No one reads this anyways
People are like suns
glowing up and burning out
I want to swallow it all
and feel how deep my emptiness goes
I had a dream one night
woke up and found it while awake
in my enemies fever dreams
I cut people out like coupons
and edit them in my head to fit
into conversations we never had
but wish we did
I want to bend myself backwards sometimes
because I'm sick of hindsight being so late.
I want to see the knife coming
before the stinging truth
glowing up and burning out
I want to swallow it all
and feel how deep my emptiness goes
I had a dream one night
woke up and found it while awake
in my enemies fever dreams
I cut people out like coupons
and edit them in my head to fit
into conversations we never had
but wish we did
I want to bend myself backwards sometimes
because I'm sick of hindsight being so late.
I want to see the knife coming
before the stinging truth

Death Signed
The day started like any other
Just awaiting death to accept an invitation
We’ve all given with forged signatures
Floating a little more south than usual
My state of mind is like a rickety bridge
I like to burn it at both sides
standing center in the eclipse
Impending cataclysmic abysses
don’t frighten me as fast
As feeling empty in a room so full
I feel I won’t be missed, maybe that’s the point
I don’t want a single memory to hold hostage your happy thoughts
When it took the present to taint the past
I burrow deep with...

The Devil Himself
His ability to play the role so well,
Like he never laid the script upon the shelf
the mannerisms of royalty and class
his wine glass smoking from the heat
should've been a reason to guess
That....
They accidentally hired the Devil to play himself
His words carried weight,
I saw the audience floating from seat to extremist
it was beautiful destruction of common sense
perverse were the words but perfect stood his form
That gilded smile...
is what took the world by storm...

Alabaster : Rachel
I wish I had the words
for a better Goodbye
My sweet sister
Your plays were an extension of you
the way you swam between scenes
In hopes people wouldn’t see the real you
The dreamer, the quiet girl
whose life drains from her skin as the days pass
The acts you’ve swayed in so effortlessly
Left impressions in the wood you walked,
the shadows you casted
I can hear your voice echoing Heaven’s cathedral
I know they cannot match you,
A True Angel in the crowd of painted on wings.
...

Intj, enfp, more letters to initiate boxes
Ever so carefully worded
Never fully understood
Until challenged
Bored by the presence of balance
But needing it so,
To satiate your chaos
Embarrassed by errors
Pondering deep thoughts
Ignoring the water rising
Stuck in shallow sided conversation
Oh what minds have faltered
When they witness your goofy like desires?
Robotic and persistent
Your exterior rarely cracks but when it does
You polish it religiously
Respectfully...
Don't you think they can see?
In spots you've made reflective
Someone so...

Aspiring
I've come to understand,
That Not everyone is like me,
Not everyone sees the puzzle piece they’ve become
The distance my mind can unravel the smallest of thoughts
To the oblivious nature of your gentle "Hello, How are you?"
I’d say I don't know,
I try to preset answers to our basic interactions
That I freeze upon
The hues are too much sometimes
The air too thick with inquiries and I...
Just want to be alone
to see life from the window seat
A plane of existence
I will eventually...

Immeasurable
In moments
I see cities burning
With each time your lips move
A cadence of suicidal hate
Rings through the adolescent mind
Why have you come?
Why have you brought such tricks?
to center gravity? The pull too much?
The weightless depravity you wield
Finally too heavy?
You seem coy in your answers
Brilliant but nonetheless
Your aptitude for chaos is worrying
I see cities burning
Every utterance of yours
a piece of mind raped
Gander at the magnificent destruction
At your wake...
I feel hell coming ...
I see cities burning
With each time your lips move
A cadence of suicidal hate
Rings through the adolescent mind

At your wake...

Doppelganger
May I comprehend doubt
The lies and thoughts that ran me a fray
I'd leave a piece of me to pave the way,
In time
Let them take my place
where I've begun to fade
...I'll watch them grow
while I smile in their display
I'll be their silhouette today
But when they begin to shine
I'll take my step behind them
And enjoy their shade.
Oh baby why don't you go out and play...
Take my wisdom
and change the world into a better place
Be better than I can
Be better than I am..
The struggles I've found ...
The lies and thoughts that ran me a fray
I'd leave a piece of me to pave the way,

But when they begin to shine

New start
Until the day arrives where I don't fit into your narrative
I'll stay grasping at words that you conjure out
so effortlessly,
I will be the architect of your glass frame,
knowing where each soft spot in your design is perfectly..
I can't describe all the things I want to
but I'll still try even if I fumble at times
and I'll paint the walls of my mind
the hue you'd like
just so you'd sit in my head a little longer please,
climb down my throat
and take each dizzy step carefully
down my ribs until you find the place you're...

Spontaneous Human Consumption
I've wrestled with the bellicose dreams that have infested my nights for far longer than I had hoped, a mere breath of conscious thought between the hellish rows that envelope my sanity amongst the needed rest, has weakened me much. A chill scratches deep across my bones as for the weather's fairness bares no claws, I've welcomed a threat beneath my skull, an unwarranted and intrusive fiend sinks it's teeth deeply.
Sanity or at least what mimics such, is much like undulation, peaks and barren lands where silent desires and screaming quiets find solitude behind backdrops where...

Fetter
There is freedom in being hated, everyone's fears and need for answers, temptation and knowledge bleed into a disgusting form, are you any different?...We beg and plead for forgiveness by the ones we hurt, we hurt because we wanted more in that second than our friend or family...In all hearts and minds...we would waste away that companionship for a petty second...
We are all built from the things we've lost...
and some whispers of abuse and broken souls echo for centuries, a thousand lives and weak spirits all converging on a single body and mind, tattered from everyone before...

Suffer
How many hushed voices ring
around your head?
never alone but feel so isolated in
even the inner ones
beckon a brighter vessel
those hollow words that echoes
salvation in dire disbelief
embracing the touch of malice as warmth.
as mutal destruction became a shared notion between fists and vitriol
the precious poisoned perfume reeks through the house
bottled dreams and dismissed beings
where dishes crash and fall to no end
veiled hurt by making friends
with the...
