Dear God
Strike me with
Lightning
Instead of love
Let electricity
Course through my veins
And seal them with
Kisses.
Then no fear
Pain
Or love
Can cut me open
And destroy me.

*You light up
Like a cigarette
I want to breathe you in
And have you burn my throat
To wiggle your way into my lungs
And rip them apart
Take my breath away
And replace it with smoke
Poison my body
With this cancer
Stain my teeth
And fingertips
A faint yellow
So I can remember the sun
And forget about my maroon veins
That run sideways
Like the horizon
On the vertical roads
Of my arms and legs.*

This is it.
The end of us.
We can't ever be.
I realize that now.
We were built for night and now it is the breaking of day.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
I'd do anything to delay this terrible
Horrible
Terrifying
Heartbreaking
Beautiful
Sunrise.

Call me
old fashioned
But knives are for
cutting boards
And exposed thighs are for
Self-loathing

Choose me, Use me
*I love the way you
Bruise me.*
Shake me, Wake me
*I love the way you
Break me.*
**See me, Squeeze me
But dear god**
*Don't you dare
Leave me.*
**I breathe you
I need you**
I can't survive without you.
Kiss me, Hit me
*But never ever
Miss me.*
Choose me, Use me
*I love the way you
Abuse me.*

*And then I realized
That we cut ourselves open
Not to release the pain
But to release the beauty
The beauty that we can't see in ourselves
So we go looking deep inside
Seeking happiness
Yet all we find is that we are blind
We cannot see the beauty
Without the looking glass
That we all assume someone else has
But alas
People all around us have pieces
Some return their share
Having taken good care of it
But others don't return it at all
Thus the hollowness we feel
And the need to go searching
What we don't know
Is that the people who care
Will give you pieces of theirs
And in turn
Create an impenetrable bond of love
And trust
That when they need it most
You will do as they have done
And help them see the beauty they have been blind to.*

Cheers to us
The sad and lonely
Drinking beers
At a truck stop
Cheers to us
The broke and broken
Shooting white powder
Into our veins
Cheers to us
The sick and disturbed
Cutting our bodies open
To find liquid rubies
That makes the pain
Stop.

And she put
Dandelions
In her hair
Instead of daisies
Because there is nothing
More pure
Than a beautiful blossom
Reaped
From horrid imperfections.

And after you told me I wasn't as beautiful
I was terrified
All I saw in the mirror was a monster
A horribly ugly monster
I couldn't let anyone love me
I couldn't let myself feel beautiful
Because you,
*The one I was ready to give everything to,*
Didn't want me anymore.
So I hid
And old habits came back with vengeance.

You came into the bathroom
And took the blade from my hands
You left me in shock
And returned with the
Mickey Mouse band aids
And a box of tissues.
You turned on the faucet
And as the water turned red
You just stared at me
You bandaged me up
And you stared again
Until I started telling you
The whole story
And when I was done
You just stared
And then you did something extraordinary.
You started to cry.

Dear friend,
You are somewhat new
But I already like this
This feeling of being normal
This feeling of being happy
These are the feelings you bring.
I take your things because
They are small reminders
Of what it's like to be content
And unfortunately
I fear that one day
I'll fall in love
But I know that you'll
Help me up
Disinfect my cuts
Bandage my broken body
And send me on my way
Until then,
*Love always
CsR*

And
just
as
your
eyes
were
blurred
by
your
judgement
the
lights
were
blurred
by
my
tears
*and
the
true
beauty
of
us
both
was
never
to
be
heard
of
again.*

I've fallen in love with those green eyes
I could spend hours wandering through them
Dark, with flecks of gold and brown
Those green eyes like a forest
Sunlight breaking through the branches
Hitting the leaves to show their brilliance
Showering the trunks to show their softness
Those eyes show me everything
Your past, present, and future
All of the love and happiness
Pain and sadness
They used to watch me, curious and caring
But now they've moved on and as they do
I'll always remember
Those gorgeous green eyes.

