My honesty is brutal
Like me, honesty is a killer
Honesty stains my hands like blood
And I wear it like a mask

You wanted the truth
I gave it to you
I'm sorry it's brutal,
*But I don't care
Here it is. An inescapable truth about yours truly
oui May 2016
i don't want to know your name
nor do i care who the ******* are, what makes you you
and i don't want to know that you can't eat spaghettios anymore because they made you throw up one time a couple years ago;
i'm not curious about your little secrets
and i certainly dont give a **** about your family tree

and i'll gently hold your face in my hands one more time tonight,
but you shouldn't expect to pick apart my brain after the lights turn on and the music stops playing  

( i watched my sanity drop like a disco ball onto your cement floor into ten million little pieces while the cats licked them off the ground and i just sat there and watched, i couldn't even move. )

Scratching
Screeching
Scheming

Hellish boys trimming their blades
Sliced by nights eyes

Callous carefulness

Calamity in the Mystics eyes  intricitley cutting silver pences
Crying their breach

Rubble toes and hardened minds
The kind one can't contain

Blaring the shrieks of a litten mouse
Holding up high
Flying high
Can not find stable ground

Hellish girls grinding their teeth
Strapping their ties
High and tight
Grading their hearts

They both want to
To be carelessly bad, free and rash  

Terribly so,

So much so - without a cause
The dark night can conjure some playful ideas

She was his flower
So gentle and pure
But only for an hour,
For he could not
Hold her too long.

Stretch a sweater.
Watch the wool
Unravel as the cold
Seeps in through
Gaping holes.

This might take
A while to stitch.
Perhaps I could
Leave it like this.

Purposeless but
Purpose built.
I've got no wool
To stitch it with.
Inspired by my mum's grey sweater that I always wear.

I wish I was a taco with no mind at all
living on a plate with a window on the wall
I would be on a table just behind the door
Minding my own business not caring anymore.

just like I promised I would.

I found it yesterday, in the
beginning pages

of this journal you gave me. There was
a scrawled note under the only line,

with a careless rectangle drawn around it.
I must've written the note quickly,

a few days after you dropped
me off for the last time.

"I'm sorry I never finished it,"
I wrote. And I am. 

I'm sorry I never finished it for you
to see. I hope this one will do.

it's funny how much my anxiety
causes fear for my life
but then
gives me so many reasons
to end it all.
life with anxiety.

We liked to walk
Most days
Where the willow trees reached down to strangle us
And the current ran away
Down the great stream
Path.

We liked to steal
Jewels and gold, mostly
Into homes where we would
Smile the stones into pockets,
Grin Cheshire grins,
Take London treasures
Glint.

But of all
We liked to sit
Drinking warmth through our skin
Sipping silence with each other
Until she'd laugh,
Laugh like a pin to a balloon
And we'd part,
Not knowing
Our next adventure.
