Coco's Peru
We watched you
Your hands so tender
Your skin so sore
Your bones almost fragile
And your eyes began to blur
She held your hand that evening
As the moments began to pour
From Peru to the USA
"You are everything to me"
Holding her hand was just bliss
Remembering every moment
Every hug, every smile
And every swollen kiss
Your body was tired
And she seen it
With every breath was an ounce of discomfort
Silent was your body
And slower was your heart
As she whispered
Until...

Paint My Love Till We Meet Again
Disasters have been tied to this body
I am much more detrimental
I am sicker than the illness
I have done many selfish acts
Hurt more people in my destructive tendencies
How can this worthless beaten shame ever ask for forgiveness
I never learned to love myself
only to act in survival
Breathe in the blood and remember you are of the living
I know my sights
a dammed masterpiece
Torn
Aged
In a state of wreckage
A catastrophe of beauty
Burned mistakes in the craftsmanship of yourself
A blood collapsed frame
Numb to the...

Till I Divide
dysfunctional system of cells
their voice is getting stronger
their screams keep me alert
their shattered cries sing me to sleep
I've learned to adjust my sanity to fit them
they just want me dead
a flawless suicide
a zero on zero homicide
In the end
i'd kill far more than just myself
i'll write my sins
with blood i gather from the bath
what was my main contact with them
it was all in my head
but I felt every mindless blow
shards of glass enter my eyes
till suddenly my thoughts are the only wrecked lullaby...
their voice is getting stronger

Host of a Home : Niche
They are all my home Except where I lay my head
I
Claw
Bite
Tear
Gnaw
Pinch
Prick
Hollow
And rip into whatever remains of human I can find
I carve a home in them
One only I can escape without regrets
Some would call it
Taking advantage of someone
I call it habit
What happens if they leave you?
Well it's simple
Some homes just are not built to withstand an unstoppable force
I hate explaining this
Explaining is for those who have...

Doorways
Let us sit in the doorway for a while
I will do what humans cannot
I will comfort you
I won't let you lie to me about how you are "Fine"
I won't let you sleep alone tonight
I won't let you drown in your rivers of tears
I won't let you risk your life
So take my hand
We can sit in the door way just for a while
I may not have a heart beat
I may only be your addiction
I may only ever be a small blade
But lover
Even I can see your heart is malfunctioning
Now go on, we have had our session ...
I will do what humans cannot

Oblivion Morning, High Night
I lay down
My pillow is cold and unwelcoming
my bones ache and groan with the worlds problems
Sometimes I do not think I belong here at all
There must have been a mistake
Sitting up I walk to take a seat with my metals
I have had better conversations with razor blades than ever with my own parents
Little beads of blood dance onto my skin in thin lines, welcoming
I clean myself up after dragging myself up off the ground
Bloody bandages are sometimes the only colors I see every now and then
Again I lay down
My pillow still...

Skinless Patient
Problematic
That is all anyone will see
With my emotional flairs and bloody mid nights
all those suicidal tendency's and thoughts drenched in hate
Sick is an understatement,
An itch that cannot be scratched
A scar that will not fade
A heart that has been asked over and over to stop
I break promises as if it were as easy as breathing
Somethings cannot be treated...
So please do not make me show you my real skin...

All It Will Ever Be
Maybe I am by myself
But then again
I would not want to be there ether
I am the kind of person I myself would hate
Always alone
Always trying not to feel
Always failing to keep my distance
Never wanting to wake up again
I would burn to carve a wish into my skin
I alone have become addicted to
The numb
The blood
The scars
The high
The tears
The skill
and over all
The addiction itself
But even I am aware that this blade of choice will not last me forever
All metal will eventually break down
I am...

I, We, & Monsters.
Monsters are matter
Monsters are cells
Monsters are fear
Monsters are what we mostly define as bad
I make up the world around me through my own eyes
I am my body, every inch, quart, and bone of it
I am never and always afraid to die
I am what we could define as Monster
We are what make up the world
We are all connected deep down through millions of blood lines
We are always fearing what we do not understand
we are commonly defined as Human
throughout eternity
Nothing has changed
...Because to someone else, It never...
