Reverence
I built a temple in my chest,
A sacred place for you to rest.
Your name is stitched beneath my ribs,
A whispered vow, a life to give.
I am the altar, you the flame,
Devotion bound in endless pain.
And every breath becomes your prayer,
A hollow hymn left hanging there.
You write your scripture in my veins,
A litany of sweet remains.
Each word you speak, a curse I crave,
A holy wound, a shallow grave.
I begged for light, you gave me night,
And still, I bathe in your delight.
Consume me—
Take my flesh...
A sacred place for you to rest.
Your name is stitched beneath my ribs,
A whispered vow, a life to give.
I am the altar, you the flame,
Devotion bound in endless pain.
And every breath becomes your prayer,
A hollow hymn left hanging there.
You write your scripture in my veins,
A litany of sweet remains.
Each word you speak, a curse I crave,
A holy wound, a shallow grave.
I begged for light, you gave me night,
And still, I bathe in your delight.
Consume me—
Take my flesh...

Obsessed
You give me love and terror
You give me butterflies and butterfly knives
You scare me to my core
I crave you
You make me wring my hands with anxiety
You make me twist and pull my hair
You make me scratch my skin
Fuck, this isn’t fair
Let me swallow you whole
I want to consume your words
You make my brain feral
All my thoughts have blurred
Let me lick your wounds
As you pull mine apart
Let me wrap my fingers around your veins
Let me taste your heart
You give me butterflies and butterfly knives
You scare me to my core
I crave you
You make me wring my hands with anxiety
You make me twist and pull my hair
You make me scratch my skin
Fuck, this isn’t fair
Let me swallow you whole
I want to consume your words
You make my brain feral
All my thoughts have blurred
Let me lick your wounds
As you pull mine apart
Let me wrap my fingers around your veins
Let me taste your heart

this darkness isn't big enough for two
I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
trading scars and spilling darkness
like cheap cask wine
because alcoholics
don't buy nice things
and our souls don't know
how to aim for top shelf self-destruction
We are discarded art
half drawn and torn in strange places
I tried to tape you back together
but you wrapped me up
in your co-dependence
and I was too lonely to cut you off
because like every drug
that's picked me up to let me fall
you got inside and gave me something
I...

Methamphetamine
Needles were never meant to pierce your skin.
My dear, you are not a doll.
Those needles can't sew you back together again.

Smoke-Free For One Year
There's one thing that's perfectly clear.
I have been smoke-free for one year.
The last cigarette that I smoked was in 2023 at 11:45 PM on New Year's Eve.
I stopped smoking and you can quit even though it may be hard to believe.
Please let it be your New Year's resolution to stop smoking.
I was able to kick the habit and so can you and I'm not joking.

Lust
intensity winds its thistling vines
binding limbs against an intricate pleasure
kneading a distraction to soothe the ache
chafing me raw In significant measures

Alone
I wake up alone
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
With a little more...
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
With a little more...

Two fingers of Scotch
Hits better
Than five of yours
Ever did

Burning
What are you burning
I think it's your soul
You're breathing in smoke
That won't fill the hole
And when you breathe out
Your chemical pain
Your heart is still bleeding
Just numb from the pain
Emptiness comes
You know it so well
The hour of nothingness
Then breaking the spell
Dead ends and grey roads
You've been here before
Run whil you still can
Then run on some more
Escape this distraction
It doesn't exist
You'll get back the love
The love that you missed
...

Loss
Loss of youth
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope

Wraith
I'll be home for Christmas
Sitting all by myself
Alone and self forsaken
Refusing anyone's help
Too many mistakes
That I've made
Too many memories
I've lost along the way
Surrounded by empty bottles
Knowing it's too late
Wondering how I can still love
Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time
I would've taken a different road
Wish i could've seen
How things would unfold
To turn my back on everything
That I've ever held so dear
Just to wallow in self pity ...
Sitting all by myself

Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time
I would've taken a different road

To turn my back on everything
That I've ever held so dear

Liquid, Soothing
Liquefy my mind
I got nothing else to give
Heathen of mischief
I got nothing else to give
