As I pondered,word for word ,
Broke it down to it's atomic pieces
Placed a microscope on the trenches of my skin
Questioned each phase , and  layered the meaning of it all , doubted my own existence and truely made a bed of my wonders . Had I truely forgiven myself.Had I killed at the pesticides hidden in my heart . Burnt my own flesh and truely loathed the skin I wore . Had I become the non existence of my worthiness, had I bled words of complete oblivion, chattered out a sea of revaluations only to pay them no mind, was I the question I had constantly asked and fed off the thrill within the answers . Was it over yet? The grief within my breathing extended my lifespan , the envy of those oblivious to the torture of time , Am I stuck ? Am I lost ? Was it ever really mine ?or was I just masticating at the thought of it being true , had I really fallen inlove with you

Things you did
Paige Feb 22
There was this thing  you did
Your lips would twitch before you smile
It made you look so lost so fragile
There was thing you did
Your body a trembling mess
As my hands explored the abyss of your silence
There was this thing you did
Your eyes dilated as we fed off the high of our energies
You my only remedy
There was this thing you did
Unintentionally wooling my clarify into pure desire
And dancing to the sounds of my pure want
For you
For us
There was this thing you did
Watch me spill the glass of my love in your hands
Without warning as you watched it fall right through
All because of those things you do

Human
Paige Sep 2024
Humanity,An opioid of complete destruction
A feeling of complete bliss
Eating at ones flesh
Swollen with bruises
Kissed on with pure desire
Derailing from its inevitable consequence
Feeding off its relentlessness
Wishing, craving and sweetening in the gums of our passions
Stiffened by our willingness
Consent clogging at our throats
We were starved , uneasy and famished by the pureness of our sacrifice
Ripping at our lungs for air
We were clogged by the  fumes of our betrayal.
Elasticated by our flexibility from the truth
We were judgements , hurting at thought of our comfort
Burning for a feeling of pure want
Escapees from the  prison of society
Harmful to the vendors of our mind
Hurting from the remnants of our predecessors
We were generations of desire
Languishing for a reality of pure lust
Clashing our teeth at the books of our times
We were authors printing our devotion
We were poetry
Drugged out by our literacy
Hardened in our eyes
Knowing, yet still lost in the pools of   our thirst
Illicit and impotent to our progression
This poem feels all over the place , but that's how being human feels to me

Time
Paige Nov 2024
I've written essays about how little time life places at your feet
But
Isn't it funny how much time I've wasted
Simply writing about time ?
Paige Aug 2024
I had fallen so undoubtedly inlove with the remnants of you . Kissed at the mere thoughts of you being mine once more . Tortured my own mind into crushing at your memory,and yet salvaging all that I could keep of you . You were gone , many had accepted it but why could I not ? Why was I tearing at my tounge hoping you would hear words I had never spoken to you . Telling you the complexities of my love for you . It was torture simply loving you , bathing my lungs in the smoke from yours . I had known I had loved you but I hated you even more . I had made a room of your beauty, painted it's wall with your sarcasm , lit up the room with your compliments, made a bed of your love , found comfort in your cigarettes, left the window slightly ajar to let you in . Forced myself into your oblivion and finally accepted your existence, withering in the pain of never loving you the same , I yearned , being starved of a fantasy , I made vines of my arms , spat grapes from my teeth , fermented my pride and made a wine for your famished tounge  to lick upon , I had made you drunk for my love , feverish for my touch , reluctant to your reality I had made you mine , but never was I yours , with you I had yearned to be more , to bathe in acceptance and yield off any doubts but you were a man feeding off my young  so it being burnt in my nature how could I trample your pride and lather you walls with rejection. You were a circumstance,a built in fantasy , a book of desires , the embodiment of everything and nothing at all . So word it to me , acknowledge my uneducated being and tell me tales , twist at my oblivion and tell who was I to say no,who was I to perish at your advances , and tell you that you were furthest from the love I seeked , that your touch was bruising to my skin , that I had fallen inlove with a compromise and not a companion. That I had sacrificed the feeling of freedom to be bound by the guilt of my reciprocation, that I was haunted by my lack of mercy to your withering heart , that I knew  to you I was the blood pumping at your heart but to me you were soon to be lover from the past . That I had been feeding off your naivety, that your reluctance to trust clenched at the skin of my lips and sealed a promise in my heart . The I had been crippled with boredom, and forced my being into yours for the pureness of my entertainment. Who was I to tell you ,  what was hidden between the crevices of my smile , who was I to show you the intent within my glistening eyes , who was I to save you from who I truely was ...
This poem , was about finally being loved the way I had loved people but being unable to love them back

