another spent hour in the corners of my heart
because central, there's never enough light to the dark
persistent downpour of intangible rain
no antidote strong enough to thaw out my brain

hooked in a rhythm, perpetually aligned,
reeling through each moment I fail to define
marked recalls of others,
the pivotal pivot
your hands on my face
your teeth in my vision

uselessly used and again thrown away,
you walk from the atrophied heart on display.

and when our bodies met in tandem
in the moments of your fire
i knew that i could not but bear
your lustrous, wrought desires
first in by your unyielding hand
blocked air, i couldn't say
once captured by the twisted way
you stole oxygen from my brain
the one day when the switch did flip
i saw your demons, bold
the first time when i truly thought
you wouldn't loosen your hold.

i feel more sorry for the clothes i wear
and have dragged thoroughly deep

because I realize there's more life in them
than there is life in me
despair, my old familiar friend
Kelly Oct 2021
wrapped in arms i wish were yours
i'll abandon dreams i wore
its fine, no one i've loved loved me
i've felt this loss before
sick.

the people i've been
and
the places i've known.

The hardest part about honesty
From somebody of avoidance
Is once you start using it
They’ll only hear the shake in your voice
it doesn’t matter

the clouded vignette forever tainted in edge
i'll abuse your presence to counter my dread
when thoughts of his influence enter my head
i'll force you beneath me, beg you to break my bed.

i'll search for your monsters
and bleed through your skin
pulse your body into me
forget where I am

craving your teeth sunken, hands around my neck
to feel what he felt like
those years before he left.
2016.
