I feel Alone, and she feels me in return.
Reassures me when there's nowhere to turn.
One thing is certain.  I'll know it 'till the end
I'll always have Alone when I need a best friend.

(Living alone is an inspiration.  It becomes clear what your solve craves;  what you can't live without.)

The blood drips from the walls and the door is locked,
a slow death.
The light that I crave seems so far away,
as I sink deep.

And while I sit here
near the fire
I wonder how the electric
movements of the flames
would feel on my
skin.
Captivating as it dances,
just drawing me in closer.
I guess it's good that I'm not alone right now.
But it's beautiful.
Not the flames,
but the thought of pain.

I crave the broken contact lenses; the accidental hip bone to granite corner counter top collisions.
I breathe ****** hang nails, and surprise scalding water.
I drink up the catches in my side, and deep paper cuts.
The splinters in my heels and soap in my eyes are kin to milk and honey to the weak and weary.
I live for the arm hair caught in my bracelet, and blinding headaches that plague me nightly-
Because for a single second in the inexplicable, unexpected pain of that beautiful fleeting moment,
I forget-- for one unadulterated second- the crushing weight of your weightlessness; your absence.
Beautiful Shame Jul 2014
So sick of going insane, in this humid bed in this dark room,
All my mind does is turn everything back around onto the subject of you.
All my memories with you in them play through my head like show, crazy thing is when I see you tomorrow, you'll never know.
I can't sleep because I so desperately wish you were here, to hold my hand & talk to me until I fall asleep, letting me know that life can be safe. Just like you did that one night.
My heart craves for you like a growling stomach does for food.
But the part that's really killing me, is that you told me yourself, our love can never be, you love men.
It hurts so bad, this is tourture!
So every night I lay here, suffering in this hot, stuffy bed, remembering all the good times that we had, that I know will be no more, because my confession of love has made our friendship awkward.
Please I beg of you take our friendship off hold.
still you **** me, this isn't love
I tried to be someone else
but that just gave you another girl to *****.
you've brought me down.
and I can see you don't play around,
bring me skin to breathe
I need your bones next to me,
it's so sad, you see?

I crave the times you left your mark on me
I could go back to when you were touching me.
now I'm drunk and alone,
sitting on the phone,
listening to the sound of the paradise in your tone.

there are city streets I have not paraded down
and stars I have not kissed beneath
there are bridges to be crossed
and burned
elevator buttons to push and flights of stairs to climb

I have a thirst to see the world
I want to scrape the corners for every last taste
I want to awake in a city I don’t belong in,
but I have potential

sometimes I think about how much time I wasted on you
wanting to be labeled as “Yours”
how silly of me to forget
what the world is holding for me outside of your arms
