never shall i fear
the facts are all clear
the signs clear as day
but through me
the blind can see
reaching out my hand
taking you to neverland
do not fight the inevitable
in a world of instant gratification
i swear to await
the longing for your touch
i know you feel the same
the sweet savour am I
to raise you from your hell
an save you from a lie
for as long as i am alive
no one will harm you
please my love hear my cry
always have i been there
and always shall i be
you are the love of my life
so stand up and be proud
be more than my promiscuous dream
I wrote it on the back of my hand one day, I told you that I needed you – you wiped the smile off my face with your thumb, like I had smudged the words right out of my mouth. You taught me invaluable lessons I am sure never to forget, I was schooled by you, in ways I never really understood. I was a child, innocent by the very lapels on which you grew me up. Dragged me up, scuffed my shoes at the front and back. Untied my bra strap with your little finger and told me, listen here, love, I know exactly what I am doing. Made me believe in you, you did. Made me fall for every word. Made me fall for every whisper of love. Tenderly I was hooked by you.

You were the machine of my creation. Your greatest ever work of art. You sculpted my very inner being, tied me to my soul with burnt fingers and made me believe I was worth nothing more than ****. Your purpose was excellent. Completely fooled I was, your succinct underhand ways grievously ruined my sight. No longer could I see reality, living in world prepared for, cooked up and served by you. I lost a lot of blood in those first few years, a lot of good stock died. My passion became my greatest detriment, for should I talk you would take the words from my mouth and mark them in the air; deconstructed with a red pen you would make me realise my mistakes.

Thank you for all you have done. To me. For me. With me. My ear is no longer connected to your mouth. I can breeeeeathe without having to miss a step. All my love that I was proud to possess had been given away, but I was proud to have failed you, I was proud to weep under you, I was proud, to have loved you and not gotten away with it. I take full responsibility for all my tremendous actions, the ones I gave for you, laid down in honour for you, to wipe your pretty little feet all over the back of my head. I turned around to face you and slapped that face right off your mouth

Loved I was by you. Needed I was by you, to be, you. I wrote *******, on my ******* fingers and shoved them up your ****. Now you talk my language, now you wait for me to see you. Now you know I am no longer your dishrag, your teatowel or your muse. Got it back I did, got back my heat, my fury, and glory. Action packed with honour and fire, loving and loved. I learnt from you lessons which I shall never forget, I was schooled by you. Wanted to thank you, for I am no longer afraid, my sweet ******, of you and your heart. This is a glorious world, one which you will never feel.
mirror mirror, i  fooled you all
felt you, feel, before your very fall
i wrote your name with upon my skin
let you feel the blood within
and with my tears that fell awry
it wrote your name
against a white brittle sky
i wrote you of fortune, and misery alieved
my own private passion was worn upon my sleeve
i cried a thousand words from my bed
and in their ink they wrote
a story we'd wed
and it wrote how we'd founded a world untrue
it wrote how i was a knight not worthy of you
it wrote a nightime of lessons unlearned
and it wrote a passion of times untermed.
I cired from these tears
as i stabbed at my breast
these words i had wrote
so clearly across my brazen chest
under my left clavicle
under my heart
i wrote in the nightime -
'til death do us part' -
and i picked at the blood upon me
so honest and so true
and every drop
was blessed, with an ounce of you
for no matter no what
for no matter your name
i still would feel your loss
your rebuttal, your shame.
and i cried ink stained tears across my cheeks
and i wandered your loss
not in days, not in weeks.
And still as i write this with digital pen
i wonder if i am me not now, but then
my lovely, my wonder
my wonderous show
of how you showed me love so
long ago.
I sit with a pen and i wonder what to write
my ink blots are messy
and such a distaneful fright
that even i, as a woman
might seek light from the night.
I whispher sweet nothings to myself
as i cry with a teardrop so selfish, so rare,
and i mean as tho i cry, from a world, so selfish, so rare.
My nothing, my everything
my world end in sight
i long for you, play for you
each and every night.
Though i know you have left me
half starved, beaten and cold,
you have left my darling with a wiltering soul.
All i did was try to love you
that was never enough
and what might it take for you
to feel
my love?
I watched her lips get wet, as she took a drag from her cigarette. I held her close when I heard her shout, because she finally knew, I had her figured out. Don’t be so pretty, don’t be so coy. Don’t walk away, don’t act like a boy. Don’t question my feelings or make me sore. Don’t, just please don’t, walk out of that door. I want to be the only person, in. Your. room. I want to feel your eyes on me. I want to be the one that you can only, desire. Kissed by a moment. And if you can convince me I am pretty, I will marry you.

