Poet Introduction
"don't undress my love you might find a mannequin: don't undress the mannequin you might find my love. -CB
Mutual
He's curious
Watches my hands
teeth dig into my lips
All he wonders is what I am
thinking about
when I break the skin
In all honesty,
I don't think he was ready
for an answer
His interest fired in me
more and
more
My movements became
slower as I felt his eyes
burning through
me
Taunting him
Twirling the ends of my hair
Running the tip of my tongue
against the layers of my lipstick
In his mind this is all
a tease
But it's always been more than that
Love has never been safe
And I've become good at...
Watches my hands
teeth dig into my lips
All he wonders is what I am
thinking about
when I break the skin
In all honesty,
I don't think he was ready
for an answer
His interest fired in me
more and
more
My movements became
slower as I felt his eyes
burning through
me
Taunting him
Twirling the ends of my hair
Running the tip of my tongue
against the layers of my lipstick
In his mind this is all
a tease
But it's always been more than that
Love has never been safe
And I've become good at...

Life after Death
Squeeze onto shells when I sleep
Pulse in my ear but I don't feel
A heart beat
Counting the sheep
Tripping over fences as the night
Hunts The weak
And I look to the ceilin'
Not the sky or the moon but the
Cracks in the beam
Squeeze on his torso just to
Find a beat
Eat my food cold so I can
Feel something
I found out about the leaves
Why they change colors and run
From the trees
Curl up on the ground and watch
The others spring
But you don't fool me
Pulse in my ear but I don't feel
A heart beat
Counting the sheep
Tripping over fences as the night
Hunts The weak
And I look to the ceilin'
Not the sky or the moon but the
Cracks in the beam
Squeeze on his torso just to
Find a beat
Eat my food cold so I can
Feel something
I found out about the leaves
Why they change colors and run
From the trees
Curl up on the ground and watch
The others spring
But you don't fool me

Don't think ..
Laid on his lap
Lookin up through
The branches of the trees
Marlboro reds in my hand
Budweiser between my knees
Eye to eye and were
Glued
Takin bout the books we
Been through
Places we both
Seen
And how this
Is where were
Meant to be
Can't help but wonder
Why we've pushed
Each Other so far away
While the world keeps
Spinning
We're standing in
place
Nothing to do-we spent
The day on a bench
Scenic view of the hood but
Our body's are drenched.
In our minds clashing words
People...

Cycles
I remember when you
Couldn't sleep without me
Now we're rooms apart just
Starin at a tv
Try and run my hands down you
And u throw a fit
Say "I'm tryna sleep don't
Touch me bitch"
But I'm still me I'm still here
And like it wasn't enough
It's never enough
Every time I try and give
Some one love
My face is in the pillow while
The mascara runs
Your hands never felt the
Warmth in my skin
Your eyes never seen the beauty
With in
Don't come home to me and
Try to pretend
Like this is what you...
Couldn't sleep without me
Now we're rooms apart just
Starin at a tv
Try and run my hands down you
And u throw a fit
Say "I'm tryna sleep don't
Touch me bitch"
But I'm still me I'm still here
And like it wasn't enough
It's never enough
Every time I try and give

Warmth in my skin
Your eyes never seen the beauty

Don't come home to me and
Try to pretend

Hourglass
Peel me to
The core
I want you to
Ignore
The outer layers
Of my brain
Please skip right
Through the pain
And look for me
Underneath
I swear you'll find
A piece
Of you;
that your
Soul hasn't found
It's just us on the
Ground
The worlds spinning
Beneath us
And we're trembling with
Reasons
Destroying us before
We've even tried
I swear I've seen the world
In the pupils of your eyes
Friction of our skin imprisons
My mind
And I'll sit here and wait till we both
Realize...

Battling the Cerebrum
Never thought I would
live past
thirteen
Lookin' out the window
Where's his car, Where's
his things?
His scent of Newport 100's
on his brown coat
faded
Couple pieces of clothing
and some photos don't
make it
Tell myself 'he's in the army
he'll be home in a couple
years
Don't cry you'll see him
soon why you sheddin
tears?'
Why can't I call him? Write
a letter, hear his voice?
You don't care where is
don't
give me any remorse
'I'm sorry he's in rehab
he'll be out in a couple
months

I'm not the one for you..
Opposite corners and you
watch her
gliding, dress
flowing she
picks up her glass of wine
and the imprints of
her lipstick around the
rim
weakens your devils
crushes your ribs
she's yours but you can't
look away
Most woman's flaws turn
you but her's - you
display
Walls collapsing each time
her heels hit the floor
Dodging bricks to follow
her through whatever's
left of the
door
Your the shadow of her smile
Yet, while she speaks you're
choking on her eyes
Someone calls her name

irresistible
Rising at the moment
saw me walk through the door
inches through his pants
had me peeling to the core
“Why are you hard?,
I'm barely laced
you've barely
traced
your hands on my skin”?
He said your smile is sin”
I know I'm dangerous baby
but my hands haven't even begin..
cut me off
couldn't keep his hands off
energy is a strange thing when it
fucks before your clothes hit the
floor
xox
