I often wish you met me first.

If only we met before
they gave you promises of desire
they were never sure they'd keep,
before they used you
to fill their boredom in between.
I wish there was a way you'd
let yourself love me,
or try to.

I want to give you
anything and everything
you could ask for.
But you only strip off the parts
that you feel can't hurt you.
I can only guess that
the part of you that wants me too
is the same part that doesn't want to
lose yourself in someone else like them.

I just wish you met me first.
I know you'll never give me a chance, but I can't seem to stop wanting one.

you hear the crash
shattered glass
shards fall like tears
and scatter like ashes
sharp angles glitter
glitter and shine

don't touch
don't help
don't salvage
don't hold


do not touch the glass
you'll smudge the reflection
leave prints
don't leave prints
when you let go they'll be left behind
burning deep into the fibers
like hands holding embers
like scars of war
cuts will leave scars
so

don't touch
don't help
don't salvage
don't hold


the broken glass leaves stains on your hands
on your clothes
on your mind
on your heart
blood pumping
blood pouring out
blood run cold
more than a fracture
jagged edges that will never fit the same

so *don't touch me*.

Hot puffs of breath that steam in the crisp air are all I can focus on

Your harsh footsteps faded to to a soft crunch that barely registers

Your melodic voice is nothing more than a glorified hum

You are dissipating
Like steam

The temporary clouds forming from your lips
Are the only thing you have left to give me

And they are just as fleeting as your love
Strangely fond of this one.

They say the eyes are
windows to the soul..
So why are yours so empty?

I'll take a bitter kiss
if it heals the pain in my chest.
Bed-sheets stink of hate and unrest;
My nostrils fill with the smell of blood.
Hers. Mine. Ours. It smells like regret.
   But all is well;
It must be for the best.

Still I'll take a bitter kiss
over a night of hateful, fierce ***
  If it heals the pain in my chest,
  If it's what you think is best,
  If it calms this weary flood.
                                            These sheets stink of blood.
                                             Cut me until I cannot heal;
                                            Steal me until I cannot feel.
           Then I will rest, alone in a field
                                  of scarlet flowers
                              and azure starlight
                                     and no regrets.

Four walls of white
Looking so wide
While slowly they're closing in.

Lips shut tight
Not a mumble or a sound
The door just won't open.

The Windows have bars
And the tiles are falling
What ever happened to the light?

I'm in a box with one way in,
No way out,
This is not alright...

It's getting cramped.

Look at these walls
They've just turned black..
left all alone
Yet, with a Feeling of being attacked.

I'm scared.

Please don't come tho,
You may be next.

Paying for a sin
That is I.
And just like that
The walls collide.
I'm just feeling kinda down today.
Sorry.
