Keep filling
the sky with
the pure laughter
of your soul
then rise
my dear
rise
Ascension
No one has skeletons
in their closets anymore
we've disclosed too much of
our ***** bones

Now we are left with
nothing but this flesh
without the things that
make us ugly and
keep us upright

No shadows or dark secrets
to keep us awake at night
Nothing to process or to aspire to

No more dreams but the wicked
fodder of a life lived in conformity
and
on the surface
We all need to hide something and let it stay there until it's ready to be unveiled.
He told her a secret
She asked why me?
He said I trust people I like
And she smiled sheepishly
Without knowing
One day she’d be on the other side…
Why does this place feel more like home than my own?
It wasn’t until I left my own house that I realized it was never really my home.
I was.
Four walls.
Brick and mortar.
I am my home.

The first time I gathered up enough courage
To tell my father his sons name
He looked at me
I watched his mouth move

"It'll be hard for me to let go" He says
He says
He says
He says
Like that would grab the dying name from Hell
And drag it back up again
But it doesn't
And he's disappointed

"You'll always be my little girl" He says
And my throat dries
And my heart dies
And my eyes shut tight
Like that would shield me from the sword
He stabbed into my very being
But it doesn't
And I'm disappointed

The first time I gathered up enough hate
To rip my body into little shards
He looked at me
I watched his mouth smile
Coming out to my dad did not go well lets just say that much
And for the first time in forever,

I danced alone in the kitchen at 1am

without the help of alcohol

Styles
Glistening with wetness,
fingers fitting in like Tetris.
Cream dripping on the mattress.
Pillow firming press against your ****,
gyrating to the thoughts of being licked.
Then ****** on like a twisted piece of licorice.
Pleasure leaking from your body through your hips
Desire holding your body captive like a hypnotist
Your skin crawling with desire screaming it's fix
Drowning your finger in a pool of your juices
Your hips ****** and twist,
and mind, lift and dip.
Our bodies working a full shift,
like we were built for each others fit.
You biting on the sheets,
I'm biting on your lip,
****** at the same time;
when our world eclipse-
our-space doesn't exist.
Off to another world,
a briefly escape to,
a pleasure abyss.

I looked at her and it broke my heart to see my lies dripping down her
cheeks
I really am ****** this time around
