#smother
snowfall in the spring reminds me of you,
always getting in the last word.
silently stealing any warmth i’ve acquired.
what state was i in to ever admire,
the part you played to smother my fire.

knowing you are gone
is a blessing from above
because my wide eyes
are not unlike the others
they shimmer with hope
and naivete like a dove
but that hope, your evil
heart only smothers

smother my mother in my love
kisses to her armor, she can’t feel it
she even resists, but I keep repeating the steps
approach, appreciate, allow
kiss her cheek and bow
I don’t know how much longer I have with her
but I cherish each moment, each pocket of sunshine I savor
my queen, the empress
The shining example of a goddess
I thank god for her, for my family
I am finally understanding

heard the mountaintop
be scraped clear of snow this morning.
some angry man
shouting up the cliffsides
he said:
"take it all and quickly.
before my hands find the strength to close.
take me into the calm
this thin air carries my tears too easily."
he said:
"you were right about my legs
standing for the sake of looking down at you
scared of laying things bare"
he cried
"i was wrong about you
that the words meant something more
and that things get better in the end"------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"that things get better in the end"
smothered in something icywarm

If my breath is worth your word
Then I would forfeit all to live your world
Where the light and dark
are nothing but shades of grey
And your love would smother me
drive me out, push me
Heavily slowly relentlessly
Into my world
Where,
we'd meet again.

A girl singing in a club,
nothing stood out but the dark.
She sang a line that made me smother,
she summed up all of my days throughout
*sometimes wish I'd stayed insde my mother,
never to come out*
and then the piano notes floted in the air
falling softly like dust
melting everything it touched with no care,
my life was on the edge to combust.

please do not smother me
smothering implies force
it implies suppression
aggression
oppression
Or asphyxiation
it is something not being wanted
instead engulf me in your love
let me be immersed in it
cradle me in it
Coddle me
shelter me
let me breathe
So i can appreciate it
and feel it all around me
that makes it so much better
ever so soft
ever so loving
ever so gentle
I understand why you want to smother
i do
but you’re somebody
you’re important
You’re love is important
the best thing you can give along with your time.
It’s valuable,
so you shouldn’t give it if it is not unwanted
even to me
Or at least don’t make it a habit with anyone
you see
because you are too precious
and valuable
and important
but thank you
I do
I appreciate the gesture and the thought.
I do
I want your love but not like that
just not that way
just not by suffocation
I want to be engulfed in it
there’s a difference

We all know the feeling.
When you can feel the words.
When you can feel them begging to be pulled from your mind.
You can feel them straining to be written.
But when the pens starts to move
The words jumble and tumble
Overflowing all at once
Not making an ounce of sense
They beg to be pulled
But when you open the door
They only fall on top of one another
And all they seem to do is smother

The night is old
And my eyes are heavy
Heavy, a puppy held too long.
You’d think I’d sleep. But the door lies open
Staring at me,
The threshold slathered in anxious thoughts
Responsibility, a feather, a mountain
The reminder is onerous and incessant
Inescapable, tied to the wall
Must sleep. Please!

Anger take me somewhere new,
Somewhere I've never been;
It could be to apologize
Or to lose another friend.
'Cause you sure as hell ain't one to me,
You're nothing but a pain;
Anger, hit the road, you ***
May we never meet again.
For Anger makes a fool of me,
Makes me see red in a whole new hue;
Robs me of my logic-mind,
Makes me say what isnt true.
I can't always lock you up,
And stuff you out of sight;
But I can choose
When it's time for you
To be released into the fight.
For you are not my master,
And you are not my friend;
You may burst into flames one day,
But I'll just put you out again.

I wasn't any heavier than half an inch's weight
when I decided Life was just a moment I could waste
a metaphor that shouldn't sound like anything I knew
but humans have a way to pace their feet around The Truth
for even though our bodies keep a record of it all
eternal minds can swallow things at flesh's beck and call
if we so choose to bury our own past within ourselves
we'll have to give account for every coin we try to sell
a silver lining confidence may linger in the world
but in the dark, upon a dream, you'll see your little girl

I'm the thief of your dreams; I've gone and turned them all black.
Everything you wanted for me, everything you hoped I'd be I threw back.
Now you worry and smother me with all of your good intentions,
But I lie to you through my teeth-- even my "truths" are inventions.

Constantly having your face buried in eating food,
To even stop to catch a glimpse of the pain on the faces of those around you

I will never understand the ease with which
People think of themselves rather than others.
They walk over people with a smile on their face
And do not realise just how much they smother.

smothering you.
something I never intended to do
never really something anyone intentionally does
it kinda
sorta
just
happens.
and for that, I am sorry.
I am sorry for the double texts
I am sorry for the endless questions
I am sorry for making you feel like you were being suffocated by my presence
I am sorry for hovering over every detail you refused to share with an empty soul I call mine
I am sorry for causing you to suffer through the life experience of having me to be someone that loves you
I am sorry I smothered you
I am sorry you never smothered me too

Revised version
When we spoke today,
you made me aware,
that you may feeling
smothered
I was hurt by the truth,
and was stung by the pain,
so, I stopped, reflected and
wondered
I thought about us,
how I hoped it would work
but a girl needs to know that she's
treasured
But you don't adore me
or love me to pieces
and I make you feel so
encumbered
It's true what they say
about how actions speak
and you act as if you are
censored
You push me away
when you've had enough
like you're wishing our days were
numbered
Now I'll do what you want
and extinguish our flame,
leaving you to breathe deep in the
blame
