i am but a soul that craves validation from others that walk this earth - a soul that doesn't know for what it yearns but oh it yearns so deeply

The Heart
I lie curled up in the chambers of your heart
The soft beats of your life reverb against my skin
When I breath I taste you in the air
it's uncanny, the willingness that I have to throw away my independence when you're around
I think it's because of my slow realization, that while everything ends that shouldn't be a reason to live in loneliness
I crawl into the crevices of my own mind
Unsure and indecisive and believing of nothing
I am not deserving of any kind of love, I have done nothing for it
But accept my weary heart because...

alive in my skin
they say if you scratch your scars they'll disappear
they'll disappear under layers of blood and scab and hate
until all that's left is the skin beneath your nails
they say you're beautiful now
dripping red instead of championing the skin you were born in
raw and ruined is the new world aesthetic
they say to enjoy the hate you've created
your skin isn't enough, it never was and never will be
keep scratching, twisting, burning, waxing until you are not you
haven't you been fed this idea enough for it to be real?
how many mirrors...

an addicts trial
I lay a kiss upon your brow
Cast a spell upon your heart
In a blur of heady motions
The slow seduction starts
It's a pull of gravitation
How nature's course is run
Where I silently beckon
And you are forced to come
To you, your love is just and true
Ecstatic at the chance
To me, a puppet on my strings
My tune dictates your dance
For I have lived millennia
As you have lived and died
I've carved my way in many a heart
My time I did yet bide
I am the downfall of all men
I set your...

Devil's in the Details
When your legs refuse to carry you and your heart is heavy with loss
That's when the devil comes, their tongue dripping silver
And how can you blame those who sold their soul
Heaven was silent
Our salvation lies in that which lifts us up from the sodden dirt
We pay no import to the hooked claws and forked tongue of our saviour
The eternal fires of hell thaw our frozen and numb bodies
Hell reached out
That's when the devil comes, their tongue dripping silver
And how can you blame those who sold their soul
Heaven was silent
Our salvation lies in that which lifts us up from the sodden dirt
We pay no import to the hooked claws and forked tongue of our saviour
The eternal fires of hell thaw our frozen and numb bodies
Hell reached out

functional unless consequences kill
Fuck all of those men
who see it so fit
To fucking tell me
i should ride on their dick
And how fucking dare
the world put a lock on my cunt
As if I'm an animal
they have to fucking hunt
A damned china doll
fucking precious and clean
Yet my bodily curves
are fucking obscene
They dictate to me
like they don't give a fuck
When I try to speak
i'm fucking outta luck
"Don't be seen or heard"
they fucking say to me
Like my body is fucking poison
that I...

You and Me
Hold me closer
Don't let go
Fuck me harder
Let me go
there is pain in closeness because no matter how hard you try you can never be close enough
Fuck me harder
Don't let go
Hold me closer
Let me go
and it is shame that burns through you when you realize it is you who cannot hold the flame in your heart

Witch's Curse
Lead me to the gallows
I shall return to the ground
Become the lead in your water
A reminder to the wrongful
A revenge to the wronged
I shall return to the ground
Become the lead in your water
A reminder to the wrongful
A revenge to the wronged

Unexpected
It hits you quick
One second you're at your desk, coffee in hand
The next you're on a spring mattress, fucking
You can't avoid it
The feeling of being filled up just to the point of breakage is satisfying
The way you contract around his cock is pleasurable
The pleasure stems from the impossibility of your reality
How could your cunt, so hidden and pure,
Accept this foreign object so willingly
But here it is, dripping with a slick fluid

reaching for someone
empty skeletal hands reaching for the sun
bone can't feel when it's being burned
organs so desperate to function for another
hands accept other hands, regardless of whether they fit
there is pain in longing
when being alone is a fear
when loss is a fear
fingernails scrabble at the damp earth
always seeking an elusive companion
this massive world turns dark
when you turn your back to loneliness but find no one
bone can't feel when it's being burned
organs so desperate to function for another
hands accept other hands, regardless of whether they fit
there is pain in longing
when being alone is a fear
when loss is a fear
fingernails scrabble at the damp earth
always seeking an elusive companion
this massive world turns dark
when you turn your back to loneliness but find no one

suffocate
my own hands around my neck
my pulse fighting to keep its rhythm
there's no greater gift than silence
walking flesh and bone define me
bloodied hands are allowed to defile me
maggots bury themselves in my thoughts
they devour my frame of mind
twilight skies surrender to darkness every night
men wear masks as their true faces
beguiling words leave their lips, a swarm of ants ready to feast
cacophonic voices plague even the dead
there is no rest for the wicked
oh and the wicked feast on their own blood ...
my pulse fighting to keep its rhythm
there's no greater gift than silence
walking flesh and bone define me
bloodied hands are allowed to defile me
maggots bury themselves in my thoughts
they devour my frame of mind
twilight skies surrender to darkness every night
men wear masks as their true faces
beguiling words leave their lips, a swarm of ants ready to feast
cacophonic voices plague even the dead
there is no rest for the wicked
oh and the wicked feast on their own blood ...

death : salvation
the finality of death
is the music of silence
a light has disappeared
the world, now a little darker
but how can we mourn
when it was salvation
what do we mourn -
ourselves for being left behind
in the pain of silence
that which protected you is gone
for when death reaps
it is very thorough
is the music of silence
a light has disappeared
the world, now a little darker
but how can we mourn
when it was salvation
what do we mourn -
ourselves for being left behind
in the pain of silence
that which protected you is gone
for when death reaps
it is very thorough
