Gray, grey, gray, grey, gray, grey
Mixed in everything
And she looks dazed
The sky is dark
Clouds float around her
And her hair
One mass of dark
Rough edges but everything melts together

Plant one on my neck
My cheek
lips
forehead
bellybutton
Watch them grow, flourish
Into love
Watch them consume me
Tangled up in yours
The ones I planted on you
Until we can’t see out our own jungle

Long, drawn-out silences  
eroding at my skin
I freeze and I break, I freeze and I break
Soon I won’t be able to take it

Rocks, ice and anger, wells up inside
I’m tired and I’m stretched so thin
I try and I give and I try not to take
And then I melt a little bit

I slip and start to slide
The movement begins
I’m falling down, down, down

I am still patiently waiting
for the day to come
where I wake up
and smile

(read forward, then backward, line by line)

I ran.
Not knowing what else to do
There was so much blood on my hands
It was mine
The kitchen knife
Caught in my chest
Guilt
Consumed by
Fear
I was heightened by
Adrenaline
But running on
Wasn’t enough
While trying to stay calm,
Losing control
It was me that would end up
Dead. Because
He was
In front of me
The whole time
It was too late
Trapped
I found myself
Locked in chains
My fate was
Death.

I’ve been listening to music late at night lately
It hasn’t really helped me deal with the coffee
The songs bore, and even the new are dull
To the core, I don’t think I know between lull
