i was told
that the veins
in my hands
are art

i despise them
because they
return blood
to my heart

*c.b
Undisputed,
Never challenged,
Constant victor,
Over my divided mind,
Always leading back,
To the same sorry state,
Of denying myself,
Happiness and trust,
Like they would hurt more,
Than my self-torturing brain,
That closes me off,
Locks me in a perfect prison,
With walls of fear and indecision,
That crush me slowly,
From within,
Until I bleed,
My soul onto a page,
And create a new me on a blank screen.
Liquid Impulses seep through my bones
and become an unavoidable poison
with the power to shatter my glass organs right through my bleeding skin
I am getting you *****, but you handle secrets well

anything to make you feel more special than standing at the airport making small talk with every pair of lungs so it doesn't look like you're facing all this mass alone

I asked you politely to stop forcing continents and veiny constellations on me
but nightly pleasure is your forte

and I'm not going to pretend I want you to stay

you have handguns that you pray you'll never use, during your long visits to ceremony

you call yourself lonely, but can barley say it because like always you're loosing your voice

I won't allow you
To question me
On old, broken mirrors
And old, shattered dreams
I won't let you see me
Based solely
On what the world did to me
Through the eyes of self-pity
So to answer your questions
Yes, I'm doing just fine
With all that has happened
I found a way to survive
Not by myself though,
I can't stand here and lie
I had some extra help
Something divine
I haven't written in such a while. I feel like my poetry is somehow loosing value. I don't know what to write about but these words came to my mind in a split second.

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

you** are the sovereign tide
i- the feeble yacht you consume
i contort and conform to abide
by the rules from which you are excused

i am the pathetic attempt
the sun makes to escape from the clouds
whilst you are its radiant rays
that no darkness could ever beat down

i am the dust of the earth
and you are the Northern Lights
whilst I dwell on my lack of worth
you climb to unprecedented heights
feelin' kinda ******

It flows
    And stops
         It dies
              And clots
                  Revives
                       It thrives
                          Until I drop

As alcohol courses through me
Turning pure blood to taint
My wits are dulled
And thoughts askew

That light is rather bright
That one up ahead
Too boozed up
To find the brake

...


Awaking briefly
No pain
Talking man with his blue mask
Hooking up a bag of life

It's red and thick
I've seen it before
Perhaps it was mine I gave
My life is too pathetic for another to save

Irony of my own blood replacing
My own blood

Is it worth it
Should they bother

Let me suffer my consequences

Just let the blood stop

I can already it feel it starting to clot.
