"is anyone out there?"
she whispered to the endless crowd,
hoping that just one person would notice.

formalities

"is anyone out there?"
he shouted to the empty forest,
hoping that no one had heard.

what is it about those words?

nothing
leaves such a sour taste in my mouth
as the words
"i love you"

always

…wake up…
…look down…
great
another reminder
that i'm not who i'm supposed to be

of course, i'm no better

why does everyone hate the blood in their veins?
they'll drain it from their wrists
replace it
with morphine
with liquor
do you hate living?
or do you just love bleeding?
do you just love replacing
sustenance with poison?

blue

there's no way to be the truest
when you think about it
every blue is sky blue

false hope

i guess she got under my skin
and i tried to cut her out
maybe by the time i wake up
i'll have bled her out of my system
