan

There’s a devil in me trying to raise his face
there’s a god in me trying to put him in his place
a fight to fill the hole in my heart
but the battle is lost before they can start
soul electric, here to stay
pulls me apart need to make them pay
a million volts in a lightning kiss
re-align my core in symmetrical bliss.

A Lonely Road

Dec 2014 Ovid

Drake Brayer

A Lonely Road

The silent sea, sings at night
Softly swaying, waves in flight
The drunken moon, croons so sweet
A melody, to make stars weep
Tears of fire, tears of wrath
Sadness eternal, a lonely path
Bathed in leaves, fallen from on high
Things too yellow, for the bright blue sky
Trampled, still, and caked in mud
Like Broken doves, in a sea of blood

do not date a girl who writes

Natalie

do not date a girl who writes

do not date a girl
who writes.
she will internalize
everything,
carve poems
into your eyelashes
instead of
kissing them,

she will analyze you,
calculate age
from the rings
your coffee cup
leaves
instead of refilling it.

she will memorize
the way your
lips curl around steam,
but not that you
take it
two sugars,
no cream.

she will read your
palm instead of
holding it
against her chest.

she will not
blink
when you leave,
because she is
already
romanticizing it.

Take Me Away

Dec 2014 Ovid

Take Me Away

Take me away-
Distract me from this place.
Stress has overtaken me
My life has forsaken me.
I have just realized,
After all that I've done,
I've become like them.
A mindless robot
With sociopathic tendencies.
I'm begining to malfunction.
Help me,
Take me away.
Fix me.

Veins and Brains And Dreamers

i injected caster sugar into my veins and i’m still waiting for the high to hit. i drew a smiley face on the desk at school and they called me a delinquent and i think they overreacted a bit, and they said that dreamers never go anywhere in life, but i’m writing this on the moon.

part of a story from a while ago

dear ophelia

its cold outside and i cant stop thinking about how warm your arms were last winter and the white breath you exhaled after inhaling toxicity and the hat you lost to the wind on the top of that bridge and your warm lips on my cold nose and how you told me that even if snow fell from the sky it wouldn't fall from the ground but you were wrong because since you left my worlds been upside down instead of right side up and i found your hat in the pocket of my jacket before i left it outside for the wind to take back and the toxicity left from you still resides inside of me and i think your arms no longer hold warmth

ophelia syndrome: becoming too reliant on another that you lose your own identity.
