Can you see the water dripping from your mother's mouth?  
It's been giving you life since before your father ever took a sip.
And at times, it scorches the prints right off your fingertips but you still have the same blood.
This same blood, which mixes with the water dripping from your own mouth, turns to wine as your lover grazes each corner of the lips that always turn down.
And as they purse into the softest circle, you remember the way your mother smiled with her mouth, full.

My body -  a cage.
My soul - a bird.
Its never forgotten how to fly.
It may be caged for now
but one day it will be free.

Fear

Fear is what kills, fear is not the thing to keep you moving
Fear is like pills, it's gets to u and stops ur heart from pumping
It's addictive, a drug, it sends the fearless fearful, thinking
How did they feel this feeling of fear which just sends them sinking.

Fear is the pain which drags the people down into the ground.
Fear is the mood which sends the innocent to do no good.
Fear is the knife which is sent through everyone's hearts around
Fear is darkness, unseen, and overcomes thousands like a sandstorm, darude.

The smashed ribs, the swollen legs
The state of heart every time the ground shakes
The endless tears, the unflattering fears
The subdued feelings, the impotent states
and I realize how helpless I am
As everything vanished within seconds

The cracked hopes, the buried dreams
The unbearable truths, the painful screams
The broken fantasies, the shattered desires
The situation where no one admires
Tried to stop, I tired to evade
Then I realize how helpless I am
as everything vanished within seconds

You.

All I want is you forever, you went away wearing your favorite sweater. Everything reminds me of you, the times you have left turned my heart blue. You're all I need and nothing more, but you were to busy ******* the neighborhood *****. You're everything that is wrong with me, you're toxic, and only I can see. You will always have a part of me, the part I need desperately. I'm grasping for air so I can breathe, but you're the one who is killing me.

Your hand brushed over mine, I blushed a bit,
Smiling, you curled your fingers between mine,
Dare I say that you were a blessing? Devine,
doesn't even begin to describe it,
if love bugs exist it's clear i've been bit
My soul grows weary as I write this line
I'm not going to pretend that I'm fine
You ripped me apart, turned my life to ****,
I try to pretend but I've been redrawn.
Breaking away from my old habits is
hard when you were my redemption, my dawn,
my morning light, I can try to push on
but I can't hear one more "I'm not even his
anymore, why does he care?" I'm gone.
ignore how rough this is, it's late. i tried to write this like a petrachan sonnet but idk how accurate this is.
