My bestest friend
Is alive and active,
Painting
My joys
And bleeding my sorrows
Across
Snowy sheets.

I lay
My
Burden
On my closest
Friend,
And it doesn't
Sigh.
It just
Listens
Without
Interrupting,
Without
Thinking,
"Here we go again."

It drips
Oil
Each time
I speak
Of love
And
Bleeds
When life
Cuts
My spine
And
Breaks
My
Fragile
Dreams.

This is my personal friend,
My pen,
The
One
I use to
Heal
Myself.

This is my friend,
The one who
Keeps
My
Secrets,
Never
Thinking,
"Get over it already!"

My friend,
The pen,
The
One
With
Eternal
Ink,
The
One
Who
Loves
Me
Unconditionally.

It lets me speak
Endlessly.
When people
Are nowhere
To be found,
And I am afraid,
And I am lonely,
I run to my friend.

And I pour
Myself into
This tiny
Vessel
And I travel
Into another
World,
A world
That cares solely
About me.

I always have this fear
It hides underneath
In between my ribs
Reminding me it's there
It tugs in my chest
It whispers up through my throat
To my vocal chords
To the outside of my lips
And in front of my eyes
Looking directly through me
Making everything vanish in my mind
I startle awake and
It's you.

It’s too hot
and stuffy.
The blanket holds me in
holds me down
I’m suffocating.

I toss and
I turn.
The blanket is tangled
between my legs
I’m trapped.
I fumble and
I fidget.

I lean up on my elbow
to look out.
My arm is numb.
The CN tower.
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
Is it behind the fog?

It’s too hot
and stuffy.
The blanket is tangled
between my legs.
My arm is numb.
I fumble and
I fidget.

The blanket holds me in
holds me down.
I’m trapped.
I toss and
I turn

I lean up on my elbow
to look out
I’m suffocating.
The CN tower.
Behind the fog.
Behind the fog.
I’m still in Toronto, right?

It’s too hot
and stuffy
I fumble and
I fidget
I toss and
I turn.

Can’t sleep while suffocating.

Open the window. It’s freezing outside, let it in.

And under the stars, the first time we touched, I gave myself to you.

Unknown to what was present, we acted on the binding impulse of energy written from hopeful thoughts and clouded states of mind.

You were the drug and I, your victim; every word evoked seeping like a poison through my skin. You, the smoke to my lungs, addictive and screaming the very meaning of pleasure.

You were the minx, the temptress, my master and obsession. The feelings of guilt overridden by lust and passion, I was unable to hold a single breath.

But my love, my nymphette, how brightly you shone. What are morals when the heart leaps forth?

Reflecting the incandescent light of the moon, I watch the violet veins arise from your skin. You are a woman on this night.

Darling, I can feel your body grow cold. You draw closer with every movement, our pores blooming to retain the warmth.

Our love is imminent, flourishing with every subtle touch and every rhythmic ******.  

We lie gazing at the dark skies once more, you awake but barely conscious, I compelled to hold you.

But my love, I took your soul that night.

I hope someday
my undying love
will be able
to entice you again,
in order to escape
this heart of mine
which have devoured
by corroded pain.
