I smell like roses
taste like chocolate
because a fragrance can be a cure
joy and sorrow are equal transactions
in situations of silence
two eyes are stars
like stories are illusions
with blisters on your soul

k.g.

rid me of my heart
and rid me of my soul
because I have become the girl who is lost in yours
the near and far of the future and the past
misconceptions and false hopes
tangled and convoluted
please don't make me let you go
my bed is on the gallows
as over 10,000 reasons took away what was left of me

its the burning after the cut
the sweet sensation that's tinged with sour regret
and you're lost out there in a different place
its a compass though
reminding you, you're not too far from home
however home is broken skin
and a lack of explanations
in every escape
you become far less obvious
watering a garden
that died last winter

it was an endless expansion of noise
human noise
people that you've been before
the ones who you can't help but care for
you're only as wise as the mistakes you've made
and you're only as free as the songs you play

lie a little better
dig a little deeper
spit out the words that are trying to eat you
don't let the caffeine hit you
link the chambers
and battle the weight
achieve tomorrow what you forgot yesterday

page after page
yet none could compare to this story
the story of a girl
who knew she actually couldn't take on the whole world
as separation is a form of punishment
a destroying factor in a lover's quarrel
the love between the sun and the moon
not between the earth and the sky
so why does the day remain angry with me?

These half written stories
And half written goodbyes
And without the missing chapters
I'm just a lost stanza
A pretty flute solo
With a robust cello
Conjoining factors and hazardous laws
The pain and your breath falling together
If only it were as simple as a lone wolf
One times zero equals nothing
Wouldn't you know
