I'm scared
I cannot contain
I cannot restrain
I don't want to-

But I must
Oh what I would give
A touch
A whisper

*Off the deep end
I've fallen
And I cannot swim
But I don't care

I wanted to thank you
for being everything
to me whenever
I had nothing to
call my own.

You didn't just
get me out of a "rut."

You saved me
from the empty,
soulless shell in which
I was about to
become.
This is for the people that have helped me and have had my back. I will always be there for you all as well.
While the globe crawls as
S L O W
as my bill is thin,
I've got places to go,
sunsets to chase
and mighty, invisible wings
to feed, so

              bring on the sugar water!

Feathers flickering furiously;
sweet Jesus!
where are my feet?
I am BUZZING through today,
routes as long as my tongue
repeated in an
unbroken line
thousands of times,

              hey, *******, you goon!
              That's MY nectar!
              Scram!


Planning my daily rounds,
relying on the donations
of fans who eye my turf war
with childish glee

              and I hope
              beyond hope to see
              pitcher after sweet pitcher
              waiting for me


Because neglect is starvation,
an end to the thrum
of tiny hearts.

for now

empty on the insides
like a dish scrubbed clean
full up of nothing
even memories
feel too much like dreams
like all those things
that we did
and we said we would do
are just echoes
you're not anyone,
you're just a reminder
of someone i once knew
i don't know where i'm going
i don't know where i'll land
i get a feeling it's different
from everything i got planned
i'm not afraid of the future
but i'm still shaking somehow
weighing nothing means
i could just float out the window
i'm just a shell of a person
just a shell of a girl
not anyone or anywhere
or anything right now
i exist in this space
and this space exists in me
and the words that i want to say
won't make it past my teeth
i am empty and i'm no one
and i used to be so full
at least there is no darkness
at least now there is no cold
i'm not ready for the future
but i'm no longer afraid
i'm not thinking about anything
but i think that that's okay
for now

There's a ladder
all you have to do is climb it
i hate to see you go
but i  like to watch you leave

I envy a mother's love, for her child
growing in solitude isn't fun for most of us
some give Birth to monsters within them
others, to the unknown creatures
I loved you, but from a distance
the likes of Mary are, but a mare dream

Sounds go off
i turned into a wolf
i seek blood to quench my thirst
what do you know about life anyways

In my dreams I saw a fog
covered me and tried to **** breath out of me
but the winds of smoke fought harder

Before I turn grey,i  want passion
before I turn grey,i want to wait
and not died
