Struck dead awake
Then pushed off to sleep
As my knife stabs my side
And I silently weep.

My suffering continues
But the emotion dissolves
Like a drop of milk
Inside of an amber marsh.
“It will see me tomorrow,
But for now,” I thought,
“I’ll bid it a good rest.”
True story. I was falling asleep but rolled onto my open pocket knife which I had forgot to close after cutting myself ten minutes prior. My friend is never gonna let me live that one down...

Teardrops streamin' down my face
the emotion explodes right up
tearin' open my weakened pride.

Turn off the sun,
pull the stars from the sky
the more I waste on you,
the more I cry.
I had no idea for a title, so I went with a sarcastic "slick..." Love is weird, sometimes I feel happy to have met her, sometimes I regret it.
Notes:
The first two lines can follow the tune to bites the dust (first two lines of the song
Second stanza (first two lines) is taken from a song, called The Perfect Drug by Nine Inch Nails. I really love that line, so I decided to use it.

The loneliness is killing me but,
Why do I prefer to be alone?

I’m not sick because of love
I’m sick because I have an emptiness
It’s where you fit perfectly
I need to tuck you in tight
Stay there forever in my heart

Her face,
a moonlit visage
shone more light
upon my life;
upon my soul,
than the
solitary moon
ever could.
Yeah... another dumb, lovestruck teen. I wrote this while trying to write something that was more descriptive of the night reflected in this poem.

In over my head,
And it all starts to change.
My air is running out,
I just might as well die.
So I break the ocean,
Rise with it’s tide,
And landing in her motion,
I sail to solace by her side.

I keep typing Dec.2019 by accident...

Ummmm... it’s 2am and I’ve been reading way too much rom-com manga...

Life chained me down with roses.
Gave me a forsaken heart attack,
Let my poisoned blood seep out.
And I watched it all fade to black...

Spinning round and round
For this endless eternity
On this infernally angelic
Carousel of bloodlust and agony.
Inspired by a song called “Bad Apple!!” (idk the original artist)

on the loneliest of nights
the cicadas filled the silence

and when they go away
the thought of you sinks back in

love is clumsy
love is loud

and if this isn’t love
why can’t i hear anything else other than you
