straight shooter
maybe marc Jul 2014
always talking about themselves
making noises in the night
o so selfish
and so ignorant to the rest of us
the ones who haven't learned yet
to play notes on the water
but call them soft they wake me up
   every single time
they used to bother me now i miss them.
maybe marc May 2015
they are bravely terrified of me
and i don't know how to react.
i try saying this or that or getting up
but i swear to mother clown every time i try
it's just worse.
they keep shooting silver at me,
they keep locking themselves up in caves i can't reach
my terrible terrible wings are too big.

i could always just eat them,
but it's like they're learning to get away
it's almost like they've learned my tricks
almost like they know now when they're hallucinating.

the baloons filled with blood won't pop
i can't quite reach georgie's arm.

sometimes i forget that i exist
i wake up without knowing what time it is
but it's fine because i've forgotten that pain is a thing
that last night i could've cried
because i missed being able to say out loud how i felt for you
but also because i was having the millionth existential crisis of the week.

sometimes i just
i forget that i exist
it's like when you're sleeping but not really dreaming
but you're conscious of the nothingness that has become for just a second,
everything.

and for some reason
i've never talked to a person that understands what that nothing is,

but

sometimes,
i forget that they don't exist where i do
because if i don't exist then there's nothing and that means that
they don't exist

but me,
i forget that i exist.
how can i forget that i am alive?
it's like i can feel my body,
but i can feel the space between my fingers
no matter how tight i hold my hands together.

sometimes
i worry
because i forget that i am here
i forget that i am a living being
i forget that i am skin and bones
and memories
and connections with other people
and i am pain and sorrow and tears and light.

sometimes
i want to forget that i am here
i want to forget that i exist.
sometimes it's easier to imagine
not existing.

but sometimes,
when i forget that i exist-

i've never wanted to exist
but sometimes,

i realize i do.
i am here.
and if i am here
then so are you.
i'm so tired of people being ignored and killed and painted wrongfully. i'm tired of war and hate and hate and hate being released in all of the ******* wrong ways. i am tired of bullets and blood and self induced pain and shaving my head to protect myself. i am tired of you being better than her and him being better than me and you being all there ******* is. there is no we if there can be a they. i am so tired. i can't find words to express how much i want everyone to ******* stop being alive because we are evil and we are horrible to each other and we don't deserve this sky and these dogs and the water and autumn and words. we don't deserve any of this, if we can't handle love and hate with two hands and a heart open to understanding that these are both powerful emotions that can get out of control.

there'll be others just like you
only not like you but different
there'll be others that will dress better
there'll be others that won't pretend.
there'll be some that will listen to good music
and some that won't.
there'll be some that will understand the meaning of faithfulness
and hopefully none that won't care.
there'll be some that i won't be able to talk to about the meaning of anything,
those i won't stay with. i think.
there'll probably be some that i won't get to love,
only a few with which i'll share pain.

but really i don't want any of them.
i want only you with the crushing feeling,
and your terrible way to talk.

you fall in love
so strongly
with booksellers
  and baristas
    and the girl next door
because as someone said
we are creatures of habit,
and the fact that you're able
to see them more than once
  to refresh their own face on your memory

unconsciously blows your ******* heart up.
you see all of these beautiful entities
walking and breathing
and dying and living,
and you fall in love with all of them.
but soon enough,
maybe after three nights of seeing
  them blurry in your eyes,
you forget their faces and what they were wearing.
you forget how they laughed
  or smelled
  or talked about whatever.
but not her.

you don't forget her
with the short
shoulder-length blonde hair,
with the glasses and big smile.
you don't forget
how she said you looked cute
and talked about vonnegut
  and charles bukowsky.
but she probably forgot you.

but i have eighteen,
one is that i've found more comfort in these clothes than in my own body because i can't stand my bones,
two is that my heart is so heavy with all the weight i've had to carry for all of us,
three is that my mouth is sewn shut when it comes to speaking my mind about you and her,
four is that all i hear from you are complaints,
five is that i only complain too,
six is that i feel so stuck here,
seven is that i have no money for cigarettes,
eight is my lack of motivation,
nine is my obsession with burning myself out until there's no wax left in this candle,
ten is this ******* loneliness,
eleven is a *** drive that makes me want to be abused,
twelve is this voice that belongs to me three years ago,
thirteen is the fact that i won't have skin left by the time i'm twenty nine because i keep carving ink into myself,
fourteen is my anxiety, i can't even stand up for myself,
fifteen is the lies i keep telling everyone when i say i know what i'm doing,
sixteen is when i pretend that my friends are real,
seventeen is that i don't think i'm going to graduate,
eighteen is that i really have more than eighteen problems and they all keep me awake at night and they keep from reading those books that have been unfinished on my shelf for months now.

