He wrote plays and tears them up
Smoked to much and talked to fast
I would curl up on his chest as he spoke of old  English literature
I admired his mind and lusted for his knowledge
His skin was defined  every furrow told a tale
Deepset eyes with a whiskey tint
A pinwheel of desperation
Birds with leather wings sink into my skin
My suicide toolbox I wear as a party hat
Who decides what we want?
Who extinguishes the fire that burns inside you?
Afraid of touch, nothing to give
Words are weapons screaming at me
I'm living to die, dying to live
Can't catch a full breath
Just don't feel like me, pain obtained
I often wonder do words even come out?
Wrists bleeding, just a frail wallflower
I don't want to talk about it
It has been talked to death
I'm asleep inside my head
Staring at the stars I weep
Take my soul, take my secrets
I'll thrive on sorrow and heartbeats
I can't have anything sharp
Hide the pills she may overdo it again, once again
In the tub the water over my head, begging to drown
I'm found
Tried to end it all, makes me wonder what did I do wrong?
I did not even get a goodbye kiss
I'm in a mental health war
They say talk more
I disassemble my mind
Crying from hunger, sick of habits I can't break
My portrait so fine
Teeth made of veins and apple cores
Reeking of steel
A  wild ray of light runs blue
Wind kissing her *******
The beads of love
Curves of her back
Away in flight
Flowers beneath
I weep on her shoulder
Backwards into sleep
The freight train puts me to sleep
As hollow hands with closed fists fight
Lights cutting the sky
Sleepwalking through life
Poetry is my birthmark
My heart on my sleeve
Wrapped in flames in the distant city
Gypsy whiskey etching freckles across your face
Shadows grasping at my faith, stealing my breath away
Whispering screams settling me in
I gorge on the river bend
The liquid bones are opened wide  
I wear my skin to tight
Driving with a fork and knife in my hand
I smell hunger
The wars of love
Stripping my skin
Leaving me useless and afraid
I found my tooth on the clean kitchen floor
I miss filling your mouth with mine
With blood on my face we made love
You sepreate my flesh, blindfolding my mind
An incision seeping scars
