"abcess" poems
as you walked away, in time
with the settling flakes
your shadow grew small enough to fit
inside a snow-globe,
and so he kept you there
in his display case.
he wore your absence on his face
vacant like a handwritten abcess,
when he shook his head, there were
parts of you that settled behind his eyes
and he looked like a blind man,
lost in his own house.
there was fear tucked into his lips.
what didn’t turn white turned red
what didn’t bleed, break or bruise
gave up on the universe entirely
and dissolved into molecule,
he was nothing without you.
his mouth was an empty room.
he shut us out like a shadow
the light was kept away
and on the last day
that we still knew him,
we found icicles under his bed,
the showerhead frosted shut,
his room smelled like shivers
and dust.
*every inch of his heart was silent
every song on his skin was burnt*
we buried him in the sun
it was the only thing we had left
to give.

Noiselessly, the world has begun to defect.
From it chaos flows like blood trailing an abcess,
the poison itself long since passed.
Ash and flowering flame.
The sinking of an eyelid like a blue vault sleeplesness
sits with folded arms.
Peeling words from the walls,
This obsession runs deep untill the desire itself is broken and wasted.
The sistine eye , the twisting thigh.
If dead skin says nothing, than it cannot lie...

I'm so ******* bitter
And it's festering like an abcess
And I must express it
I'm so ******* bitter
Because you made a promise
Got me to believe again
That love was vibrant and worth
Giving one more try
You Painted me a picture of forever
And left me with a tragic water damaged
Oil painting that I can never
Forget
The colors blending together
And now they're an amalgamation
Of greys and blacks
And now I can't remember
When they were something beautiful
I'm so ******* bitter
Because as soon as I needed you
The one time I really needed you
You decided you'd rather forever
Be never
I'm so ******* bitter
Because of you
