Un-Untitled
Calli Kirra Dec 2015
The hours always pass faster when it's dark outside, so why do we hurt the best things in our lives?

Going to hell and the rich way to get there

I would love you in a war
I would love you in a fire fight and on the bathroom floor
Calli Kirra Dec 2015
I left my clothes at your house,
You left your drinks at mine
Oh and I wish you were here
Forty-five, now it's ten-o-nine
My ribs let go with you laying there
I catch every sigh
'Cause I listen with my eyes
We both feel a shift,
And ask the right thing
At the very right time
That's why
You know what I mean,
That's why

A for Again
Calli Kirra Dec 2015
I don't believe you when you say you love me,
So I don't believe anything

All of Me Screaming
Calli Kirra Dec 2015
Hours fly after nine
Mind screams and tries to hide
Fingers hold on for the ride
Heart beats and kills time
Eyes dead set and always up
Toes cross and ask for luck
Wrists bound,
Untie with sound
Head packs up for underground

Hot Water, Lights Out
Calli Kirra Nov 2015
Hot water, lights out
Ten, eleven, twelve
I always come back again
My stomach, rolling and rolling
Pushing and pulling
Yelling and smashing
At me
Should I be sorry?
"The winter is just messing with me"
Messing with my head,
While I'm messing with the heater
I'm playing with my life
Just trying to be sweeter
Messing up the sheets,
Pulling them closer
Scratching at my skin,
The ceiling all in colors

Cool Blue Safe Air
Calli Kirra Nov 2015
Save me with your safety
We both know
Maybe I'm wrong,
And I'll find out late,
Maybe the silence is kind of okay
I second guess, but I feel it in my bones
And I need you like cars need stop and go
Like a light in the sky,
Blue and unknown
That's the air between us
Just as long as you call,
It's cool

All The Real Girls
Calli Kirra Oct 2015
I'm not easily convinced,
Unless I'm the one doing the talkin
I'm not easily obsessed,
Unless it's somethin that's gonna be worth it
And I know how to kiss
But only when I really feel like it
Baby I'm the best
But only for real lovin

Quitters Never...
Calli Kirra Sep 2015
Stab me,
Oh baby just **** me
Take all I said in a moment of trusting
*******, throw it back at me
Prove me right again, lemme have it
Toss my head around, fantastic
Nail me to the wall,
I'm bleeding, but laughing
Make yourself sick
With your lie soaked spit
I'll still get what I want
You may be a quitter,
But I'm not

Daisies
Calli Kirra Sep 2015
Maybe crazy, never stupid
We might think twice,
But we'd never do it
And like daisies to the sun, we grow

Me, Menagerie
Calli Kirra Aug 2015
If I was a dog, I'd bite
And you may be one now,
But at least you're right
And if I was a cat, I'd scratch
Pouncing on air,
Just missing your lap
Babe if I was a bird, I'd sing
I'd be the kind of canary
You'd be too afraid
To send into a mine,
That's what you are at all times
Even when I seem unsure
I'm a maybe at best,
For sure

Want Me
Calli Kirra Aug 2015
I don't have time like a clock does
I'll tick you around till your heart stops
He said put down the scissors,
All I said was I miss her,
Oh, you better not
And you better stop
I needed to chill,
And I've done a good job
I'm so ******* sweet
And you're stupid, it seems
Like with me, you dream
You wake up and push your luck

Making
Calli Kirra Aug 2015
The sweetest music, making me weep
Wanting to scream but unable to speak
I'm tired but oh so rushed
Shaking hands, too late is enough
And I'm scared and aware,
And I know what's up
But I'd rather it now than before
Now he's calling my name,
Kicking in the door
Can't get into a room without one,
So what are they trying for?
I care, I care
I say it at least
An exhaustion immune to a good nights sleep

Punch First, Punch Hard
Calli Kirra Jul 2015
And he said to me,
Punch first and punch hard
In your evening eyes I see winter stars
Cover mine, I'd still know where we are
Pull me in and shock me with your pounding heart
Yes I guess,
Yes it's best,
When moments come in flashes
May your wanting ache,
Your crossed fingers happen
Lover you'll see, I flirt with madness
But I'll never stray,
You've got it all
You're the missed step and the plunging fall