una gotita de sangre calentándote la cara con su caída.
en los ríos la calma que da balance a la violencia
en la lluvia una oportunidad para empezar de nuevo.
se respiran flores amarillas y moras
dejándote un gustito dulce en la garganta;
con ganas de un día más acá.
las hojas bailan como bailé yo la noche de ayer
sin ningún esfuerzo
dejándose llevar por el ritmo de la brisa.
caminar por tus calles una confusión conocida,
perderme en tí es lo más lindo.
quiero una conversación eterna contigo,
ver como das vuelta todo lo que pensé que eras;
que escuches mis penas pisando tus caminos,
que me limpies el corazón con una botella de vino
y los actos amables que se esconden en tus esquinas,
detrás de las cortinas de tus casas de hojalata.

oooo
i haven't written in a minute.

i talked to someone and the conclusion was if you got nothing
trapped inside
you got nothing to write about.

it seemed true.

i look back on my old writings,
full of angst and bad rhymes,
so much anger and sad.

i'm pretty happy these days,
and i guess it must be some sort of true
because i don't find myself drawn to writing.

but if i had something to say i would say

it's been nice getting to know this side of myself
i've been learning and growing and
i've been in awe of my capacity to exist
and exist better
of staying alive despite such a constant
urge to walk into passing cars
a lingering wonder of what
would happen if i just fell down these stairs.

i though the big sad was over and then i realized it just mutated,
this time is different because i'm taking my meds
every day if i can remember.

twenty two was so good and made so much sense,
but looking bad i still looked pathetic and depressed,
although definitely
Better.

now it feels like a job.
i attempt to say
"okay,
it is a possibility that i could fall down these stairs.
but it is just as likely that i'll make it all the way down
without any additional damage"
and wouldn't that be a good time?

"ugh"
the tone in our talking to them.
sort of inexplicable,
it feels completely unavoidable.

first person i ever wished was a friend
but realized would never be anything other
than something to rebel against.

moms i love yous
your pain always a reminder that i have to be strong enough
to keep myself alive,

maybe that's why the resentment towards you,
when in my lowests i wanted to give up on all
you forced me to continue existing.

i still feel like a child or a teenager around you.
i have to battle the instincts to be mean to you,
as if you deserved it.

i break my own heart when i break yours,
but i can't help it.
maybe marc Oct 2020
i want you to touch me
without assistance,
i haven't felt your craving truly since we were so thirsty.
then it's been full sometimes
others lacking love or lust,
you still won't let me lose myself in you.

insufficiently you'd test the waters,
i'd take my time because you wouldn't heat me up
at the right temperature,
but i'd let you burn me if you could manage
to deliver the bruises i need to be on fire.
instead you keep me lukewarm,
either not entirely convinced about this,
or, what?

are we just dreaming about the idea of love together?
i know i've been trying to convince myself that we'll get there,
giving it time to develop,
but if you're rushing to get there
not enjoying this view
then what's the point of the journey anyways?

i want you to look into me
and let me see.
so much want.
i spent this weekend with a friend and it was him i couldn't get out of my head
not you,
which bugs me. ,
maybe it's just cause he's near?
possibly because i feel his attraction towards me,
or maybe i'm imagining that too.

but your hands haven't investigated me in the way
i want them to want to.
it's not just about the pleasure it's about
feeling your desire overshadow sense,
but a passion that's long lasting is one that holds onto the almosts
and takes off the clothes so slowly that we drool and drip for each other,
it feels too easy, too good to be true , almost;
but then the physical lacks for me sometimes,
where are you then?
and where am i?
if i have to be in my head to reach
i want you there with me.

