Lateral madness

"There is always some madness in love. But there is always some reason in madness" - Nietzsche


I love you,
I - love you?
I
            need you

creatively
eliminating
apathy

my apathy-

because you were here
nothing more, nothing less

and all of the best
moments

in my head linger sweetly,
when I wasn't killing you
and you still fell asleep

soundly.

I wake at 3am
the witching hour-
the bitching hours

I writhe

slick with sweat
and fear
screaming

I love you
I - love you
I
           need you

repetition
repetition
re - pe - tition.

If he could hear me just once
or twice
or a hundred and fifty one times

(though that's not an even number)

I'd tell him he
was the most beautiful thing
I ever had in my life

how at night when my hands
were on fire and my lips
convulsed with poetry

one hour
two hours
three hours

until dawn would face me
and drag me by my hips
where I was a demon
screaming across the skyline

my fingernails boring scars
across a Shepherd's warning

the orange
the pink
the red

your back
my blood
your bed

and all the voices

in
my
head

just






disappeared.

Bullets to the Heart

I hung out my heart to feel your love
So I could test the sweetness of it
They say giving yourself away hurts
And it does...
                             ... It hurts like shit

You hand your lover the gun
Weaponless for a battle not yet won

Ignoring what your mind already knows,
"Here, you take this. I don't need it."
A damn fool you are to let go

Their hand slips
Through the air a bullet rips
Straight through the vitality of you
But you're still stubbornly alive
Still managing to revive

Even though you're damaged

Broken

With wind whistling through the holes
Echoing reminders of those two souls
That merged as one
Loved as one
Hurt as one

Survived as one

*No name*
Turned the shower on too hot again not enough to burn but just enough sting to remind me of you.
It's true I'm flying high and drowning tonight  

And it's grape this time  
but I got the MDMA this time.  

But baby only the promethazine holds me like you do,  
makes me feel low and dumb like you know you do.  
And whenever I roll without you.
I see your smile,your lips  
& I remember to feel high and cum.

Put the radio on too loud again,not enough to to make my eardrums bleed again,just enough shake in the windows to remind me of all those nights we were so high we were screaming  
about the unjust and fake people in the world.  

When your thoughts are reeling  
and that hardness is all your feeling,whose face do you see?  
Am I running my fingers through your hair again  
When your tipsy off that damn cheap whiskey and you think of what can never be is it me you see?  

and you sigh and say  

But baby only the promethazine holds me like you do,  
makes me feel low and dumb like you know you do.  
And whenever I roll without you.
I see your smile,your lips  
& I remember to feel high and cum.

Orange


Orange Heels,
Orange Peels,
I hate orange,I hate the way it feels.
Orange Heals,
Orange Pills..
I hate orange,I hate the way it steals.
Orange eyes,
Orange Lies,
I miss you Orange,I miss the way you kill me.

"Never Quitting"

If I have to live my life I'd rather be the cause of my own demise.
Cause were filled with lies there in us all,everyday is hit & miss just grab the ball.
Except me I tell it like it is,shake a soda to see it fizz.
To live is to choose not to die,but to live doesn't mean you were ever alive.
Left or right the choice is yours it doesn't matter just use that voice.
Cause the sun it burns and if we never learn to step out into the light where people often and willingly sell lies for cheap we could keep the smiles with no need to weep.
So let's all say fuck it,all we got is what's gonna rot.
We have nothing in the end anyway,so get your way.
Be profound before you hit the ground.
Spread it around let everyone have a slice.
If your tired of this vice called life take a leap that's my advice.
Make love,forget names,learn the rules so you can break the game.
We shouldn't care its all the same.
Breathe it in,roll it out,steal a heart that's what its all about,fuck a girl,fuck a million screw the action its about the feeling.
Who gives a shit,make yourself fit.
Stand for it or let it fall.
Do something or not its your call.
Love a man and if he doesn't love you back,no sweat off your sack.
If tomorrows the end this morning was too late,pack your parachute and unlock the gate.
Make it last or forget it came.
All I know is nothing at all.

Eighteen with an attitude

When you think back on me & this,don't forget I never missed.
I got the sunset to my back,a sense of humor I never seem to lack.
Need a cigarette,I might even have a pack.
No I don't smoke,I already choke,I'm just eighteen with my death ahead.
So why not spend my green?
No need to save or behave.
Have faith,will Travel.

(Back to it's original title) Ghost

Where have you gone?  
It's been so long.  
I'm living with your ghost these days and the shadows of the past are starting to fade.  
The whispers are getting quieter as night turns to a new day.  
Sweet words and memories collecting dust as the weather grows cold.  
Everything looks the same,I myself seem to have grown old.
I look to myself for comfort and I remember the look that was once inside your eyes.  
The only sound to pierce the silence are my collective sighs.  
Your were here once,I remember it still today.  
I'm starting to forget it all,as well as to feel anything today.  
Please tell me where you've gone my love,you've been away so very long.
Have you always been a ghost?  
It's been so long Ive forgotten.

Trouble

Long story short
The title could be my name
The pain and death I've seen
Could drive even the purest hearts insane

Destruction
Torture
They seemed fun to me
At the time
A friend opened my eyes when I was 9
I almost died

I watched the world fall
I needed to escape
To someplace safe
My mind was open
My heart was too broken
So I didn't mind

Everyone noticed my black outs
They never said a word about it
I guess it was an act of sympathy

3 years older than me
About "5"6'
Decided to call me weird

Normal
What is normal?
You call me "weird"
You call me "strange"
You're the one that's deranged
If you think you're "normal"

I'm the happy emo psycho
Wanna play a game?
