i'm l0st

I've never meant to go astray.
I've never wanted red wrists
or smelly fingers.
I've never wanted wet sheets
or sleepless nights.

I don't know what to do
or what to say
to make all the pain
go away.

Stuck in a limbo
seeking respite
yet everything else
leaves me in turmoil inside.

Maybe insanity is the new sane
like how being drunk is the new sober.
They say that even hell gets comfy after awhile
I have to say that they're right.

The pain gets addictive,
the burn becomes akin to ant's bite.
There seem to be nothing else
to make me feel alive.

i'm lost.

Seer's Simulacrum

Seer's Simulacrum

I can feel it happening
I can feel the winding key
I can feel gears turning
As the wind blows
My heart screams
Soul blown out through my lungs
I sing against the dead breeze

Something has brought me into this place
Washed over memories
Rush through reaching to attach
Do I look like a fool to you?

I do will this blasphemy
I do will this frail mind free
I do will your caress
As the rain falls
A slow freeze
Sets just inside my chest
Is this what salvation means?

Something has brought me into this place
Washed over memories
Rush through reaching to attach
Do I look like a fool to you?

Something has brought me to this place
Washed over me
Run right through and reaching
Do I look like a fool

As I submit?
As I submit,
Attaching

The Best Expierince At The Hospital

"Can I just say something to you before I go to bed?"
"Sure I've got nothing that can hurt me any worse"* I said teary eyed yet still smiling
"You're my definition of perfect. In my eyes, that's what you are. I just need you to know that someone thinks this of you. That somebody thinks something of you besides the scars that you're covered in."
"Perfect? I wish. I wish, I – really wish (her name)" I whispered as I began to break into endless tears.
I don't know what love is, I'm too young. But I'd have to say that was my ultimate love affair.
"When you get out of here, just please, please don't hurt yourself, ok?"
"Same to you babe" I said half smiling, wiping my tears.
"Okay"
"Okay"
silence and gazes of smiles throughout the night

The Letter

The Letter

The taste in my mouth came bitter
Words from these cold hard lips
Vented a fire
I was ready to lavish

So you closed the door
And all around me fell away
The heat that I drank from
All washed and pressed into
A letter

No smell of your perfume
A kiss missing pose
Just forms all in black
As I read into silence

My rock crumbled with every
tear
Failed foolery wished
A turn back the clocks
I have become the lost

An end that started so well
Fell before my weary sadness
Oh how I miss you
So silently I step away

Rose Garden

You remind me of my first acid trip.
Of all the quirky people in the world
holding handfuls of trees

You're the one I would like
to wrap in ivy leaves and
take home.

Can you believe me?

I will unwrap you in a year and we will
find god under the sea.
Swimming like seagulls, fishing like carpenters—
we have no skills but we will build a house.

It will be a simple house.

I Shimmied as God Claimed a Victory Lap Dance

I Shimmied as God Claimed a Victory Lap Dance

There was a time when my mind was high
and I walked within thoughts that I
gathered close to me but You don’t care
about that do you?

I had to dance upon a sticky floor
while watching who walked through the door
and bare myself as the unholy *****
all the while caring for nothing but
asking for what you might do

As if you worried about what I bared
or offered your help like I cared
You watched me with your jaundiced eye
and ignored the tears I cried
Pretending it was just the glitter as you breathed
“Hallelujah”

Like so many nights that had gone before
as I lay down upon the ***** floor
you watched me as I broke myself
like all the other nights that you knew me

Escorted to you for a private dance
your wandering hands lacked romance
the ineffectual touch of eternity
and lack of tip eventually set me free

The Circle

The Circle

Across all space and time
Left in silent suspension
From dawning age to endless night
And a never ending comprehension

Wrapped around entire emotions
Holding all in a soft embrace
There is no day there is no night
An entire life in a blank space

The smoldering look, the tiny smile
The gentle sigh upon the breeze
The lingering touch, a strong hand
That holds the world at ease

The yearning for a day in the past
To right all that should not be lost
It tightens to bind and remind, it is
A line that could not be crossed

A shield from the crushing weight
Of a pain that can not be shared
A safe haven in a stormy sea
A cocoon for the ill prepared

Of a burning love, or a missing life
Of a gentle word from a perfect friend
Of a millennium of worth that also found
Where it does begin, it shall also end
