My eyes sharply snap
My breathing broken from nightmares ripping apart
The screaming is my own voice now, as I plead to the sky for help
Someone, I cry
Just anyone right now

The silence fills the room again, like it was before
from biological rain streaks on window panes
to mascara black down pours,
I have this need to be surrounded
By company to keep me sane
Yet my presence is but an absence
And those I call out to,
     never hear what I have to say

My day begins and ends the same
My eternal calling never being filled
The ripping of my chest then swallows
What little willpower I have left to live.

Cleaning out the dirt left in the kitchen
Found something great, something special,
Sweet poison sweet love
Stinging like a bee
like a sweet kiss
soft in touch, but burning my heart all the same
I'm not even crying but my eyes are tired
Seeing things it doesn't want to see,
Not even painful memories
Just the harsh reality,
of not love
not even a deluded form
just a microscopic feeling
not even hate
I found my solution
Who knew it would come
Like an Abusive relationship
Between Heart, Home, and Sun
Bruises and Bite marks
Like a Dog might have malled
maybe even a little letter
No big or no small,

What I'm saying is this doesn't hurt
Or maybe it hurts too much
Maybe I'm turning a little numb
from just the right amount of shock
I cant bear to even look
just staring for a moment, hiding shame?
is it shame
I honestly don't know
I just want to kiss you, but im kissing my skin
because this doesnt hurt
not the same kind of hurt we feel
but a sweet sweet kind
the kind only i can take

The plague is running red now
My heart is pit-pattering something fierce
The storm is raging harder
my lonely ship could sink
I feel I have been defeated, rather than what actually transgressed
There are so many things I could have said, but would you understand
Dont throw those feelings around, with words Ive always dreaded

My Apollo, My Muse, come to do
as all gods do
Punish the tempted, who stay strong for nay, is said to soothe
What ever happened to Job, for staying steadfast to higher standards

And then his lips placed judgment, into my enlightened ear
Ive always had a likeness for you, you said without batting an eye
yet we have other people we are promised too,
you still increase with pride
Ive always despised this confidence you have, with destroying others lives
So many women have fallen,
and so many have been tossed aside

Oh foul morality, I do, I hold so true
The warmth of your skin against mine, could tame even the coldest shrew

Yet there I am in silence, turned away from your sight
Of the man Ive idolized for centuries, wearing nothing but his smile

I beat myself to the punch as I always do
I started my own sabotage, before its embraced

                             I don't think before I do
                         and yet I still kiss before I do

My prince has left the castle
and I forgot my shoe
no one chased after
now my foot is sore, and the other as-cue
I feel this trend is all too often
Its apparent and as clear as mud

                            I love a man, thereafter
                     He lines himself with her or him

My heart is meticulously broken
like shattered glass that turns to sand
breath in the shards of my war crimes
and press my face to agitated skin

I feel a white hot passion
one that might sound queer
I ache for tragic moments
and endless feelings of despair,

My body yearns for broken promise,
words, lies, and lost love,
an episodic adventure

filled with tear stained faces, swollen lips, and pulled hair

If you take a left at the pier
I promise you wont be disappoint
in the amount of sights and sounds

The lights meld with watery waves
who crash upon aged wood

Singing softly to organisms dwelling atop
the crushed salt breathes into your heart
a pit-pat only talented songstress could imitate

- Id go with you if I could
but I'm growing tired and old
my skin is flaked and aged

So begin your journey down the road
and take a left
at the merry old pier
filled with old memories that will fill your ears
Ill meet you soon but not in this way,

In the sands of the waves and the flashing lights
in the salted incrustations atop wooded planks
on the polished boats of greedy racers,

there you will hear my voice as it carries in the wind
pit-pat patterns that only your heart could create

Hug
Kisses- of which I cannot breath
Hand shakes are faulty
Waves are but gestures, varied in length
Blowing kisses is elementary
A hug is however

An intimate gesture that can only grow
as moments pass slowly,
Let me stay for awhile
Don't let go
til I say,
Til my heart will stay calm

I feel as though I am floating
Extended space is fading
No kiss can match
as melted bodies embrace

I sigh softly as our time ends
I wasn't done quite yet
but that's how it goes, as most of us know
