Kalliope
With an open palm
And out stretched arm
You grasp my hand
But once again you take no weight
Intertwine your fingers with mine
Make my heart skip beats
Just long enough to transfer
Your demons
They play well with mine
I've got no space
I'm filled to the max
I take them anyway
With my heart in cracks
You're never here for me
But I can't tell you no

Uno
Your promises mean nothing
Your words the same
Not quite lies
But never truthful
I don't know how to play this game
You've got me beat
For once I'll say it
I surrender
You win
A handful of cards I don't understand
You have one and know just when to play

Kalliope
With heavy eyes
And stiff bones
I say goodbye
To what was once
A home
I am afraid
I have to go
A brand new road
To be travelled alone
I won't forgot
All those good times
We had on late nights
And cheap moonshine
In my heart
I'll forever hold
As I say goodbye
To who was once a home
Your freckle placements are forever etched into my mind

You can be full of life
Bursting with it
Growing hope inside you
Nauseous with happiness
Heart beating with uncertainty

It takes 5 minutes to strip it away
One choice
One decision
To throw you into a lifetime of
Pain and over thinking
Little sacrifices cause big waves

Kalliope
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like the piece of gum you chew
After a cigarette.

She doesn't even know
You started smoking
Again.

Kalliope
When you wouldn't hear my words
I tried to show you with my actions,
You just stopped looking at me.
Open your eyes please

Kalliope
Large doses of you
Were never good for me,
But, I've always loved to
Push my limits.

Kalliope
If you broke my arm
I'd still ask you to sign my cast,
And that is why
I must go.
 Dec 2024
Kalliope
Every time I get comfortable
Without you
You show up again.

Every time I get used to sleeping
By myself
You crawl into my bed.

Every time I fall in love
With you,
You leave me again.
The way we love hurts my heart.

Kalliope
Each time you call me dumb
I believe you
a little bit more.
I'm dumb
for loving someone
Who is not capable of
loving me back.
 Dec 2024
Kalliope
I tried to disappear a few times,
You always found me.
I don't know if that makes me
Love or hate you.
 Dec 2024
Kalliope
Whenever I flip my lucky cigarette
I always wish for you.
You don't like the smell of them.
 Dec 2024
Kalliope
I can't stand you unless you're between my legs.
It's not love but can we just pretend a little longer?
