#sickly
I stand in front of you, stunt, sickly. My eyes are rayless, my skin is weakly. No sign of joy or peg to life. I'm tangled in whole in a net of lies. I don't cry, but tears are all around. It's like a life circle for me is shut down. I don't scream - no strength, no strife. It's like a mouse has gnawed of all my life. I stand in front of you, disheveled. I'm like a book, thumbed through, bedevilled. And there's no use or purpose in it. Her place is on the far shelf indeed. I stand in front of you as I am right now. Don't drive me away from you, put up with somehow. I've no strength, no faith, no meaning, no purpose. Leave me a pinch of love at least, with no pose.

Leave me a pinch of love
Withering skin shrivels onto hugging ribs, Tighter and tighter, the flesh grows. No meat between the bones, Nor weeping upon this humble abode, Just a silence that continues to grow.

Bony Knees
a madwoman's bra fit entirely a flaw as a greenbrier there she needn't to true but to her on this roof by the stream then on the way with her wickedness in boots as she reverberates mountains upon her stockings and lively spirit exhibited by taut *** and misnomer of any malcontented rap

a bra
Your body tenses Someone is behind you Stalking your every move You feel squeamish So you look behind you Quickly But there is nothing there. You sigh knowing That it was something out of Your sick twisted fantasy However your mind races Because you feel something brush against your throat You feel the sticky Liquid slowly slide From your neck As you slowly die You realize That it what killed you Wasn't human It was your paranoia.

Paranoia
When the dew on the grass Feels like the little blades are licking you But you know it's just water And Mosquitos cloud around you Like blood hounds When the sun shines on a clear blue sky Everything's so bright Too bright Because it's winter and the snow is blinding Like disharmony in sour chromatic feelings When a candy apply turns rotten Because all the candy ran out And now it's just the under-ripened apple CRUNCH! There goes a tooth. ... When love happens.

The Least Good Thing on a Sunny Afternoon
These copper wires that hang from my head, heat up so quickly, my mind is so sickly. Can't be cooled until you've poured water over of my head, that leaves me drenched only to be dried up again. This slight evaporation. Oh what this head has done to me.

Copper Wires
you were just a teen but i was less than that i was so confused on how to act i looked at you and your long blonde hair and somehow found myself in there. your confusion left me feeling sure your hand in mine, i felt secure and I know it must’ve hurt that all people wanted was more more more and- i know you never needed anyone after you lost your drug but when a relationship dies, death still can’t conquer love and love was all around you but you purposely sought out hate inhaled it down, held it in, and for once, i couldn’t relate i watched you plan your fate through your destruction and watched you spiral and when i went to pull you out you let out this sickly smile as if begging me to let you be convincing yourself this was your destiny as if pain in these doses was keeping you alive who was this person i saw inside? and all those times you attacked me with your eyes and all those times you had me stuck in your lines you were just ******* with our minds cuz you enjoyed this maniacal ride i still would reach for your hand to bring you back, it was always my plan but with walls so thick and made of stone to save you, i learned, i had to leave you alone.
