I can feel my body
Pulsing
Through the aisles of your mind.
I'm spinning
Stopping
Falling
Through your fingertips.
I'm water,
Flowing in and out
Of the made up souls.
Self conscious migraine
Seeping through my
Eyelids.
Flit your
Lips
And seal your
Kiss
On my unmade,
Untamed,
Undone,
Undulating
Pathways.

Is she
Floating through your dreams?
Like a
Kerosene butterfly warm with perfume?
Is she
Kissing your eyelids?
And caressing you to sleep with her blonde blue entanglements?
Her lips will part,
And with it your beliefs,
For if she exists
Does anyone else?

Affectionate flames.
Licking up at your ankles,
Flowing through your veins.
Playing with fire,
Lapping at your fingertips,
Swishing past your eyelids.
Stroke the burn until you’re scorched,
Float your fingers through the heat.
Feel it breeze past your thoughts
And entangle in your personality.
Who needs to be a human?
Who needs help existing?
When one is alive,
One is a flame.
Feed the flame,
Care for it,
Kindle and rekindle
Until your hands are calloused
And black.
Pet the flare,
Until you can no longer feel.
Love the fire,
Before it causes you to cease.
For a peculiar thing,
When one plays with fire,
Fire always wins.

Save me from this.
This paranoia cut throat demonhead.
Save me from this.
This painstake thoughtless morning dread.
Save me from me.
My foolproof gunshot motorcade.
Save me from me.
My faceless nameless nightshade.

And when I need you most,
Leave me,
Set me free.
And when I need a smoke,
Cheat me,
Leave me be.
And when you need my taste,
Drink it,
Sip your veins.
And when you go to waste,
Follow me,
Down the drain.

I’ll come to you when the rain is at its final leap.
You won’t be tired if I can’t manage to sleep.
All I need is a quiet place to wind down the roads in my head,
So that you, darling, won’t ever leave this world dead.

Close my eyes and I see you with your friends.
Their bizarro world of coffee never ends.
You’ll speak of leaders and readers and the numb.
While I prance in deaf blind and dumb.

Why is it so many things are in existence?
How can I learn with all of your insistence?
I don’t want to be a burden, but I don’t understand
How you can hope and love with the lower hand.

I still love you.
Even in my dreams.
Even when the moon is bursting at its seams.
If she is what you want,
Leave me pale and gaunt.
I don’t deserve you.

You would leave if you could dear, wouldn’t you?
On the road with Jack Kerouac and the other cuckoo?
If you could leave me alone inside of my mind,
I know you’d run away and away from my kind.

You want to hold me sometimes, I know it.
If only I weren’t so awkward with my tea and my throwings.
I think you’d love me, I know you would too.
If only I could form a sentence without needing you.

I don’t feel any comfort anymore from them.
Your friends have all melted, mine turned seraphim.
So its you and me now, against no one at all.
Can’t you see we’re only ants on an oversized ball?

Leaving my beautiful world behind.
Torn apart, tear me apart.
Keep my face in your mind,
I just want to be lovely.

Being beautiful for you,
Remember my words.
I’m cloudy, you snow.
Ripped to love’s shreds.


Can my life start going wrong?
I need to feel.
Show them all I’m really gone.
Nothing’s really real.

You’re nothing but godly.
Pull me away.
Save this mind from this body.
Don’t breathe today.

No way out.
Drink me down.
Save your shouts.
Homeward bound.
Haley Rome Feb 2013
Veins are the angels of the body.
The flowers in your hair are my arteries.

Your eyes are like lilies
Oh now my pretties.
