Watch for the poison,
in the search for hydration.

same clothes and the same smell,
same room and the same hair gel–
good handwriting and the fairwell–
every now and then I just feel compelled
to lay in ash and let the heart churn.
to lay in ash and let the scars burn.
to lay in ash in hopes I’ll discern
what the past is yelling with a reverb
same clothes and the same smell,
dead heart lives in a young cell
and the water’s dried in a new well,
could I be the pool that’ll consume hell?
just a drop, just a drop
a drip of time for a broken clock
a moment merry with a single petal
until life’s hands come to cut your knot
but a word, whether auditory or a written letter
whisper to me or pick up your feather
rehash to me a time of us together
or just give detail of the local weather
same clothes and the same smell,
too familiar but I can’t tell
how the notes played don’t produce spells
is it wordplay? Is it truth–
truth is, truth is hidden by a hoodie–
silhouette, water–dirt, very muddy
with confusion, has me seeing blurry;
tears of hope sting, supper’s full of hurting and
the similarity is too concerning…
same clothes and the same smell,
but the voice, no, no the voice fails
and the face lies, quite the fox tail
this is not right, this is not real
–
a wolf in white wool tells me I’m his friend
the teeth in his jaw are bathed in fresh blood
we’re friends from the past and though I thought he was dead
he defeated his troubles like he said that he would (–did he?)
because of slow sense and the charm of his wit
I’m the meal and the victim, defeated in good
same clothes and the same smell but
its. not. You.

Love and hate
Both require devotion, more than enough to challenge fate
Both known to be used as a powerful bait
The realization of either can often land a dollar short or a day late
Both can rear their ugly heads at first sight, on the first date
What one is the strongest trait?
Disney shows one over the other but if you were to look into it further you might see the actual history reveals it's no checkmate
What one will ruin your life faster is up for debate
Obviously not a hot take
Show me someone saying only one of 'em can make your life great
And I'll direct you straight to a liar just trying to narrate some amateur bs to placate
To hide the primate, trying illustrate the opposite of it's namesake
Investing in either one, one over the other puts a lot at stake
And don't be fooled
Both love and hate will walk hand in hand with you to heartache
I can't sit here and say I hate to love nor do I love to hate
Just forced to live the second half with no heart to break
The phrase make it or break it plays seconds before I notice I broke what I made...
...once again...
...for **** sake

I'm tired of being hurt,
I'm tired of never being enough,
I'm tired of being dragged through the dirt,
So now, I guess, its up to me to get tough.
Fooled me once,
Fooled me twice,
But guess again,
Because it won't be thrice.
Who needs friends
Or anyone else
If in the end,
It's just yourself?

You took my broken heart into your hands
And tore it into billion pieces
You see the tears that fall from my face, and
the screams that come out of my mouth
But you didn't care.
U just laughed at me
Because you know in this battle you´ve won.
You fooled me down to the nit and gritty,
Even when I knew you were just using me,
You threw my tore up, bleeding heart on the cold, hard pavement
And left without saying a word
Leaving me there to die alone

You gave me a thousand reasons why,
You made it a mandate that I be with you.
You showed patience and care,
How Could not have believed you.
You painted a perfect picture of tomorrow,
A priceless canvas that would draw so many stares,
I fell for it, And I got glue.
How did I not see that it was all just an illusion.
You drew the curtain, and I saw the dark reality
Although you remembered every word I said,
You never tried to know me,
You 'crammed' your way into me,
Just so you could forget when you had me.
Surely the joke is on me,
You got me so fooled,
You made me think this was a happy ever after,
Clearly that kind of love only happens in fairytales.

Hello there
insect buzzing through the air
why don't you come & sit in my snare...
...I mean chair
I have six legs, see?
I'm just like you
oh, these? my arms?
why yes, there's two
so come, little one
dawn has begun
take refuge from the sun
in this hammock I've spun
there, isn't that nice?
what? your legs?
you said they won't move?
there, there my winged friend
I know just what to do!

You searched to the depth of their profiles instead of searching for my soul.
You scrolled down endless streams of girls who gave you false dreams while I waited in reality.
You showed yourself to a few but never all of yourself to me.
I’ll give it to you. I believe in you and your career more than ever now. You really stuck to your role for an entire year. You made all my worries of you not loving me seem like a myth. You tricked me into thinking my feelings of unworthiness didn’t need to exist.
You won the Oscar for that one in my eyes. Congratulations you fooled me, you can fool anyone now.

