ugh
don't be my distraction.
don't be my reason why.
i don't even know you
and yet I'm wanting to make you into something that
you are not.

With 10,000 miles between us
I have been finding things to do,
And right now I don't miss you
In a week we find out if I actually miss her

i washed a lot of dishes at work today
my hands are raw and red
and my fingers have a lot of small cuts

but i’m happy
because better to have
red raw hands
than red raw eyes
and better my fingers cut
than my wrists slit
long but rewarding day of work

Some last longer than others
These silly hobbies of mine
But not one seems to live on
All only there to keep from whine

A ball of yarn
A book of sign
Art supplies and more
but none really seem to shine

Art projects
learning new languages
all these material objects
distracts me from the anguish

The dipping
The dying
The writing
The creating

It takes away the harshest of fears
and makes it easy to be with those I love so dear
It makes every thing a bit clear
and makes my problems seem so mere

But none of it sticks
and none of it stays
my interest in all
is not just delayed

All is temporary
These silly interests of mine
Melting crayons, or knitting beanies
*or thinking it will all be fine

For a while today
I met someone new
She was lovely
Best of all I didn't think of you

Thanks
For making me feel normal again
For talking to me about music
Instead of voices
About movies
Instead of nightmares
About friends
Instead of demons
About books
Instead of the insults
Etched on my hips
And the screams
On my lips
Thanks for
Helping me remember
The good times
And happy rhymes
I owe you one.
Because without you
As my oil
This machine
Couldn't run.

This was for a friend but we aren't very close anymore. Regardless, he really knew how to make me feel better and without trying he made me feel normal and happy and for that I am forever indebted to him.

Oh, darling, my focus is unbroken
until I hear your call
Those few words you'd spoken
In the twenty twelve fall
Spin in my head slightly broken

Boy, I'll never forget you
But I ought to move along
You're welcome on this trip too
Sing with me my lyricless song
We'll search for the greatest view

Trust me, and the church of blue and green
Run through the ultimate adversity
and the ultimate strength will be seen
I'll follow you; invoke my curiosity
even through you're only eighteen

Oh, darling, my focus is unbroken
until I hear our song
an off-pitch love token
soon- it won't be long
before the truth is spoken

And I'll have to get out now
wait, slowly focus returns
as it will I vow
as the pills tip back and the incense burns
Take a bow

The focus is back and your love is gone

I shut my eyes for a moment, and you left.
