Everyone has taste me dried From the soul to local heart Lick my wounds like sugar in cane Tell me it's for my own sane Give my wounds a healing juice But so much of me is leaching out Like imbecile how I am Left with bone and dry eye How can you taste me like And tell me it's for my good You spit on me and I am bad? Like I used my mouth to drink I did nothing but cut my self I bleed and you licked it Red tongue glossy lips sharp eyes pupils big dripping blood from the corner of your lips Don't you dare tell me I am helping you Licking blood will stop the bleeding I did convince but The moment you start ******* from my wound I realized what you are It was a mistake I grab a towel till you lick me dry Now my heart is no longer beats My soul is ceased to breath And yet you say It was me who cut my race

Help of snake
Last night I remembered your first play when I brought a golden ticket to declare to all that I'd watched your grace. You were the light of that stage, really more convinving than that cunning man on the phone convinving me to lend him some dodgy loan. The story was yours heck I'd forgotten there were others apart of the town We all stood up in your honour and cheered in worth that matched your gaze uplifted my spirits, and so, I understood the world's craze. But the second night I came to watch your act, as my lover you were as cold and unbothered as I ever knew. And the audience had never been so quiet while you stumbled your lines like a toddler and made mockery of the stage that i thought you once graced. I left the theatre that night, amazed by all your lies, of your rehearsed words and decorated fancy. I shall say this and it'll stick Never shall I trust an actor again or buy a ticket to my own set-up shame!

a script-struck fool
You told me you had my back... Now my shadow is still behind me, And where on earth are you?

Love has come and gone The trust is fleeting Like blossoms On a tree How can I tell witch is Loving fact Or hurtful lie When you betray Our love I am like seasons I come in phases And I know that I will find Another in the spring Sorry. Most move on.

Poem of love lost
You swept me out to sea, I followed you willingly. Then you threw my heart onto the rocks So the fragments washed away from my grasp. I couldn’t find myself again, Piece my heart back; mend. Yes, I saw the light, no, I did not take caution But it was your dry shores that kept me Strewn for so long, they watched As my ship corroded in wait Of help from your imaginary inhabitant. You are the deceiving lighthouse I should have stayed away from your edge. But your beam pulled me in A warning sign in the disguise of a friend.

Deceiving Lighthouse
I know it seems insane When you think of all those who betrayed It’s like a sip of hot tar With a pinch of toxic air That scratches at the back of your throat And pulls out the molten lungs in folds No memory so bitter can be casually erased Only time heals the bruised in pain

Bruised
I know this blue It is old Maybe ancient Changing shape but still the same I know these scars They are heavy with memory And cold from shame How many life times have we done this? How long have I been bleeding And how energetic you always are I am empty hands I am all screams silent and aching I the fool, all aglow with love Happily being walked across Accepting pain that I am always, Always too young to process and forever too old to cry about I am a pleasure best invisible And it’s best I keep my joy to me Less your hug becomes the squeezing Becomes the cutting off of oxygen Becomes the death nearly as cold as the spaces you have for me Why don’t you stay away So I can remember who I am

I Know This Blue
*I am a bad person I don't belong here I never did Don't you see I'm a nothing A nobody An emo piece of trash That should never have existed I get called **** I get called fat And yet I won't eat My body won't let me And it hurts 4 days 4 days with nothing 4 long days with crying 4 days telling myself I should go 4 days telling myself You all would be better off If I wasn't here You would be And he tried to stop me Break downs Not eating Cutting I thought I was doing good But the cycle goes on and on And he was the only one to notice I hide behind a fake mask So none of you will worry But what do I get I play mad so you won't see I'm sad I play happy so you won't see I'm tired I get blocked I get called names And worst of all I thought I was getting better But I broke So have fun And I'll have fun as me And my blocked life*

Screaming From Within(Written by a friend)
One drop and then another rolling down dusty cracks in a windowpane; as transparent as the clouds. Here they fall, whispering widows traces as substantial as the autumn leaves when the wind whimpers, as substantial as your smile when I'm not looking. The drops simmer on, down the desert of expression fall down down down and I will make sure to look the other way.

I let you down again.
Just like the flow of a thought Our story coherently played out Each event like an intention ought To float on a wave of doubt Crashing on the shore of memory It was foamy and filled with greenery And the birds did feed on its nutrition And words written in the sand, destruction Of very moments that were sweet Now washed clean as a sheet

Tongue (15w)
She is a pearl, not fully grown yet. She hides in her shell away from the predators that only want to rob her of herself. Over the years she grows, she adapts to the world around her because she knows that once she is done growing she will be something beautiful. She plays show and tell with the tales of her young depression, the solitary game of hide of seek that she wanted so badly to win but she could never find herself. The only game she ever wins is the mind game that no one other than herself can figure out. She is awarded champion for making it into high school, the hell years of her life. She did it, she made it this far, And now everyone and everything are at her throat trying to drown her in her self doubt and the misery that a waits when she comes up for air. She holds her trophy high as if it was supposed to be a beaken of hope repeating to herself "I can do it". She questions her heart, like her heart is the one teasing her with happiness but we all know it isn't. She tries so hard to hide herself from everyone who could potentially cause her harm but its impossible, her shell is cracked and everyone has found the opportunity to try to break in. Her insecurities are scars, heart breaks are bruises, betrayel shows as broken bones, dishonesty are missing teeth for each person who has ever walked out of her life. ... She plays a game of show and tell with her young depression, like she can point to each scar and say "I was fat", each bruise and repeat "he left me for her", each broken bone, each tooth and her tears will tell you the rest. She will walk over to her trophy case and sigh because she knows it doesn't give her hope, its just proof showing she could withstand breaking infront of everyone for years. She is a pearl who grew up the wrong way, she will never be perfect. She will have dents and cracks and she won't be as strong as she was supposed to be. But that doesn't matter because only beautiful people show their flaws, She is still everything beautiful to me.

Anya sings words I would rather she have not spoken and decimates what little remained between us all. He looks to me and I pointblank-sawnoffshotgun refuse to meet sight of sapphire sky eyes now too singing along to her song. My mother always said you were two sides of the same paper and you will both slice me the same. But scissors always win; laceration's chorus croons to all. Origami smiles so carefully cultivated as I kindle our final swansong, a celebration in flames - simultaneous ignition of friends to lovers and that irrevocable rendering; razing lovers to ash.

Of friends and lovers.
And as he leaves me with his words of wisdom His blessing I am expelling every sound he utters away from myself I flinch from his touch A pat on the back is like acid on my skin In his presence I am forced to tape myself up Whether it is to keep myself from exploding or from falling apart I still don't know But there are times when my pieces begin to shake and quiver so violently that I start to leak and a storm rages in my head while the rain escapes through my eyes It is in that moment that I scream at him to leave, without making a sound And it scares me that he knows what I look like naked because he has stared at women with my same body on the internet and has drooled over the same curves and lumps that I have And it scares me how he can sound so sane. So sane that he convinces himself that he is stable And it scares me that no one but me and my mother will ever truly understand how distorted his thought process is All this fear and anger sit, rotting inside my stomach and at the center of the mass of hate, there is a spot of sadness for the good dad that left when I began to understand the things a young child should not be able to understand