So many rules, too many ways to be right. Oh, but please, don’t get me so wrong. Don’t interrupt, don’t guess who I am, or come on too strong. You may not understand that I am myself. Please don’t let my deficit be your burden of wealth. I just want you. To love yourself. Too much to ask? Too much to grasp. I want to feel your arms around me, feel your heart against me. And know, that you are there. No two bit stamp on the back of my hand, a fleeting night under the sheets. No, convince me I am pretty, and I will walk with your shadow til the sunsets.

I am not your buddy, I don’t facilitate second-hand-emotion. I do David Bowie, I do listening to the rain, I do dancing drinking, I do living without shame. And of these words that have been said before, keep gett-ing, left behind with the close of a door. Isn’t it shame you tried so very hard? Clouded, misjudged, may be a bit plus-****? I hate apologies, or the shame of self defeat, where is your fight? Please ground your feet. I am getting bored of myself; the intricacies of freedom hidden in a secret box. Convince me I am pretty, for your are the one who only would know.

I watched her eyes drift to the side, as she held back tears she could never cry. I held her closest when she pushed me away, and when she told me to leave, I made myself stay. Do be you, do smile when you can, do hold my hand, do act like the man. Do make me talk, don’t make me talk ****, just make me realise, you love me just even a little bit. And when I convince myself I am pretty, I’ll be fine, just fine.
I am the colour of skin
the bruise that i left the night before
i am monotonous and drained
as an empty wine bottle on your kitchen floor
I was you
a while before i could see
I was what you never were
what you can never be
I am the hair
that you pull before you cry
I am the colour of nightshade
and your ***** memories floating by
I am hate, i am pain
i am the look on your face
I am worn but new
I am the colour of distaste
I will be
the one you adore
i will be
forever mine my mind torn
I was the end
of the burn on your lit cigarette
i was the one and only
the one you regret
I am the girl
who will question always why
I am the girl
who will fustrate, who will throw, who will cry
I am the one
that never gives in, gives up
i am the one
that you drank from a old china teacup
I am now
something rare, something lit and flyaway
I am now
what you call your something, your someday
I am the colour of sunshine
breathtaking skies blue
I am the colour of your breath
i am the colour of you......
I want someone to help me remember the day again,
I want someone to wake me up with a tickling to the chin, and say, 'get out of bed, lazy head'
and when my son runs in, pulls back the covers and shouts 'next stop, the seaside'
I want someone to make me laugh, and see me when i am not laughing,
when i cannot laugh, for there are tears that need to be bled
from my mind, like blood from a rock.
I want someone to drive with me to the places i love best, and hold my hand because
pieces of me are falling apart, and i am an old weather, rusted, old painted house
waiting to fall down, when someone slams a door.
I want someone to hold me in their arms, hold me so hard, so fast, so ******, hard
that my arms will bruise and i will cry with how my heart beats so scared
with being held, that it wishes to burst open, and free the hurricane inside.
I want someone to help me remember how to smile,
and when i am not smiling i am laughing,
and when i am not laughing, you are filling in the words to the old 80's ballads,
i forget the words to.
I want someone to be here, to be right ****** here,
I want someone to move mountains and sink ships, and drag me back from falling off the edge,
and say 'I love you, I love you, I love you' with tears in their eyes,
that they want to drown in should i not believe them.
I want someone to make sure they know, i know, they know what they are doing,
because when i am so ****** lost and lonely, no-one can tell what i might do,
except i don't because i don't, why would i? But they take me and hold me anyways.
I want someone to whisper in my ear, 'it's ok i got this' when i need a hand to hold me
I want someone to say 'listen the birds are chirping and you may never get another moment in your entire life to hear this sound, like this ever again'
I want someone to ask me what book i am reading, and watch my face as i turn into princesses, and damsels and toads, and stallions on which princes ride, to slay the dragon
and watch me runaway with myself.
I want someone to take my side, and realise i am not what i always think i am,
and sometimes i need a liege to my throne and a circle of knights to swear upon my honour
they will sit and ride at dawn for me.
I want someone to listen to me, and hear what i say, what i really say, which isn't anything at all,
but they will hear me, and the words i am screaming from an earthquake behind my
eyes.
I want someone to hold me by the face whilst i am crying and tell me that their whole world lies within me, and the more i cry, the more i lose a slight part of my heart beat in each tear,
and that everything would be ok, if i just trusted them one last time,
that everything would be ok.
I want someone to take me by the hand and say, you are mine, i am yours, i am yours, you are mine,
and the grip be firm, and the heart beats strong,
and we sit in the car, as it rains, and you hold me, you just hold me,
and remind me to see the day.

