Love me for my destruction, for my mayhem --
after all, loving you isn't so much different,
I could have chosen cigarettes, smokey ashtrays over your
smokey eye make-up,
Or maybe alcohol, sip at lukewarm beer, and become embittered by how
your lips are stained elegantly wine,
and then again, I might've had the opportunity to inhale car exhaust
but your breath is much heavier than monoxide
and much more deadly--
turns out nuclear warfare is much more easily attainable by
your explosive needs
for genocide -- you love those broken hearts,
you little radioactive succubus.
Knives, I could have made love to a knife, but I guess your nails served the same purpose, you've left your mark, okay?
I have a target in the shape
of little crescent marks on my back from you and
people keep
staring.
And yes, I could've injected myself with something stronger like morphine, but
you're already running through my ******* veins --
I looked up "infatuation" in the dictionary but the words kept
blurring because all I could see was your blushing expression
when I used my fingertips like paintbrushes
on your cheekbones.
am i a ******* for wanting to run back into your arms
I screamed at my mother
until my voice hurt 
I knew I was crazy
but I was so scared
she looked at me 
like I was
her cup of coffee 
that had spilled
I’m afraid
I can get in trouble 
for being afraid
following the dog days 
when you dogged me 
in all ways 
nothing kept me grounded
I forgot about the earth
heart was electrified
need for sleep unrecognized
I walked towards 
who I left for you 
hoping that if 
I slept with him 
you'd hear about it 
you’d be jealous
when you called me
button 
you were really saying 
you couldn’t join two parts 
without my help
now you can only
text me when 
you’re alone 
unlike when
you needed me 
to keep your hole 
from tearing
apart
The day I realized that it was okay to be upset at my ex and a fight between the only person I have left, my mother, ensued.

The scar on my hand
from the raspberry thorns
I don't want it to fade

because it reminds me
that I was willing to bleed
for the chance to be by your side

-h.w.

I hope you realize the mistake
you made
when you broke a poet's heart

My heart is an ink well
and you are my feather pen

-h.w.
Feeling broken and powerful tonight

Buried my face deep
in your hair and mumbled soft
words that make me shy

in the bathroom.
palms sweating, heart racing.
in the mirror.
eyes screaming, hard breathing.

as my emotions overwhelm me;
crashing down like a thousand seas.
my reasons to live diminish.

'what the **** is it gonna take for you to understand?'
'where is your control Rachael?'
'your life is disappointing beyond words.'
words from the people I love.

i try, i'm trying.
i lie, i'm lying.
but i tried, i promise.
no i lied, i'm sorry.

one more time i'll cry,
because i no longer have the strength to get by.
it's a ******* pain to be a pain..
so why not end it all?

blade in hand, wrist in sight.
my only wish is to end my plight.

so selfish, so selfish.
think about those who care for you.
i don't give a ****.
i swear for this is what they wish.

sitting in my blood with my demons..
fully aware that they have won.
could've swore i heard them say to Satan..
'this time we have her, it's nearly done.'

losing consciousness, i smile..
on my way to hell.
hey, i'll see you in a while.
you know it,
i can tell.

-{r.r.r.w}
for the ones who know how to get to me, my wonderful family.
