I have sticky skin it's too humid outside and looking through the bathroom mirror into myself I think my veins are sticky too and maybe the blood in them is too I'm not sure does moving blood make your heart rate faster all you people u r losing it mummies frick the mummies spinning in circles in Beatles boots C I S R E L C of throbbing pulses brand new birthmarks on necks of people why so empty vacillating back and forth like miniature seconds seconds of time time like breath marks in a piece of music BREATHE beFore YoU dIe and it is over the 'it' has yet to find a definition this is a rhetorical question why did you leave? for lacy clothes under cotton pants bought somewhere on the beach in MuMbAi covering a gentle sloping navel u ppl feeling nothing like a rubber band snapped on a leg covered in jeans snapping a rubber band against my wrist until it is red feeling things lips are stained with coffee and my teeth taste sour of caffeine this is the song of the Lost oNe my arteries burn less now and breathing without laying backwards on the carpet comes easily lOsT OnE hasn't changed but I have

sticky skin
Whoever thought we’d say goodbye so early To a woman that meant so much to so many You’ve left behind hidden gems in us all Especially the one that no matter what, we better stand strong and tall But even in this unfortunate absence She still instills The ability to survive in the world Some of us even picked up that amazing cooking gift you have The ability to love tough when needed And the high pedestal on how we should be treated On how to be frugal and 100% independent From start to finish, she was committed This was a major loss for us ShotGun But the many gems you instilled will forever stand The most beautiful of them all, you’re now in the right hands amongst them all. We Love You

She Instills
I look up at the sky And cry Every night I hope this is some sick dream That life isn't what it seems I lost myself that day When you went away I hid it well Mommy and Daddy could never tell I have a flashback in my mind every time I see a cigar or a gold watch or even a cross necklace You are constantly playing in the background of my brain like a movie that is up too loud and I am on the phone with my boss but can’t find the remote to turn it down I googled how to let go I realized that I can’t let go if I don’t want you to leave I can’t turn raw pain into an elegantly worded piece of literature I tried it's evident exactly where my heart broke It visually depicted exactly when my tears start to stream down my face If you look close enough I am drowning in a pit of false happyness and fake hope
