You used to be my
cup of coffee,
But I drink tea now.

i'm standing on the science
of leaving without a reason
with every inhalation expelling
from my lungs, i'm learning,
closure is simply cliché and it's possible
i crave knowing that from time to time,
i strike your thoughts like a brightening
bolt, shoving your memory in front of you
like an eviction notice nailed to your front door,
like you didn't have a chance to explain yourself,
like you never will
maybe the decision to never again open
your messages was unjust, but was it a decision, or
did it just happen, the way i never again
opened another bible
the way i refrain from saying your name
or thinking of how you said mine
the trees outside my window are shaking
with the same vigor you bled when
you said that you'd change
the thunder that vibrates this house
screams at me, making up for when
i left you without a sound
the roads are flooding with the amount
of times i questioned my love for you,
i dont think i ever do
Your god is forged from wolves,  
dressed as men, with hungry eyes.
The day I watched them feast is when I turned my back on
god.

When a voice whispered in the emptiness, "Let there be light.",
an echo murmured back,
"Let there be darkness."
Eyes wide shut can't tell the difference.

I spray ashes from my lungs
left by cities which you've burned;
refuse your pious nature
and praise you never earned.

Somewhere deep in hiding,
the light will wait in patience,
while you drown the world in darkness
with the evil you created.
So there's a new kid in the classroom
and the other kids all stare
as he comes and sits right next to me
"Why's he sitting there?"
He's not your average schoolboy
he has the darkest stare
that threatens all who see it
thundering through his messed up hair.
He glares at all the others
as his choice they mock with glee
the pretty ones all clucking
as to why he would choose me.
But here he sits, unmoving
solid stone with stormy eyes
while I control my longing
for his hand upon my thigh.
He really is quite dreamy
in his own peculiar way
so I'm scribbling in my notebook
trying to find words to say.
Now he's staring at my notebook
I'm exposed, I want to die
as he reads these words I'm writing
and puts his hand upon my thigh!!!
i feel hurt
i feel sad
i feel like this is so easy for you
i feel like you never gave a **** about me
i feel like this is unfair
i feel like if anyone should be walking away its me
i feel like the only thing i really want is for us to be happy together again, but then again i want you to be happy too
i feel scared
i feel like you will never miss me like i miss you
i feel disappointed
i feel unappreciated
i feel so **** sad
i feel numb inside
i feel nothing
nothing at all
im trying not to be some emotional wreck but im just so **** frustrated because i had no say in this and i feel so betrayed that you didnt stick around long enough to actually let me know you care. it feels. like ****.

Sag
They say everyone has a chance
for eternal life if they accept Him.
They say "the blood of Christ will
make hearts white and cleanse them."
What about the girl whose heart beats
for another girl under her sheets?
Or the boy who was born in sin
lusting over and loving men?
Who makes those sinners well?
If love condemns me to Hell
then I want no part in this holy land
because I only feel heaven when I'm holding her hand.
And if that's wrong
then I don't want to be right
because her blood will cleanse me
and make my heart light.
So call me Judas Iscariot
or nail me to a cross
But love is a battle I've fought and fought
And I won't take this loss.
