pick my lifeless body off the ground
you know who did it, he beat me down
I tried to stop, but the words slipped out of my mouth
There was no stopping, the secret is out.
Take this body, turn it into ash,
Punch through this life, can't promise no cast
Kiss me on the cheek, it's poisonous.
**** me under your sheets, it's dangerous.
My insanity will go from me to you
Passing for only a moment to see the view.
Cry to your family and friends
Go ahead, beg me, this isn't the ******* end.
Now let's try and pretend this broken heart can mend.

call me a mess then
pack me into boxes. place me
on the driveway with your old
mattress and couches
better off with a guy who says i'm only
worth a dollar and 50 cents tell him to
buy your mother of pearl lamp set
and throw me in for free instead
i swear i did not make this up in my head
call me a mess then
pack me into boxes, along with
the 23 poems i wrote for you
a garage sale display of my
shattered periphery

i swear i did not make this up in my head

I miss you like I miss ******* running through my veins.
Like I miss forgetting my head was attached to my body.
Like skipping out on dinner dates to run suicides,
like yeah I was sweating red and white down my nose.
Like I forgot to call you and tell you I had gotten clean.
I miss you like the way I miss falling in love with you again in my dreams.
Like waking up to realize you’re not there.
Like trying to wiggle my way into your heart
and say I’m sorry I burned you here.
Like wishing I could have you near again.
I miss you like withdrawals and headaches that turned me inside out.
Like remembering the Morse code pattern of your mouth.
Like writing you to sleep.
Like hearing you say you loved me.

I am freezing
And you are burning

Icicles forming on the inner corners
Of my eyes like lost sleep
While a fire rouges
You’re skin

You are the hot stove
I was always warned not to touch
I am the lost ice cube
You kicked under the fridge

Maybe we should get a little closer
So I can cool you down
And you can warm me up

I came upon the mark today,
and thus I passed it by.
I do not wish to linger here,
no, i would rather fly.
So on my way i ventured forth,
a smile on my face.
I've traveled down this road before,
but have never seen this place...!

i push people away
because i fear if i do not
they may eventually realize
that i am not worth it
and i would rather do the pushing
then be the one who's left to burn
alone

You are not the scars on your body, and you are not the mistakes you have made, and you are not the people who have hurt you

You are the sun & the stars and music late at night and bare feet on fresh grass. You are all the things that keep you alive when it's 1am and your insides are screaming.