Malibu Boy
Calli Kirra Jul 2015
Oh aren't you everything I asked for
And like a hot, late dream,
Just like THAT girl in movies,
I'm tossing around with nothing on
Just so good feeling like lilies in your arms
It hasn't captured me,
This perfect buzz,
Yeah it's just enough
And if it comes crashing,
I hope you've had practice,
'Cause I'll be so comfortably numb

No Flame, All Blame
Calli Kirra Jul 2015
Trying to love and feel again,
Like lighting a match in the wind
I could blame the stars,
Or the people they are
I could blame myself
And the installed iron bars
Baby I could blame you
Yeah that's probably best
Id probably get the car,
And the money with that guess
Yeah, it's all on you
The boy in blue
But who really knows in the end

Beach House
Calli Kirra May 2015
You don't want this,
And I'm telling you
Just like it is
An unsteady tower when the wind comes in,
That's what I am
Made of marble and glass and covered in sun
I'm at my best when the nights are long
But by the sea,
Temperamental place to be
I fear overcasts just teasing me
Yes it's the best,
I will admit
Just listen sailor, please
A beach house is perfectly
Troubled as can be

Light, In Two Ways
Calli Kirra May 2015
I'd rather it eat me
Than the other way around
Walking, like floating over ground
The satisfaction of slipping through a fence
Seeing light between my legs
Light
But I know it's really dark
May 2015 · 289
M Part Whatever
Calli Kirra May 2015
You said everything I waited for
Oh, but a couple ages too late
Well I've never doubted your love for me
Just the time it took to say

For those who don't know...
Calli Kirra May 2015
May is Borderline Personality Disorder awareness month. I was diagnosed two years ago when I was 15, and I've now just turned 17.  I haven't spoken of this much before, and I don't really talk about it in general, but I think it's important for those with this disorder to come together to support each other, and for those who don't have it to understand what it's like. If anyone wants to talk or needs support,
I'm here for you. You're beautiful, stay strong.
Calli Kirra Apr 2015
I hate feeling like an island with my thoughts, you know? Like you know that feeling where everyone you know is part of that thing you're thinking about that's kinda messed up and removed, and you know no matter who it is you talk to about whatever it is, there's a different point that each person will miss, so you can't actually talk about it with anyone but yourself and eventually it's just like bouncing a ball off a wall so it keeps coming back to you? I bet that's how people go crazy

Lines for the Road
Calli Kirra Mar 2015
Driving reckless in your car,
Going fast, goin far,
Oh, anywhere we are
Take me fast, take me far

In Town
Calli Kirra Mar 2015
In a town thats all the same,
Every face knows every face
Excessive gates and lack of grace
Dropping names and playing games

The Way I Want You
Calli Kirra Mar 2015
I'll never want anything the way I want you
Like an indigo lake and you're the moon
All that you are and all that you do,
I'll never want anything the way I want you

Real Thing
Calli Kirra Mar 2015
It's like when I talk,
He's waiting for me to stop
So he can take my chin and tilt it up
Like shut up and kiss me,
Baby shut up and miss me
'Cause you hear what I say
You look in my eyes
He stares at my face

Nathan
Calli Kirra Jan 2015
Your face in pixels,
All you are, at least so far
I've got notes and holds to share with you
The story of the bird I lost,
And the way it flew
I want you taped to the wall
That's the madness in me
All the voices chant around our twirling dance,
Harassing our party scene
You should know when it's cold,
I'm a hot coal to hold
But cooled and pressed I'm diamonds
July will come and rescue me,
But now I need you a million times ten

