Volcanos

volcanos form at the end of my wrist, erupting with every glide of the blade.
The lava flows and doesn't stop, but this time I'm not afraid
When I put water on the spot of red, it burns just as lava should. but it's not enough to make me dead.
I close my eyes and take another swipe and because this one is finally deep enough, it'll all be alright.
I open my eyes and look out the window at the many stars. then down at my many scars.
I look at the sky, saying my last goodbye, I slip off into the night.

Today's weather forecast

new weather forecast:
earthquakes from one to two am from my unsteady heart
gusts of air blown from my lungs as I attempt to catch my breath
downpour of rain from my tired eyes
slight showers from my wrist as I take any other swipe with the blade
with a slight chance of suicide.

Death on your hands

you're killing me slowly, and I guess I understand why. you said I'm the only thing keeping you alive, but you so desperately want to die.

So you're killing me softly, and I'm trying to make this last. you're making this so difficult for me because my heart is made of glass and every word you throw at me adds another crack.

Darling you're killing me gently, trying not to break me all at once. you don't know how much you mean to me, I'm trying to keep your eyes open but you're fighting me to keep them shut.

Now you've killed me completely, I guess your dream came true. there was always someone else, but for me there was only you.

Fallen

I'm scared of the dark and especially the lake water at night. I went out there with you because I believed you'd save me if I was drowning, but you didn't seem to notice that I couldn't catch my breath and was gasping for air when our shoulders brushed and your finger tips simply gilded across my thigh in an effort to take me under, what you didn't know was I fell long before we got into the water

Journey through my body

your fingertips glide across my spine, unraveling my skin, showing the staircase to my mind. you travel each step, going deeper and deeper. and with every breath you take, you know begin to realise just how much you mean to me. you find my heart. with every corner you turn you find another picture frame with your face glued in and how with every beat it takes you further into my secrecy, but you don't complain because it's everything you've every wanted to know and everything I was too scared to show.

You

you're ignorance is my bliss and your eyes make me weak. you're so beautifully arrogant and I can't seem to leave.
I've tried to get your face out of my mind darling and I've scrubbed the place your finger tips brushed, but I can't shake the feeling of your tender touch.
Your hands fit so perfect intertwined in mine, and every time I see your deep brown eyes, I lose my mind.
You make me feel so many emotions,
but the problem is they come all at once.
I could feel extremely happy but sill on edge,
the pain rushes in and my hope crash down all
because you took interest in someone else.

Lonley Nights

it's 11 pm on a Saturday
and I want your body next to mine
it's 11:01pm on a Saturday
and I can't stop thinking about your perfect green eyes.
it's 11:02pm on a Saturday
and you're asleep in your bed
it's 11:03 on a Saturday
and I can't stop wishing you were here instead.
it's 11:04 on a Saturday
and the snow has fallen for the first time
it's 11:05 on a Saturday
and I wish you were here to keep my body alive.
it's 11:06 on a Saturday
and I know that you're my whole world
it's 11:07 on a Sarurday
and I'm just fine with it because I'm you're baby girl
it's 11:08 on a Saturday
and I feel so in love
it's 11:09 on a Saturday
and you're my only one.
