I need you to stay in your place
So I can drive off the cliff safe
Hold on to your seat
Say your final deceit
There's a tree heading straight for your face

Each night we go to bed
With sheets made of ice and blankets of lead

Each night we try to sleep
With a wall at our backs built from secrets we keep

Each day we rise and then
We step onto the stage till it's bedtime again

For you I'd settle down
Maybe a little too low
Drag you to the ground
Drain your spirit slow
            
For you I'd rise above
Maybe a bit too high
Drag you by your love
Then
      drop
you
         from
the
      sky

Eat my silence

Keep my words

Taste the violence

You've incurred

What have they done to my body?
Why's there a hole in my chest?
When did they discard what was rotting ?
Where have they hidden the rest?
How is it I know they are plotting
To serve me up to my own guests?
What, why, when, where, how

If I was never good,
Was I always bad?
If I was never happy,
Was I always sad?
If I was never pleased,
Was I always mad?
If I was never forgiven
I wish you had

I try not to be the bad that happens to good
people
But good intentions seem to be the only good I got

If I could ***** my life onto paper,
what would that look like?
If I could projectile my being into words,
how would it read?
If I could splatter myself on canvas
like the moonlight
Could I finally rip it up
and become me?
Zoe Mae Jan 2019
When I don't answer
There is no question
When I say nothing
Nothing was said
When I'm at ease
There is no tension
When I don't bleed
I can't see red

If you've never
loved
And you've never
lost
Then you've never
lived
