Turkish eye
You are tied to my heart
Like psychedelics
You take me away

Asters grow from my mind
When I breathe you in
Deep almond eyes
Enchant, liberate my purpose

Testosterone infused trains come and go
The vitamin my life depends on
I can't let you go
I'm married to your existence

Memories together intertwined
Like Yin and Yang
Moments of passionate youth
Honey and Bees

You are my idol
I gift you my heart
Sweet plague
I love you

I'm stuck
I try move on
Past the thorns
Past the Paradise
But your face resurfaces
in the depth of my psyche
I feel sick of longing
I am sick of you
Why do you haunt me?
I don't want you
But I do

systems overflowing
theres another breakdown
nothing seems to be working
restart, restart, restart




but i can’t
i’m sinking in my own solitude
smiles hurt me more than words
grey clouds sink abysmally
over my vessel
it’s decayed, useless
throw it away
i’m done.
‘hope is a dangerous thing for someone with my past’ so i don’t have any.

romances with cigarette boys
enchanting, they play like toys
i, i become blind to the noise
but
my heart left caged- just a bunch of alloys

she didn't ask for this
respiration of solitude
echoes of thoughts
spiral- ****

everything yearns for him
an addiction, a habit, a content dervish

he's my sad life

please. pass my heart a knife

spare me sick sympathies
he wants her, not she

i wither
the words of Lady Lazarus strong but bitter
I rise with my brittle hair
and
I eat men like air.
pained to write

— The End —