Coastline Highway Heart
Calli Kirra Dec 2014
I'll fall for you like running in the dark
Fall into your quivering heart
Your crystal eyes, and they'll cling to mine
Like Cambria clouds tumble into the night
And the chords you play will clutch to me,
Pull us ever closer, like the fog and streets
Any white room turns green from you,
I would do anything you wanted me to
Nov 2014 · 278
The Life
Calli Kirra Nov 2014
I'm prepared to give it all up
Prepared to fall into the lights and cars,
I'm ready for the constant go and the moving home,
For a nomadic soul
I'm ready to see my own eyes everywhere but in mirrors
I'm ready to let it have me
Nov 2014 · 392
C(Andy) Land
Calli Kirra Nov 2014
He had blue and orange eyes that were black when he's high
And sweet peach lips that turned white
Soft red hands,
That turned gray from the ash
Toes that were purple in the light
A trembling heart,
That glowed green in the dark,
And yellow all under his nails
Slapped-pink cheeks,
A couple golden back teeth
The same shade of black from before in his hair
Nov 2014 · 324
Ba(n)d
Calli Kirra Nov 2014
No good and my wings are ripped,
But there was empty space to begin with
Would you still kiss me with blood on my neck?
Like a video girl, and you're paid for this?
You just walked out on all your friends,
And I'll do you good for that
I'll make you proud for that
Calli Kirra Nov 2014
Oh the beauty of a beating heart,
So red and instead,
Never to bed,
Always promising just a little bit longer
And oh the curiosity of crickets when it's light out,
Like rain in a sun town,
Dressing up to ride around

Dancing
Calli Kirra Oct 2014
Now he's dancing with me to Sea of Teeth
And all the milky air will love our paper cuts
Keep us wrapped up
There won't be any prickles and pins of not enough

The Shower Scene
Calli Kirra Oct 2014
Oh I can't hear a thing you're saying
And the water feels great
Maybe if I scrub enough,
My skin will follow the grey down the drain
As long as the door's not locked right?
As long as you can get through the door

Rock Shot
Calli Kirra Oct 2014
All the girls,
Wearing the same skirt
Tugging at your shirt
It feels good with the black and the lights
Grind your teeth, closing eyes
Red heels won't touch you like I could
And she don't listen to the songs we would
I love seeing the candy dance in your eyes
Oh I love the fever in your sighs
So much for such a young guy
Such a crazy time
Wild ******* ride
Kiss the salt and taste the lime
There's plenty of room for yours and mine
It'll come
So much fun

Just short, sweet
Calli Kirra Oct 2014
In the air, on a jet
Seventeen straight hours
Oh what a perfect number
Just working so hard,
Oh baby you are
You gotta know we're crazy for ya

Rabid
Calli Kirra Sep 2014
I want to drown in you
Because if I'm not six feet deep,
If I'm not surrounded and submerged,
I don't do well in empty space
Well let's just say,
When I have room to move,
I'm a wolf in the herd

Tough Love
Calli Kirra Sep 2014
My sponge,
I squeeze what I need and run the tap again
A bunch of empty jars are what we have in the end
Am I chained to loving men who are sick like this?
Is this how a baby finds her end in a ditch?
Well I don't wish I didn't,
But I'd never do it again
Cut carefully now, put the scars where they'll count
Now the tissue is thick
It's better like this

Hot Hot Hotbreak
Calli Kirra Sep 2014
What a hot hot hot one
Gotta hand it to the valley,
You did me good baby
Keeping it July for me
And he's a hot hot hot one
Blends right in
To the desert and the canyon
Both in heat
Figuratively,
And yes quite literally
You better not be ******* with me
Good luck to the west is the best you'll get
From a golden girl like me
Cause I said it then, I'll say it again
******* I love the heat
Jesus christ I hope someone gets the song reference in the title

Hands Around My Waist
Calli Kirra Sep 2014
If only
My only
You look like all the pictures
Neck goes slack
Eyes all glass
Thinkin how I would touch ya
The scene, the dream
The destination screams
"What a perfect chance"
Someday soon I'll have you close
But for now I'll break the trance

The Spins
Calli Kirra Sep 2014
Round n round,
Round we go
Where we stop I bet I know
You're in my city,
Can't wait till the show
I'll smile sweet then go real low
Circles and circles
And **** it's cold
But I'll stick it out till the Wednesday glow
Gotta remember to chill
Lover like the air I'm chill

NC-17
Calli Kirra Sep 2014
No pictures
Cause I can't stay still for the click
Well I even break my own rules,
So expect it
I guess "no" is worth the high it gives
Why can't I just behave
Why can't I just behave