My ceiling's painted in a off-white, it holds a multitude of dreams, from the night, before i sewed them into my seams. It captured them and absorbed them into the million grains of whites, each grain containing my dreams from the last two years and 3 nights. It hold the weight of the couple from above and their arguments and their make-up ***, and break-up love. It holds my worries and becomes my sky, inside my head there is no limit, but to this ceiling, it watches me cry. It holds my dreams. It bears my sin, there is tissues and love letters left in the bin. It bears the curse from the cigarettes i smoke, and watches when i get slammed and i am broke. Leaves me alone, reeling. My spinning world, my off-white ceiling.

I stretch my legs out in this bed, where the duvet colour is a past memory of faded red. This bed, oh it holds many woes, many girls, i have watched come, and literally go. I have cried a million sea of tears into this colour of red, in this ship, i call my bed. It holds my life, as my body lies when it cannot arise, and i cannot begin to see the world i have begun to despise. I have lost myself in this faded sheet, i have lost my mind, i have lost my marbles and my feet. I trapped myself on many a dark night, I have held a torch under these covers to bring me light; when i played hide and seek, and i ran from nightmares of that boy, in my sleep. It holds my come, my smoke, my legs, and my colour of red. My duvet covers, my bandaged head

I drift off.....

I cannot bang my head no longer against the back wall, because i no longer hear you hear my call. It's painted in a lilac colour, that wasn't my choice, and even in this simple matter, i feel like i've lost my choked voice. Here is my ship, there is my sky, it creaks as we tip toe and when they leave it bends with a sigh. The floor is in intrepid water, cracked ice, a danger zone, sirens and mermaids and whiskey, in a world i call my own. Here in this room i have toasted many a lover, taken one too many under this cover; i have held one of many in my arms, i have used my false wit, i have used my faceless charms; i used my smile, i used my eyes, i used the hint of something that they would later despise. Then i would watch them come, i would lie under, next, to, beside, on top of, them, and tell them their day is done.

There is a white blind that covers my window, its covered by curtains of black; how ridiculously symbolic is that? The very thing that lets in light, pushes it out when it comes to night. And every pair of footsteps to come through that door, well, they walk on broken footprints from someone before. The dust lies no differently beneath my bed, though I would never know, if they had never said. This ceiling sees my each and every move, it sees my tongue and fingers secretly find and explore every groove. And i am an explorer of lands unknown, there is no compass to where i go, myself and me, on our own. We sit here and watch as they sleep after we've drunk tea, and we draw out new maps to places we can't see. My lonesome room and lustless me.

This wonder of my eyes, a slight tinge of blue sin, leaves me to draw out the poison i have kept within. A filing cabinet of scars and pain, subconsciously picked out from the bin inside my brain; they play out to a roomless crowd, where i call out, cry out, shout out, way too loud. And when the poison is brought forth, and my lover has come, i know my job is over, my job is done. And as it retreats and my heart drown in circles around my soul, this is not me presented lying here, for i am living breathless, w-reckless ghoul. Girl or not, or who i am, this is not me, this is not who i a-m. I am not what i present, i am not what you see, i am not your one nor your ******* cup of tea. I am not what you touch, taste or feel, nothing of this, my lovely little ******, is real. My ceiling, my wall, this is my crowd, this is my secret place, this is me, in this red sheeted, white covered, black lit space.
you were always meant to be there
the silence in my fractured air,
the rapture before the breaking dawn
the silent cough, the stifled yawn......
Its like i just saw the sun for the first time
you were meant to rise to be only mine,
and as you slept i watched you dream
i began to unravel at the seams..
i never can forget the look on your face
the way you were my saving grace.
Its like you never were here or there
its like i lost you with the weight of my stare
and now its like we never had dared,
we never kissed, we never shared,
i never held you in my shortened arms
never said i'd keep you from harm
and we were just like butterflies you and i
and just in the spring we started to die.
Its like i cannot rid myself of your smile
i cannot pick up the phone and begin to dial
you lost me afore i'd even began
I am not that person, your not my man
I gave you my heart, to have and to hold,
gave you my hand for when we grew old
and still you crushed it and tore it away
and now you haunt me every single day;
for what they cry, the don't understand
its like a new language from a foreign land,
but they can never understand what i saw in you,
how i could love someone so black and blue?
Its like i never should have ever let you in,
to let you go, was for you to win
and its like a dancing moth to a dying flame
when i think i hear you call my name
but no its just the wind in a long lost dream
and nothing is real or what it seems.
Its like you never were, or never was
but you must have been, for i always was,
your one

— The End —
