Drown me in the river
Don’t let me make a sound
Swamp me with beauty
And put me in the ground
Bullets could never hurt
If they came from you
So hold my hand, darling
And heal my fatal wounds
You’re the only one I’d let hurt me
You’re the only one I’d let fix me
Darling, you’re the one I want
To put me in the ground

Break my heart, it’s easier this way

I spend a lot of my time
Chasing a world of make believe
Why live in a cruel world
When you can settle on a nice cloud
Or fly to a happier place?
For the life of me I’ll never understand
Why people allow others to
Treat them so poorly when
They only deserve the best
Why walk across glass
When you could float above the clouds?
Every slap is the softest silk
Every tear is sugar
Nobody wishes to be alone
But being alone
Is better than being afraid
Because fear is very very real
And not the good kind

Lie to me straight to my face
Lie my clothes off lie my legs open
Lie your way into me and watch as the lies roll off your tongue and on to mine
And I take them in without question because trust is what I believed we actually had
But truth and lies don't hold hands and neither do we
Your hands in mine but your hands in hers
Your hands touching me lying to me
Your hands spreading your filth and your guilt
You grab me with these same hands the same hands that formulated the lies spewing from your mouth
Spewing like toxins released I'm gagging on your words
The fumes choke me endlessly I struggle to breathe
You laugh because it's funny, I'm gullible
Or do I just trust too much I trust your sinful lips
Sinful hands sinful teeth hissing promises
Promises you know you can't keep yet you promise promise away
Promises I believe promises I believe you can keep
Promises that enter my bloodstream enter my wounds
They poison me I slowly unravel but your promises keep me breathing
Until they unravel into themselves and you forget why you lied in the first place and you
LEAVE

You leave.
And you poison another you poison her lungs
They bleed they bleed for you as mine did
But now my heart fills with gasoline
A fire too strong to put out it ignites still
With every beat flame arises I melt my insides I'm melting

Lies roll off your tongue and on to mine
I can taste you still.

Fluffy white lullabies
Cotton candy in the sky
Pastel pinks and baby blues
Fields of flowers, pick and choose.
Silky tears on my cheek
Cold water in the creek
Dark skies with a full moon
Don’t worry love, I’ll be gone soon!
Empty pill jar on the floor
Throw up roses, more and more
Cry with every passing thorn
Wheezing while your lungs are torn.
Pasty skin, purple veins
Fighting off the hunger pains
Counting every single rib
Wipe the bleach off of your bib.
Blankly staring at the wall
As every last leaf will fall
Nothing wrong but nothing right
Sit and think of every fight.
Every sin drips from your lips
Shivers through your fingertips
Bleeding everytime you cry
Down a little cyanide.
Haven’t slept for centuries
Smashing the piano keys
Letting out a heavy sigh
Turn your cheek and say goodbye.

We live in a world
Where a size ten model
Is considered
“Plus Size”.

A world where women
Are prudes for wearing too much clothing
And ****** for not wearing
Enough.

A world where men
Are afraid to talk of their abusers
Because they’re afraid of being
Laughed at.

A world where the color
Of your skin makes you
A criminal, or a
Terrorist.

A world where your
Mental illness is only sympathized
If it’s a genetic
Disorder.

A world where women
Are criticized for wanting to
Be able to control their own
Bodies.

And a world where
Nobody cares about your suffering
Until you’re already
Dead.

My scream to you is only a whisper
Why bother when all you do is hit her
Your mama says you’re in trouble, mister
That’s no way to treat a lady!

Baby, what’s the duct tape for?
What of this rope you bought at the store?
That better not be what I think it’s for
That’s no way to treat a lady!

I’m not in the mood for a hit
Not to be battered or bit
Baby, you’re so full of ****
That’s no way to treat a lady!

An accident? She’s dead!
And your palms are stained crimson red
And I can see her body under your bed!
That’s no way to treat a lady.

Flowers planted after dark
Just as you wished, you left your mark
Doesn’t matter how loud I bark
That’s just how you treat your lady.

There she lies, under the ground
Unable to be seen, not to be found
The gardener won’t even make a sound
She knows that’s how you treat your lady.

Dig up the roots, there she lies
Bones broken at the ties
Skull crushed, her demise
We’ve found your lady!

Flowers growing from her bones
Dug out by mindless drones
Results of your uncontrolled hormones
We’ve found your lady.

You were “busy last night”, weren’t you?
While I was bleeding
Shaking
Bruising
Aching.
You were busy, yes?
Busy with what?
Drinking
Smoking
Crashing
Choking?
And while you were “busy”
I was falling
Crying
Crawling
Dying.
But you need your freedom, yes?
You with your yelling
Dancing
Stomping
Glancing...


Who was that you saw?


You said you were sick last night, yes?
Or were you just-
Cheating
*******
Biting
*******?
So while you take your final drink
Just know I'm not as
Dumb as
You would
Think.