/
maybe i'll keep writing this when i see you again because these days apart are the most we've spent separate from each other since we met
and breathing is necessary,
not that i can't breathe with you more than often times i feel like i breathe so much better
even when it's so hot hiding in your shadows,
but a change of air is always good for the brain,
a new way to look at things,
separation from the infatuation of you.

i do miss you though.

but,
i would say, if i could be completely honest,
that i wouldn't mind falling in love with you,
that i feel like you're good for me
and even though i have hidden
i could be good for you too,
because i would love you with all of my heart if i could
do so just by deciding.
not that there's no love,
because getting there is too simple for me,
i could love you just for existing,
or a little bit more,
for your sweetness and your smile and your o so warm embrace.

i would answer all those sweet things you said so early on,
but i've been watching out for attaching myself because
my heart is very fragile
and i've been afraid to let you hold it,
because boys have been boys
and i feel you further away than before,

we held onto each other all night,

ver te
con tu bulla
y tu daño,
que ahora esquivas
como si no hubiese pasado?
que hacía
antes de no saber que hacer
conmigo misma
antes de los escondites
de todo lo que es
******* insoportable
como esa voz idiota en las mañanas
parecido todo a las situaciones en las que me metí.
parecido todo al resentimiento
que queda dentro
por todo
el tiempo que no me dieron
con la atención fija
en lo que no estaba haciendo;
aún me jode,
que por no saber me hundí
y tú por no se qué
me dejaste
y como siempre
nadie nunca vino al rescate,
siempre ambos expectantes
que me construya una balsa
que entienda entre los gritos
la coherencia de lo que no me enseñaste.
que por qué no me explicaste?
me quedé
sin respeto ni paciencia,
con culpas y pesos que no
deberían pesar me.
plasmada en un cuerpo,
la sombra de tus faltas
comiéndose a quien podría haber sido
si me hubieses enseñado
algo un poco menos dañino
que el cansancio,
obligada a recordar
que estoy aquí
que me estás asfixiando.

que paja la falta,.
how crazy teh shiver
when it's remembering,
but
(like when it's morning and i'm not playing the role anymore)
when it's real
i still need to close my eyes and focus,
not just let go
()
que paja that i still remember
how i ****** it up in the past
and that i can't just act on my crazy
.
how intense the anticipation
and
i just wish you'd understand that i need more of it
and couldn't we enjoy the silence for a bit longer?
.
attached to your arm
i was told i was definitely not dreaming and there was no waking up from this, i was just really high.
and why the **** would they all be so happy?
i looked down on them,
i couldn't be with them,
knowing
i'd have to leave your bed.

un pelo,
una pregunta,
pa que te sigues mintiendo
si sabiendo
that you're settling
again.
and that's why your body is telling you
to stop heading in that direction
(and you keep at it
cause it's better something
than nothing,
you're convinced,
as you tell your friends
that it's better to be alone)

que tapó la falta en si
con un alguien.
me dejó pa dentro porque ahora
pienso
que es quizás
en lo que he estao,
aunque hace rato no me ignoro,
yigual me quiero.
y también,
acaso no merezco este cariño,
después de todo?
y sé que tengo que trabajarme,
pero igual me das el espacio,
aunque nos comemos el tiempo
y me cuestiono el silencio.
dudas pero también,
se que no estoy tan mal,
porque igual me veo al espejo y me encuentro
(a veces)

what a dumb thing to say.
not because it wouldn't drive us both crazy for each other
but, you know,
you want to be responsible.

honestly, i was probably
the full mess that i am,
with you,
i even forgot to pretend not being so.

sabiendo que falta intensidad
y que no te he aguantao,
que te intentaría.
y ahora se me perdió el poco
loco a loco,
god ******* ******,
cuéntame que no solo se te salió
ese decir que dejó queriendo otro.
que fue con el mismo propósito
que ese que espero.
come on,
let's move on.
maybe marc May 2020
you think you get to tell me how content you are
you judge how i'm not up to your standards
you let me know that i'm wasting your time
i'm ungrateful to you
weona de mierda.
and the thing is,
you wanted to say it,
you got mad and then you got the
sweet release of communication
and i listened to you.

maybe i'll only hurt myself by not telling you
the ******* you're putting me through
maybe it only hurts me as i rip the skin from my cheeks
as i avoid locking eyes with
twist and twitch at the sound of
panic at the mere thought of going.
but maybe i'll drive you crazy in return
if i let you know gesture by gesture
that i hold no love for you.