You're a good liar.
Really you are.
You act like you care,
Like I am actually important to you,
But there are flaws in your pathetic calumny.
I can see the way you watch other girls,
The way you want them.
I can hear the slander you tell your friends,
The way you degrade me to impress them.
I can smell the alcohol on your breath,
The perfume of the great time you had without me.
I can feel your hands slipping from my waist,
And up the bottom of her shirt.
I can taste someone else's cherry lip balm,
The deceitful words you've repeated to a hundred girls before me.
But you insist it's all stupid rumors.
You claim they're all lies and slander.
But I know.
I've always known.
And I'm done.

Suddenly I felt like what
I would imagine an infant would
I am helpless
But when I cry
He comforts me
When I sleep
He admires me
When I laugh
His heart swells with joy
I am helpless
But he won't let anything happen to me.

And people stare
At you in your band tees
And me in my polka dots
And they say
How could they be happy
They don't realize
That when you leave
I spend the night in that tee
And listen to that band
And I remember
How you smelled
How you smiled
How you sang
And ran
And kissed me the day
I fell in love with you.

You shot me in the stomach
And not the head.
I thought you'd try to
**** my wishful thoughts,
But you saved me from
The butterflies instead.

My head throbs hard with every heart beat,
Pumping with pressure as I fear defeat.
The pain starts to numb as the moments progress,
My mind rests in silence though severely distressed.
The warzone around forces its cry for battle,
As my weakening body prepares its death rattle.
My arms grow heavy as my legs both tire,
I struggle to stand steady as I slowly expire.
Everyday I'm here, every day's the same,
Everyday it feels like I'm playing a game.
An unfair fight where swords bare no power,
Where an extra life is sour and a moment's an hour.
Another barrage prepares to attack,
Bringing in their gear and cutting no slack.
Choking on my aspirin as my teeth begin to grind,
I clear my throat and say, "next customer in line."

Drip drip drip
**Goes the IV
Into my arm and
Into my brain**
Drip drip drip
**Goes my eyes
Salt water streaks
And my ears ring**
Drip drip drip
**Goes the wrists
Blades colored red
And slits bleeding sadness**
Drip drip drip
**Goes my heart
Screaming profanity
While being ripped open.**
Drip drip drip
**Goes the sky
Pieces polluting the ocean**
As my world falls apart.

I stare out of my window to see the beach
The waves crashing on the shore
The sun reflecting off of the beautiful blue monster
Ominous grey clouds appear
A storm is arising
The leaves are whispering in the wind
They anchor themselves onto their vigilant branches
The incandescence and evanescence of it all is intoxicating
The waves rasping
The wind bellowing
The leaves screaming and
The skies crying out in laceration
I can't stop staring
It comes closer
And closer
And closer
I wake up with a start
I look over and see you sleeping
So worn yet so serene
The storm is hidden and I should be glad
But I can't wait to be submerged in it again
To drown in the storm that is you.

I forgive you
For breaking my heart
I forgive you
For breaking my trust
I forgive you
For all of your wrongdoings
I forgive you when I shouldn't
Because I love you
I need you
Like I need air
So I forgive you
Just please
Please
Stop suffocating me.

All us teens live for
Is crazy Friday nights
Filled with drunken confessions
And *flashing lights
Swingin records*
And fights with our ex
Dancin, liquor
And ***mind boggling ***

Thanks
For making me feel normal again
For talking to me about music
Instead of voices
About movies
Instead of nightmares
About friends
Instead of demons
About books
Instead of the insults
Etched on my hips
And the screams
On my lips
Thanks for
Helping me remember
The good times
And happy rhymes
I owe you one.
Because without you
As my oil
This machine
Couldn't run.

Pictures,
Some of us knows it paints a single word,
Perception,
A creation,
Of an illusion.

Lost within you
Your hair golden like the sun.
I'm lost in the sky during the noon day hour
Your eyes, green like a forest
I'm lost wandering through this maze
Your smile, white like snow
I'm lost in this blizzard, trapped inside your picket fence
Your touch, as warm as a clear summer evening
I'm lost within my own memories of childhood
My heart, filled with so much emotion
I'm lost within my own feelings
How did you do this?
I barely know you
I once had such a clear path and now,
I'm just wandering around, lost.
