Grabbed my hand and lured me to her rose bed Marks on my neck and my hip I laid my head on her thigh As she put her hand in my hair I felt like I was going to die My cross necklace weighed heavy on my neck But I knew something then I will never find it in me to submit to a man I will never be his wife Sharp teeth curly hair Hips swayed and stomach rose Smoke swirled around her hips And I knew then I was born not of Adam But of Eve And Lilith had claimed me

A dream I had
Scorched earth dripping from my fingers (you know how sometimes the smell of smoke can save lives? and how sometimes I'd prefer I slept in) glistening a while as the pieces crumble into invisibility. I'm ever waiting To become what I make, and I don't mind if you let me think I'm winning the race until I've lost you completely If I don't speak please don't take it to heart, my best years are gone but you can have my ghost If you wish to. I'll be here. Ever writhing, tied to my promise: no longer screaming. My silence Is the best gift you could ever wish from me, if you knew me well-enough you'd know that to be true. I've took on so many names and faces and manipulation tactics, at this point I'm a one-man-cult Victimising shadows, I'm kind to myself now but I still feel nothing mostly, but that doesn't have to be your problem Any longer Than you make it, I've grown up some with little option otherwise. I'm yours I'm yours I'm yours, for as long as I'm willing to be dragged around. Fallen weak, Ever-bleeding as long I can breathe without thinking. Some memories are better left untouched and some regrets taken to the grave and some people left to crumble themselves to nothing again and again, undisturbed for as long as can be expected. Don't wait up for me, you'll end up as good as a prayer for the dead to return.

so proud and so unforgiving / "(...)bruised (...) all of the time"
i thought we'd ****** in shared breath, hot and sweet peach lips parted not in passing one another silent avoiding eye contact

Red flags
"It's the only color I call home, because where the flora is green, life will always be seen." By K.A.S. The storm ebbs, Always at the very edge, Teetering off the very ledge. The storm flows, But it just never moves, It just never goes. I remember when your words dressed me so proudly. I remember when your eyes said love so loudly. But I guess I was right, Because every sunshine day ends in a cold dead night. You never knew what I meant When I swore every breath of yours was heaven sent. But I guess I was always wrong, Because we just sat in silence, Forgetting all our words, And forgetting all our songs. But I still love you from the highest sight, I still love you to the dimmest light. I still love you every day, I still love you every night. But if a time should come Where our future is unclear, Know that I love you always, I'll always be waiting right here. I think You might think That maybe I didn't feel when our ship began to sink. I think you didn't notice The break in my heart, And in all my other parts. Because you turned away When I started to decay. I don't know if you'll ever tell me Where we were led astray, But I know, now, Nothing green can stay. Yeah. Nothing green can stay.

When goodnight meant goodbye, this is how you love them when you've lost them
You were falling So I stretched out my porcelain hand But you were scared And you gripped it too hard Now it’s broken And so are you

I feel like you think of me As a child. Pat my head, Kiss my cheek, I'm cute sometimes I'm funny sometimes But I won't get what you think I won't get what you feel. You're proud of me occasionally, But you won't ever lean on me, Or let me help you. I'm too broken myself To help any part of you. And I'd like to say, That after each wall I break through There's another and then another, But there's only one or two I've gotten through. Maybe I am just a little girl, A child who's been too used And too injured To really get it, But that doesn't mean I can't get it. Though I understand the fear Of opening up to anyone. There was a lot of fear When I opened up to you. I just kind of thought, At first, "What do I have to lose?" Apparently a lot. I have a lot to lose.

Just a Little Girl
I can't really put together my inhabitable thoughts anymore. Everything about you is still left wide open just like the door you tore apart. I look for you now in everyone I meet. Searching for a small sign that you are still in my everyday life. That your smile isn't wiped off the face of the earth and you coffee eyes were still within someone else who shared the same taste of music as you. Your hands reminded me of maps which lead me to where I wanted to stay for the rest of my life. Every exhale that came out of you guided me like a lost sail boat and hushed me up to shore. I loved listening to the sound of your voice telling me to sleep, yet reminding me that our time was limited and that I didn't have all the time I needed to have with you. Absolutely no one can compare to how your coffee stains left on old written notes were like my gold stars. I felt at home in your arms and you were at peace in my head. I want that back. I want you back.

