Swing

I think it's funny
How people try so very hard
To make the spaces between their fingertips count
As if our hands reflected our hearts.

Untitled

I deserve to burn in the hell I've caused

I'll taste the ashes of the burnt ground

Curl my toes in charcoal

I painted everything in black.

Soulful Cigarettes

I'm not afraid of death:

I inhale it.

I'm not afraid of pain:

I inflict it.

Maybe I'm Wrong, But

I guess it seems to me
That falling in love
Is just a prettier way
Of going insane.
And falling out
Is just a more painful version
of ill prescribed pills.

everything's fine

i'm not sweet but i'm covered in sugar.

you're nothing more than an ******* in a nice pair of jeans.

Thousand Dollar Therapy

We're broken with intent.

Calculated cuts run down our spines.

We're starving, for attention.

'Cause smiles cost more than a fortune here, babe.

Better take what you can and, run.

All That Glitters

You are a brand new penny:
Sparkly and bright
Pretty to look at
Worthless to keep
