Shaylie
So righteous are you
Pointing your divine finger
That you selfishly avoided
Your very own mirror

And so distracted
you will fall into the flames
You apparently so fear
For others

Everyone is equal here
In the eyes
Of our god.
Darling!
I dipped my simple verses
In full of emotion
Hoping to drown you in it.

Colm
Catch me
Like a Firefly in a glass tomb
Like a candlelit flame in a dark room

I am narrative alive and well
Time reincarnate
And I give myself most humbly forward

Charred and broken at both ends
Until my own ashes turn lie and truth
I burn on every living tongue for you
God bless the words which avail to me, and actually want to be spoken.
Gravity moves the river
Resistance helps shape it
The edge gives its shiver
But the fall is what makes it

when i get like this
             the way i am
i dont wanna talk to people
i wont respond to your texts
           or emails
                or your messages
not because i dont wanna talk to you
but because i dont wanna talk
