Poet Introduction
Welcome to my secret poetry book. I've always kept my writing private but recently decided to start sharing with strangers. I'm not very good but I'd greatly appreciate feedback and commendation on my writing. I'm new to this but working very hard.

Untitled 3
We are trying to catch our breath in places that want to drown us
We are trying to find ourselves in places that want to control us

honey
lips like honey and words just as sweet
pull me under to my sugary defeat
breathless whispers bring me to my knees
your whimsical breath brushing against my chest
your tender hands dancing across my prickling flesh making me weak
as your kisses move up to my blushing cheeks
you are roses, you are honey, you are tea,
you are every soft thing in-between
pull me under to my sugary defeat
breathless whispers bring me to my knees
your whimsical breath brushing against my chest
your tender hands dancing across my prickling flesh making me weak
as your kisses move up to my blushing cheeks
you are roses, you are honey, you are tea,
you are every soft thing in-between

What You Deserve
I wanted to write you the poem that i know you deserve even if you don't want to listen
I wrote these words with sincere admiration, anxious fingers, and slight hesitation
I hope you find us between each line and take it as a sign for all that i am offering
you need to know the truth in what you deserve and what I desire to give you
you deserve affection and patience, honesty and devotion
you deserve warm arms to call your home and a soft place to rest your heavy heart
you deserve a compassionate listening ear to help you sort out your...

Last Night
I fell asleep last night with the urge to kiss you
Carelessly and breathlessly
My fingers twined through your hair and us twisted in my sheets
Now I’m left fascinated by the shape of your lips and how well they would mold against mine
Im left with an ache for even just one taste
I’ll dream of your lips and savor each burning kiss
Carelessly and breathlessly
My fingers twined through your hair and us twisted in my sheets
Now I’m left fascinated by the shape of your lips and how well they would mold against mine
Im left with an ache for even just one taste
I’ll dream of your lips and savor each burning kiss

Numb Yourself
Once more she fills her cup with something sticky and blue
Shimmering burning elixir to the brim
Deep breaths
Inhale something numbingly new
Breathe in, choke out
Shakey hands and quivering lungs
Vodka kisses off of stranger’s tongues
Its the rise before the fall
Another brain numbing shot of rum
Dizzying lights and blurring colors
Cold foreign bodies pressed up against hers, grabbing and grinding, always rough hands twisting around her
It’s a controlled confusion, a flow of sustaining hallucinogens
She just wants...
Shimmering burning elixir to the brim
Deep breaths
Inhale something numbingly new
Breathe in, choke out
Shakey hands and quivering lungs
Vodka kisses off of stranger’s tongues
Its the rise before the fall
Another brain numbing shot of rum
Dizzying lights and blurring colors
Cold foreign bodies pressed up against hers, grabbing and grinding, always rough hands twisting around her
It’s a controlled confusion, a flow of sustaining hallucinogens

Moon Dust
I told the sun about your kiss
I told the moon about your lips
I told the stars about the way you move your hips
I whispered into space about how badly I miss your taste
I close my eyes and we danced and we sung
We pranced and we swung
We twirled our way around the milkyway
Through the moon dust I pulled you close
And begged you to stay
But now you’re slipping through my finger tips, drifting farther and farther away to another undiscovered galaxy
Like a lost astronaut losing air, I gasp and try to breathe you in once more
But I choke...

Tattoos Of Life.
trigger warning: this poem does relate to self harm.
Scars are the Tattoos of life
We wear them for all to see
As they bare the all telling stories of our lives
Discoloration twines and winds across our skin, dancing whispers of our faults and sins
So, let them stare as they gawk and peer
They'll never understand what's within,
What's buried deep beneath the marks spread so thin
They see these blemishes and second guess our incisions
Let them jump to their conclusions and accusations
Let their eyes linger as their...

Empty
I'm just another set of empty bones waiting to crack
another pair of hallow eyes sunken and bruised
Sallow and gaunt
Your ghastly finger tips still haunt my aching chest
A Phantom grip fraying my heart
Shadowed Handprints still caress my face
Now I'm stuck in this wasteland
Gray and full of decay
I wondered in deeper following your voice
You took my hand and whispered "you'll be just fine"
But now I'm lost in my head, I'm trying to find you here
Stuck in a rut, withering away, one foot in a grave the other...

I Can't Save You
Nothing you have is ever good enough
You're always on the run
But now I see the cracks in your armor as you try to act so tough
Shattering bravado will only last for so long
I won't be there to keep you safe
I won't be there to keep you sane
Missed phone calls, unread texts
Go run and tell the rest
The damage is done
Bitter words still left on my tongue
Go run, go run back to him
We were on your side
We stood by you
We picked up the shatter pieces and mended you back together ...
You're always on the run

3am
Where are you in the lonely hour of 3am
Are you fucking her
or
Are you thinking of me
Maybe its both, You tell me
Is it all the same?
Lust or lost in thought
Screwing out your brain or letting me drive you insane
Are you fucking her
or
Are you thinking of me
Maybe its both, You tell me
Is it all the same?
Lust or lost in thought
Screwing out your brain or letting me drive you insane

Straylight
The sun came up
the dread sunk in
the loneliness spreads within
the dull ache of longing settles over me as the yearning rips through me
I can still feel you, still taste you
I'm slipping in
I'm lost, I'm lost
I'm dreaming
fluttering lashes and stolen glances but no words said
were dreaming
tattoos clashing, skin on skin
where do I end, where do you begin
I'm not breathing
burning lungs, fighting tongues
your warm weight presses me into the mattress ...

Silence
Why is this silence so heavy
So dark and potent
Weighing down
Anxious venom coursing through my veins
The car doors close in , knees to chest ready to kick
The take over the break over fills the silence
I fumble and they mumble incoherently
Side conversations I have no part in
No invite to a say
Do they remember I'm here, do they even hear me as I muffle my breathing
Nervously picking my finger tips
Anxiously biting my lower lips
My breath quickens
Excluded and omit
I sink lower and lower into the back seat
It been...
