Perfection

i have always tasted too much like heartache
******* flooded sense of smell
my heart beats fast for someone so dead inside
chipped teeth form cracked smile
i have never been close to perfect

Intoxication

i'm so used to the withdrawals
they almost taste as sweet as the initial fall

i'm so sick from getting high
or maybe it's because i keep saying i'll get sober

i always taste like rust and blood
because i can never stop biting my lips
or maybe i just forgot myself out in the rain again

i can never stop picking at the skin around my fingernails
how long have i been trying to claw myself out of this body

nightmares
are crawling into bed alone
wrapping my arms around your ghost

i'll hold you until you feel safe
always

my mom won't look at me anymore
says stretched ears is a mutilation she just can't stand to watch
like six years of slit wrists was
she doesn't talk to me most days
and she still doesn't respond when i tell her i love her
but i guess if i had to choose
i would rather be invisible

my dad laughs a lot
but he doesn't look happy
and his breath always smells like bourbon
our house always smells like smoke
and i'm just waiting for it to burn down

my brother thinks he's funny
he laughs just like my dad does
as if these are things to joke about

and everyone says i'm too sensitive
that i can't stand the way a pair of unwanted hands
feels on my skin

this is for thursday morning
tangled up in bed
we left our clothes on last night
and i was almost high enough
to tell you i love you

this is for burnt wrists
and i know it stings in the shower
sometimes i am too afraid to even hold you
how pathetic

but you still kiss me
like maybe one day
we'll be okay

my lips travel down your neck
there is so much of you that i have not yet met

it's too early in the day to be drinking
but i am trying to find the courage to tell you

there is so much i do not have to offer you
that i am still willing to give

Your List

you always kiss me one of two ways
like the world is ending
like you are hungry for a feeling just out of your reach
or like maybe you could love me
2 you are the only thing i have ever wanted more than getting high
3 i could find you in tears and you would still be more worried about me
4 you do not demand anything from me
you know i take time
and you're willing to wait
5 you always say you’re proud of me
even if it is only for staying alive
6 i am so proud of you for everything
and i am so glad you are alive
7 I want you to know
you don’t owe anyone ****
no matter what they say
8 after everything you still make me nervous
my palms are sweaty and i swear my heart could race right out of my chest
and i have never been happier

you're like a drug
no, sweeter
and you never left a bitter taste in the back of my mouth
see, you always pick me up when i've been feeling down
and maybe i'm just hooked on you
you carry me through days i can't even bother standing up to
and i'm only sad when you're not here
ok yeah, i might be hooked on you
but i think that's okay because the worst withdrawals only last a night
and i am that much happier once you're back in my system
i crave the way you taste
and how bad you **** me up
but not as much as i crave waking up beside you
mornings after you are never groggy

you're like a drug
no, better
because you've only ever been good to me
and I don't need ******* to feel invincible anymore
the way you smile at me is enough
and I swear the rush i get when you kiss me
is always going to feel better than crashing
see, the way you touch me drives me crazy
and I have never felt so good

sorry I said you were like a drug
when you are so much better

you taste like my favorite candy
so sweet i almost can't stand it
but you're sneakier than you'll admit
and i'm easy to convince
see
there are things you say to me
that i cannot stand
and they are not sweet
but it's not a lot of work to get what you want from me
i'll never tell you how i feel

Tonight, we tipped the scales.
The ones hidden between our emotions.
the ones embossed in our actions.
Weighted more or less with each choice of word or sliding of our hands;
Sometimes we longed to push them to see how far they'd go without tipping.
Sometimes we expected nothing,
but often times we saw that the wager made, out weighed itself so that the price of humility was more than enough to pay for the price of romance.
A brush of your hand against my arm, my voice hanging on the rim of your ear.
the smile of your face as I rubbed my thumb against your tear.
With each new dare we gave ourselves, we found ourselves out numbered by the emotions we bare.
Love, desire, a sense of passion cooled by blankets that serves as feudal resistance to the inferno inside, because the war we waged could turn a nuclear winter into a spring day.
the only price to pay was for a somatic spell.
sparing no time, knowing our conscious is guilty of our crime
we said it
nothing sounded more decadent
Than the thought that tonight we decided.
Lets change this.
