breathe

every day I spend away from you
returns me back to normal
I belong to myself for once

if you're near
everything I've been practicing disappears
I'm yours again

just let me breathe on my own
and set me free
from your controlling grasp
and your unyielding touch
and let me be me

Haunted

I’m not afraid of ghosts
But I don’t like the way things linger
Like laughter
Or cologne
Or the feel of your skin on mine

Sucker

I am-
sugar sweet stuck-
On the idea that something
Is better than nothing

Language Barrier

I am unlearning you
The way I learn Spanish
Repeating your name
Until it sets on my tongue
Like caramel
And I trap it in my throat

Head-On Collision

I am riding in the backseat of Desire
Lust rides shotgun, mocking me
It would be nice to see you
Growing distant in the rear view mirror
But the headlights coming towards us
Are just a bit too bright

I’m tired of asphalt burns

Web of Lies

Mr. Spider
You’ve caught me in your web again
I’m sorry I haven’t learned
From past mistakes

It’s my own fault
That my wings are damaged

I have a passion
For flying into things too fast

Not In My Best Interest

My body rises in opposition
To doing things in my best interest
It craves poison
Jagged rocks
And people who don’t love me back
