Well fuck me.
Anna Jul 2013
I woke up,
My body's ******
And I'm a shittastic
Failure.

Hospitality.
Anna Jun 2013
Here, have a cookie
Or really anything
Sweet.
To make up for my lack
Of niceties.

Lavender And Smoke.
Anna Jun 2013
I always smelled of lavender and smoke.
It used to linger on your sheets,
Driving you mad.
"I need you"
Id laugh and oblige,
Until the winter ended and
You didn't want my ice.
I bet I still haunt you in the spring,
When the air is sudenly rich with lavender and smoke.

Sorrow, my secret love.
Anna Jun 2013
I named my pipe
Sorrow.
Because of the way it sits on the edge
Of your lips.
And how some people choke on
Sadness as if it were
Poisoned smoke.
How it coats your lungs with resin
And it weighs
your center down
And although you may
Dispel the tainted air,
Your insides are never quite the same.

Sweets
Anna Aug 2013
Somehow,
       Life goes from stealing
     Sweets
from moms purse
To counting your pills
    And realizing that
        Tables can turn.

Trauma.
Anna Jul 2013
It takes a buzz
for me to be happy
For the feel of any feeling
besides misery and pain
and the carpet
and a little girls shame.
As sad as it is-
these aching old memories
are still a bleeding stain.

My ribs seep
From paled olive skin
Like a curtain
Closed to the show
Within.

Gypsy soul.
Anna Jun 2013
It's my gypsy blood
That makes my soul restless,
old,
and fathomless
To my peers.
It just wants to traverse
The world
And speak in
Secrets.

God, I hate his eyes.
Anna Jul 2013
I chase every mouthful
Of *****
With a splash of
Bright blue eyed
Memory.

Nails.
Anna Jun 2013
I cough on nails
Driven through exhausted
Lungs.
Shivering, bleeding out
If only in my mind.
Anna Jun 2013
Theres nothing like
Making my bed in the military style
(I learned how to in the hospital)
To make me feel
Like I've really got my **** together.

Caring is tedious as hell.
Anna Aug 2013
**** your feelings.
Just
Use me.
Anna Jun 2013
When I was little my uncle was
Shot
And died on the scene.
A cop did it.
My uncle was unarmed.
Murdered
Because of his skin tone.

The Walls
Anna Feb 2013
The walls will whisper everything,
like sinister and scarcity
and hanging by a string-
Or a rope from the ceiling.

Indigo.
Anna Jul 2013
He smells like
The colors of
A saturated midnight
Ocean.
As he walks past,
The impression of rich
Hints
Of jasmine, violet,
Chilly blues,
And tiny sips of grey
Wash over me.
The boy could drown
Himself
In the depth of
His hues.

Pursed lips and bruised hips
Anna Jan 2014
Time is like snow
Dusting my aching, old bones
You're hardly eighteen!
*I know.
Anna Jun 2013
He sent me
'seductive'
Pictures
Of a hip bone
*******
And tongue.
This boy might actually
Be cute.

I want to be Elsewhere.
Anna Jul 2013
My eyes
Are the warm blue-grey of
The moments just before
My beloved Wisconsin sunrise
My veins, just below scared skin
Burn for a breeze
And a day that doesn't feel
Like an old painful memory.
I want to be on my motorcycle.
I want the hazardous road unraveling
Right behind me
Away from that sunrise
Away from the people
Written in my scars.
Anna Jun 2013
I used to laugh
When my friend made fun
Of my wide almond eyes
And sweet soft lips
My ears, that stuck out just a bit too
Much.
He called me an elf girl,
And chased me like a sprite
In the forest.
Anna Aug 2013
Another headache
Splits my brain
And scatters the voices
Thatre my only friends.
Anna Jun 2013
They put a mirror in my bedroom.
I cried
Because it is antique
And my anxiety is horrible.
It's surface makes my veins itch.
It's wretched
And I'm paranoid.
Anna Oct 2013
Kids these days-
We smoke our dreams
So out of touch when it comes to reality,
Set up by machines
And cheap manufactured mortality
Tightened at the seams
To choke out thought and what it means,
Shut up, **** up.
Just sit back and hit that green.
Anna Jun 2013
I like to know names
Because I'm old south
Superstitious
And people are my demons.

He's disheartened.
Anna Aug 2013
”What's your problem?”
”You resist my charms.”
I laugh to myself,
Smile over a glowing screen.
There's no resisting that boys
Eyes
And smooth laugh
Or even the badly placed lip ring,
Like mine.

