mistaking adrenaline for butterflies
The people in my family are cursed by their own hand
Generational trauma attracting a certain kind of lover
Broken with sad eyes and a story that breaks your heart
Anger living in their fists and haunting their mouths
Using life ruining methods to numb their pain
When your home was never safe for you
You have to distrust those who feel like home
Beautiful damage meeting beautiful damage
Doesn't always make something beautiful
Feeling comfortable in feeling unsafe with them
Mistaking adrenaline for butterflies is dangerous

morning birds
he asked me
why the door was locked
my love, how I tremble when you go,
the sound of your departure
leaves me quiet & defeated
& my lips have grown accustomed
to the sting.
as the low growl of intention
singes the ears of my angels,
I hold them tightly, I listen.
the morning birds
will tell me when it's safe.
I locked the door my love,
I think it's best that way...
why the door was locked
my love, how I tremble when you go,
the sound of your departure
leaves me quiet & defeated
& my lips have grown accustomed
to the sting.
as the low growl of intention
singes the ears of my angels,
I hold them tightly, I listen.
the morning birds
will tell me when it's safe.
I locked the door my love,

TW domestic violence and addiction
You’ve been gone for days, say you’re getting tattoos
But you’re selling your car and there’s boxes to move
What will I do, with the holes in the walls?
And the ring in my night stand you stole from the mall?
Or the Welches in the bathroom you’re turning to wine?
Or the eyebrows that curve when I tell them I’m fine?
Now there’s blood in my hands. Pretty sure it’s mine
And I’m hunched in the bathtub, mom stands there crying
And they’re carrying me out to go...

Back Hand
Love and Affection
We would sit on his lap
My brother and I
Who's boy are you?
Your's
Who's boy am I?
Mine
It was a contract
One we all needed
He was far from perfect
But he was what we had
We loved him
And he loved us back
Then
He died
Used to blame myself
For my brothers pain
I used to blame myself
For just about anything
You might wonder
How you get wired...

who killed the president
Who killed the president?
It was a fine forenoon when the pilot left the ship in Wilhelmshaven
in Curacao, bound for Maracaibo, Venezuela
the sea was like a mirror at ease being back on the ocean
Then came the news John Kennedy has been shot and brought
to the hospital, and half an hour later, a bulletin the president is dead.
For us, it was a profound shock he represented the future, young
glamorous, with a beautiful wife, we loved him like an older brother
we could look up to; peace corps and peace in the world.

Personal Original Sin
I have started to hunt again
I hear my feelings go to lend
I’m numb but that doesn’t mean I’m dumb
I’m prone, but that doesn’t mean I’m alone
I’ll spend my time with you today
Not that you have a choice anyway
I figure we’ll talk, communicate hate
Not that you can with your mouth gate
I see the holes in the wall
Physical representational call
I wonder aloud why you have so much
It seems unlikely for an organ touch
Listen, I think you’re lashing out
Against whom, I’m lost about
Maybe you have a victim of your own
You...

Watching
It starts out as a small shift from the normal behavior shown, becoming used to one sidedness and self centered cruelty.
It's common for a abuser to show a small shred of kindness and love to keep their victims hooked onto the hope of possibly receiving this rare feeling again. A fleeting moment made to be bait and a hope that this small interaction of pleasantness could be the future or even permanent.
No, it's a tactic for an abuser to keep their chosen target to keep being obedient and submissive to the harm they do. They enjoy knowing they have full control over a...

Sacrificial
You will be mine; I will own you
You will be mine; I will eat you
You will be mine; I can’t wait to have you
You will be mine; I will kill you
I cannot feel; your pain will entertain
I cannot feel; your fear’s in vain
I cannot feel; your hatred’s a game
I cannot feel; your ignorance shame
You will be my sacrificial
Your eyes are gifts but superficial
My taste does love your hiding mind
My love does taste of your killing bind
You will not move; I’ve done the work
You will not move; I no longer lurk
You will...

Traitor
Pretty little traitor
whisper hate into their ears
pretty little traitor
won't you propogate
our fears?
Making love to our rapists
taking drugs and saying
you'll be with us
now you're taking
all my rights and digging
your own daughter's grave
blaming your sister
because she couldn't
stay awake
blaming your mother
for what she wore today
Pretty little traitor

Life will not end this way
Trapped.
Trapped in an overcrowded sea of thoughts.
Thoughts that make me feel claustrophobic.
Claustrophobic anxiety.
Anxiety that stems from walking on eggshells around you.
You are completely in control of my life.
Life isn’t suppose to be like this.
This is my last chance to escape.
Escape to the independent life that I deserve.
Deserve to not be trapped.
Trapped.
Trapped in an overcrowded sea of thoughts.
Thoughts that make me feel claustrophobic.
Claustrophobic anxiety.
Anxiety that stems from walking on eggshells around you.
You are completely in control of my life.
Life isn’t suppose to be like this.
This is my last chance to escape.
Escape to the independent life that I deserve.
Deserve to not be trapped.
Trapped.

My New Wife
Have I shown you my new wife?
Look through the window there,
you’ll see her dig the flowerbeds.
Two years my last’s been gone,
fled to another man’s bed,
and leaving me with kids to raise,
though he’s decided she’s a bet
worth taking more than me.
Don’t blame the lad. Won’t take no shit,
just like my dad never did.
She’s mopping now; her brow, that is.
I’ll bet you’re wondering just why
a pretty thing like that would bet on me.
But it’s quite simple, so you’ll see.
She didn’t have much cloth,
and so I thought, why let...
