the love to give

maybe I am not who I thought I am what if I’m just a fiend desperate for thrill a predator who strikes just to see the kill struggle for air in the waning moments what if I’m no better than my father itching to feel something child abuse stripped me of nerves so I don’t […]

alien or old school

Love With Fire

We love with fire When it rains, the drops burn Before they even touch the scorched earth Your eyes opened are Sauron And I’m rooting through your earth You’re searching, I’m falling The ring was forged When you placed your hands on my neck And told me to never stop We love with pain Deserted […]

Hypocrisy

the fumes stalled within the bones evergreen trees turn brown in dismay the sea parts just to get away and the sky shuts away the sun if only it could kill them and leave me instead, photosynthesis fuels my enemies why is every breath a punctured lung spilling blood on the whimpering ground each blink […]

Stop Wishing

a new world is not a planet in a new galaxy within the fingertip of a new universe my new world is one where you stop wishing for tomorrow and lay in the grass beneath the sun’s endless rays far away from civilization and say, “I could live like this forever”

Don’t Call Me

Don’t call me strong; cracked glass eyes Shatter into a stream of blood Tears fill the creek where we swam There was a time long ago, before the shade And shallow, I’d listen to you talk Glide on the tips of maple The water, the water, always more crystal Tomorrow Love echoed through the trees […]

Loathing

They say I don’t have many friends Because I’m weird Too odd to be included with us And though outsiders hardly put up a fuss To find out the source of grotesque hate Every time someone tries to stand for truth They’re shoved a heaping pile of revenge And told to eat hastily from a […]

Listening

Right corner of my eye There goes the lighting, the purple, striking There goes the light Of my life Tragically, I never thought she’d be with me Because I never thought I could last long With someone not named myself, I’m all I’ve ever had, and she, she’s had friends Take my family away from […]

Love Fails

We are the reason love fails. We are the reason love dies. We are the reason love shatters our hands, riddles our heads, and ruins our hearts. We are the reason we reason ourselves to be unlovable. We are the reason we reason the ones who catch our eyes to be weak. Whenever they don’t […]
