How am I suppose to breathe
When air keeps its distance?
How am I suppose to believe
when love runs out of existence?

I am the one
Who must live with
Myself.
Inside there is nothing.

Am I the only one
Who bites till they bleed?

Life is indeed precious
At the same time dispensable.
Just as nature intended.

I am my own crime
I am my own punishment
Thank you Theo for your kind words..
You ****.

How could we
How could you
How could I?
We are already ******.

Remember to say goodnight to your demons,
Goodnight envy
(Goodnight)
Goodnight hatred
(Goodnight)
Goodnight lust....

What happened to us?
Dante would think we lost our minds.
Scoffing and cursing.
Spitting in our faces.
His Inferno is today's Paradiso.

Where is our conviction?
In exile? A black site?
Surely not living amongst us.
We speak as if it doesn't exist.

Repent
Absolve
Proceed
Enlighten

Who is responsible for declaring women as less than?
Why did we not cut his tongue out?

Peace starts when man ends.
Indeed we are the ******* children of Gaia.

Drugs are taking affect..

As the lights are put out
Heavy lulls and sways
Arise in my steps and breath.

Care not for the dreams
On the floor
Nor food on the plate

A cerebral drift into
Nightmares and clouds..
Shadows will start to move.

The only comfort here is knowing
I'll be welcomed with open arms
And mouths

When my eyes finally draw to a close.
My flesh will be consumed
Yet again.

I find it crazy how any of us can die at any moment yet we live our lives always planning for the future.

I,
As in
The young Nicole
No longer exists

The Nicole
From now is
Made up
I made her
So one sees
Inside me

And,
Like i
Is an
Imaginary number
i
Am an imaginary me
Random...

Got Guanxi
Through the woods and over the train tracks,
they left for days but came back different.

It wasn’t soon long gone before they found out that,
Some teeth are sharper than others.

A a sharp knife isn’t effective for as long as a claw hammer.
To be blunt.

We never had enough, we never made waves with the velocity to make a strong swimmer drown in tough waters.

Dogged deep teeth and red wine stains in the carpet.
They don’t recede easily or back down without a fight.
there's no shame in command, but theres no virtue in cheap tricks.

We didn’t see them for days,
that barbed wire fence with it’s nylon victims flapping in the wind.
Battle ground house holds, but peaceful playgrounds.
We stayed until the bells rang and then we slowly walked home.

I carved your name into a tree, or was it mine. I can’t remember,
the tree says Nathan, so I guess that says so much.

I left my scarf in those woods. I wonder who found it.
maybe it’s still there or decayed in time.
who knows,

the woods might have the answers if we could only would ask the trees.
