lover

how do i articulate
the way i crave to open my veins and watch the universe pour out
the red
dripping down the sink
my temporary fix
i lust for the sting of my forbidden lover
it has been three years since your stainless, shiny lips kissed my arms
and my thighs
i long for you to hold me again

wonder

i wonder
if my name left permanent marks on the lips of lovers that left me behind
i wonder
if the expanse of my body burned holes into their minds
i wonder
when someone will see the depths of who i truly am
i wonder
if one day someone will stay

nothing and no one is permanent

lighthouse

my heavy heart
weighs down my soul like anchors
i am lost at sea
come and find me

august

there was no masked man in the streets
no dark alleys
no wandering empty city streets at night
it was us
and a bed
and a no that died on my lips
a stop i never said but longed for
it was on those dingy sheets that i became a shiny object
made only to please you
suddenly
i was covered in rust

coming to terms with ****** assault is hard

you

how do i put into words
the way you make me want to tear down my carefully reinforced walls
i know you’re going to break my heart
i want to let you

feelings are gross because i don’t want to feel
