The sudden change in atmosphere
when the sky viciously starts to cry
Like it's seen so many horrible things
that sometimes it just breaks down without any warning
No dribble of rain,
No fade of the sun
Just tears of a cry
That's been held in too long
'Cause the sky can't run to an empty room
When she's had too much
And she doesn't know what to do
                                      Sometimes I break down without any warning, too

I go through phases of cleaning
And I mean cleaning everything
Your room, my room
The entire city
I could clean and clean
But still feel *****

I'm becoming OCD
Obsessive Compulsively Dicking around
What's gonna happen to me,
When he finally gets out?

It's not like I look in the mirror
and see something I don't want to see
But I can't help but feel just a little *****
Ever since he touched me
When I didn't wanna be
Touched

A three month sentence
For a life long pain
If it wasn't for my strength,
He wouldn't even know my name
He'll never know hers
               or hers
                    or hers
But I made sure he knows mine
I wonder if in just three months
He's had enough time
To remember my name
For the rest of his life
To remember my name
As I unconciously recite his
I wonder if he missed his kid
If he called his mom
Or if she called him

Twelve people sat in the jury that day
And I wonder how many of them
Truly believed that three months
Was enough time
To bring justice
To anyone
I wonder if even one of them
Would change their mind
If they heard what I had to say tonight
If they could hear me
I'd make sure they knew
I spent two years
Believing in a justice system that never came through
That I'll spend the rest of my life
Wondering, trying to be tough
Wishing I could finally get clean enough
And he got *three months

Like my own little puzzle,
I finally figured you out
Oh, I wanted you then
But I'm craving you now
I think I want you
And you're so close to me
Oh, I want you
So come closer, baby
I'll frame you
And hang you up high
I'll laminate you
And when people ask why
I'll tell them you are the only puzzle
I could ever figure out

you walk the path made of ash and burnt grass
hows it feel against your bare feet?
as we're breaking down stones of the past
walking beside you here i can hardly breathe
your mouth shuts and the clock stops
you quit speaking at a quarter to three
it's ten past four, you still haven't said anymore
but my ears have heard everything
let me go, i beg you
leg me go, please let me breathe
let me go, i need you to
leg me go, you're killing me

Can you see emptiness?
Not of a glass or an abyss
Emptiness inside a soul
The echoing through something once whole
I just need to know,
Should I hide these holes?
Should I disguise these bruises?
Cover up these scars?
Should we suppress our pain,
To hide who we really are?
I'm 17 years old
And I hurt
And I bleed
Most days I feel lower than dirt
And some days I can't breathe
Who are you to judge me for it?
I just want to know,
Can you see it or do I have to tell you so?
I want to die.
I want to be alone.
But did you already know?
Obviously I wrote this when I was 17. Just recently discovered it again. I'll be 19 on Nov. 2nd.

I asked you what you thought of,
When someone around you said my name,
Without knowledge of who we are
When it is no one but us in a room
You didn't quite understand,
So I began to explain it again
Just before you said,
"I think of cold hands under my covers
Like ice to my neck while you sleep
Feet, just as cold, wrapped around my toes
Because you never can let go of me"
(He wouldn't let me if I tried)
"I think of a barely angry face
With rosy cheeks, more embarrassed than anything
Because I've mentioned you climaxing"
(Again)
"I think of the ways that I wish I could love you
The way you never have to tell me you love me"
Drunk poems are always love poems,
at least for me.

Sometimes when I get high
I imagine I can fly
And I'm not really sure why
But someday I'm gonna try

If I fall,
Tell them it wasn't suicide this time
