Shrugged Free of Flesh
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
The way that love makes me feel
So terribly out of my skin...
It's like I'm shaking it off of my shoulders,
As the breeze cools me within.
My muscles bare and naked;
A suit of skin upon the grass.
Pale, young, and lively,
As it is reflected in the glass.
The confidence I had before -
The everlasting faith within myself -
Has reached a state of stagnancy.
For now it lies upon the shelf.
Out of my skin, you all can see
The truth of what
Is truly me.
My thick skin,
My rough exterior,
Is the means by which
I decline to be inferior.
For love feels like a sign of weakness,
Though I know within my bare heart,
That it takes a brave little soul indeed,
To take chance to be torn apart.
And as I may worry,
And as I may whine,
For you,
It seems
Quite worth it this time.
So see me now,
Without my skin.
Shrugged off my body,
Like wrinkled linen.
I removed it so you could see the purest form
Of the love I could soon possess.
Without the dirt and the bugs on my skin
Contaminating what I must express.
And inside I know it need not be perfect,
But for you I will try to make it so.
I've bore out of my flesh,
So now I must confess,
To the emotion that scares me below.

"We."
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
Calmly sweeping my eyes over you
And begging you to see.
But we've got your favorite movie
Playing on the old tv.
We're both worn out.
I know you're tired.
Right now I'm trying to make you feel
Like your hard work has been admired.
So I tell you, "Sit down,
I've got it."
And you smile and relax
And ask if I'm sure.
And I nodded.
As we lie there together,
I just want your eyes on me.
So I whine,
"I just want your attention."
Ever so desperately.
Because I love when you see the good in me,
I need to be good to see it.
So I'll treat you like a king and give you everything that you have ever needed.
And I love when the things I do,
Make you in awe by me.
Because I'm just a girl
And you're just a boy.
But together that makes us
"We."

Toxic
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
I'm tired of all the melodrama;
The misery in me.
The dreadful adoration
Of the blood I like to see.
I can say all I want
That I simply crave happiness;
That all I need is love.
But there's that toxic part of me,
With the dark side it is dreaming of.
The dark side of the fantasy.
The way it likes to feel
A little broken;
Down and out.
Some subconscious *** appeal.
For one split second I love the fact
That you hurt me till I cried.
That sick sliver of myself,
That has never, ever died.
The infatuation with misery.
The martyrdom within.
I am sick and twisted, I am
Caressing Horror's skin.
I'm ****** her and beating her,
And loving the sounds she makes.
I'm no child.
There is no god.
And I am just a fake.

Hold It
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
Hush, hush, hush.
Break your skin against the stone.
Climb your legs up to the top
Of your brittle little bone.
Rest a hand upon the eye
That rests itself and
With a sigh.
Show yourself;
Show yourself the words.
The meaning of the glory of
The irrelevance of the church.
Brush your hair and
Hold your thighs.
They quiver just
Like your insides.
Like when I touch you in the moment.
You're shaking now.
You're shaking.
Hold it.

Do Not Stray
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
As I do propose that in my critical subconscious you have shattered the lines finely composed within the fabrics of my skin and bones. However, in the sense of making friends, I had you by the hand foreshadowed at a time when even your heart was not wholly vacant. Further from that point in the timeline, 17 years since my birth, you had triggered your curiosity; your finger horrendously excited to see where it could lead us as a twosome. Our mutual friend had made a false reality of his sense of he and I which distracted you from the critical point of your infatuation. You contemplated upon the idea that I had been made an allusion and that you did not, in fact, have proof to hypothesize about which character had been true to mine. Consequently, you acted upon this realization and, without regret, went forth to present yourself and your adoration of and to myself. I cannot express to the true extent of my gratefulness to the simple perception that you had been able to form your own opinion and use your own ideas to postulate your decision on who I could be. I'm miserably infatuated with you upon the series of events sequential to this occurrence. Do not stray, for I have let you in and have minimal intention of letting you back out within an admirable amount of time.

Just To Fucking Say It
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
Let's just *******
Smoke a bowl
I want to just get
Out of my mind and
Out of my clothes
I want to hold your face
Within my hands
I want to fly
I want to
Dance
I want to whisper secrets
Build a fort
Write each other notes and
Think out loud
Would you just hold my hand and
Look at me that way you do
That makes me feel
So flawless
So unbroken
So young
So innocent
So shy
And press your chest against mine
Squeeze me tight
I'll teach you how to
Smoke a bowl
And you'll sing with
Your sweet
Sweet voice and I'll
Say
Let's get married
Just to ******* say it

Lovechild Forest
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
I can't wait to see your skin.
Bare and smooth;
Shy and thin.
It's when your hips
Line up with mine.
The bond between becomes divine.
As all our chakras together align.
For as long as you last
You are solely mine.
Our eyes slightly different,
Yet both a darling green.
It's like a lovechild of a forest
Each time that they just meet.
Hello my one lover.
They say,
Hello my sweet thing.
The way we move together,
Like an innocent porch swing.
As your body grazes mine I open
My mouth to let you know
That in this moment of pleasure together
I will never let this go.

Trust Issues
Heather Lapp Feb 2013
Are you scared yet?
Are you
Paralyzed by fear?
Are you afraid to lose the boy
You truly hold so dear?
For you had given him all you had,
When you hadn't much to give.
It's difficult for you to forget the past,
And just continue to live.
Live without the worry;
Live without being so scared.
Love someone with all your heart for once;
Something you previously never would have dared.
Love until you feel true abandonment,
And loss of all control.
Your hand need not be on the wheel.
Let it be driven by your soul.
Let him guide you along.
Believe in his loyalty.
You know that he is smitten with you.
You know that he is yours.
So calm down and walk beyond
Just the receding shores.
Feel the waves around you
Force your muscles to relax.
Let it engulf your pale frame.
He is your present,
Not your past.

Temporarily Infinite.
Heather Lapp Jan 2013
Our friends try and throw us off
And make us out to be so bad.
But then what kind of people are they?
Saying things like that.
Because you make me happy.
You treat me like pearls.
You're the only one I see.
You've made your way into my world.
It's still so soon and yet
I have this strong instinct of us being
Temporarily Infinite.
