shut your MOUTH
and let me speak
because when you SPEAK
I can't think
When you THINK
you don't filter
and when you don't FILTER
your words hurt
and when you HURT
you don't care
when you don't CARE
I want to die.

I know
that you are
the absolute and
total
better part of
me
someone I could only
ever ever
aspire to be
let’s leave it there
where I started
you are the absolute
absolute absolute absolute
and total
better part of me.

You like me
But do i like you?

Your nice to me
Am i nice to you?

You always talk to me
Do i do the same for you?

You make my face go on fire,
But is it from you
Or the attention?

You say we’re perfect.
But do i think the same for you?

No.
I dont know.

Hold me close to your chest,
and slit my throat

With my final gasp of air,
i'd say "i'm sorry for staining your shirt"

I keep cleaning up my apartment.
Thinking it will clean up my brain.

As a child we’re told
It’s sticks and stones
That will break your bones
And words that will never hurt
But what happens when
Those words continue to ring in your ear
From the sharpest of tongues
Progressing through life
Still haunting you at every turn.

I would eat my own arm
To sustain my life
In order to sustain yours

I would feed you
My own flesh to sustain yours
And stay with you ignoring my needs

Until you are grown and on your way
And then, with my life's mission done
I could fade

I never asked
for tomorrow
I think
That was you
