it's nice to find
satisfaction
in hoping

it's nice to feel
my mind
opening

it's nice to see
a path
constructing

it's nice to know
everything
is fluxing

it's nice to be
me
and nobody else

it's nice to
finally
love myself

nothing comes to mind any more
everything goes and moves faster
too fast to catch, an unavoidable crash
we've clashed and separated, broken
another love for another life
whether we were ever friends
is the question
even though you prayed, "friends forever"

silence discomforts the demons within you
so you hum and sing and talk about nothing
to collapse whatever comfort my angels live in
you'd rather see me withering, wilted
so much beauty in death! so much beauty...

I tap my teeth together, click
I clench my jaw, tick tick
I clench my fist, thick tricks....
lying again, you're lying again
and I cry in your presence
salt water spelling out "stop this"
I bite my lips when I wanna kiss

tortured souls with tender hearts
can't mend one if the other is falling apart

blueberries
raspberries
blackberries
feed me cherries
I'm feeling daring
shut out of caring
music's blaring
strawberries
peaches
nectarines
you're in my dreams
morphing right in front of me
moonlight dusted, coarse,
untrusted.
tip tap toeing
tip tap
tipping over and drizzling,
sizzling steam
let me scream
because
no one is listening

seeing myself in the morning
only this one is different
not so lonely
more homely
comfortable
yet, unfamiliar
not so *****
more ****
confident
yet, restless

I want to hold on
to the best of this
lips pressed into
a kiss, one before
and after
another
never ending
it seems

I am just the lightbulb
Swinging in the attic
If you would just
Shut up
I am the static

Little ghost
Show me your play things
Tall bedposts
You are always swinging

That's the record
Play it again
If you speak up
You'll only blend in

And I wish
I wish to **** I was someone else
Take my bottle from the shelf
Grin, kiss, smash me

But here you are
Lily hand
Sail my ship
Read my stars
Kiss me

Crystal ball
Palm reader
Your eyes say it all
Your lips say it better

if not a love so wild
then assume that something pure will do
perhaps assumptions
may capture the best in dust
left for the rest
to rot
and
rust in the dirt
yeah, it hurts
for all it's worth
I would give birth
relieve your thirst
while letting go
of the little things
holding the space
between
you and me
and
make believe

yes

we dream
sweet stones, got me ******
