dark spiders crawling
beneath my skin
breeding in my veins
clogging my pores

you are a poison
torturing from the inside out
you tied me to a fence post
marked your territory
and left me to rot

the snowflakes settled
on my eyelashes
melted my flesh
froze my bones

im decaying but im growing
im rusting but im shining
im crying but ill smile
just for you

similar to losing limbs,
i can move on
but never be whole again

the wolves sing
for me to indulge
in these animalistic tendencies

to crush your skull
to rip out your throat
to inhale the beast

i am not ashamed
to dance in your blood
as it is the same shade
as good luck

i never realized
that cutting you out of me
would mean
ripping my whole body apart

you planted your roots
in my veins
and tangled your stem
within my stomach

leaves are curling
out from under my fingernails
and petals are sprouting
from my scalp

i am vomiting up your flowers
and they are
the same shade as your eyes

midnight fireflies;
kisses gone up in smoke

the day she turned lesbian for her best friend,
and the first time he cut himself

the kids will raise their bottles,
and their parents will raise their fists

they will turn the dial on the stereo
until their eardrums burst,
or their fingertips break

i think to myself
as if you could read my mind

but you barely understood
the words i spoke

so why would you
understand my thoughts?
oni Aug 2015
all of these
masks
look down
on me,
and they
do not like
what they see

for what use
is a puppet
that broke free
of its strings
if it can
no longer stand?
