i lie down in my filth
rotting away
enamel dissolving
hair falling onto the ground
my skin has ripped at the seams
nothing will not remind me
can’t stop thinking
everything is subjective
no one can truly say what it means
please melt away the
wrongs in me make me pure

i lay here hollow
for you to fill the spaces between my temperaments
im so sorry i have enough anguish for the both of us
and that it may feel you can’t stand the burden of your own around me
But the lovely things between each switch
bring me unimaginable hope
That one day you can feel the same
i will repent every misery laid onto you
because im undeserving of your heart
im undeserving of your embrace
feelings i fight that say I’m undeserving of you
may one day i can awake
feeling that I deserve you as my only faith

the storm has passed
but the aircrafts’ echos linger
a quiet sunrise will always cleanse the weak
will your problems seep into the broken earth?
squeezing between ages of the bones
no
because unlike them
you were chosen
so indebted you are
and pain will sow upon your heart from now on

apology secs
mark soltero Apr 2021
don’t just love me
kiss me right
you make me feel so shy
terrains ablaze
everything is so beautiful when we take a bite
boiling under my skin
the love i keep
we won’t be alone
free of sin
sometimes it’s hard to not play the martyr
sorry if it makes you cry
each time it’s out
we realize

so that i can avert my true fears

blissful asphyxiation
mark soltero Oct 2020
smoking makes me happy
the pain in my lungs reminds me
i am merely man
suffocating myself
just to feel something
not of self deprecation
you keep me safe up here
above the smoke
beyond the barriers of this world
a simple touch
takes me places i could never go
without blackening my insides

ur body
mark soltero Oct 2020
a prophet of new blood lives among us
one who can guide us through the night
the leader who’s equipped
he does not dwell on yesterday

he lives in the present
and traces of him remain in the form of a mark
keep us warm like the body of one you love
protect us from the unholy nature of the dark

the prophet resides inside me
in order to give him strength
he needs to feed on your body

let him drink
allow him to quench his thirst
with his yearning for power
you’ll always come first
mark soltero Sep 2020
i beg pain to breed my pleasure
the thoughts moving around my head
seem to bring out
the inner peace i seek

like the creator’s discovery of jacob’s ladder
my afflictions expose to me
chaos consummating it’s presence
no sense can be made of this

like god
they aggregate my fears
separating each by fallacy

nothing feels better
than feeding each like my pets
like the unconditional love i’ve never had
i promise them i won’t abandon them

mark soltero Sep 2020
in the dead of night
it always feels like
exhilaration
self hate leaves doubtful residue within me
it’s led me to deny god
how could he do such a thing to me
feelings equate the inferno of my past
to the blaze of my home
often thinking about how i did this
it’s my acceptance of less than love
that has created the deadly persona
practiced divination
to find the answers
of my self doubt
the stars say they shine for me
something in me doesn’t believe them
in me
the liar resides
happiness isn’t allowed
he’s dying though
i might be free soon

echos of ageless souls ring aloud
they yearn to tell
the meaning of our pairing
something beyond the lust
of my gaze
past the sense of intoxicating vulnerability
why do they allow the wandering serpent to roam babylon
absent of knowledge of what’s to come
can he relinquish all inhibition
to reach the realms of nirvana
or will he implode like the the morningstar

sometimes i feel like a waste
a waste of space
a waste of time
a waste of breath
a waste of my own mind
a waste of any and all kinds
it feels hopeless to try
to reprogram
if it’s already so hard
to live without letting out further cries

strolling the candescent street
they don’t make me feel like a creep
my scent has you saturating
with me it’s only me penetrating
that place you really wanted to show me
last week
won’t you just lie in my face
everything i do makes me weak
i find myself fighting
my others
they’re whisperings cloud me with envy
you’re too lovely
some things in this world are god given
they’re given as gifts
but your sorrowing lies pity me

try to pretend you’re not mine
just to feel the pain
the sweet emotions of sorrow
lingering from my old life
the feelings you guarded
me is what you need
hard to swallow
your love is what created this
somehow i don’t want you
i need you
but it’s not the same
as it was before
because with each i love you
they comes from a place of purity
you mean the world to me
how do you live your own fantasy
when it’s been with me

what can you do when the tides begin to strengthen
and your arms begin to weaken
your lungs begin to tighten
the light within me used to shine bright
these days the flame dwindles low
i can’t get far away
you can’t escape yourself
it seems like i won’t ever get help
like the predestined choice of failure
how can i succeed
living around so much indignation
everything I lack
is my humiliation

scarlet bruises on my neck
id burn my knees just to make you smile
nothing sweeter than the pain in your eyes
and our time slowly chips away
as our bodies shed their mortality
even momentarily
nothing but you
all of my love now lives inside
each dying as we lay


did you get to finish too?
im definitely making fun of myself

can i be good
mark soltero Nov 2020
i can’t help but think of how i will never live up
to any and every expectation
of others
and of my own

i wish i could live confidently
living without caution
bursting at my seams with power

but i am weak
i can’t be what you or i want me to be
that doesn’t really seem possible
with all that i lack

the silent whisper of confirmation
that this body is undesirable
my smile is vile
what i lack is all i  have