she raw whispered, edginess deep in her throat,
combo of delighted annoyance coated in
wary weariness of she-wanted-wonder,
what he wants that I can keep/take?
my untold secrets he knows how?
needy aches unsatisfied uncovering,
his knowings creates unfamiliar needs,
accentuates secretions of secrets discovering
did not ask for revelations without no resolution,
how dare he tense me in private places hid,
my properties aren’t his, my neck, eyes,
tonguing my senses is crazy senseless
this schema, this tracing of a figurine,
braising my body in his, its own sauces,
while perfume of mine unrequested are mined,
taken away in railway cars to his treasure houses
left utterly gagging and gasping
to hell with him, unbounded gone,
to heaven by him, I went bounding up,
giving me that everything I never desired
***but only knew him as the my-mysterious,
tales unwritten yet tensed in the familiar,
poems elucidating, all that I didn’t
write, knew, but never uttered***
*now, now! all are freely spoke aloud,
outed, foundering, highlighted and now
decomposing me, I’m honestly betrayed by
what he calls the sense, the knowing of the unknown*

The words you said , and the way you loved me.
I never questioned myself that you would be temporary.
- I thought wrong.

empty promises are full
filled with unplanted flowers
by the voices of our loved
the seeds whisper ***** words
that are used against us
they are manipulation
in its most exquisite form
we are completely blinded
we are fooled to think it’s love
let me tell you a secret
empty promises are not

I always thought
“They were the one”
How many times
I forgot
But too many till I thought it was real
Little did I know
I was fooled
I was tricked
By sweet talk and little “gifts”
Thought I meant something
But it was nothing
I was “trash”
To them at least
Happiness,sanity
They slowly faded away
Sadness engulfed me
I was trapped
For real
I’m this pit of darkness
Worse than Tartarus
Fear-shaken
I was broken
And changed
My heart became stronger
No longer made out of glass,
But steel

there are voices in her mind,
constant echoes that bubble wildly,
telling her that she's not good enough.
it tricks her into thinking,
that maybe... just maybe,
she's really not good enough.
they tell her she's not suitable,
not for this not for that,
and she just happens to believe them.
as naive as she is,
she's quickly fooled,
for thinking she doesn't have the potential.
but deep down,
passing the harsh reminders,
she really is good enough.

His love makes her fly
Up in the bright sky
Now,she's higher than high
And riding the cloud nine
When he call an angel 'mine'
An angel in heaven
Is already fallen
An angel left broken
As his man left back then
She's like a crushed airplane
An angel fell on the ground
She was fooled by his man around
An angel wasn't his true love
She was treated by his fake love

Waste of time, tears, and companionship
Creator of my joy
Destroyer of the same
Everything isn't enough
Nothing ever is
Speak of others
Using me to their advantage.
You became worse than them.
Speak of others
Being distant.
You became further than them
No more speak of others
It was you
Your intention
A plan of your own invention
To manipulate
To play
To leave

You'll always be at rainbow's end
Eternal *** of gold
A fairy tale told long ago
Forever I've been sold
I try so hard but out of reach
With each hand would grab hold
No need for words so please don't speak
Would never let you go
But when I give up in defeat
The cycle getting old
The hill to climb becomes too steep
Turn down 'Yellow Brick Road'
The Wizard who I wish to meet
Told he can take me home
I hear the scurrying of feet
New shadow is well known
But like they say it's "Trick-or-treat"
And both will I be shown
With me you stand here in the street
No longer I'm alone
Now found; forever I had seeked
But actions had been cloned
Reached out but this dream could not keep
Like that; I'm turned to stone
You laugh and turn off in retreat
A call without a phone
A diet forced myself to eat
These actions had been sewn
This game of love again I'm beat
And tossed like trash I'm thrown
You stole from me just like a cheat
This life I live alone
No tears to cry but inside weep
My head, the space I roam
No need to hide; Escape don't seek
From now on is my home

Reliving and Preliving
may all my signals ghost to sway
Just falter information
i shall be spirited and a weather
A clamour among all my houses
an assault laid upon my understanding
Tired
in knots
combing out the fantastic
a floss upon a sea
and not a wound
; Misplaced I shall better be.
and then I breathe
this is no longer to be
I am in practice
; unfooled to better be

I should've known
You played a sweet smile
Capturing innocent hearts
Trust flows without thinking
Who knows I played
Right into your silly games
Trapped without knowing
Full of exposed,
You took things for granted
And left things unfinished
Selfish, creepy's me
I can't trust anymore
Well played,
You radiate the pain I feel

He sculpted himself
Into my "perfect person"
And I loved it
Till I realized
It was an act
And I was nothing
But a toy
To play with.

I have never understood
why people gravitate towards light
when it blinds the eyes that cannot adjust
when it can be traitorous
how long have they taught us to reach for light
to reach for a hope that is not really there?
how long have we been fooled that it is purely good
that it will be the salvation of all?
I have found more comfort in darkness
for it does not choke the life out of the shadows
for it does not parch the lands with its severity
for it does not deprive
and i do know
that with darkness there lurks an evil
a doubt that traps you in its embrace
a danger within the shadows
i have been so afraid of such a love
so afraid that they will cast me out because of what i want
for it is not what they dream of
for the shadows are their fear
but i will stand by it
because in darkness
i have found the cure
for the unending light
