The drapes in your skull
and your sunken in eyes,
who has broken you?
-
Collarbones protruding
from your withered chest
and your lungs heave for one breath-
one breath too many.
-
The stress of the days,
and the strawberry blonde boy
you fell in love with
on the countryside.
Your heart is broken.
-
Slumped in the cracked city
you are forced to call home,
and the loved ones who have passed
but whom are not dead.
-
Ridiculing the creeping insects
looking for a home.
*****, gross, worthless
You realize.
That's what they call you
-
Sun setting a forcefully pale orange,
awakening the night.
Time for your dismay to set.
-
Light your cigarette
and ash it on your skin,
amazed by its burn.
Pain? None.
-
An insomniac's racing mind
and all the wonders of the world.
Waiting, time contemplating.
-
Wishfully disappearing
just like your soul did.

Drag your feet against the pavement,
bleed your heels some more
Value the hurt
and that you feel pain.
Retract your strings
and put  boundaries on yourself.
Don't run free
you'll only be caught.
Continue to fill yourself with hope
that the most miserable of things
will fill you with joy.
Try to wrap your heart around a love
that is anything but true.
Open one door
to find a black hole in the other
and step into a dimension of
trust issues, self harm, hate for the world.
Forget all your responsibilities
and drop all respect
to dig a grave for your future.
Position yourself for a smooth road
and crumble when it bumps.
Remember your hard times
and relive all your hell.
And never forget
bring all the hurt to yourself.

ky
i like a lot of myself.
i like the way i look
when i first wake up.
i like the way my eyes
look when i do my make up.
i like my body, how it's unique
to me.
i like my long hair.
i like my small hands and feet.
but my god
i love my mind
and i love
what my hands can do
and what my mouth can say
and where my feet can take me
and what my eyes see when i first wake up.
that's what i love about
myself.

Your words
left a temple in my body.
I heard you fence off your mind
and I heard you'll make it out just fine.
~~~
You never did like the cold
so ill hold you closer than ever.
Your words whisper sweetly in the moonlight
and shine come daytime.
~~~
You're reliving sweet heartbreaks
and soaking your heart in the blood stains you made.
But that's okay because you're hands
fit right into mine.
~~~
And when beauty is no longer physical
where will we stand?
Is your love unconditional? Can I speak my mind?
~~~
Ive got a shoebox filled with memories of stained childhood
and ive got your soul on my mind
so baby please don't replace me
with a love unworthy of your life.

Your blood comes red as this wine
Escape your fears for me, dear
Bring your fallen fate to me.
You've no longer had a chance.
Drought the whole field in your eyes
and give me a reason now.
Let your voice be heard to all.
Run from all you've ever known.
Retract your past memories.
Let your harsh mistakes catch you
as you are as weak as me.
Cling on to what you don't know
and fear all that you don't see.
Remember when you have lied
and make up for all your hurt.
Because its over now, love.
The worries will surround you
more than you will ever know.
Drop dead and leave your soul there
to decompose into air.