they say make with do
but i rather throw a penny away
than hope i can save it for later
because that’s sadly how i am
wired to immolate

your lips so soft
limp for mine
to lead us into the intentions of hope
hope for love
for forever
and the day after that
kiss in sync
and slide against me
with your being
body of a goddess
a lot of living tonight
love isn’t my only shared desire
it’s everything you long for
i want to be the comfort at night
the warm feeling in your eyes
glowing for your heart
accept the beauty of our souls
the concept of together

tears bleed out for you
and now few days go by
where i want to be beneath
six feet below the terrain
this is my declaration of inner peace
to banish away all the pieces broken
from the hateful beings
of before our time
the lines of happiness
that i would shoot up in me
have lost their gilded shine
now they’re just fragments of my childish despair
you’re all the drug i need

the touch of the midnight hour
gifts me your soul
you make me feel real
all to question what is
this seems undiscovered
the thoughts of the unequivocal reality
how can it be
am I worthy
of you for you to be
present entropy
the
breath out our lungs
our bodies pour
bloods bursting throughout
the world sleeps
while we barter affection with each other
spent just below the ether
will thy beloved end me
if you don’t need me

tears don't dry
they drown you

when you're crying forever
they don't tell you that you may die

dehydration that comes
it comes without pleasure
just to ruin your day

why don't we appreciate
when others try harder
or when their things are better

why don't we just stop
forever and ever
voids inside the universe should overtake us
we were never truly fit to live

we were made to cycle
and to turn to dust
to rot away and die
not to wallow and cry

no more do i want to be cold
your warmth creates a barrier
from the world and us
nothing comes before it
our path laid out
hopeful and sweet
your kisses are true for what’s known to me  our feelings are growing
into what i once thought couldn’t be
truly clean
every time you feel my grace
come inside
you become one with me
one day we’ll meld together
til then i’d hope to stay by your side
warm and true

Im in my head again
I feel sick
overtaken with tar
Time is not relative here
long and continuous
I feel ashamed
of the damage
the damage of blood spilled for wrath
misguided words
cut deep
cruelly numbing your nerves
a shock to our nervous systems
i want to cut me away for you
starve my old self
restrain his limbs
make him limp
That’s over never again
shut your eyes
please forgive
I want to see your grin
not to lose you once more
please believe the words of the *****
his honesty is Frank
But refreshing
a lashing is needed
But don’t depart again
refresh the system

my tender heart aches
at the thought of any slight change

any and everything
within the right constraints
may cause inconceivable discomfort

blank stares and angry confusion haunt me
they live within the uninhabited parts of me
they’ve decided to take shelter within the parts i’ve closed off for good

empty rooms they fill
inching in my mind
the worms grow by feeding on my discomfort

how they wish i was dead
sometimes i make peace and side with them

that make me want to die

i cannot allow this to eat me alive
today it may win

is grieving for a stranger unfair?
it feels wrong to follow suit to causal continuation  
the moon awaits
the stars await
god awaits
the reaper sows
no glory will be to those who live without fear
blessed be to the exalted
dawning to the new age
I wrote this when the protests began here. It’s never seen the light of day because it just felt too early.

i can only repay her
by ripping away the strings to my heart
in order to tell her everything
i recite to her

don’t die
and don’t spoil

what keeps you free?
i know you very well
but what makes you feel
as if you’re in hell?

is it the trepidation
of your minds’ own creation
to fuel you further to
your true disposition
of what you want?

the concupiscence for me
beaming throughout the space where you live
inside this biosphere of my heart
where you lie barren

fermenting your own despair
i truly appreciate your time
can you continue to only be mine?

it’s selfish
but this world is too cruel for your beauty
shielding you has become my duty
god cannot take me from you

oh my body aches
the longing for peace
i wish i could lock away your eyes
just for me

the necessary
things that you can reveal
beside me
it defiles the moment of the daunting question
pure and well meaning


can’t i be the one who’s taken serious
don’t you think so


what keeps me awake is what keeps me in tact
putting that on you was the worst decision
and im sorry for it
but i won’t let you go

your wrists bruised and blistered
suffocating my love
it’s kind of my thing
i know
i hope you find it sweet


i feel the blow
the adrenaline begins to move throughout
it’s been so long
ive been so scared

you can’t stand me now
and that’s ok
i ******* hate myself sometimes

nothing can get better than this sweetie
all jokes aside nothing will ever feel this intense
and we only have ourselves to thank

my mind is only a void
but in my mind I’m the greatest ****
im also a terrible man
so that’s precisely why

because i am used goods
i don’t know how to feel new
but with you
this can be our truth

a horrible start for the feeling of everything
everything you and I have prayed for
palms holding tight
can we be worthy of heaven
in spite of our sins

hollow shells of what once was
remanentes of the truth
they lie within the rotting part of me
below the flies
I believe
they’re the closest thing to love I’ve seen
under the worms
below the maggots
you can see me
afraid of the sin
terrified of tomorrow
passive, frightening thoughts of bloodlust
i lie awake
put the bag over my head
to float like a balloon to heaven
no air, just He
where i can see tomorrow with no fear
it’s the ones that love me dear
that I can’t see
im blind but I can still feel
