Sewed a Smile
She sewed a smile
With deceitful thread
Pricked her lips and wove it in
Bled as she began to grin
Tightening the ruby red
With a needle snaking beneath her skin
Tying a bloody double knot
Cut the string
Her smile stretches the aching seams
They might burst
When the smile stops
Ripping the stitches she unbearably fought
With deceitful thread
Pricked her lips and wove it in
Bled as she began to grin
Tightening the ruby red
With a needle snaking beneath her skin
Tying a bloody double knot
Cut the string
Her smile stretches the aching seams
They might burst
When the smile stops
Ripping the stitches she unbearably fought

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

Constellations
She will be as the stars
Beautiful and bright
Flickering like a kiss to your eyes
She will carry your burdens
And hear your cries
As she illuminates the night
So small, so distant, they are
Those who leave love and warmth in your heart
Gone like a comet, too soon
Make a wish, maybe they’ll return soon
If you ever should doubt, your place in the world
Look to the sky, trace each dot
She’s a constellation
Hard to spot
Wherever you roam
There she drifts
On the horizon
Guiding you home
Beautiful and bright
Flickering like a kiss to your eyes
She will carry your burdens
And hear your cries
As she illuminates the night
So small, so distant, they are
Those who leave love and warmth in your heart
Gone like a comet, too soon
Make a wish, maybe they’ll return soon
If you ever should doubt, your place in the world
Look to the sky, trace each dot
She’s a constellation
Hard to spot
Wherever you roam
There she drifts
On the horizon
Guiding you home

One Last Little Blink
Blink blink
Curtains and pillows
Blink.. blink
Covered face
Blink blink
Just wanna lay
No more blinks today
Blink blink
Tears and snot
Blink blink
Cheeks red hot
Blink blink
Smiling, you thought!
Wink wink
No more blinks today
Blink. Blink.
At a bridge
Headlights and horns
Blink blink
Beep beep
Go back to
Sleep sleep
I said
No more blinks
Blink.. blink..
Monitors start to
Beat beat
Lights above start to
Shrink shrink ...
Curtains and pillows
Blink.. blink
Covered face
Blink blink
Just wanna lay
No more blinks today
Blink blink
Tears and snot
Blink blink
Cheeks red hot
Blink blink
Smiling, you thought!
Wink wink
No more blinks today
Blink. Blink.
At a bridge
Headlights and horns
Blink blink
Beep beep
Go back to
Sleep sleep
I said
No more blinks
Blink.. blink..
Monitors start to
Beat beat
Lights above start to
Shrink shrink ...

Paper Cut
so thinly pale.. soft.. weightless
folded into planes and cranes
worn until it’s not the same
just a beaten page
she’s crumbled in the corner
counting every hand
she’s paper cutting
folded into planes and cranes
worn until it’s not the same
just a beaten page
she’s crumbled in the corner
counting every hand
she’s paper cutting

House of Fury
She is a house of rage
Four walls forged of unforgiving wood
Their tears soak cedar logs
Leaving drops of blood on iron nails
That hold the weight of her inside
She is a house of fury
Keeps the windows shut, when a midnight gust tangles the curtains
Banging are the hands of many
Begging for her grace and pity
She will keep the doors locked
As she rots with all her junk
Every muffled doorstep plea
Is a missed opportunity
To take this house of envy
And build it to a house of mercy
Four walls forged of unforgiving wood
Their tears soak cedar logs
Leaving drops of blood on iron nails
That hold the weight of her inside
She is a house of fury
Keeps the windows shut, when a midnight gust tangles the curtains
Banging are the hands of many
Begging for her grace and pity
She will keep the doors locked
As she rots with all her junk
Every muffled doorstep plea
Is a missed opportunity
To take this house of envy
And build it to a house of mercy

Abandoned by Spring
Losing you feels like:
Shriveled leaves in unrelenting heat
A thousand hungry thorns between my feet
Like a dying rose that lives through everything
I was a perennial
You were my spring
Without you exists nothing
Shriveled leaves in unrelenting heat
A thousand hungry thorns between my feet
Like a dying rose that lives through everything
I was a perennial
You were my spring
Without you exists nothing

My Beloved, Like an Oak Tree
My beloved
Like an oak tree
Rooted with wisdom
Sharpened leaves
How your branches snake
To hold my wandering feet
Into your canopy
I rest in your shade
And watch you grow
Like fine wine, you age beautifully
Those hollows I trace
Hiding my belongings
Keep them safe
My beloved
Like an oak tree
Like an oak tree
Rooted with wisdom
Sharpened leaves
How your branches snake
To hold my wandering feet
Into your canopy
I rest in your shade
And watch you grow
Like fine wine, you age beautifully
Those hollows I trace
Hiding my belongings
Keep them safe
My beloved
Like an oak tree

The Abandon Bandage
enemies will cut
friends watch you bleed
besties throw the bandage before they leave
friends watch you bleed
besties throw the bandage before they leave

Floral Expectations
If she is worth the vase
Should she be spotless?
Thorns only prick
The hands of the thoughtless
Should she be spotless?
Thorns only prick
The hands of the thoughtless

she’s a raging sea
trapped inside a drop of rain
pouring over us

Bloody Garden
you don’t know that soon my vengeance will feel like:
thorns between your bones
petals soaked in blood
growing up a garden
with scarlet seeds planted on your tongue
thorns between your bones
petals soaked in blood
growing up a garden
with scarlet seeds planted on your tongue

Fatal Ocean Lullaby
Take me, tides of green
Let me sail a broken sea
Into a fog so cold and bleak
No lighthouse dare shine its love on me
Rock this ship like a hurricane should
Awaken these bones of rotten wood
Sweep my shoreline
Kill the kelp
Pull the seaweed
And stomp each shell
I don’t need treasure or gold
I need death to tighten its ocean hold
Drown me, tides of black
Destroy the boat, and take me back
Like a siren who calls its lover home
Send me crashing on cliffs with your fatal wave song
Let me sail a broken sea
Into a fog so cold and bleak
No lighthouse dare shine its love on me
Rock this ship like a hurricane should
Awaken these bones of rotten wood
Sweep my shoreline
Kill the kelp
Pull the seaweed
And stomp each shell
I don’t need treasure or gold
I need death to tighten its ocean hold
Drown me, tides of black
Destroy the boat, and take me back
Like a siren who calls its lover home
Send me crashing on cliffs with your fatal wave song
