Sulfur Dioxide
Luna Jul 2013
Why does it always burst to come out?
Is that why it hurts so much from the inside out?
Clawing its way up to my mouth,
Seeping out, Like sulfur, No doubt.
And in an accident we can't escape,
No more breathing for us,
For me, it's too late.

Emotional Cheating
Luna Jan 2014
A surreal affair
Intense kisses -melt my skin
Limerence deeply seated within.

The way you look,
When it's only you and I.
You can see my heart through my chest,
I wear your name on my arm -my sleeve over it, dressed.

We were coming together
Ye were coming apart
Collapsing, just like you do into me,
like my chest that rises back to your cheek.

3am
Luna Jul 2013
3am
It's nearly 3am,
And I lie awake, 'cas I'm thinking 'bout you again.

And I smile a smile too big for my head,
'Cas I know you're fast asleep in your bed.

I write this on paper 'cas that's what you'd do,
Because it's 3am and I'm still thinking of you.

Paths
Luna Mar 2014
Threading lines in my mind
Trying so hard to find
Tracing lines on your skin
'til I formulate better words within.

Treading words in my head
They're crawling up my throat to be said
They come out my fingertips
I hope you understand, though not from my lips.

Threading lines through my mind
Trying so hard to find
Tracing paths on your skin,
That I'll find home somewhere within.

Orange
Luna Apr 2013
It's a very, very poor state to be in,
To feel like you're missing something inherent within,
Feeling like you're missing a limb,
And they do say that lovers are extensions of them.

Loneliness indeed can ****,
And oh, believe me, it certainly will,
Feeling like a hole is in,
The place where your heart shoulda been.

And you miss them so much,
You won't let anyone in, won't let anyone touch.
Pining or longing, 'Cas you're sick of feeling like you're not belonging,
Don't the two feel strangely similar? Still, There's nothing I can do.
I just wanna be next to you, I just wanna be next to you!
Luna Dec 2012
The way her chest falls and rises again
to come back and meet with her clothes,
I find it comforting - not sure why,
but I do.

Maybe, It's because when I see her breathing in,
Slowly, relaxed, on time,
She can do it, so then I know,
So can I.

The waves come in and hug the sand,
Just like her chest does in breathing.
I come in to hold her hand,
but she's forever leaving.

Prince
Luna Apr 2013
I miss you so much
That I can feel it like a deep fresh wound
'Cas you had my heart, when we went our ways,
I had nothing to fill the space, So, I'm bleeding out.

You know, baby, that I can see,
Straight into you,
I know you're forgetting me.
I didn't think it would really be
Quite this hard, but, you've got to be kidding.

Cigarettes
Luna Apr 2013
Sweet cigarette,
Oh, Calm me down.
With your pollution and disease,
You'll drag me down.
Smoke will still bellow from my mouth,
As I'm laid down underground.
Smoke festering in my lungs,
Reminds me to breathe in and back out.

Sitting at a bench outside, rolling up,
My memory hands work to their mechanical talk.
The world around is a drone - like me,
An incomplete tone, You see.
I feel like I'm continuously falling back,
Seeing, feeling nothing but alone,
Then there's the black.

In Vacant Or Pensive Mood
Luna Dec 2012
My eyes burn,
From the rising sun,
It's today's turn,
But dark will always come.

The emptiness inside;
If feels like all I have is a void,
A vacant body, with a broken hollow heart.
And I hide.

I've never been one to be dependent on much,
But I need you in viewing distance, 'cas it can't be to the touch.
I couldn't even go today with you you,
My darling,
This shouldn't be true.
You need to make my heart a ruin.
You need to break it so I'll stop needing you.

I wish there was something I could do to make it stop.
Oh, it aches from the bottom of me to the very top.

Distractions
Luna Jul 2013
Chunks of yesterday coming back one by one,
My future's going like looking through a fogged-up window.
I don't feel like leaving my bed, It's warm like her smile,
Before life rips me from once more, I'll lie longer a little while.

I feel it constantly coming closer, tick-tick-tick-tock.
The sky is growing heavier, Slowing down my walk.
N' everyone's speeding 'round led by "busy" lives,
Well, I walk around all too aware of distractions, wondering how and why.

Scorched
Luna Aug 2013
I don't think you really like me,
I think I'm just there.
And stumbling and stifling,
This doesn't seem fair.

Sharpness no longer stings,
It takes my arm and quietly sings.
Sharpness no longer stings,
It takes me and soundlessly sings.

Stars and Streetlights
Luna Dec 2012
Shining far away, but I see you,
Are you shining at me?

I get so lonely, so easily,
I just want someone to sleep next to,
So I can ignore the pain.
Anyone would do,
But especially you.
You'd make it all go away.

Now they're aggravating me,
They're doing it on purpose.
I clutch my head,
I rip it all out with a blade!
I rip out the pain causing feelings.

Twinkling in the distance,
You are taunting me.

Sorry.
Luna Dec 2012
I am a groggy, vacant drone.
I am red, spluttered words down the phone.
My eyelids are sandbags.
My heartbeat, it lags.

