so strange
to be jealous
so strange

I have all of these bruises
on my arms and legs
and this
high yellow birthmark
that rests at the cliff of my
thigh just before it dives into my
right knee,
and these black marks that
people have come to name
as a sign of beauty
(but that's not the case.)
They sit on my
right *******
and my right index
and my left pinky
and right above my upper lip
on the left side of my face-
all of which I constantly wonder
if they began to exist
only when I began to exist
or if they've been there all along
just waiting for my body
to peer into existence,
I really can't say
exactly when
all of these birthmarks
and beauty marks
and bruises
all
began to
exist
but I really do
wonder
about them.
birthmarks, beauty marks, and just regular old bruises

i could write so many ******* poems
about your stupid,
******* face.
there's nothing more frustrating than being on small talk speaking terms.

i think my heart
grew strings
trying to forget you.
and so did my head.

i hope on
a good day
you find a
strand of
my hair
still woven
into your
books.

and I hope, this, I hope, this, gets to you.

i thought you were different
when you didn’t leave any scars

but instead,
you opened up the old ones
and thought i wouldn’t notice

until i found myself lying on the floor,
wondering why i was bleeding again

I've wanted you ever since I learned how to want.

With a box full
of toys in your closet
and a mouthful
of love on your lips,
  you are just a boy

and there's something about your hometown
that makes me want to fill my lungs with poison,
its all awfully familiar.

Things are different now, but still the same.
     I still get random urges to kiss the top of your head.
     I still **** in my stomach when we have ***.
  but I'm more scared of losing you now

When my dad tried to teach
me how to ride a bike he said,
look at where you want to go,
look ahead,
and I still can't ride a bike, too busy
  staring at the ground.

"I'm sorry but you're like the ******* sun,
I wasn't a bad kid I just was sort of the odd one,
She's not too naughty but I guess she ain't nice,
Her tongue is like poison and her *** is a spice

She walks like she's a winner losing the race,
She talks like she's a class act with undesirable taste,
She ***** like a rock star with an ugly face,
She runs like Forrest Gump but babe she's out of place."
Current emotions are swerving like the broken ocean.
