In a lonely darkened pit I wander,
some might call it hell
but it's far too familiar
every texture, every smell.

It's been with me for so long
I choose to call it home
this cold and lonely labyrinth
of desperation that I roam.

Searching in vain for my true love fair

Crying out her name hoping she'll be there,
but only the wind will answer
echoing her name,

taunting me and haunting me
is it all just a dream.

An opioid delusion as a field of poppies I cross.

Breathing in a fragrance nearly as intoxicating as her,
down the rabbit hole I tumble
everything becomes a blur.

Alice sweet Alice
won't you please come home.

This is no wonderland since you've gone.

Can't explain to you how badly I wish I had a time machine
So many things we could've avoided
Maybe then I wouldn't be so disjointed
So many things we shouldn't of seen
That can't be unseen
Can't tell you how badly I wish I was a young teen
Maybe our childhood wouldn't of been so obscene
If only I had a ******* time machine
Change our childhood story
Look back at our lives with a little bit of glory
Not have to grow up well before our years
How nice to not have to cry so many tears
What a dream to not have so many fears
How nice it would've been if
Dad never cheated
Maybe Mum & Dad get married and live happily ever after
How amazing it would've been if
Mum never got sick
Mum never met Rick
No abuse, no drugs
I still remember Mum getting hit
I remember the bruises
I remember the sadness
Another example of the ugliness of humans in this World
With every fibre of my being I wish life turned out differently
Maybe if I had a time machine I wouldn't question my existence daily
I would be happy, genuinely

you’re mine.
even if you can’t be.
you’re mine.
even if it destroys me.
mine. mine, mine, mine.

i’m apathetic to the world
but i feel for the need to own you
with every vein in my body.
my love could be mistaken
as a crime


GEMiNi’S iNTERLUDE

ARREST ME
MAKE ME YOUR OWN, SELFiSHLY
BECAUSE THERE’S NO ONE
BUT YOU TO LOVE ME

NO ONE CAN PROViDE ME
THE DANGEROUS FEELiNG OF YOUR SAFETY
YOU’RE POSSESSiVE AND OBSESSiVE
YOU GET ME CLOSER TO GOD

YOU’RE THE ONE !
THEY WARNED YOU
YOU WANT ME
TOGETHER, WE CAN BRiNG RUiN TO THIS FORTRESS

LOOKiNG iN YOUR MALEVOLENT EYES
YOU HUNGER FOR SOMETHiNG iNSATiABLE
BLiNDLY BREAK DOWN MY WALLS AS YOU
HOLD ME AND ADORE ME.




i desire to see your wrists bound together, at my mercy
my pure sadistic ecstasy
letting me own your every inch of flesh
to claim your beating heart
morphing into one

i don’t care if she wants you as much as me
i don’t care if she’s had you before
you should know that you don’t belong with me, but to me.
because you’re mine.
even if i have to force you to be.

my name
will be your last breathe.
don’t underestimate
what i can do.
look what your love has made me become–
this is a part of a duo poem !! this corresponds with my piece, POLICE!! the main speaker for this piece, (the lowercase) is THE COP, GEMiNi'S father figure-- while GEMiNi voices the fragmented text.

do you see what i alluded to please tell me you know what i made an allusion to please please please

Empty room echoes,
Silent phone, no texts to share,
Lonely heart whispers.

I didn’t really know how bad it got, and usually I do.
I tend to keep to myself and stay in my room.
It didn’t look like that this time-
no, it slowly evolved.
There was no sudden switch with all of my body involved.

I don’t smile anymore while drinking my coffee,
and every day at 7:30 my mom asks what’s wrong with me.
I say nothing, that’s just my face,
and try to reassure her that my feelings she mistakes.

I sit with my family and join my daughter in pretend,
oddly, everyone treats me like I’m standing at the edge.

Until one morning my dad gives me a drink,
talks about renovation plans and asks what I think.
But I don’t care, and I don’t know why he’d ask.
He tells me he’s scared I’ll be like him,
and see life like an empty glass.

Which was weird, we never talk that deep-
but he noticed the change in me,
so I had to admit defeat.
I’m no actress, never been in a play,
but I thought I hid my sadness well-
that it wasn’t infecting my day by day.

But I’m a fool, so that’s really no surprise.
Now I really have to heal,
since it’s reached my family’s eyes.
I think at some point I stopped expecting better things,
So when I’m disappointed it can pass and not really sting,
But I don’t want to be the sad girl-
not really, not anymore.
I'm going to be the confident girl,
okay with expecting more.

One story,
two different perspectives.
One story,
a hero and a villain.
Two different perspectives —
Now who's the hero
And who's the villain?
How often have you been the villain in someone else's perspective?
I feel more lonely when she's around
Than I do by myself
I can't make it make sense
And I can't can it and put it on a shelf

It splits me in half and destroys both pieces
I can't answer why I stay
It's neither love nore is it fear
This is life in the gray

Laying on the beach
alone in the dark,
only with the stars
and the sound of the waves.

Sitting on the edge,
just where the tide could touch my toes
but doesn’t.

There’s sand in my hair
but I don’t mind-
it’s warm against my back.

I feel everything
and nothing
all at once,
staring at the moon
as if she’s looking back.

And when the cold water
hits my skin,
I know what she means
and I feel content enough
to leave.
Not at the beach but my mind can bring me small scenes of peace, when I let it.
