I feel
something.
   It's kind
        of
          like,
   desire.

But I just
     don't have a
          spark,
to save this
     wildfire.

I haven't written anything new in almost a week. I've been having difficulty formulating my 'emotions' into words. Feeling low without writing.

You're The Kind Of Girl That Guys Like Me Write Poetry About

You're The Kind Of Girl That Guys Like Me Write Poetry About

I didn't think much
of the way flowers wilted
until I watched you fade slowly out of my life
It was like watching the hands on a clock
Except these hands were knives
And soon enough
Our time had come
And you were cut from my life
I think I understand the sky now
And how it longs to touch the earth
But it can't
Because it would destroy
What it loves the most
Lately my mind has wandered
I'm not so sure of where it goes
But it always comes back
With bits of you
To pour into my thoughts again
I watched a train race by at midnight
My thoughts grabbed at you again
I don't think I've ever held you as tightly
As when I'm only remembering you

I Take It You're Not Coming Back To Bed?

I Take It You're Not Coming Back To Bed?

you felt like music in my bones
then suddenly you changed keys
i was out of tune
and we forgot the words
it's four o'clock on monday morning
and all that's left
is the memory of your head
on the pillow next to mine
it was here
like this
that we used to listen
to all my favorite records
but I can't now
because when the needle hits the vinyl
i start thinking of you
it's the early hours of the day
when the streaks of morning light
break across the clouds
that I realize
i'm not a morning person
i'm a mourning person

The Dirt On my Shoes Isn't Coming Off

The Dirt On my Shoes Isn't Coming Off

your heart was always out of reach
and mine was always in your hands
but if you listen closely
you can hear my ribs cracking
to the rhythm of your breathing
your grip tightens
my heart screams
you laugh
i beg
you lie
we fight
"do you think I'll cry?" I ask
"you know I'll try" you counter
the sky darkens as you smile
nothing unusual
i think about when I paced my halls
at three in the morning on a sunday
and how it was just like when
you pulled me underwater
and it felt like I was breathing fire
and suddenly you're talking about
when we first met
in that church parking lot
when it started something
that was anything but holy
and I laugh at the irony
it was better than any poetry
i could ever write

Over

Heav

Over

I could not breathe
as the sharpness in her breath tore
through my skin
She cupped my face, hands as tired as she
was.

Upon feeling her rough
callused palms against my cheek,
I knew I could never be safe
outside of her strong hands
caging my face.

Her smile was weak, but it was all she could muster
the assurance was in the vigor of her attempt
And as I grew closer to an absence of consciousness
It became harder
for her to hold her tongue.

Like barbed wire, I wore her words
I wore her words around my throat
Around my neck with pride
And she allowed me
to bleed all
over.

Filthy Playground

Filthy Playground

One

Away

Every dream fulfilled
      A steady stream of pleasure
No pain
       Ethereal sensations and situations too sticky for keys to shift into locks
          After dark I sit stuck and watch
               Perfect bodies in perfect motion no preconceived notion of love
         Only instant lust
    A lack of trust is commonplace when a face and name is just a waste compared to her waist
       No stretch marks looming
Perfect teeth and a crooked twisted desire
         All within reach at the touch of a wire

             I perspire from the fire in my stomach
         Unquinched thirst and unrelenting hunger
                   Skin on a whim is nothing more than another filthy playground we play in
     And sometimes we play too hard and get caught up in the facade we don't have flaws because we dont press pause
    We don't step away from the daily play of getting off and making way
         For false standards
We all fall short when not on camera

      We scar we bleed and we all dont understand
       You're not perfect but I love you, I'm ready to be a man...

And leave this filthy playground behind.

One thing leads to another in the tireless pyre of addiction. We burn but we don't taste the ashes.

Thank You Anxiety

Thank You Anxiety

My heart races , but I'm fine
I'm happier than ever but losing my mind:
Things are perfect on the surface,
and it scares me to think
That everything is changing
and will in a blink..
The control slips from my grasp
as my mind floats back into the past;
I'm afraid that everything I know
and everything I see
Will speed by and nothing will
ever again just be.
I keep over-thinking everything in my path..
I just hope this insanity doesn't last,
Forever.

My anxiety has been acting up pretty badly lately because things are changing really quickly and it's a lot to handle.
I know it won't last forever I just hate the way it changes how I think.
