#strungout - Hello Poetry

Strung out nicotine fingers test the water, pointing the desert. counter melodies rot in graveyards of tone. a face the shape of a rock beat water forth with a stick. a face that would stutteringly part a sea. he dreamed the burning bush got wisdom from the mountain. diminished chords when the tablet broke.

Moss, the stutterer

Strung out nicotine fingers test the water, pointing the desert. counter melodies rot in graveyards of tone. a face the shape of a rock beat water forth with a stick. a face that would stutteringly part a sea. he dreamed the burning bush got wisdom from the mountain. diminished chords when the tablet broke.

No one ever plans on getting addicted *It's just for ***** and gigs in the summer* Until your Time derails and redefines horrific now presenting: Time, Version 10-50 and she's prolifically sadistic Oh & never forsake: Time's strung out alongside you, ***Every. Single. Hit.*** And she's one haphazardly twisted tantalizingly commited mistress --Also, it seems we were just now informed that it's way past Christmas. Now a hot mess, forlorn & seditious Not to mention royally ****** by Mistress Time, still for sure a 10-50 in progress Needless to tell you, we contradicted our predictions Now Mistress Time's throwing an egregious conniption even though I know hearing Self-Inflicted makes for turned cheeks and Alienation, Exigently, if you please I'm in dire need of someone else's Time To assist in the Valediction of this debilitating infliction so innocently called Addiction

Everything about her was dark From her inky black hair to her sharp black nails She was a blown out star, a supernova Darkness oozed from her pores, she was wildly in love with her madness She's always rooting for the dark side Strung out on the idea that her demons would take her home one day

Everything about her was dark From her inky black hair to her sharp black nails She was a blown out star, a supernova Darkness oozed from her pores, she was wildly in love with her madness She's always rooting for the dark side Strung out on the idea that her demons would take her home one day

Driving through these city streets, And it feels just like floating on a Machine cloud. Like I'm high above the Rusted, automated mechanical world, and Somehow softer, warmer than metal. These heavy gears, turning Twisted up and breaking down. Only to be built back into order By bustling, stoic robotics. There is a golden glow to this Streetlight night scene- I can feel it buzzing, a bioluminescence Of evanescent enchantment. It could be magical A never-ending fairytale, but that's Too light, for this reality. Which is that I'm really just **Strung out as **** And society seems too much like one Of my bad dreams. Nightmares will always haunt me, and This doesn't have a happy ending. This world is too real, I long to be removed- D I S T A N C E D . Take me to dreamland So I can stay high forever, And never Come Down.

It Could Be Magical

Driving through these city streets, And it feels just like floating on a Machine cloud. Like I'm high above the Rusted, automated mechanical world, and Somehow softer, warmer than metal.

A B C D F...what defines us? Stupid letters staring at me screen, I never knew a letter could scare me. Why am I so strung out? The little letter gives me anxiety migraines, back aches, sleep deprivation. A is for Acceptable B is for Barely okay C is for Cannot believe how stupid you are! D is for don't bother coming home F is for Failed out of this life. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. Can I do it? Can I do it? Can I do it? I cannot do it. I cannot do it. I cannot do it. Tell me one more time why it is worth it? College? Intellectual? Brilliant? Can I still have that without the perfect little letter? One more night writing this paper. One more Algebra problem. One more History report. My will is breaking. I stay up day and night crying. I forgot how to relax. Thank you to my little letters for forever defining who I am.

I've always said I have the opposite of an addictive personality If I have something I enjoy I lose interest I ruin and quit things intentionally But since you I've realized I'm addicted to a lot of things worst of them being unattached I hated everything I ever defined myself by I would catch and release more than a fisher I was addicted to breaking hearts Addicted to heartbreak Strung out on pain Until you Now you have me recovering And it should hurt but my heart pains only when your away Now I'm just like another recovering addict but I'm still addicted to you And my addiction to heartbreak to pain to unattachment are gone the zealousness for everything I was addicted to is 10 fold but in you You are the worst drug for me but yet your the best high I want to be on you for the rest of my life.
