daddy’s obsession
with my sister strikes at the
heart of me. but looking at it real
objectively, i think i understand. she’s
soft. pliable. gullible. it’s easy enough to
believe his declaration that should someone
root out his secrets, he’ll swallow a bullet.

you know, he just might, though i see him
as much more likely to pick up that gun
and shout mom, especially if he’s on
a ******. more and more of those
lately, both for him and for
me. my own obsession.
falling in to a state
of numb.

All my life you've been all I've sought
Without your presence my life is not,
Unlocked
The demons
No, I mean the season
Of my obsession
I mean,
Affection
That's what you did

Can't you see that i'm obsessed
I mean can't you see that
I'm in
Love
With you.

I love you
To the point where i'd
Rip the innocence off your skin
And take a picture of you wearing
Fear
As time draws near
I live to hear the melody of your tears
As you cry for your
Freedom

But I have come to a conundrum
After all I've done
For you,
My love still speaks
louder then yours

Why don't you feel the same,
Say you feel the same
Can't you see
I'm in
love
with you

WHY CAN'T YOU SEE
THAT I'M
Obs...

Why can't you see i'm
in love with you

To the point where
I won't let
Time
Take you away from
Me

Let me be the
Cause of your
Death
So I can say

True Love
Killed You.

Who are you?
& who am I?
You held my hand and made it fine
I cried in the cab, accepting the  fact
That I’m with a boy and it feels ******* right
Acceptance is key, you see I never had it
I’m a freak in my body, a leech, & an addict?

the fluorescent haze of midnight in the city
observent, patient, longing

hands cradling nectar
caffeinated teeth pulling at the flesh of your lips

intergalactic mind
smattered with careless constellations
I think my gravity has been stolen

my symbiotic smile
stems from the curl of your lips
I think my autonomy is buried with my rationality

The husk of Persephone’s fruit
Stale on my tongue
I bathe in the honeyed promises that ooze
until liquid fills my lungs
and I am consumed

Do you think of me?
When bitter coffee burns your mouth
Caffeinated teeth pulling at the soft flesh of your lip

Do you think of me?
When light dapples your pillows
Silhouetted ghosts of past nights slow-dancing on the walls

You consume me
Physically, mentally
My gravity is disrupted by your stare

I am in orbit
Around the idea of love
Love with you
Love with us

In my mind I have crafted you
To be more than the physical form can obtain
And though I am let down
I am buoyant
Though your waves hurl me to shore
I drift back with the surf
And let the next take me

Clockwork
Just a taste, then the image fades
Now more than ever,
I want to wake next to a stranger

Clockwork
I know you ache, I know,
I’ll make your pain disappear
Like a bandit, like a devil

Clockwork
There you go, just a taste
I savor every bite, I do
Clockwork

So ready am I,
To lay down my life,
For you.

In the hopes of,
Catching a glimpse,
Of your radiant smile.

All the while,
You hate my way,
All the while,
You walk away.

Well, aren't you beautiful
In the sunlight today?
Your sweaty face
A shovel in your hands
You look at me
But no soul can be seen
In your cold blue eyes
The water you give me
Is all muddy and *****
Oh, I can't grow like this
With you

The sunrays dance
All alone today
Without your face
And the heat of your hands
Warmer than the sun
It sings a sad song
And I sing along
The water you used to give
I need it more than anything
Oh, I'm going to die here
Without you
