the land has begun crumbling into the sea,
being eaten by the waves
and destroyed by the salt

feet dangle over the edge of a cliff
and tap together as mist fills the air and fog spreads above the sand

the sun has decided to take a day off,
and the sky is a smooth and consistent shade of grey

raindrops the size of infants flood the ground
and turn the sand into mush
causing shoes to become buried treasure

seagulls screech their wretched sounds and beg to be fed
they've become fat and dependent
they hardly even fly around, anymore

the shore barely exists, right now
and the water is trying to become the land

she had crystalline eyes, like diamonds they shined
and allowed the world to see everything that hid inside
if you looked behind her teeth, into her throat, you'd see her spine
made of tape and plastic, in a poorly planned design

her skin made from last season's leaves,
burned from the light so easily
catching fire in the breeze
and spreading flames throughout the trees

her legs contained jello instead of bones
and she held earthquakes in her knees
the planet never stood still
and she could feel it rotating beneath her blistered feet

a heart replaced by splintering wood left her torn and sick each day
with every beat, infection grew
and took small parts of her away

We collided like a train rushing in from behind,
Your memory and I.
My breath stuck in my throat, unexpectedly.
Tears stinging my eyes, staining my cheeks, involuntarily.
Has your ghost been lingering, shadowed,
Waiting to spring upon me like a serpent in the grass?
Don't tempt me with that shattered past.
I'd gladly place the shards of history's heart back into your hands.
Blatantly disregarding every reserve my mind fires,
Happily risking it all just to taste our youth.
Begone with you phantom! If that's what you are.
Stay only if your monstrosity lingers well into our future.

5:55
I'm barely alive
My eyes won't focus
And I'm too drunk to drive

5:58
I can't think straight
I'm feeling so sick
From the taste of your hate

6:02
All I see is you
I'm trying to drive
But I'm not sure where to

6:04
Pedal to the floor
Picking up speed
But I need so much more

6:09
Your car slams into mine
And we die together
The way it was designed

My anger is a monster that devours my kindness
It rips my heart to shreds and fills me with blindness
The monster inside me defeats all my love
Until anger and hate are all I think of

I'm exhausted from this war I'm fighting,
Always sad, always writing
Nothing new, or exciting

Just turn it off, and hit the switch
I'm done with life, and all of this
I'm just a hateful, bitter *****
Who's only filled with emptiness

This monster I have created must die
Smash it dead
just like a fly
Make it suffer,
Make it cry
**** my anger
Say goodbye

Your soul contains a world all its own
I've seen the oceans flooding through your eyes
Houses there are built out of your bones
And your smile freshly paints the daily skies

Your heart is such a perfect home for me
It's warm in here, and so roomy inside
Your perfect little world is my favorite place to be
A little nook from in which I may hide

You try so hard,
And I wish it could be,
But my life's so off,
You wouldn't make it with me,

I'm too crazy,
And you're so perfect,
You'd probably hate me,
Me and my curses,

I'm so different,
I'm a little bit backwards,
So I'm keeping my distance,
No happily ever after-
