heat doesnt make me angry
i make me angry
i can blame it on the sun
and say that
it is an unfamiliar feeling
i dont recognize warmth
i dont recognize sunshine
but bring me cold weather
and i am at home
i am rain
i am gloom
i am storm
i am ice
i am cold
this is my first peom and im scared

i tried giving you the stars
but you still
rained
down
c o m e t s
you rattle my cage
and your heart has slipped
out of my grasp.

it's just a phase,
we kissed, but
it wouldn't last.

my existence is futile
with scars and
rotting stomach lining.
degeneration

i wear the finest threads
made of skin and bones
they came from the stars.
i don't remember what they told me
that night my heart stopped beating

watch the sun rise,
let us live again.
relentlessly loving you,
get out of my mind.
love is dead to me

i had a thousand words to say
but they have melted away
now
i held the blade
tighter than your hand
throw me to the waves,
bury me in the sand.

I have tried to get away from it.
Even tried to avoid it.
All it has done is hurt me.
But then I cave in.
And tried to work with it again.
While realizing love has gotten to me.

Things you seem to avoid.
Just seems to control my mind.
I guess it like life.
We stuck with it to enjoy.
Love is the one thing people don't call a bore.
Today I thought that maybe,
Just maybe,
Today would be the day.
That you’d pick up the phone,
Send me a message,
Tell me that you missed me
And that you’d made a mistake.
I waited and waited,
Hoping that maybe
You’d send the message,
That maybe you missed me.

But maybe tomorrow will be the day.
it seems like a constant cycle of hoping for something that will never happen.
i hope that i flash through your memories,
and you remember my pale skin,
soft like butterfly wings; fragile like glass,
and you remember
the simple curves of my body,
lying beside your side,
on the opposite edge of the bed
listening to the early morning doves.

i wonder if a memory floats through,
and you remember the way my
eyelids fluttered in the warm sun rays,
covered by cold sheets,
protected by warm hands and strong arms.

should you remember the way
the newfound promise ring,
fits upon my skinny finger,
and i hope the wrinkles that
surround the silver,
bring you back to this day,

when we were young.
I wonder,
If you still lift your head,
From whatever held
Your attention,
When you hear my name.
And I wonder,
If you remember
The love we shared,
Until something else,
Grabbed your attention.
The bottom of my dress
ballooning out,
like a doily on the dance floor.

Feeling like a princess
As I held Mommy’s hand.

Twirling me all around,
Like a ballerina let out of
Her jewelry box.

My greatest dance partner,
To the best drummer in the band.
My dad was a drummer for a local band. When I was younger, my mom used to twirl me around in circles in the midst of people on the dance floor while he played. My greatest memory from when they were married.
I live in a cloud filled world
Where only with you,
Do I catch a glimpse of the sun.
This blade I use
As my paint brush,
My arm as my canvas;
Pale and innocent,
Save for scars from another time.

They will be joined,
Together,
In yet another
Beautiful, red painting.

My wrist, the white horizon
In the background.
self harm in the form of cutting.
