Im alive
shiv Nov 2017
Your mouth is a gun
And each I LOVE YOU
Is a bullet, reminding me
That im alive.

She falls to quick,
And she falls to hard.
And the world wont care
When she falls apart.

letting his heart rot to nothing
Or to let it envelop him.

for her anxiety and she knows
that she's not winning anymore.

You give yourself no credit;
A being of stardust and wildfire.
You give yourself no credit;
A being that puts natures beauty to shame.

How do i make it hurt less
If nobody is left to help.
How do i make it hurt less
When i don't want to be saved.

Her love is not something one can endure,
Which is why she does not understand why
She would desire to inflict it on someone.

She does not expect the world,
To remember she was ever there.

His body is a warzone; the cuts, the scars, the marks.
His mind does not fair much better; but he does try, try, try.

But i gave it (gave it, gave it)

Drugs can't help you now

And you can take as many pills as you want, they can't take you away from who you are.
And you can still smoke as much **** as you want, your veins are still a world of ruin and sin.

Beauty is a disease, but you don't care if it's toxic.
Beauty is a poison but you'll drink it like it's not, you'll drink it like it's not.

And you set yourself on fire
(again, and again, and again.)
Because the feeling
is worth getting burned.
Because a life without feeling
that you have /lived/
is not much of a life at all.

You are not your mother
And you are not your father.
Your life is your own
And the only sins
you should have to cary
Are the ones you commit.

My veins flood with vitriol
Again and again and again.
Untill i am nothing more
Then a body left to decay,
and a heart bound to shatter
Under the starlight.

This is not poetry,
This is not soul.
Just words I've
Never spoken.

And when she got cold
her fingers itched for a lighter.
To light every crevice she held ablaze,
to fend the dark away another day.

can you see the pattern
shiv Jun 2017
If loyalty is not given freely,
it is not given at all.

If you force us to show respect
than you never had it to begin with.

If we are bribed to show you
how much we love you,
than we wont be loving you at all.

There’s nowhere left to run.
What’s someone born to a race of runaways to do
when their legs have been cut from under them?
Victory was never ours, and to have thought it would be
was the start of our downfall.  
This is the world nearing its finish. (galactic reset)
Hand us the knives we’ll slit our own throats, give us the stones and we’ll smash our heads in ourselves.

every bridge you have,
and then wonder why

five rules
shiv Jun 2017
i. Do not think she cares about you; her heart is a wasteland and love is the rain the land knows it will not get anymore.
ii. Do not think she feels like you do; she will tear you apart in her effort to love.
iii. Do not think her being happy is good; she destroys everything she touches, ruin is more natural to her than joy.
iv. Do not care about her; no matter what emotion she is expressing all she feels is scorn for you.
v. Do not get close to her; she is a flame and whatever good she once possessed has long since burnt to ashes under its heat.

She won''t look you in the eye when she tells you she loves you.
(she doesn’t know what love means)
And her mouth is dry when she hears you say it.
(she knows one can not truly love what they don’t know)

She drank gasoline like water
and had the audacity to be surprised at the flames that caught when she held a match too close.

Look at how she's burning up.
Look at how she's burning out.
Finally. Finally. Finally.

to light my soul on fire,
without getting lost in the flames.
without burning myself out.

They're selling heaven for 15 grams.
They're selling love for our souls.
shiv Jan 2017
She gets drunk on the brink of eternity and lies in wait to become the legend she doesn’t believe she has the ability to become.

But destiny is a fickle thing and it does not care that the only violent thing in her past was a rabid dog that wandered across her path one evening.


Her mother will faint at the sight of her daughters soon to be bloodied knuckles but her father will cheer. They both knew they had raised a fighter, her mother just wished she didn't have to hurt herself doing it.

She gets high at the edge of the abyss and as she looks into it she falls inside. As she topples, head over heels to make a history of the likes that is unprecedented. A history she had no idea she was capable of making.

(She’s just a girl.)

(She’s only a girl.)


**She’s a ******* god.

I am not human, I am a star and this is the part where I burn out.
shiv Jan 2017
Don't you dare preach to me when you kiss every ******* person you can just to feel alive.

Don't spew words and lines like you haven't twisted morals just to feel like you're right.

Don't you dare come to me saying anything when you shy away from mirrors just to avoid seeing the monster you've become.

You can't preach heavens light when you're as far from enlightenment as you can get.

— The End —