Weekly passions
Paige Dec 2024
In the eyes of a
Week
A moment
A connection
And
A conflict
I had had managed to fit
Every part of your love
That would ruin me
And
Before the eyes of our passions dwells
On the nightfall
Of our imperfections
I decided it would be easier
To watch you leave

Finally they see...
Paige Apr 5
When the world is silently crumbling
And your only evidence is the tears
No one gets to see
Your words a silent echo
As your teeth scape against your cheek
Weaponized comfort
Undeserved pleasures of relief
Head down , glory at your feet
A soldier skinning their cheeks at their defeat
A wordless imbecile
So young and a fool of youth
The agony of their days of yore
Burning their lips
Hush! Do not cry!
Dig at your skin
And hide the bruise on your knees
No one gets to see
No one gets to feel
Scrape all that's left of your torment
And leave it at the door
Sadness is foreign in this place
Harm a sullen truth hidden in the blues of the sky
Tears embraced by the sea
Fly! Fly! and you to shall see
But... Do you hear it?
Silenced! Hear blade to skin
A red sea parted
Pleasure finally foaming at the mouth
Breath a euphoria bleeding into existence
She stands! Dancing as the music of her life pushes at her feet
Eyes burning her skin
Wonders of a world so close
Yet so soon to disappear
Eyes everywhere..Eyes on her
Finally! Finally! They see
Crimson, drenched in a smile
The shy thud of her chest
Finally! Finally! SHE'S DEAD

Virgin in highschool
Paige Sep 2024
I had grown so viciously accustomed to the  ignorance hidden within the history of my chrome heart
I had ventured off into palaces of sexuality , learning a new form of expression
I had fed off the uncertainty of acceptance for those of my kind
Those who so innocently learnt of what to do but never with who
I had wondered if the words kissed at my teeth,were to tell the tales of my ***,would people run or would they embrace me with my celibacy
I was 17 many had tried atleast more than a hug
A sweet caress between their thighs as they gave up what I'm so constantly trying to hide
Maybe I had bruised my body so much that I had convinced the uncertainty in my mind that I am still a women
But was I enough of a women to sacrifice my women -hood for a hood I barely even fit into
But I've held the barrel of my virginity and swung it in the eyes of temptation
I have worked hard to build on my purity
But is it even mine

Segwicks , old brown
Paige Feb 1
A calming stretch of existence
Spiralled into an abyss of discomfort
Burnt out by the joy of realisation
Eyes dancing on the horizon
Maybe we are Orphic
Two fleeting souls
Craving the familiarity of scabs between our teeth
Questions
What are you doing to me ?

Lifetime of grief
Paige Dec 2024
It hits you suddenly
Burdens of grief
Piling in a moment of joy
A sad realisation settling in the creases of your smile
Their gone , but life moved on
Within that moment you press at your throat
And hope no one can hear you heaving
No one likes a party pooper afterall
Life moved on , so why haven't you
Suddenly your words feel thick
And a silent cacophony dwells at your feet
No one notices as you leave the party
Life moved on so why would you stay
Then the doors pile in with people pressing the edge of your chin
And you scream
Hoping someone would hear your plea
Please sympathize with me
I'm battling a lifetime of grief

Cancer stones
Paige Dec 2024
As the brittle leaves of our bones
Fell
And words could hardly explain our
Existence
It feverishly fed on our death
But it was alive
So who was there to blame?
And for the first time I prayed
Which was funny
Since I didn't believe in God
And sadly he reminded me that
It should stay that way
This is about cancer , I dont mean to offend aynone