and maybe killing myself is only a dream where i hurt you
because i still want you to know this pain
the one i had to swallow
while your demons sculpted into me
a void which would eat me up
leave me with nothing but dissociation for years to come
no one to hold on to but a broken family
siblings barely staying afloat
in selfishness
in supporting a mother
that would no longer be a lover.
your weight amongst theirs,
it came with the most shame.

i'm childish
i know that,
but there's something about you
that makes me want to hate you
and it drives me to falling asleep thinking
that i could just
fill my pockets with rocks and jump
the golden.

i've been dreaming of seeing you
through a blank stare
blood mixing in with your tears.
i can't help but
wanting to hurt you back
so you'd be forced into understanding
everything that hasn’t been making sense to you.

in your eyes i was a circus beast that needed to be broken,
you cracked your whip and expected obedience.
i didn’t budge
so you stomped on my back
on the gravely confusing love i felt for you
on the expectations of a family that would've supported you
had you just asked.

you couldn’t imagine the lengths to which
i hurt myself
to match the scars you left,
what continues to be worse than your actions
is the ripple that forced me
to keep carving that pain into my own skin.
i manipulated those who would double the damage
i offered to them on a platter
bricks to hold me down
as the sliver that was left of the real me quietly rejected
what i was willingly agreeing to.

i guess,
i'm walking backwards on a journey of forgiveness,
because i said out loud that i forgave you.
i didn't expect things to ever be different
i gave up on the idea that you could ever change
after the hundredth time you begged for a second chance,
all teary eyed
*******.
but i forgave you.

and then you tell me
you're happy,
and i'm ungrateful.

si, es tru,
pero también es tu actitud.
ni pa la paja tu memoria está linda,
te cambié la cara pa quedarme con tu pinta.
ya se que fui idealista
no hubo ni tiempo de conquista
te di pistas
que me estabai pronunciando como las weas
pero la puta idea
imposible equivocación
mejor quedemos en un borrón,
como manchaste cuando te pedí
como lloraste, no por mí
sino porque fue el fin
de la ilusión que te vendí.
y ahora me salí
de eso que conocí
a como enfrí
a
miento,
si te digo que no te pienso.
si pretendo que el viento
no me llevó pa dentro.
pero al fin
me moví.
y a tí te siento como un derrame,
no todo es terrible como me presentaste,
pero al creer en eso me encontraste.
no te presto mi culpa porque es mía
pero por algo estuvimos en sintonía.
te las diste de mejor que mi mundo,
sin haberle dado siquiera una vuelta entera,
creo que en pretención te comprendí
en paciencia te perdí
y en amor,
te mentí.
asi que bueno,
ha lllegado hasta aquí,
lo que he sentido por tí,
but enough,
no hay pa que sufrir.
toy subiendo weas viejas, ya no se sienten asi por decir, pero las dejo aqui.

in the hopes that i could show it to you.

i'd love to be in love with you,

but you make me so nervous.

and now that we're,
you know,
being honest,
i'd like to-
i wish i had the guts to do so,
to hold you in motion.

and i'd like to love you,
i'd like to fall in love with you.
i'd love to love loving you,
and fall into you.

you know,
because i'm being honest,
i'd love to tell you that i'd love to love you
and that maybe i love you,

and that i wore black underwear in the hopes that i could show
you.

shoot i guess your hi
is better than what he gave
in desolation and need
he shows but what he wants to
no crazy show
just a shallow dive into his body.
i didn't know i would always feel this way about them
manipulative and unsure,
definitely not on the road to happily ever after for anybody.

y qué será
esta necesidad
de saber
que te hago mirar.
cuando?
me di cuenta
que necesitábamos atención
y cariño.
por que no,
distribuirte un poquito
de te quieros
aunque sean de mentiras.
por que no
me bajo lentito la ropa interior
te muestro la tentación
que me come.
quiero bailarte
mostrarte la perversión
que se me sale
que no la encuentro cuando la quiero
pero pensandola me consume.
cuando el quiero es mas fuerte
cuando me viro porque no soporto,,,
me he dejao ir,
me deje dejar taaaaan lejos
que no soy ni un polvito del polvo de lo que quedó de las sobras de lo que posiblemente hubiese sido de podermela.
pero no, po,
no hice lo que tenía que hacer
pero al final de esta,
no me cuelgo.
