we are static from a speaker
on the radio in the dashboard
my trough met your crest
and we both lay, flatlined on the shore

i want to be where you are
to feel your skin for it’s scars
i want to repair your heart
with greasy hands and spare parts

i’ve once again sipped beyond my limit
the mornings scorned and the scars adorned
skin feels dipped in flicked cigarettes
i penned a letter, licked to stick
addressed to me, every word as slick
“please, forget that i exist.”

liquid gold
licking the skyline
picture perfect
your eyeliner
sticks to your bottom eyelid tonight

an empty space
like snow on a canvas
resting memories
cracked and broken face
pulled away from embrace
my own worst enemy
i feel everything you spit on me
like a fuzzy television
frozen in place
i wish i could destroy
the ice in my veins
let me flow through me
crystallized in place
with no escape

i’ll admit that i
have never been the type
to avoid being crucified
i’ve always been the one
to just shut the **** up

and me, deceiving me
so convinced that it’s bravery
a selfless act drenched in chivalry
the crimson handprint worn
proving i’ve never deserved much more

how do i walk away?
i’m collecting sediment
far to heavy to shift
whenever i try to run
i've always been so sentimental
so i trip and eat ****
lips and teeth rip
spittin blood red ****
train wreck, mayhem
can’t tell, me him
you her they them
cut at the stem

i will fixe my gaze
the repairs are underway
stanchions and cables all gave way
support beams caved under the strength
the weight of love made them break
to be fair, they were rusted and
stripped of the brilliant paint
that made pedestrians stop and stare
and wait for someone else to see them there