So bad
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
If innocence was measured in Halloween candy collected,
You'd be nine and I'd be nineteen
Empty bag,
Drunk off my ***
Howling at the moon
All hot for the street

The Hot 100
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
When all the cards shuffle,
And hearts are then spades
The best days are gone
With the incoming grey
I'm pushing on the wall pushing me
So unfair, so short
Was the white-hot harmony
You just can't do this to me
Is it the terror or the trees,
Frozen, sharp, and stripped of their leaves,
That is ******* the madness into me?
Five more minutes, mother nature please
I'll curl up fitfully
Clutching my shorts and ticket stubs
Waiting for my babies to wake me up
When again it all reads
100 degrees

Boudoir
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
In silk,
Eyes to the mirror and floor
Hair, swish against all the black,
Sighing for strong arms with wings on the back
The pretty lace, petal place
All glass and dimly lit
In the plush we sit
In the curtains we kiss
Dreams of skin on skin,
Is this as good as pretty gets?
A hundred looks and a cha-ching fist?
Here goes the dress
Always more hope in a dress

Got the (House of) Blues
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
Id be a sneak with the pigs on my toes
All to be the sweetest berry at your show
Hold my breath and slip right through,
I'd be bad with the front door for you
Two hundred cash I blew real fast,
So I'll fake it till I make all my dignity back
Sliding in blood in the name of love
In the name of fun
Cue the lights in three...two...one.

Diana
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
You, my kitten
My coconut rose
The white to my black
Half of the frame,
And you just float
And in your mist I'm less disturbed
My gilded girl
When trips come, or when trips are done
My first plus-one
A diamond tipped knife,
A pink handled gun
We put on a show
They always come for our show

Type B
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
I keep my clothes on the floor
And my head in the clouds
My heart in the music
My eyes in the crowd

My skin in the silk,
Sun and warm water
My toes in the rings
My fingers in lacquer

My soul in the streets,
My wrists in the sheets
My hair in the glow
My baby in my dreams

Honey, Baby, Sweetheart
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
I ******* NEED you like the nights
Like, torches in a fire fight
I'm just aching and rolling around
Going down,
Going down
Breaking the mirrors cause I need bad luck
And you're the baddest it gets, I'm limp, got me by the neck
Screaming, I'm the jungle, I go bump in the night
I'm a chilled merlot with you by my side
A ruby ring and the turning tide

cherries, I guess
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
And oh I ache, like a creaking door, like a rusty faucet pipe. I can hear all the blood running it's errands in the sides of my head, it's this bathroom, this ******* bathroom. I feel like the turning handle on a mall gumball machine, no, then I feel like the ******* gumball, and I fall to the little black crevice with door, and you roll me out and pop me into your mouth, chewing hard and your spit is turning blue and I'm getting softer and softer in your lips. A caged Ocelot, and all I have to look to for a golden tomorrow is the poster of all the colorful wildlife, advertising this sickness. This pinging on a metal ceiling. This brownness. But my posters are of a different pair of devastating blue eyes that I know are evil too, but I pacify myself with the thought that they are so light because they are pure and clear, not because they are cold and hard. I started crying in my sleep. And I wake up with the streetlight shining through the window from that ***** alley that I love, and my face is so wet and so pink, and I say it's better that I cry unknowingly than consciously. I beg and toss for migration and distraction, chaos, oh baby where did you go? You can't leave me here with loose pieces of skin and a sick heart. You can't pick off the bottles on the ledge one by one with a rubber band and some pebbles and leave me with nothing. All I've got left are some nail polish bottles, some concert tickets, a few empty backseats. Things are either so incredible and hopeful or so *****, filthy, like gas stations, like the inside of ovens, and my fingers are becoming calloused. I'm floating like a cherry in a ***** shirley. Oh come, with your fingers in my hair, and kiss me.

Parched
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
I know what can happen between the times we talk
And well,
This valley drought is ******* us
Drying and cracking the sidewalk
I guess no rain,
No pain,
But soon green will be gray
Let's hope by then I'll be dry of everything I want to say
