she
is
hiding

she wears
an
Spider-Man costume
in
the
closet

she has the voice
of
an
bat-man
stealing
from
robins

she cooks me their eggs
her hot-plate personality
cooks them
over
easy

she comes from the closet
shooting webs
she webbed me
to the wall
she shoves her ******
in
my
mouth


this is all
we
know
?

time is meaningless
yet ultimately
all that matters
runs by time

we race time
in the search for each other
without intention
running
side     by     side
looking the same way
it is my fervent hope that we're going the same speed

My neglected duties lie in a heap on the floor, my head hurts as I stare down at them. So many.
And time? Fleeting.
I receive no sympathy from time. I evoke no empathy from my own conscience, nor fantasy.
All the unspoken words I’ve neglected to voice lie gentle on the nightstand.
And I sleep sound.

you always said that you love the chase
and, my darling, i'm no good at running

Isn't this feature amazing?
I said ever beaming.

Hurry,
Figure out the clues.

Time is ticking
As the blood is dripping

It's almost midnight
Goodbye, Cinderella.
Air is gone

Running from something

Noises in shade

Shape shadow

Covered in sounds name,

Speak in creaks...

...hear: and wonder what if:

It came up behind you... and held you in grip.

A thing of dark

Undiscovered, never seen

Perhaps grown in the fertile soil

Of runaway dreams.

~

So run through the courtyard

And pray the door opens,

And isn't the cavern

To the mouth in it's head.

So run through the courtyard!

And feel the door open

Just pray it isn't

To the mouth in it's head.

oh, whimsical mind,
full of magic and zest!

you're on another journey
one whole new conquest;

though you're fast on your feet,
quick to open a new treasure chest,

now is the time to settle down,
and let me ******* rest.
it is 4:22 am aaaaaaaaaa

Sitting in this dark room
Running from my own darkness
Drowning out this fear and pain
With cold liquor and burning nicotine

Anxiety is spiraling through my veins
And the alcohol tames it for a minute
But then again I'm drinking alone
And that itself is dangerous

My clean arms are taunting me
Begging me to stain them red
With my own hands
To coat them with my own demons

I've been clean awhile now
And I've been doing well
But some days I'm not so sure
Because the knife is always a few feet away

How do you **** something inside yourself?
How do you escape your own feelings?
I know it's unhealthy
But these substances make it easier to deal
Sometimes I say to myself
I just wanna run
Til my sadness gone
Til the leaves are ready to fall
And I run on a carpet of leaves
I walk several steps to take
A wonderful my tame snake

"What's the worst feeling?"
"When you feel like you're running
a marathon, but everyone else
simply sees
a 50 meter sprint."