April 21(Grief part 3)
Paige Sep 2024
She was all we had left of him... “was" a sullen reminder of her passing. Soon we would see the self proclamation of those who said they loved her . But only when she was bruised and beaten down . Her son's a brutal reminder of a motherhood she'd rather forget . Soon she'll be forgotten like the rest . They'll wear black and praise her name , reiterate her dance moves and leaving a space just in case , maybe she knew when those promises would subside , when the demons hushed as those around silently watched as she died . Each sentence riddled with past tense , you lost a sister,we lost a mother and a best friend . At some point , I had hated who she was , swore she was everything but human , but as time aged my mind I saw it all, the brokenness of her , but still she stood tall . She giggled through the torture,even tripped on her own words , made humour of her troubles, clashed her teeth to the next, her defiance a sight to relish in , as frail as she became no one could stop her dancing, glistening with pure wonder, she was everything. Worded within the beauty of torture , chaotic and derived from pain , she grew wings , even with blistered feet she flew again , cackling at the wolves baring her teeth at our sympathy, I knew she clawed her lungs for her last breath , broken and barren we still rejoiced in her absence, licking the dregs of our tears , feasting off our grief , we danced through the night .. barely mentioned the reasons for our gatherings , we swore at the stars , praised a God we'd barely believed in , kissed our teeth to class of wine , clogged our lungs with memories, today we danced with acceptance, tomorrow our feet will hurt with reality. Time will  scan our misfortune, conformity dwelling at our feet , we'll sing of your memory, Even though though we know that you're gone
The day of her funeral
Paige Sep 2024
Chaos was evident within her mind . Her words drunk off a poison she had never tasted before . Her own existence was stagnant. The dancefloor riddled with uncertainty, she had lost her groove,only those around barely even noticed . Her spine had switch directions leaving lying flat on the dancefloor, she fumed with anger as she hated the pity within our eye. Though she listened to our music with understanding, since she knew all we did was care , even if that meant till the music ends , soon enough she swayed her hips to the new rhythm she had been dealt, staring into the oblivion of her end . Still anger burnt within her eyes when she stared into mine , forgetting the promise that she made , our faces glistening in gold as we swayed to the new song we shared , acceptance settling within our hearts
But still with our hearts broken , knees cracking ,calves swollen with exhaustion, tears rolling down our faces ,she whispered with such glee, let's have our last dance again
The week before she passed

Skating on a bruised ego , darkened lungs , failed social life, academic failure and lack of relationship status... Overall growing up fucken *****
Paige Oct 2024
There was something hidden within my loneliness
A never ending feeling of settling within the edge of my glory days
I hadn't had a drink in ages
Why was I so complacent
I have broken from my prime
Why am I so concerned
I haven't had a smoke in a while
Why do I smoke
Why
Why am I alive
Why
Why
Why
Such questions without a question mark
I've burdened myself from my younger days
I'm incoherent, indecisive
Why do I care
No body cares
If I ****** at my dignity with parentheses
An overload of unbearable redundancy
My patience has strung its way through my teeth
Why am I failing year 11
Why do my peers smell like sweat
Do I smell like sweat
All these questions without question marks
Have I become a period
The end of every sentence
The after thought hidden within the tortures of teenage hood
I haven't cried in a while
Why
Why
Why .... She whispered in the hollow room she shared with her therapist

Love songs
Paige Nov 2024
My mind can't bare listening to love songs
Without you consuming it's every thought
But maybe that's because my whole existence
is hidden in every melody
My love for you in every verse
Sadly I listen
Knowing your existence isn't in a single chord
I know you don't love me
As much as I wish you would

Ectopic
Paige Nov 2024
Alcohol stains on my shirt
Another died before it's birth
I've become unwilling , unmoving
In my fight of being a women
Some say it happens
Some say your womb was stolen
I walk these streets with the blisters of my agony
Covering my feet
No one telling me which road is the road to healing
My body still perceives itself
As a womb bearing a fruit of new beginnings
What have I done
Is it my fault
Maybe I should stop drinking
Though my heart eases at the sounds of the feathers I plucked from my own fur
They are fighting, weeping and my daughter is singing
But with it all , my heart lays in my hands
As I wonder how the world would've molded you
If you had just kept living
Recently my mom experienced an ectopic pregnancy, I wish I could help her but I don't know how too

We just couldn't work
Paige Mar 7
We grew desperate to feel something
Pacified our insecurities to feel nothing
Walked on the dirt of our desire
Burnt the uncertainty to a simple late night text
Swore we were holding onto our impurities
And fed each other our brokenness
Held pen vein
As we swore we were poets
And painted the walls with our ink
Fled the dusk
To dawn in the dawn of our indecisiveness
Walked on broken shells
Just to fall at the cathedral of our love
Words unmatched
Palaces of misfortune
Clung onto the shreds of virtue
Yet inevitably broke at a crossroads

Writers block

My pen broke
Between my fingers
And before I knew it
Words came to difficult
Hardly a thing known to man
I had lost my worth between the creases of my page
I have never felt this before

Why can I not write
When my heart yearns for nothing more

My first
Paige Feb 3
If you were to ask me how I'd imagined my first , I'd say with a person I love , but I've read too many books to spare you the exception, instead id say

