Yesterday I saw you at the store
Aisle 3 or was it 4?
Memories came flooding back
As my blood turned cold and black

Our eyes interlocked and we both knew
Our past together was just too blue
So you turned around the other way
Without anything to say

Your sudden presence was a shock
And the way you just turned and walked
You will forever haunt me like a ghost
And that's what scares me the most
Annie Nov 2012
Your stale insides crack under the pressure

Of my cautious advances

Skin on skin is only so meaningful

When mind on mind applies

And I'm trying to glue these ripped images together

Pictures of what we could be

But it just is not right

Cold lips cold hands

Cold silence between us

Like a brick wall piled over the sunlight

Goosebumps paint my skin when you speak

And my heart races when our elbows brush

And our glances mean more than the day

But the only attribution you seem to strive for

Are the physical components of this equation

Touch

Feel

Does the metaphysical element of it all not squeeze your mind?

Why must you stay in the tangible realm of things?

worms
Annie Apr 2013
there are words crawling under my skin itching to get out

and dying to infest your ears, devour your brain

but I do not dare let that happen

some things are better left unsaid
(or are they)

so I let them eat me instead

Self Pity
Annie Nov 2012
waiting

what am I waiting for

I'm never good enough

my words are vacuous

I pretend they aren't

I act like they mean something beautiful but my words are empty and you can try to wring them out

hope that some meaning drips from the dried out shell

but I can promise you they are useless

and how do you expect me to be okay with myself when the only way I am given to communicate is faulty and the connection is bad

I speak like the static on tv channels, hardly any singal

and the fuzziness dominates over the show

it would probably be best if you change the channel, because the connection is lost

I am so lost, and coming after me is of no use

I'm already far too gone

drifting in and out of sanity

in and out of those static channels

if you come after me youll just become lost too

I'm a disease, I'm contagious

just turn back while you still can

Annie Nov 2012
i am angry
blood shooting through my veins like a drugged up ****** addict
relapsing
and my hands are trembling

face; hot and red
you are standing there
******* clueless, in out of your head
and I can not think of the words to say

the splinters on your tongue
are poking my eyes
and the daggers in my words
tear apart your lies

but this is not how I wanted to live
glass breaking, heart shaking
mental violence
hate making

i want to make love to all your imperfections
throw my body into that sad excuse for a soul
and find a reason to stay
give you all, even though I'm not whole

but I am mad
and you are broken
and i don't think I can fix you

scars
Annie Dec 2012
you kissed my scars
one by one
your lips gently pressed against my skin
you kissed until my scars were none

the broken flesh was replaced by
all of the little
reasons why
i am starting
to fall in love
with you

waiting rooms
Annie Feb 2013
i think i'm in the 'waiting' mentality
you know that one where
you know what you want and that's not where you are
and everyday is a waiting room with outdated
magazines and ticking clocks on the wall
the people don't interest you and the paint color
is the most blasé hue in the spectrum
but i am waiting
for my name to be called
by a person holding a clipboard
for anything at all really

Parallels
Annie Nov 2012
I have the most unsettling feeling trembling inside me
It is not so much an emotion, but some type of cruel paradox
That can most accurately be described like this:
I am silently full of din
Yet when I feel compelled to be productive, my body shuts down
Like a power plant, whose cords have been violently frayed
I am unstably happy despite my infamous droning sadness
Of which exists only when given permission
But such authority has no name
I want to die with such life
And live as if I am dead
Which is nonsense nonetheless
Nurtured by my inconsistent head

Healing Process
Annie Apr 2013
I
broke
my
record player
today
That's also
the day
you broke
my heart
The
songs
keep
skipping
and repeating
Stuck in my head

4 months later and
I am sitting across from you
But the record player must
have mended itself

It's no longer repeating
And you no longer break my heart

I Hate You
Annie Dec 2012
I am writing these words
To rid you from my bones
Because you have carved your face into my head
And burned holes in my hands

I no longer wish for you to tag along
In my thoughts
You are a parasite that feeds off of my soul
And this darkness is begininning to hurt

My body is tying knots around my insides
The rope is turning me blue
I have never hated anything
As much as I do you

My heart is collapsing under the weight
Of your memory
I desperately want to hollow out myself
To scrape away the residue that you left me

Contradictions
Annie Jan 2013
You know how they say "if you repeat something enough it loses its meaning?"
I've woken up everyday for the past 16 years; it's losing its meaning
but they also so if you tell yourself that it will be okay over and over again,
it's bound to be just that

I am okay

I am okay

I am okay

I am okay

I'm okay, but it's losing its meaning.

Shooting Stars
Annie Nov 2012
I close my eyes
And I see the sky
With every sparkling goodbye
That we mistake for a star

See, whenever you say goodbye for good
A light nuzzles into the nighttime
And when we wish upon a star
We are really wishing on
Every regret
Every word
Every glance
We ever had
And lost

transition
Annie Jan 2013
tell me
does it scare you that these words I write
are no longer about you?
(it should)

night flight
Annie Nov 2012
flying in an airplane at night
she looks out her window, thousands of miles up
the glass fogs at her warm breath
and the lights from the ground below are a reflection of the stars
in the moment of the planes droning hum
she believed she was in space
completely alone
solitude
and a tear rolled down her dewy face
because she did not want to touch the ground
ever again

layers and flakes
Annie Nov 2012
who are you?
you know your name
you may even know what you stand for
but strip off your skin
and take apart your bones
search deep inside your existence
what would you find in your soul?
And more importantly would you be happy
with what you find?

bones, skin, blood
Annie Nov 2012
dry, brittle bones holding up
this shell made of skin and blood
tomorrow will be a better day
unless my bones break
and my skin tears
blood spills
but that's why we have stitches
that's why i have you

distance
Annie Nov 2012
You tell me I'm distant
So maybe I am
Because I'm always dreaming
Of where I'm going
What I'm going to do
So yes I am distant
But that doesn't mean I'm not here
Because unfortunately I am
