I've lived in Oregon
As long as I can remember
I've hated the rain
It's relentless and cold

But now I like the rain
Because it reminds me of you
tapping on my windows
To wake me up

I can barely feel you
Tracing my goosebumps
Like a mist
On a Sunday morning

And I can't hold you
Like you can hold me
Burning my face
And soaking my skin

Unfortunately, it's summer
There is no rain
And by the time it starts
You'll be gone

And I'll walk
with my hood down
Just to feel you run your hands
through my wet hair

Every soggy spring
Will remind me of you
And I hate umbrellas
So I guess I'm ******

I think I should move
To a different state
Where there's no rain
And no memory of you
The feels

god is a broken window
please let breath in tomorrow
monarch butterflies nest on the crown of my soles,
heels too eager to fly
crushed heavy in religious longing

pavements hiss loud colours,
i’m bottling it up again
you ask what
like
like you’ve forgotten you kiss storms
with those amnesiacs lips

fire presses the stairs of your spine
giggles clicking into place,
come soon
midnight pale and soft for us,
home is dark but true

clutch your insides like pearls,
barbwire smile,
a hollow cast of awards
you didn’t deserve,
marking them ‘ex’

encore

stage screaming a seduction
of violent,
how could you
i loved you

He smells like tobacco and sorrow. Sometimes I wonder if it's alright to fall in love with a mirage. You know that the only thing more painful than another mans name on her lips is one in her bed. Sometimes I wonder if it was your plan to fall in love so easily. With her drunken eyes and slurred words and to wake up in the morning thinking she'd be the same vision in white as she was in a red cocktail dress. The problem with society is that drunken mistresses don't always turn into sober wives. That sometimes you really can't make that '***' turn into a housewife. That if your ideals don't match and you push the issue then what? You're left heart broken and lost and hoping that she'll come back through the door wearing your t shirt and a smile. A man in love is a strange thing. A desperate man in love is a sad thing. I've realized that although I'm a woman (a biased woman, a sided woman, woman's woman) that sometimes it truly is men who deal with heartbreak the hardest. Either they break walls or break down.
You know who you are

It takes processing.
Every slice,
every tear,
one pint after the next.

Waiting for pain,
once again,
the cycle isn't bound to end.

Under control,
the edge in hand,
a round of jagged scars all around.

On the house,
a bout of pain,
a pitcher of grief,
can't get enough of this misery.

Look I been try a get this **** straight
But it keeps changing up the pace
Once I got it think I've caught it
Something else is in my face
I'm a product of this stress
Got a baby on the way
But this ***** is known for lying
Could be real or could be fake
And on top of that
Didn't get to see Brandi graduate
Just got to see pictures of it
Knowing I didn't put that smile on her face
Its that dude she's in love with
I wonder how it tastes
Giving me a dose of my own medicine
It's setting in
Gotta put on my kevlar vest again
Let no one in
Take these sedatives
Just for good measure when your pain is pleasure is it a sin
To tear a hole in yourself so big you see through it
Making these movements going through the motions choosing
Like the outcome wasn't coming
How can I grow up when I'm from nothing
Reputation leads assumption to the forefront
Got these girls looking storefront
While I'm just wondering what these ****** want
Just a long overdue vent. Written unedited from my mind in about 2 minutes

you are the fire that burns me
it brings me back to life
so i never complain

the sea that engulfs me
i love how it kisses my skin
as i slowly drown

the wind that weakens me
then a snowstorm froze my flesh
nothing can thaw it

A broken heart changes a person
Someone once happy and bright
Turns into a disease
Spreading their hatred and jealousy Into the lives of others
Making Petty drama
That rips love apart
Leaving two broken hearts in its wake
Don't let the end
Of someones happiness
Be the end of yours.

The night, is present with all her special accoutrements,
see how mystifying her final role is; from  now time is at a stand still!
the stellar remnants, after the play is finally over
                       --interstellar medium of gas, dust and dark matter
                       accumulated waste after the rock concert, light years long.

Sell it to the best collector of art in the cosmos
go fast,  find him before all the universes crumble.
Let each piece feed to his ego's need and the greed to possess
make him  brag to the cosmic pantheon that he has the Piccassos, Dalis
and The scream, Munch's epiphany of mankind's predicament,
and all the galaxies from the dwarf to the most massive
present, past and the ones just fermenting on a wasted hope,
and the most original of the nights, the very last ever.

We'll drink the bubbling white blood of the day and dance,
the moon is our accomplice, we want to disappear together
before everything starts to disintegrate,
humankind on a pilgrimage, has then a change of mind
ladies and gentlemen we now are going
not for a fishing expedition in tranquil seas, but for a hunt in the wild.

hunt the rest of the world that rejects
our proposal to surrender, to the inevitable, we invited
we were immortals till the day before
but then we found out everything has a price.
For the gift of fire to the mankind, Prometheus had to
endure tantalizing days and nights,  countless
let's forget the fear of sin, and false happiness of hope
even water becomes our pain,
once we are forced to think in terms of sustenance.

I heard the whispers of the wind when I walked through the path.
Every echo reminded me of misery, hurt, pain, disgust, lies, hates,
love.
I screamed in horror... I was scared to death.

"Please leave me alone!" they laughed as I begged.
I ran through the woods and found soft branches I can lean on.
I sniff and shut my eyes; not wanting anyone to touch me.
A squeak of noise escaped in the dark.

I heard a laugh... my heart dropped and fainted.

I was about to find my way out when a crow suddenly grabbed my leg!
It touched me.
It touched me.
It touched my everything.

I cried in hurt and pleasure.
It felt good but it hurt.
I tried to escape the touches of wings yet... I failed.

I was horrified. I was scared.
I was not able to let go.
The pain enjoyed each and every moment.

I cried in hurt and pleasure.
Disgusted of the ***** of grass and twigs; disgusted of myself.

It suddenly left without a word
and I lied alone... blood shattered from below.

*I was dead.
