St john wants me dead
Madison Tomes Dec 12
I have ten tiny candy hearts
Each one on one
Balanced in the air
Crocodiles teeth rot
They cry and sob in tears
They make the river salty
Complaining of no more candy
I watch and shake my head
The deals that must be made
Require no more candy
As i climb down off the ledge
about losing friends and moving to optionally cutting them off. I felt suffocated by this

Dream date
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Words melt in the walls
Covered in paintings
Made of you
Made of me
Yours are beautiful
Careful strokes
Each of such precise yet casual calmness
The motion of your hands
They swing and move in such ways of a ballerina
Ones of a mother easing her child to a deep sleep
They recreate a sky that took so many billions
To become one of which it is now
You bring it into your own reality within moments
The lovely lights glow on a cotton canvas
Making music with the latex
darkening what's surrounding it
But me?
Mine are ugly
I leave rotting flesh in the daylight
Spred the shine of blood and paste the teeth of past fighters, veterans
They form the sight of ****** tires leaving streaks on asphalt
The animals that peel off roads, screaming with one last breath
in through your nose, out through your mouth
I'll hold you close and speak
"Let it melt in your mind"
"spit it out and light it up"
lets do it
together
we can burn the truth
Then we can take the melted remains
And make a balanced gallery
A museum made for 2
this poem took me about 3 months to properly write. the first draft started poor. the words felt bland and weak. I feel this new writing is much more descriptive.

Helmet full Of puke
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Little space explorer
Black hole full of my heart
every Rocket holds him in the exhale

I Used too adore a take-off.
Thrilled as can be

But he took that to the stars
now i dont know if i can breath

wall covered in burns
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Time burns so bright
Candles in a red room
Skin on skin in blackness
The flame eats, it destroys the wax
Climbing and clinging to the silk

Time burns so bright

He wears his rags so highly
Day one day two and nightly
Sun rises and his head falls
A dull thump against the floor

Time burns so bright
I roll over and i groan
Morning was way too soon
Night always seems too late
A sharp pain in my skull  reminds me

Time burns way too bright

Music
It gets me through,
Hearing others express how i feel
Grief
Confusion
Relationships
Friendships
All thoseā€¦
more.

Expressions being expressed
Doesn't work
I speak in crushed riddles
With cracks
And quick unprepared responses
That were shoved out because i haven't spoke in hours
excited for company
came off awkward
            Just liked the feeling of a conversation
Life is like that
And music lets me communicate and exist
It's what i lean on
this I wrote in middle school. I was so lonely so when I found out music helped I wanted to communicate that, thanks spotify (online music player) for being there.

Gold digger
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Gold sprinkles from the ceiling
Green seeps from my eyes
Scent of sweet water in the air
I feel fair in yellow
Head to toe
A monster of glistening lights
Im ugly yet you love me
I adore how money blinds
again experimenting with more styles and feelings.

Bed again
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Here i am in bed again
10 feet in too deep again
tiny scars and fixed up cuts again
Paper opends it back up again
It Paints my nails way too red again
Bandages from friends again
I tear them off because they burn again
The scent of stress hangs in the air again
I close my eyes because it blinds again
Here i am im home again

think im going back to bed again
made during another tough time during my life. felt really good about how this ended up sounding. I find the rhythm really nice.

Drained
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Peach peels and sticky fingers
Blanket pulled from a cooking body
Its worthless
Rotting full of maggots of poison
Im growing flowers
Bright greys
Unseen by any
Eyes protrude from my ankles
They see the rainbow
They watch the blood drip
How it sinks into the floor
Sipping
made during a really tough time. I really enjoy making poems that feel like this. I find it fun to experiment with

Sparkle
Shine
Tie me to your rocket
Let me shoot across the sky

Let the fumes infect my brain
The fire melts my flesh
It drips in the color of

Bathroom mirror
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Soapy hands
Frosted future
          Pure icelantic
Beauty

Memories fade in water


But grow and form with
Pressure

Resilient    but fragile
I'll never be a diamond

Complications
Madison Tomes Dec 12
Never have things seemed so bright
They blind
Never have things seemed so warm
They burn
Never have things seemed so sweet
They rot
Never have things been so kind
Its nice
Keep that
Its simple