**** Mother Nature
The light dapples in Throwing odd shadows On the plastic surrounding me. Like a strange sunset put there To taunt my eyes Each droplet of water Is another arrow Shooting new spikes of pain Through my body Hundreds Thousands Millions of drops Per second Splash onto my skin. 1,000 2,000 I could have avoided the pain I could have stopped this Not going to the beach Not going on that walk But oh, I would not take it back. Not one second. Every Happy Minute was another Happy Memory To add to my collection And even As I lay here Rivulets of water Washing down my red skin I am making another. You tease me Like some cruel trickster Happiness Dripping down my back Turned to cruel Twisted Pain Running up my spine like a knife. Oh, blissful pain Would that I could feel You to your full relevance Instead, you trip over me Leaving pain in your wake. Like a torture machine. This feels so bad But so good. Once the water is freed From the contraption shooting it Like a pistol in my heart Onto my skin It rebels against its maker And trickles delightfully across me, sending delightful shivers Into me Only to betray me again. Oh, sweet treasure Would that your painful side were invisible So I Could sleep Once Again.

Sunburn and Skinned Knees
The first time I spent the night in his room, I did not sleep. He laughed when he came back from the bathroom to see that I had folded his shirt while he was gone, asked me why, and I did not answer him. At four o'clock in the morning I slithered away from his bed, wearing his sweatpants. I folded them neatly in my closet. When you grow up with a single mom, you learn quickly that there are times when you will have to be alone. You learn to do your own dishes and check your own homework and wash your own laundry. You learn to fold things neatly and put them away. There was never anything neat about you. No matter how many times I folded that shirt, my feelings for you were always messy and they were everywhere. It reminded me of laundry day, Clothes scattered around my room, listening to upbeat pop songs as I gathered them to be washed. Some things were muddy from a rainy October recess, there were white pants stained red from a ****** knee, a green sweater splattered with grape juice because I just couldn't keep my glass full. Some things almost looked clean, but I knew better. My days with you were full of almost clean. Evenings of red wine and laughing and card games that became nights of drunken giggling and pulling off my white tee shirt, stained with grown up grape juice. And my mom isn't here to help me get the stain out. In the morning, you made me tea and sang me Bob Dylan songs and I almost felt clean until I remembered your hands clasped at the curve of my waist the night before. But I am well versed in cleaning up my own messes. I lathered your sweat off my body with too-hot water and vanilla body wash, but your finger prints stayed under my skin and I couldn't remember the recipe for homemade stain remover and besides, it kind of looked like a pattern. I should know by now that wine is not going to make the messes any tidier, but it's nice to forget how bleach smells sometimes. You didn't notice how nicely my shirt was pressed when you were talking to her, and I guess that's when I realized that you didn't really mind the stain on her collar or the wrinkles And I realized how harsh I looked next to the dirt on your canvas shoes and the rip in your jeans. I guess I thought that if I folded my feelings for you neatly enough, you'd think it looked pretty, But I never imagined that you wanted me messy, you said you like sleeping outside and you wish you could see the stars in the city, I thought, I wish you looked at me the way you look at the galaxy. When you brought my sweater back to me, you told me you tried to fold it like I would, but I thought it looked better crumpled up and half-folded. As I took in your disheveled hair and wrinkled tee shirt, I said goodbye. I never really took my body out from under your fingers, and maybe that's why my chest bruised when you left, And all I could do was fold my sweater.

Its funny how your words hurt more when your not speaking them. Its funny how you blame me for the action when you continued it. Its funny how you leave, then get mad at me for being distant. Its funny how much you hurt me. Its funny how much I take. Its funny how much I blame on myself Ita funny how i still love you Its funny how neither one of us can tell who's worse This acctualy is not funny at all Because I just lost my best friend. Amd im never getting her back. And she will never Accept my apology But i am sorry. All i ever wanted to do, was help, I promise, Im so sorry So leave me Alone And let me cry.

like a walk of shame except i'm beautiful and proud and the fall weather got here last night unpacked it's bags but forgot to paint the leaves and i'm walking and there's nothing shameful about anything i did and alleyways look beautiful too in their own way and i'll skip breakfast because i'm still drunk and i'm still in love and my shadow looks a bit taller than i do i left my underwear behind lace crumbled in the floor REMEMBER ME i stole somebody's mcdonald's and ate it in the street corner did i leave my cardigan at yours? see you tomorrow making latte art hungover in some beautiful knock off paris store and i asked you, politely, to leave the mess outside and you never saw that butterfly temporary tattoo on my chest everything is temporary because you didn't even bother to get me undressed but you left your mark on my neck thanks for that just know you're not the only one who i made eyes with last night i kissed a few on the lips you aren't the only boy who fancied in my *** perfume at least you walked me home it was five am but at least you walked me home and your dorm room wasn't big enough for how wide my legs were but this dress was tight and you bruised my thigh or that might've been the other boy who threw me into the dark corner and i fell to the floor as he fell into me but my hair is long enough to cover this hickey and i'll take a sip of your coke and whiskey i listen to that boys song and laugh on my way to work and the shins are playing in starbucks and i wouldn't mind if just for a second i could pretend to die
