keep me warm on this cold night
only, it'll take a while
for the ice in my hair
to melt away
Eriko Feb 2016
A stolen pebble
Smooth malachite gleam
And the speckle of blood
Used to hurtle
Right in my direction
It grazed
But never bitten
The blood was never mine
Just blood rubbing from
The palm of your hands
I can tough out the pain
Which soon follows
Now hand me a bat
I'll show you
How to hit back

Poetry is what keeps me up late at night

I dare you
I dare to breathe fire
To walk on glass
To feel the jagged edge
I dare you to confess
To admit
To cut and omit
I dare you
To do all the ****
You said you never would
But secretly do
To book a flight
To cry in public
To go running to the doorstep
With flowers tight in grip
I dare you to
Take the first step
To go skinny dipping
Under the stark moonlight
I dare you to be free
I dare you to fight after
Your deepest desires
I dare you to be
Who you always wanted to be

a railroad of disconnect
just try to resurrect
the distance
