Death-Bed
Scratch away, keep on scratching away
Claw until your nails turn to rubbish and sorry attempts
Try to crawl out of the walls that are closing in
Let the beds of your nails turn into your resting place.
There are no flowers for you.
No mourning, no arrangements
Ring the doorbell, let yourself wait for death
But there is no answer
There was never an answer
One day you’ll realize
And you’ll stop digging too.
Claw until your nails turn to rubbish and sorry attempts
Try to crawl out of the walls that are closing in
Let the beds of your nails turn into your resting place.
There are no flowers for you.
No mourning, no arrangements
Ring the doorbell, let yourself wait for death
But there is no answer
There was never an answer
One day you’ll realize
And you’ll stop digging too.

I miss you.
Nights are cold when you’re alone
But while you’re here
Everything gets a little hotter
The sun burns brighter
I squint my eyes
My heart beats faster
Putting it into overdrive
My cigarettes burn faster
My vape coil gets hotter
Even my weed seems to last a little less
But pay no matter, you’re my real drug
But when you’re not here, I replicate your warmth
I turn the shower knob
Hot water scalding my skin
All over me
But it feels like you
I miss your warmth
Social distance turned to...
But while you’re here
Everything gets a little hotter
The sun burns brighter
I squint my eyes
My heart beats faster
Putting it into overdrive
My cigarettes burn faster
My vape coil gets hotter
Even my weed seems to last a little less
But pay no matter, you’re my real drug
But when you’re not here, I replicate your warmth
I turn the shower knob
Hot water scalding my skin
All over me
But it feels like you

Confession
To my mother.
Mummum, I’m sorry
For the disrespect
But I am your daughter, after all
What did you actually expect?
I’ve betrayed your trust,
Turned the metal to rust
But I’ll find a way
To get out of here someday
I won’t make dad mad, and I won’t make you sad
I’m moving away
Shouldn’t you be glad?
No more fuss, no more cuts
I’ll be leaving soon
But for now
I’m sorry.
Don’t worry, mother
I’ll finally graduate, get out of your hair
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll no...
Mummum, I’m sorry

But I am your daughter, after all
What did you actually expect?
I’ve betrayed your trust,

I won’t make dad mad, and I won’t make you sad
I’m moving away
Shouldn’t you be glad?
No more fuss, no more cuts

But for now
I’m sorry.
Don’t worry, mother
I’ll finally graduate, get out of your hair
When you wake up in the morning
I’ll no...

Dandelions in Spring
A dandelion to my lips
for every time I told you
-to blow me.
Feathery petals in the wind
for every time my words
Flown past your skull.
You give me sniffles and watery eyes
Like allergies within the air
For every single fucking time
You said you really cared.
Amidst summer or spring
The tension we bring
flickers like fireflies.
Charmingly captive,
Emotionally reactive...
For every time you say you love me
Another dandelion dies.
for every time I told you
-to blow me.
Feathery petals in the wind
for every time my words
Flown past your skull.
You give me sniffles and watery eyes
Like allergies within the air
For every single fucking time
You said you really cared.
Amidst summer or spring
The tension we bring
flickers like fireflies.
Charmingly captive,
Emotionally reactive...
For every time you say you love me
Another dandelion dies.

Infatuation
I’m intoxicated with pure infatuation. It’s something I love, but loathe.
I'm still in love with you. It's something I can't fake, can't hide.
I catch myself staring at you, noticing things that I haven't seemed to pay attention to for the entirety that you have been in my life.
Even though I’m staring, you never seem to hold my gaze. I have to remember your eye colour from photos and just plain memories, because you hardly ever look at me anymore.
They were brown. Brown like the old tree we used to hover under and stare at the flames. I would watch the...

Red Ribbon
I beg of you
Tie the string
around my finger
Let me pretend
to love you
forever.

Succinctly Sweet.
I miss your touch
Your flesh
and bone
I miss the way
you remind me of home.

Comatose
The value is low, practically worthless.
Cheaper than the drugs you cram in your system;
Yeah it hurts, but it feels like home.
Fuck it, you feel like home to me;
but I’m smart enough to know that it’s not the shelter I need.
But baby, you know that I crave it.
So bad.
I crave warmth because you know my heart is forever cold.
I loved and I loved hard,
because I couldn’t tell if it was codependency—
Or if I just couldn’t stand feeling empty.
I crave it, treat it like it’s morphine,
Because you’re my painkiller.
Shove...

The Garden of Eden
It’s winter time, but I’m outside
Fingernails caked in soil,
Cheeks flushed with exhaustion
I’m growing a garden, as you can see.
One day it will be filled with life
Flowers will bloom with an awe-inspiring arrangement of colours
Sunlight will come again!
But for now, it’s and gloomy
And the seeds won’t sprout.
So I swallow the seeds as if they’re pills
Watching the snow around me melt away
Blades of grass poke out and peer at me
Except the grass is just a mattress
The soil caked under my nails is just a part...
Fingernails caked in soil,
Cheeks flushed with exhaustion
I’m growing a garden, as you can see.
One day it will be filled with life
Flowers will bloom with an awe-inspiring arrangement of colours
Sunlight will come again!
But for now, it’s and gloomy
And the seeds won’t sprout.
So I swallow the seeds as if they’re pills
Watching the snow around me melt away
Blades of grass poke out and peer at me
Except the grass is just a mattress
The soil caked under my nails is just a part...

A Letter to My Stilettos
Thank you for making me taller,
For enhancing the curvature of my space,
and for drawing attention
away from my face.
Thank you for your siren's song
Stereo blasting, singing so loud
Luring away men (and women) from the largest of crowds.
Thank you for making me feel
as sexy as can be.
Despite the fact
I feel empty.
For enhancing the curvature of my space,
and for drawing attention
away from my face.
Thank you for your siren's song
Stereo blasting, singing so loud
Luring away men (and women) from the largest of crowds.
Thank you for making me feel
as sexy as can be.
Despite the fact
I feel empty.

The Binge and the Purge
Completely consumed
Delicious disorder
I consume thee
Like you devour me.
Food is so fulfilling, when all you feel is empty.
But every reaction bears a consequence.
Cough it up now, no need to fuss
Pretend you're searching for diamonds
in your esophagus.
Once again it's over,
and I feel empty and rough
After all that I've done-
Is it ever enough?

The Night She Went to Space
Her eyes flutter
Like a camera shutter
Capturing her moment
in the back of her mind
She's the flair for her own dramatic
Her mother's result
of something traumatic.
Her thoughts are like static
scattered like stars
As she plucks the stitches
from each and every scar.
Her tongue is tied
by a handful of lies
'Cause times have been tough
and she's had enough.
The time has come
She grabs the gun
And mumbles a final farewell.
A bullet to her face
As she blasts off into space
