So many awful things happen
to people who don't deserve it,
and they try to
destroy themselves
for it.

I wish I could just burn this **** stain
world to ashes and **** in them.

This hole is full of angels
and humanity *******
shreds them into ribbons
and wears them
like rags.

the best time in life
is when you're wanting for nothing
when nothing is all that you have

that's when you find
that nothing is something
that nothing will ever give back

if you just look around
to those who are striving
to always have something in hand

what they will find
is that nothings worth finding
if nothing was the something they planned

i want you to rip off my skin
and lay waste to my sin
pick of my insecurities
peel back my sorrows
peek inside my secrets
and maybe then
i’ll let you in

I can't believe all those times I let myself love
Open heart
Deserted parts
Broken pieces
Left to dry out
Like roses
For novelty?
For beauty?
For suchs stupid reasons
I can't begin to express how utterly egotistical it all is
Just because you're gone
Does not mean you are dead to me
You are alive and well
You are in my caged heart
You are the matter in my skull
You are the dirt under my nails
As I imagine
The world to be your grave

It has been a long time
Since my hair has held the scent of cigarette smoke
From the sighed stories of a girl who has seen too much pain
And not enough tenderness.
It always comforts me
To wake in the morning
With that little reminder
That for once I showed love without
Destroying anything.

you have to be careful
what you put in your pomes
and how you word your critiques

some poets are unique
and their retorts
are silenced

like their critics.

My body is made of information,
I see in infrared and j-peg,
PNG formats I can't
share over
the internet.

Their eyes see mere mortal things,
and nothing supernatural in technology.
No ghosts in the machines,
no flesh in the software.

No hope in the problem,
nothing thick in the water,
don't call me at home,
remember I can't be bothered.

My skin is a spreadsheet and
my hair is string theory in action
and theory.

My brain is afloat in liquid caffeine
so it's no wonder I over react.
Where do people go when
they daydream?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm thinking of you
And hoping you're dead

Mary had a little lamb butchered by the same people who raised him
His throat was slit open and skin peeled as they made their way in

He would be enjoyed that evening served with some sauce and wine
His eyes blank with nothingness and soul struggling to leave his body behind

As he was fed to the fire; there was no one in the room more cold
His fate but sealed when in pieces he was sold

And thus, it would end - one story cut short by a blade
To be served and bled in shadows that one day will fade

There by the boiling *** full of dead plants and salt
Will be the final farewell and the last assault

And there by the wooden table sat Mary who once had a little lamb
Tongue struggling in lust, eyes glimmering in the bright of a lamp

Mary had but forgotten about the little creature she raised
Slowly seeping back into the real world and morrow she faced

Not that she wouldn't remember the time they once had
And the cherished memories would surely take her back

But tonight was an exception; when will it be served she wondered
She would have loved to see it blossom, but **** this hunger.
Notes (optional)
You live answers and I live questions,
and yes, we can **** each other like this.

Starved in habit and attempt,
crashing on your shores,
flailing wildly, flailing...

Arms waving. Crashing.
Sleep turns red.
Sea turns blue.

Eyes smothered to death,
and a brain that poisons
the body numb.
A mind like
an ******.

You are,
so much like me
yet with a will to live
that swallows us whole.

I survive like this.
