An itch
Her body is wrapped in bandage
For her skin does not scab
Once again
it is torn by her own nails
Which now protrude from her limbs
Her legs and arms horribly disfigured and impaled
Cut and bruised at her own hand
She tries not to look at them
As they only blemish her very vision
and claw at her memory
Void of mercy
and gentleness
they can no longer be hidden
stubbornly forgotten and encased in her bleeding flesh
Again, she will begin to itch
And then the memories
they will subside
after she has scratched raw...

Cut and bruised at her own hand

As they only blemish her very vision
and claw at her memory
Void of mercy
and gentleness
they can no longer be hidden
stubbornly forgotten and encased in her bleeding flesh
Again, she will begin to itch
And then the memories
they will subside
after she has scratched raw...

Block your ears
Do not look me when you cut
When you scissor and saw my flesh
When you chisel my bones
and wrap my hair
Do not swap my flesh for plastic
Do not fill my cheeks with youth you've crafted from mulch
Or sculpt my teeth with metal
Do not force me to watch
Her mock her adult body
Or hear you sneer with hatred
At her crying
Do not inject my chest with sweetener
Or my bum with fat
Block her ears so she do not hear to your whining
Your insecure complaints
About appearance and age
As I did
When you scissor and saw my flesh
When you chisel my bones
and wrap my hair
Do not swap my flesh for plastic
Do not fill my cheeks with youth you've crafted from mulch
Or sculpt my teeth with metal
Do not force me to watch
Her mock her adult body
Or hear you sneer with hatred
At her crying
Do not inject my chest with sweetener
Or my bum with fat
Block her ears so she do not hear to your whining
Your insecure complaints
About appearance and age
As I did

Complete
Maybe she will look at me
But i will not know enough to answer with a stare more intense than hers
So I will tear my heart from my ribs and hold it out for her
And she will sit oblivious like a child as i wait for her to take it
I will wait for a moment and then I will stuff it back into my body
before she can reach it
i will act, pretend she is a mere stranger and not the reason for my poorly stitched chest,
my heart a second away from being ripped out once more by my own hand for her
then shoved down my throat and eaten before she can hear the...

Forgetting me
I didnt want you to forget me, please don’t forget me.
I want to stay in your memory. I want to be there forever.
Let me burrow deeper and deeper. Into your thoughts, into your mind so that I am free to torment you, comfort you just as you do me in mine.
Let me conquer your dreams as well, let the face you see always be mine.
Keep me with you.
Please.

Strange
It is strange to be so at the mercy of a love i cannot have. One unrequited as mine should not pain me, weigh so heavily in mind. Such love is a burden to my soul as a bullet is to my chest but even still my arms remain open for someone already held by someone else, my body waiting to be held by arms already embracing another

Creature
My body overcome and mind awash with emotion i think of myth.
Creature, do not run from me but embrace the similar strangeness of me as I shall do to you, sing to me a story of heartbreak and tragedy, tell me your mind, you’re wrongness, your innermost desires and sorrows and in doing that let me know you truly
