blue

why rot in hell
when you can rot anywhere

save the heat
for warming your bones
after the flesh has decayed
oni Feb 2015
i know we cant
be
but sometimes i want to
be
things are strange.

i'll continue to
salvage
the pieces
until they are
too small
to see

you tattooed
your name
on my heart
and likewise,
i want to
burn
my name
into your flesh.

the liquor burned my throat
but at least it made me forget
all of the broken pieces
i keep cutting myself on
oni Sep 2015
you showed me
that even though
my sky is dark,
there are still
stars

and now that
you are gone,
they are going out
one by one
bye
oni Oct 2016
bye
thank you for showing me
that high heels are useless
unless you strut -
so ill reapply my lipstick,
kiss the mirror instead of you,
and move on.

i am
one note
short
of a

but i am

music

you saw my
panic
as a burden
but you should be
scared
when my panic
ceases

i am a
horse
on a
carousel
with four legs
built to run
but i insist
on retracing
the same
circle

i love
you
and
consequently,
the sun
loves the
moon

they expected me
to miss them
but i kept walking
in the opposite direction
hello im alive

if you never change,
you'll never get anywhere -
but if you keep changing,
you'll leave yourself behind.

my heart
belongs to someone
who is not even sure
of how they feel
within their own

ill erase
the pictures

ill put
walls
around the
memories

but ill
order another
cherry coke,
because it
tastes
like you did.

she is nothing like you
but then again neither was i
and i am thankful for that

there is a faint glimmer of hope
in escape

the sound of birds singing
through the window panes

a small stitch on a broken heart
forming with each passing day

a deadline
promising graduation
from here
from hell
from heartbreak

i hope i make it

a cloak wrapped tightly
around the two of us

but where
is the dagger?

whose blade
are we hiding from?

every person
has baggage,
and it is your decision
whether or not
to help them
unpack.

when i was younger
i was scared
that everyone around me
was actually a robot
and maybe i was right
because it seems to me
that i am the only one
with any common sense
so why are we still calling it
"common sense"?
slightly inspired by a day to remember and my strange childhood thoughts,

when i am alone
i stand firm in myself
like a boulder in the ocean

but when i love
the tide is too strong
and i am too often swept away

why do i try so hard
to formulate my own center of gravity
if i so easily let someone else
become the moon around which i orbit

if i am a planet
with my own biome
why do i let someone else
control the weather

i am growing older
and i cannot flourish
without letting someone else
come along and destroy my garden
i am writing again because i am hurting again.
oni Apr 2017
maybe we dont believe
we're beautiful
because those who have
told us that
have hurt us

in a cluster
of trees
beneath fingers
of sunlight
a forgotten
cemetery
lies decrepit
beside an old
back road
named after
an indian tribe

most people
are afraid
of being
forgotten
but i wish
to be buried
in the
forgotten
cemetery
surrounded by
crooked stakes
of rusted
wraught iron
engulfed by ivy

and i wish
to let the
earth
consume me
oncemore

not all

hearts break loudly

overshadowing light

all i can hear
are all of the pieces
hitting the floor

she speaks of you
like you put the
stars in her sky,
and then ripped them out
one by one.

cut
i am an artist
of my own
destruction

i dabble in
shades
of crimson

my only
canvas
is a sheet
of pale flesh

and my artistry
is to
die
for

it could hit at 3 AM
or 3 PM
monday or tuesday
wednesday or thursday
friday or the weekend
on your birthday
at a party
or when you
awaken in the middle
of the night
in a cold sweat

something this unforgiving
strikes fast
strikes first
and strikes hard

something this cold
doesnt care if its summer

something this unsettling
doesnt mind if you *****
all over your friends carpet

youll feel the chill
youll feel the bruise
youll feel the darkness
wherever you go
wherever you are
whenever you least expect it

i smiled at him
and he did not smile back
because muscles cannot move
once they are dead
and that is exactly what he was

papers take on liquid form
i am drowning in them

she loves the things that cut her skin,
she loves the songs that make her cry,
she always falls the hardest
for the boys that make her want to die
everythings destructive if you love too deeply

i could ****
myself
or
my mind
but either way
i will be
dead

she drank
over those who
didnt care,
and built walls
to keep away
those who did.

i could drive
to your apartment
but its

empty

like my head
unlike my heart
like my hands
desperately

grasping

for something

that i am

unsure of

maybe
i am not
your
galaxy,
but i know
that i am one -

so do not tell me
that my stars
are mere
illusions
and my planets
are nothing
compared to
yours,

because maybe
i am not
your
galaxy,
but i know
that i am one

the ties from my
mind
to my
mouth
are already
dwindling,
so why not
sever
them
completely
oni Apr 2017
its always there

sometimes
i get so happy
that i find myself
sad
again

how is it
that two things
that are so different
are so connected?
oni Jan 2015
i asked if you loved me
and you said yes
but i do not know
if yes is yes
or yes is no
because you wrote
your own dictionary
and it is not written
in any language
that my heart can
understand
oni Sep 2015
i am not here
this is not happening
i am a tangle
of stardust
drifting out of
my consciousness

i cannot feel this
you cannot hurt me
i am much
more
than my body

you can fold a map
to make ends meet
but you cannot fold
physical miles
to draw me closer to you

i am the poison
and i am
the smell of death
i kissed you
and you withered
like roses adorning
a tombstone

science says
the bee stings their victim
and dies

keep that in mind
when you take a stab at me
oni Dec 2015
some days i wonder
why you still
remain;
other days
i find comfort
in your
lingering

like a patch of
snow
in the dead
of July -

i dont know
what the ****
youre still
doing here,
but i know
that i am
comforted
by the oncoming
promise of the
cold

the thing about fires
is that sometimes

its been a while
since i was
hospitalized

three years ago
i nervously waited
for my verdict
at 2 AM

so when he called me
tonight
with a voice as tired
as someone who had finally
given up

i knew exactly
what was happening

and i relived
my death wishes
through his soft,
defeated words
oni Apr 2016
one day
i would like to
step out of
my evening shower
to find you
in the kitchen
saying you liked
today's rendition
of our favorite songs

i am not
a
¨lover¨
but rather,
a temporary
fixation