I want it to feel like a whisper
A gentle caress as teeth graze against my skin
Words dancing at my lips but all that is heard is a moan
I'd want it to torture the corners of my mind
As I am struck by this feeling of pure bliss
No don't rush me
This is my first
Id want it to feel like the bending of the breeze against the surface of an ocean
As my currents  split
And I am finally theirs
Id want it to feel like a rush of fresh air
As my spine twists within the horizon
Stars disappearing within my eyes
As my sighs are silenced by the dawn
I'd want it to feel like my first step
An uncertainty tainting my innocence
As their hands dig into my skin
Thoughts of our future hidden within the tint of our cheeks
As we hardly knew what we were doing
Even with it all
I'd want it to feel like we're in love
But we share an underlying hatred
For finally giving into something we'd know would destroy us
Like I've sworn at the stars I have read to many books
But still I'd want it to feel like a bath of cold water
As the coolness stings at my *******
And all I can depend on is our air
I'd want it to feel like fresh candle wax
As their fingers dig into my airway
And all that's left of me is all that I am in front of them
I'd want it to feel like a scene from a French movie
Temptations dancing on the tips of our tongues
As they shade every part of my skin
With their undying desire
I'd want it to feel like a poem
That searches every hidden meaning within my pleasurable sighs
As they give a whole knew meaning
To read me like a book
I'd want it to feel like a bare canvas
Waiting to smother our torture
As we paint its walls with our lust
And fear the pressure building in our cores
Id want it to feel like my body had known no pain
As we get lost in the abyss of our human nature
But all I can say is ,
Fear consumes my heart
That what if my first
Ends with me not telling love and lust apart
Sorry this feels Sooo long

Weekend friend
Paige Mar 16
And there it was again
That feeling that I'm completely wasting my life away
No saving grace
No cathedral to lay to waste
Burning in my loneliness
But it's Sunday
Tomorrow I will exist
In those walls I despise
Feeding on the knowledge of those who died
But Tommorow I will exist in the hands of a friendship
I know will dissolve  when the weekend dawns into existence
Paige Jan 18
I had gained weight
Packed a few KGS in the wrong places
Dresses looked too sloppy
Jeans barely passed my thighs
I hated water , only GOD knows why
My feet were to small
My waist the wrong size
Trust me I'm not insecure
But I'm also non the wise
My face has betrayed me in every aspect of the word
I think acne and I are good friends,but maybe I should burn the edges of our friendship and let her go
Luckily I love my nose
But what else is there to keep
Trust me I'm not insecure
But it's all the same to me
Paige Jan 18
And suddenly
...
You stumbled back into the barren field you once called home
Sat on your side of the bed
And threw your socks across the room
Told me tales of where you've been
And I listened , whilst straining at my teeth
Fighting the urge to cuss you out
The words fly right out of my mouth before my mind could brace you for the fall
"I don't remember letting you in"

Fallen Angel
Paige Feb 14
Quenched at the wonders of your realm
Feathers crips on your chin
A chest heaving tortures of its time
Words hither from within
Doom fitted in your shoes
A harsh caress of sunlight on her back
Everlasting yet so quick to disappear
Promises shifting through your crooked teeth
Flesh dancing at the back seat of your Bentley
Hardened strokes of innocence  fading from existence
A fleeting being of chaos
Adorned by whispers of paradise
Pretty compliments coarsing your parched throat
Womanhood softening your calloused hands
Pleasure twisting within the veins
Fallen , we have fallen from grace
Reincarnation of a bliss to horrid to taint with our mortality
We were angels eager to break our chain and fall from heaven
Fortunate to have met
Yet Sinking in the disdain of our departure
I'm sure we'll meet again
By heaven
By hell
Or thy holy father
Or the strained curse of Lucifer's misfortune
Taken with two stones and one rock
A mouthful of prayer and eternities of sin
Joyous at the righteousness
Eager to bend the spine of his word
Fortune gracing her bust
Solitude wrapped around her neck
Fresh berries crushed between her breath
A sigh of content
Silence speaking in the presence of the Lord
Grace reaching its final peak
Snatched! Taken before recieved
Eyes pooling at the edge of their carnal nature
No deserves such holy pleasure
Says the devil to the fallen angel

This feeling I despise
Paige Jan 24
It was this feeling
That kept me from the bounds of love

Pick up the phone
He called
I called back ...
No one answered

A good morning text sinking on the verge of our last conversation

You abandoned me
Left me to die
In the needles of my own mind

But

You texted back
Gave me a view of why hour heart had chosen Mine
To its own accord

It's this feeling I despise

The questions dancing at the heel of my feet
Tripping me
Be careful , here's when I fall on my face

It's this feeling I despise

Walking into a home
Whose lock has never been changed
And many have walked through its dulled out edges

It's this feeling I despise
The feeling of actually being in love with you
Not now , yesterday, tomorrow or today
But again?

— The End —
