Obsessed
You give me love and terror
You give me butterflies and butterfly knives
You scare me to my core
I crave you
You make me wring my hands with anxiety
You make me twist and pull my hair
You make me scratch my skin
Fuck, this isn’t fair
Let me swallow you whole
I want to consume your words
You make my brain feral
All my thoughts have blurred
Let me lick your wounds
As you pull mine apart
Let me wrap my fingers around your veins
Let me taste your heart
You give me butterflies and butterfly knives
You scare me to my core
I crave you
You make me wring my hands with anxiety
You make me twist and pull my hair
You make me scratch my skin
Fuck, this isn’t fair
Let me swallow you whole
I want to consume your words
You make my brain feral
All my thoughts have blurred
Let me lick your wounds
As you pull mine apart
Let me wrap my fingers around your veins
Let me taste your heart

In your web
You are suspended in me
In my heart you anchored your tethers
In my wounds you sunk your teeth
In my nylons you crafted holes
In my head you stole space
I am truly devastated by you
And I’ve got a sick obsession
I see you in my dreams
I want to hold you captive
I need a vaccine
You crawl through my sheets
And steal my air
Wrap me in your web
And take a chunk of me
I feel it through my body
I am powerless with you
In my heart you anchored your tethers
In my wounds you sunk your teeth
In my nylons you crafted holes
In my head you stole space
I am truly devastated by you
And I’ve got a sick obsession
I see you in my dreams
I want to hold you captive
I need a vaccine
You crawl through my sheets
And steal my air
Wrap me in your web
And take a chunk of me
I feel it through my body
I am powerless with you

I need release
There’s a sickening deep feeling from the hallows of my chest
My insides twinge and churn
I claw at my guts
I need release
I can feel my skin crawling
My thoughts weigh heavy
I need release
I chew my right nails, then the left
I twist my hair between my fingers
I can feel my scalp itching
I pluck one hair, then two, but two’s not enough but three’s too many
What do I do?
I can’t think
I can’t focus
I can’t speak
I need release
I can feel the blood pumping in my veins
They feel like they’re...
My insides twinge and churn
I claw at my guts
I need release
I can feel my skin crawling
My thoughts weigh heavy
I need release
I chew my right nails, then the left
I twist my hair between my fingers
I can feel my scalp itching
I pluck one hair, then two, but two’s not enough but three’s too many
What do I do?
I can’t think
I can’t focus
I can’t speak
I need release
I can feel the blood pumping in my veins
They feel like they’re...

The garden
Tried to feed me an apple
He said it tastes sweet
Bite through the skin
Enjoy this treat
You got me in the garden
Wrapped around my legs
“Have some faith,
Take a bite” he begs
A snake in sheep’s clothing
He slithered into the grass
Darting his forked tongue
My heart felt short to collapse
Feeling the air dance around my skin
We’ve passed the point of no return
This ecstasy was truly a sin
A moment I’ll forever yearn
He said it tastes sweet
Bite through the skin
Enjoy this treat
You got me in the garden
Wrapped around my legs
“Have some faith,
Take a bite” he begs
A snake in sheep’s clothing
He slithered into the grass
Darting his forked tongue
My heart felt short to collapse
Feeling the air dance around my skin
We’ve passed the point of no return
This ecstasy was truly a sin
A moment I’ll forever yearn

Together forever
I want to rot with you
I want to feel your skin bleed into mine
I want to decay with you
I want to feel each vertebrae in your spine
I want to breathe your essence
Inhale every cloud
Trapped together for eternity
Six feet under the ground
I want to be entwined together
From your toes to your skull
I want to feel every inch of you
I want to consume you whole
I want to wilt with you
With worms sharing our eyes
I want to die with you
Our red strings forever tied
I want to feel your skin bleed into mine
I want to decay with you
I want to feel each vertebrae in your spine
I want to breathe your essence
Inhale every cloud
Trapped together for eternity
Six feet under the ground
I want to be entwined together
From your toes to your skull
I want to feel every inch of you
I want to consume you whole
I want to wilt with you
With worms sharing our eyes
I want to die with you
Our red strings forever tied

Heavy presence
I can hear you creaking
Walking through the corridor
Thump thump thump
Is that me or your footsteps coming to the door
Hidden under the mattress
I can feel your presence
All I see is shadows
The air has a heavy essence
A haunting aroma
My skin feels like it’s crawling
Gripping the floor boards
My insides are tossing
I can taste the blood in my mouth
Chewing on the insides of my cheeks
Trying not to breathe
I can feel the bruises on my knees
Thump thump thump
I can feel myself shaking ...
Walking through the corridor
Thump thump thump
Is that me or your footsteps coming to the door
Hidden under the mattress
I can feel your presence
All I see is shadows
The air has a heavy essence
A haunting aroma
My skin feels like it’s crawling
Gripping the floor boards
My insides are tossing
I can taste the blood in my mouth
Chewing on the insides of my cheeks
Trying not to breathe
I can feel the bruises on my knees
Thump thump thump
I can feel myself shaking ...

