Her Fever Dream

eyes close flutter open in a wicked craze then close I am tired of living and why should I love again it is sent but not returned written and spoken but never kept inside lost in translation, there is no confirmation miserable silence and I wonder if I’m wasting my breath on someone who’s blind […]

A Man With No Plan

is it 1999 I feel so new, so broken, so remade I recognize so much and yet so little the same feelings I had for this person I have for nothing icky, like sweat on a blistering July summer forgotten, like change in a nightstand caught between memory and fleeting present bashfully reminiscent of how […]

Stop Putting Out, Give Out

When I stop putting out Will you stop coming back home My body’s more than a tunnel to him But to you, I’m simply a plate You eat your fill, then discard what you hate I hold my weight in my hands, am I ugly He adores my body, each shallow, every curve You hold […]

Before The Sand Falls

I’m a bridge, a causeway to destiny Cause I light the way out the dark No tricks, no games, just answers to the spark I was lost in life, trapped by rebels in a cave Then the light came on, I became Tony Stark Somebody told me “don’t waste it” This life, this breath, this […]

Within

In the darkest night of your world Let your inner light shine through Shattering the bedrock misery of family And the failures to find true friends Despite every stumble, every face plant Time loves you, and lives within you For water is memory, and your tears Remind heaven that you’re still a little girl I […]

If It Were

trying

no woman but I’ve carried children infant dreams, youthful potential reckless if I sleep, potent going on my fifth sleepless night because everything I create with my hands I’ve seen with my third eye everything I love, I was loved by in my own mind I’ve been let down, and I’ve been scarred but blood […]

Falling Short

Sweat on my back attracts Biting bugs, lying amongst the thistles They sense I’m alive? Somebody knows something I don’t Or didn’t Cutting only bleeds you of temporary pain But there’s nothing to ease The immortal struggle Of being seen and yet unseen Loved yet wholly misunderstood Shouldn’t they know who I am? Should I? […]

To Do

Sit me down Close my eyes Let me sigh, let me die No Wait, don’t do that, just Tingle with my conscious Spark the ignition, then light it on fire Let me live and love, then hate myself For ever trying to be with you So sick of being so close, yet so far I’ll […]

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 […]
