Who are you,
that likes my poems?
Who adds them to your collections
                                           shares
                                           likes
                                           comments
who are you,
to react to my emotion?

Would you, too,
like the way that I laugh?
Would you collect memories with me
                     share your hopes and dreams
                     like my smile
                     comment on the way I dress
would you, too,
react to my stories of what prompted these words?

Who are you, that reads my poetry?
and if we met,
should you think of me, too, as poetry?
could we be friends?
I told her.
She likes me too.
we're acting like we're six but I don't give a ****
You've got me
going to the river to pray
gotta wash these sins away
but ain't no water gonna wash your hands off me

Yeah, you've got me
down on my knees
begging, begging, begging please
for mercy
take your hands off me

And they can call me a sinner
I've only got one heart
and you ate my soul for dinner
devoured me from the start

Yes, I'm going down
down to the river to pray
but no water gonna take this hold off me

Oh you've got me down on my knees
begging, begging, begging please
someone help me
get your devil out of me

I hear the willows whispering
telling lies all in the wind
and I'm drifting with the current
just let the water take me in

Because this desire
ain't no fire
on my funeral pyre
ain't no water gonna take your hands off me
Lyrics for a song
love
i am love
i am all
i am small
i can feel
this is real
this is all i know
this all
i am old
and i am well off
and i don't know myself
this is all
i can sing
but i can't read you
yeah i don't want to know you
not at all
leave me be
yeah let me see you
for what you really are
not a ghost
of some beauty
that i can't deal with
not for a little while
or at all
night time is for sleeping

thats what i thought

until i met you

then nights slowly turned into more time

to miss you
when I'm alone i feel the loneliness start to creep up on me
its like its hiding there waiting to be free
when the kiss of your lips on my skin is gone
it steps out of the darkness into the dawn
with this fear washing over me
your the only thing i want to see
and when your not around to help
il scream and cry
il call for help
its your body that puts my mind at ease
and your arms around me
i miss the squeeze
of the tight embrace you pull around me
the darkness goes back where i cant see
only when your around
do i feel safe
oh how i love your warm embrace
please love me tenderly
and never let me go
i dont know what id do
if you left me alone
I come home

and there is no one to hold me
I'm cold
When youre feeling safe in your skin
Maybe we'll meet again
Title Fight - Safe in your skin lyrics
Sickness listens to us sigh.
Sniggering snidely as we die.
Seeking our soul as we comply.

But still I live
And yet I am not alive.
I gave you my past

my body

my all

I told you my heart

I pronounced adoration

I  left  you


and you did not reach out.
how masterfully broken you have made me