Teenagers
There’s nothing like a first love as a teenager
Every feeling so intense
Sitting on the swings for a first kiss
Every move made with innocence
From a first conversation
So scared and so shy
To holding hands
Refusing to say goodbye
Letters written between every class
Wearing hoodies covered in cologne
Waiting for the bus together
Sharing music with earphones
Feeling like you’re on cloud nine
A drug on its own
Nothing really quite hits
Especially when you’re grown
Every feeling so intense
Sitting on the swings for a first kiss
Every move made with innocence
From a first conversation
So scared and so shy
To holding hands
Refusing to say goodbye
Letters written between every class
Wearing hoodies covered in cologne
Waiting for the bus together
Sharing music with earphones
Feeling like you’re on cloud nine
A drug on its own
Nothing really quite hits
Especially when you’re grown

Red string
Miss communication
Misunderstand me
Miss impersonation
Misidentify me
Locked behind her glass doors
Fell trapped to her beauty
Injected by her poison
In love with her cruelty
Green eyes that are toxic
A river of waste management
Smashed windows and foggy lungs
Late night and high strung
If words could kill
I’d be her victim
Played with my insides
Her favorite thing was sadism
Wrapped me in her red string
Tied into a pretty bow
Tighter she’d make it
Oh to be loved by a...

Mr Sinister
He’d whisper “I love you”
With fingers crossed behind his back
He’d kiss her hand
hold it tight
Until it cracked
Empty promises
Lies spilled from his lips
such sweet words
With no hesitation
The girl he stirred
In the night he was a snake
He’d slitter in
Trail up her legs
Wrap around her neck
Until she begged
God how she tried
To be the one
He’d want in his sleep
Crave in her absence
What a fucking sheep
“Kill me romantically.”
He took those words
Inhaled...
With fingers crossed behind his back
He’d kiss her hand
hold it tight
Until it cracked
Empty promises
Lies spilled from his lips
such sweet words
With no hesitation
The girl he stirred
In the night he was a snake
He’d slitter in
Trail up her legs
Wrap around her neck
Until she begged
God how she tried
To be the one
He’d want in his sleep
Crave in her absence
What a fucking sheep
“Kill me romantically.”

Hell and you
Hell and you
The smoke
The agony
The heat
The thought crosses my mind everyday.
How bad could it be?
The light from far away looks enticing, almost inviting.
Every time I get close to the flame i can feel the warmth wrap around me.
It’s suffocating.
I can’t breathe.
Just one sin. That’s all it takes.
But just one taste leads to a watering mouth.
A full blown addiction.
Shivering from withdrawals, or fear, I’m not sure which.
In one blink of an eye I’m back to where I...

Fool at heart
I am not an object
I am not a prize
I am not at your disposal
I am not your high
Emotions run deeper than the lowest valleys
And deafen my ears like a high school pep rally
Chills shoot my nerves with the pain of a thousand pinpoint needles
Numb to my fingertips, this has to be illegal.
Doubled over in agony
Words retch my guts
Vomiting memories
Again it cuts
Over and over again I was baited, duped and hoaxed
But as insane as it was, I was thoroughly engrossed
How can someone fall for the...

Numb to my fingertips, this has to be illegal.

Words retch my guts

You
My ink has dried up
My fingers crack and shake
My thoughts are empty
My insides churn and ache
Where did all the beauty go?
The colors have been muted
I beg, I plead, I bargain
But all hope has been polluted
I’ve choked on my own words
My pale lips a dark blue
Gurgling on the letters
Y-o-u.
My fingers crack and shake
My thoughts are empty
My insides churn and ache
Where did all the beauty go?
The colors have been muted
I beg, I plead, I bargain
But all hope has been polluted
I’ve choked on my own words
My pale lips a dark blue
Gurgling on the letters
Y-o-u.
