I like to sit across from my __
She usually tells me about how I should be better. But I don't want to be.
Everyone says my generation's only talents are to keep our legs open and Our mouth's closed. I like to think we can read and write and
Fall in love with strangers on subways in the forgotten underground.
Everyone says that we don't know how to live righteously
But if we were never taught how can we learn?
Someone once told me to keep my legs shut,
They told me ladies know better.
They told me when their eyes not their lips.
They told me to keep my mouth closed.
They told me with their actions not their words.
But it doesn't matter now.
If you're going to say to me:
"You're from that generation"
I'll say to you:
"If you wanted to change us you should have taught us
If you wanted us to pave the way you should have shown us the starting Road
We were taught to sing praises to those who came before us.
But what for?"

Yellow like the dandy lions
Like the fire oozing out of my veins
I just called you five times
You now have five empty voicemails
Telling you:
You are like cobalt blue
Eyes spark, they cut like diamonds
You're piercing
You're sublime
Those voicemails
I don't think they ever sent
You know the airways
Always carry away a part
Of your soul
Yellow like the sky at daybreak and the earth's core
We were all connected
Through time
And we are still missing a link

It's the way you held my hand, my midsection. You whispered a thousand lairs tails into my hair. You like to say I'm hard like the good way, you're just easy like the bad way. You don't realize the only thing better than my love for you is my love for me. I know you don't care but if you could kiss my brow tomorrow then I might be able to love you today. You're too cute and cool and a narcissistic, self-centered ----------------- Hey, say you love me one more time. You go on forgetting my name and I'll go one writing
hearts around mine
with yours.

Blue Silk
You told me
That you loved in so many
Languages
"hassen, detester, viha, ura"
Since when did you decide to
be honest?
Blue Silk
You used to say I was
Only worth
Every time I laid still
I used to pretend I could
See the stars on
Your ceiling
Blue Silk
The only way
You'd know I'd been
Lying would be to swim
Through my tears
You kiss me to muffle my
Sobs.

A young girl
Covered in
Bruises runs
Down the road
Slipping over her
Tears; opens her
Mouth to call for help
And blood spills out.

She came by talking and asking
asking and talking
She came by talking money
and asking for forgiveness
She came by thinking
money could buy happiness
and prosperity would
grant her the key to heaven
She came by lying
with her legs open
and cheating
with her heart closed
She came by crying
She came by
She came
and then she was gone.

May the addictive
Properties
Consume you
So I don't have to.
You say,
"She doesn't know where she's going."
But I say
I don't know where
I came from.
If this is a 2 way street
Then I'd rather be on
The 1 way road
If I could say
Anything to you
It would be my
Name as you fall
Asleep at night.

people say you gotta
speak slowly
breath softly and
tell me you -----
people say you gotta
eat health
breath slowly and
tell me you -----
people say you gotta
move fluidly and be
sane and wild and free and tamed and cursed and blessed and everlasting and dedicated and happy and helpful and kind
and
speak softly
and
breath slowly
and
tell me,
please god tell me,
tell me
"I love you."
