You
You are the words on the tip of my tongue,
The ink on the ends of my fingers.

You are the
Beat--
Beat---
Beat-
Of my heart.

You are the fire in my throat,
And the steadfast in my stare.

You are the the ice on my wrists
And the soul that I miss.

You are the whole reason,
You are my only season.

You are the burn in my eyes.
You are the truth to all the lies.

You are the space in my brittle heart that never cracked,
You are the wings on my back,
You are the ground beneath my feet.
You are just everything,
Everything to me.

Useless
Almost like delectable candy,
all people are unique.
There will always
be preferences,
tastes...
Just know,
that someone out there
loves your flavor.

Never skirt the truth
If I had not learnt from the past
This feeling would not have come to me so fast
I contemplate desires as my anxiety kicks in
The night seems lonely
How do I cope within
Almost imperceptible but so evident
Never skirt the truth
Eventually it becomes an impediment
You deserve something real
Something luminescent someone who makes you feel incandescent
Never skirt the truth
I can feel it in my bones
My intuition is what keeps me grown
I am not a fool to the unknown

Firsts of the night:
Handcuffs
Backsass scruff
Back of a paddywagon
Band of boys
But before
All this
4 outfit tries
Opinions of three
Butterfly pre potion
Then
Long hair and ripped jeans
House party
Warm smiles with new faces
Tittering across a stage
Teasing a held gaze
Before
Judgement in blue
Drunk remembrance
A Mugshot sentence
Social network presence
New name infamy
Self loathing
Backtrack scruff
Pins and needles
Sleeping pill sequel
Leads up
To a new year repeal
At the altar I kneel
For a self forgiven
A better year to live in

Over thinking
Heavy drinking

Under eating
Always repeating

Over stressed
Very depressed

Under weight
Slow heart rate
Maybe she makes you feel better when you embrace her essence, maybe that is why you storm in and out of my presence. We spent every day together through summer heat and leaves in the fall, winter comes and I'm left with vague answers and no phone call. The streets at night is where you ponder, high off her love as I lay in bed and wonder... will you come around when the day comes and I finally birth your only son? Or will you still be on the run? You claim that becoming a father makes you scared but maybe you're distracted by her burnished stare. I come to realize that in your world I have become a minority while she is on the rise to become a priority. Was she really worth quitting your work? Is she enough to make you think our will arrive by a stork? You must be thrilled when her taste is on your tongue, vanish into a world of your own that makes you feel young. It may be this way now but I miss the person who took me out on adventures not the one who smells of smoke and risk his life for a woman who will ruin his face and give him dentures.

Hi
Memories are stored in the attic of my mind,
Yet buried in my heart,
They still show deep in my eyes,
And their voices still whisper in my ears.

Faces I once knew,
Songs I once heard,
Paths I once walked,
And animals I once held.

It’s all a memory now,
I’ve been torn away,
She knows I wanna go back,
Although won’t let me go.

Days now pass just sitting in my room,
When I could be running through fields of corn,
Fishing from the lake,
And riding my bike down dirt trails.

Once in my grandma’s arms,
Being rocked back and forth,
Everything around us humming an enchanting tune,
I didn’t know I would truly miss it till I was gone...

Those moments are now just memories,
How I wish they won’t ever leave me,
I don’t wanna be left alone,
I feel lonely even with a million people.

I try not to cry,
Because when I do people laugh,
I try not to feel hurt,
Because when I am people just hurt me more.

I dream about the days I was there,
I dream about the days I will be there,
I dream about my home,
I dream about my memories.

I have so much to say,
Although, I don’t know how to,
I have so many feelings,
But I just can’t show them.

I’ve held up a mask for so long,
My arms are getting tired,
I’ve gotten so used to it, it’s no longer there.
It seems to stay automatically.

So be careful,
I’m a porcelain doll,
Who’s been dropped to many times,
I may be glued back together, but I’m still fragile.

I don’t care what people say,
I don’t care how they feel,
I don’t care what they think,
I don’t care what they do.

I’ll go back home,
Back where memories were made,
Back where the love is,
Back where I can’t feel hurt.
I want to go home, and it hurts so bad, I can literally feel my heart aching but I try not to let others know because then they call me a crybaby.
spoken illiteracy through twisted tongues
asinine anticipation within myself
synthesizes her through her sides
sends shockwaves to her chest

hit the floor, screeching adore
offbeat stomps, sync my heart
feeling the beat
singing in my head
clapping away my dreams
welcoming the imp
crimp! crimp! shrimpy swine
electricity without a touch

smells like flickers
eat the blood, sprawled out in awe!
it's wonderful, it's faint
sticking to my tongue like spoiled paint

I watch
As the world
Falls around me

I hear
The cries
Of the broken

I know
The world
Doesn't mind the hurt

I touch
My friend's hand
As we both stand our ground

And they know
That me and my best friend
Won't ever fall

If only
You had a best friend like mine
Them maybe you would never cry
Please stop crying
