Crimson
Rachel Finn Apr 2013
It's because I'm getting weak
And the confines of my soul are disintegrating
You're so lovely but so fast you're fading
When you say goodbye
I swear I'll break every one of your bones
You cut the strings and float away
But I'm the weight
That drops and stays
And it's all alive around me
You won't be home to hold me

I don't even make it to the stairs

Control
Rachel Finn Mar 2013
You thought I was beautiful
Until I sprouted
Emotions and
Passions
You left me
So I tugged
And hacked
And singed them
Until I was beautiful
And pure
Again
For the next
God knows
I won't let that happen
Ever
Again

Baby
Rachel Finn Feb 2013
He knows not to call me baby
When the suns gone down
To its rising
Ill be angry

He gives me nothing when I'm hungry
It's my fault when I say
Give me
Empty rather than
Starving

I know
We're the same kind
He's in love with the lights
And the sun rise
The same way I
But I
Spitting fire and light
Grabbing onto nothing
Can't hold him
When light fills his eyes
We've got miles between us
And so much time
And lies

We've filled this room to its locks
with fear
And distance
And there's a shrill ringing from
Absence of desire

Baby I painted you in my picture
And I don't want to start again
You're the mess
all over my walls
And I'm too drunk off your name
To defend

I can't quit your game
A thousand words later
I'm too drunk off your name
A thousand beatings later and
You've got
A thousand baby's all the same.

Child
Rachel Finn Feb 2013
Sometimes I wonder
I you ever remember
That I am a child
In the palms of your hands
You can make or break me
At any second
You have tamed me
And taught me
And I resent that

Jaws
Rachel Finn Feb 2013
I want your bed sheet tongues and your enveloping arm lips to swallow me hard and never spit me back out so please hold me down and let your word jaws crush me until I can't breathe because when I think about you I laugh cry and I free fall until you ****** me back up in the air where I wait float down until you do it again and again oh god you've got me by my neck between your stone lips fingertips all hot and adrenaline cold you're the smoke filling my head and the ice in my veins you are taking me so high and ringing me out so thin I forget who I am and where I'm going and you make none of it matter you are my biggest nightmare you could collapse my frame with one breath from your lips and I am not sure if I could ever build myself back again and it is sheer insanity and bliss.

Fate
Rachel Finn Feb 2013
There are key words
That are fate
The words: Hiding
Or Wait
They mirror back
And float to the surface
And they have ties
To our names
And all the places we've been

There are songs
And flavors
And scents
That are fragments
Of you and me


I wonder if you notice them too

Antimatter
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
To cut the throat
Of the virus that branches
It's spider finger tips
*******, cutting, and licking venom
To spread turn blood to **** and stomach bile
In your veins
Until it kisses your brain
Unfolding and cursing
Over and again

To remove the dust from the window sill
And push open to glass
To a warm summers night
Air thick enough to fill your ears
To slip past the lips
Expand and fill
The holes of your airways
But coming as a whisper of the soothsayer
To take you to the deep velvet river banks
Turning your flesh to sand
Matter recycled
To turn to earth and trees
That become a part of the cycle
Misery and Majesty
Matter and antimatter

House cat at the window,

You must play this game.

Tidings
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
I am the tides
Pulled both ways
The flame that burns
Building, glowing frame
But devouring, taking away
Pulled both ways
Night and day
Polars
The same
I don't understand
But I can see everything

Skin is all the same
Words are just sounds
Rain is just salt water
Tears the same
Lips are all lips
All touches are received
Happiness is chemical
Finger tips cannot ****
Finger tips that scarcely touch
Are capable of so much pain

The rule is
You get what you give
So why do those who give all
Not receive the same
Guess it's not enough

I was taught love is like gravity
Reciprocated and unwavering
Like the tides
They never fail

Small
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
How can something,
Lighter than dust,
Too small for air to support,
For gravity,
Unseen by the eye in aid,
Or naked,
Stop worlds in rotation.

Lake
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
Slipping back the silent killer
Of phantom demons
Metallic enemies
I have seen the warm lake boil
Bacterial memories
By twos by threes
Beautiful like clean sheets
And unmarred pages
Wholly holy leaves
Of weeping willows
They are me
They never sleep
Uprooted and clean
Burning off the ticks and fleas
No trace
Departed history

Rosellia
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
The girl who sang
Toppins' a bag
And dreamed of white and cream
Clothes and sheets
And vows wrapped in silver linings
Blank white pages
With endless capacity
For love
And whispered dreams through the cracks of finger tips
Then stretch them up to the open arms of dying trees

She called you to know
she asked, Do you ever grow
Out of resenting your very own skin and bones
Every atom
And I am
So alone
When you don't call
Slipping out on a warm night
I can never tell
What sets you off
Vibrates your bones
Like you do in the pit of my stomach
Electric fingers and eyes shone
They had never known
What it is like
For a heart to ignite
In hands of lighter fluid

Host
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
From the open
To the close
Of steel lid eyes
It doesn't feel right
From the departure
The splitting of the seas
Of sheets
To the holy reuniting
Its all gray stuffing
From seam to seam
From floor to ceiling
Blank dry
Eyes still staring under lids
Collisions behind the curtains
Behind the scenes
A sweet obstruction
Our neglected eye lids

Sour apple brain
Velvet lids
Concrete lips
Hands that ***** their body
In vain or in shame
A body disconnected from A brain
Wanders looking for hosts
That never touch it the same
The brain wanders for hosts
That will regulate its deficits
Hosts that never spark it the same
Both glass to break
Both paper thin
Giving themselves up at the lips of flame
And the flame
The burning hands of a body
A body disconnected from a brain
All the same
Ready to burn ready to spark
Again and again

Honey
Rachel Finn Jan 2013
Honey settled in the cracks too deep
Favorite delusion
Soothe sayer
Baby
Tasting bitter sweet
Thicken and sicken

Rose I couldn't keep
Thorns in my gums with every trial
Every word I speak
The kiss ****** back up into my cheek
The little weights at my feet
Threads pulling up my lids
While yet, my mind is black
As ash

I can't look out of my window
Since you
I cant let myself notice
Everything is still moving forward
Too fast and far

— The End —