”I try.”
Anna Nov 2013
Glamour cuts
Are not comparable to love
And
Silver isnt sweet.
Don't touch my scars. And don't you dare put your lips to them. I honestly don't give a ****.

Weariness in mania.
Anna Jun 2013
I'm tired of not sleeping
Because I'm busy in my
Mania.
My bones freeze at three
And there's no one who wants
To calm me down.
Anna Nov 2013
Candle-lit it feels nice
Nights
Start to lace themselves with
Cyanide-
Another boy,
Another bed
But jesus ****
The first is still stuck in my head.

Used but not abused.
Anna Sep 2013
Your breathing chases ghosts away.*
I exhale shotgunned smoke
And laugh at my own words.

Stitches
Anna Mar 2013
I rip the stitches from my ribs
Like a sign of the unclean
and tie the threads behind the ears
of all the people I have seen
your voice still sounds like frost
that coats my faded jeans  
and footsteps spit out fire
while we sizzle and we sting.
Anna Aug 2013
Another cup
Of watered down coffee
My sixth so far.
On a monday filled
With only my own voice
And anticipation
To finally be back home.
Anna Sep 2013
Even her necklace hangs
Like her head
She's awake, but
Probably better off dead.

Huckleberry violet.
Anna Aug 2013
Sadness is a sickness
Turning lips
chapped
And blue.
Anna Jun 2013
I liked the feel of
Hollow needles
And steel
Through my
Heart-shaped lips.
Cold metal
to match the girl
With cold skin.

Jake's ”cute”
Anna Jun 2013
I think you're funny
In ways only madness knows.
Your ego is a fizzy childs drink,
With all of its frivolity.

Blue eyed secret keeper
He held me and was still my reaper
Tequila scythed, taking life with needy fever
I wanted you to love me.
but the broken cannot see.
It's turns out that love is not the only thing I need.

I'm now on anti-psychotics
Anna Oct 2013
Colours pop
And seep too far into my head
Nauseous blues and greens and reds
Tangle thought
And sit in my stomach like lead

I went to the doctor.
Anna Jun 2013
Lamictol
For my BPD,
From years of self-abuse and uncontrollable
Emotion.
Paxil
For anxiety
Because I was always told to be better
Even at my best.
Trazodone
Just to sleep
Because I keep myself awake
Thinking about how ****** up
Everything always was.
My life could be ruled by these three little names
Until I have no more breath
Because I can't even rule my emotions.
Anna Jun 2013
When you open
Your mouth
And work your jaw with yellowed teeth
You **** me off.

So I can give it back
Let me blame you for my *******
While you use what I don't lack.

Junkies
Anna Jun 2013
He said hello.
I licked my lips,
Smiled.
Had to put in effort not to
wrinkle my nose.
I'm good at sniffing out junkies.
Their drugs leave scents
And tastes in my air.
Anna Jun 2013
I am a
Cynical,
Cold *****
Because that's what
You wanted from me.

Her hands were cold
As she passed the bowl,
Knuckles cracked
Her pearl bones were draped
in blue and black
*Dear winter watercolor girl-
Run away.
Don't turn back.

Stop haunting my flesh.
Anna Oct 2013
I can't believe I let you ruin me*
My skin is raw from remembering
The way you captured me
With every sip, hit, drag,
****.

I'm sure you had a nice time,
But this express is now closed
So hop off this ****
And put on some ******* clothes

Sara
Anna Jul 2013
Sara is a dream
With an attitude you won't believe
An addict for advice
She sits alone most friday nights
Spinning suns
And breaking ways
To find a reason not to stay
And live a life
She cannot stand to hold
So pretty in her hands
But quickly breaking down

Body Mods And Smoking Pot.
Anna Sep 2013
Canvas sits in dim lit cars
While silver trails into the stars
My pipe breathes just beneath the seat
Where art and people meet.

Unconscious anxiety.
Anna Jun 2013
In the morning
My throat feels thick
My body aches
My lip bleeds
Because all night I sleep in a tense
Ball, grinding
Teeth.

Silver webs
Spin stories across my arms
That I've never been able
To put to words

Kyle.
Anna Jul 2013
We're both just
Bitter children
Upset with ideology,
Waiting for correction
Or some type
Of answered question
Anna Jun 2013
”Just come home.”
Tears over a hospital phone
”I'll get sober, we'll get better together”
The year after that:
Polish. They're yelling about who owns me.
”Jest moj dziewczynka!”
spit flying, he grabs me by my hair
I'm bleeding,
He wreaks of pills.
*And now,
Family absolved
We're separated again by miles and states
Of wellness and
Addiction.
And for once, I'm okay.