Gold Flecks
Luna Jun 2013
Why is there a glass pane between me and everyone?
It's becoming so strong that I even hear the rain through the sun.
And you're falling away from me, but this girl can't,
Catch ye ragdolls up, ye must slip through this hand.

Gold flecks you have left all over me,
A beacon of hope as they shine out relentlessly,
If you stay, the light can break through and you'd see,
The light blare through the darkness in me.

A feeling of regret sets in, before we've even ready, set,
You're still in my vision and I can't handle it.
My heart will feel your presence, even when you're not near,
My heart will feel your shadow, as if you were right here.

Candor
Luna Nov 2012
Sitting quietly in the hall,
But I can hear you through the wall.
It's okay to not always stand up tall.
You don't need this wall, for me, at all.

It would be nice sometimes to know,
That you're not afraid 'let your feelings show,
You can be vulnerable with me, you know?
I only want to be there for you.

I mean, it's hard for me not to feel,
It seems to be the only thing I do anymore that's real.
But not everything's about that when it comes to you.
'Cas you matter so much more to me, than I do.

I wish you would just stay longer, a little while,
And we could chat awkwardly, just so I can see you smile.
And I really don't care, they can say whatever they say.
I just don't want to ever see you walking away.

Soliloquy II
Luna Sep 2014
Why are some nights
so sad?
Stuck in the study
of a brown paper bag

Staring out the window
straight to the sky
A stinging, decolourised lullaby

Growing Up
Luna Apr 2013
When I look into the mirror and see myself,
I do not see a thing.
I just about I recognise who I see,
And I'm not even sure if they look okay or ugly.

I looked into the space because I thought it was a mirror,
But yet, is this a reflection of me?
Certainly, now, I see.

Soliloquy III
Luna Aug 2015
Back to my growlery
white porcelain tomb
last night hammers on me
pecking my lune

Inundated
I am cestus- hewn
illustrated
by full moon

Welting my hands
against wall
the palisade
is built tall

Forced gorged feelings
torch where they hide
weighted tactics
lying beside this great divide

Shiver to a nosedive
I traverse the night
holding dearer
contrite and struggle to overwrite
broken glass, a mirror,
eyes say- though now mute-
with each heave, “et tu brute?”

Löwenzahn
Luna Jan 2014
Your heartbeat is my favourite song,
I sing it all day.
I want you to be my little rose,
We grew where we lay.
I'm the lions tooth,
And I want to be brave!
But I can't stay.

I can't stay.

An Infinite Apart
Luna Mar 2013
I can't look into your memory eyes,
They retain all my feelings from the past and I
Can't bear you so close, so close you interfere with my every thought,
Every detail of you, I notice, but don't want to.

As your red nails play at the edge of the page,
I think how I wanted you closer before,
But now I can't take it,
And I'm smiling
But how am I supposed to be able to breathe with a heart that is torn?
Every feeling leaks out,
And anyone I hold dear in it will fall away from me.
An infinite apart.

Butterfly
Luna Jan 2014
I keep pictures of you on my phone,
So I can smile even when I'm alone.
Reliving the past may not be healthy,
But I want it to last.
I feel cold without you here,
I'm darker inside without you, I fear.
Together- We are not contrived,
You make me feel alive.

Noose Tether
Luna Sep 2014
Too busy keeping everyone
together
to see right here
falling apart
I try to rope it tightly
to choke the air out of a knot
but it's slipping & making way
for the dark space
and as it encroaches
waiting
afraid
awake

Impression On My Heart
Luna Nov 2012
My love was once like ink, that was indelible on my chest.
It was on my heart and it was public for almost all the rest.
It stayed for four years without disclosure, and then I did.
And then I never hid,
And we didn't stop talking.

But my love began to wear away,
Because you couldn't feel the same way.

It still lingers, and you can still trace the faded letters with your fingers.
It left a mark on me too, as if it were engraved right behind those letters, those words, now forever too true.
But I was basically forced to not love you.
So I had no other choice, but to try and let go, and go on with the show,
*This is a fake front of progress for being over you.

Brontide
Luna Aug 2015
Can't you remember the brontide?
how we tried
to hide
in eachothers embrace
face to face
away from that place

All I want is to be back
let the rafter break
wind so strong
makes the house shake
the good winter
as a soundtrack to us
we could rebuild the truss

C'est Moi
Luna Sep 2014
Welcome in, there's no one home.
I'm always all alone.
Vacant as the night sky,
but the twinkling is a lie.

The lights are on,
but the warmth is gone.
Like the sun going down behind the hill-
You're always leaving,
'Cas these are spaces you can't fill.

To bee
Luna May 2016
The buds of new love, snipped-
as sad a sight as the body of a bee, dead amongst my feet

We should be flying too

through fields of wildflowers
but we were not granted
what we should
as one finds a kindred soul
we may not have eachother
254 · Aug 2015
Time
Luna Aug 2015
losing days
and losing time
I'm sleeping in
I'm flying

losing mind
do you mind?
not sleeping right
can't find

time rushing by
nothing seems to heal
too much of a feeling
so I won't feel

rid the keeper, restless sleeper
wound getting more complicated
and deeper

— The End —
