When the dust settles
and the streets are paved with broken headlights
lights blinking and screams heard from miles away
my thoughts are silent

When the noise settles
and we're left with our bare sticky skin
the moans replaced with your heart beat pulsing through your veins
my thoughts are silent

When the sun settles
the dusk turned into stars
and the dogs aren't barking and the babies aren't crying
my thoughts are silent

Shh,
can you hear them?

I love the way I look when I gasp
I hope I go out gasping for air
Head up
mouth open
like I'm coming and burning at the same time

I drove down the 605 and lost track of time.
"I'm just one drug run away from death", I thought to myself
as I listened to country blues and wondered how I'll feel
when I'm ten years older.
I thought I wanted kids but maybe I was wrong
I'm not sure if I'm tired of being tired
or bored of being bored
or which would be worse.
The heater blasts hot air against my face
It's too hot so I turn it on cold
It's too cold.
It never feels right.

Being in love means you don't know someone
It's a chemical reaction to hormone attraction
Either you love someone, or you don't
being in love means you haven't decided yet.

My psychiatrist sees me as a welcome change
like meeting an old friend
He leans back in his chair with that goofy smile
and asks me questions while he stares
at my pretty face

With plump **** I devour books
The pages pressed against my soft *******
My belly holding its firm bottom for support
I ravish them
Consume them
Feast on them until I'm full

— The End —
