I stand, you chase
I watch you chase empty fixes
let the anxiety fade from your grasp
and breathe in a reality that only exists
on the other side of the drug cocktail you mixed
I can't remember the last time
you fucked me
with nothing but blood in your veins
and I wonder if you like me better
when you're only half in the game
But then you look at me
like I'm the end of your world
like I'm the beginning of everything
like I'm the spark at the start of the universe
And I don't fucking understand
how you can walk...
let the anxiety fade from your grasp
and breathe in a reality that only exists
on the other side of the drug cocktail you mixed
I can't remember the last time
you fucked me
with nothing but blood in your veins
and I wonder if you like me better
when you're only half in the game
But then you look at me
like I'm the end of your world
like I'm the beginning of everything
like I'm the spark at the start of the universe
And I don't fucking understand
how you can walk...

a collection of thoughts
1. Accountability
There is something beautiful
in brutal self honesty
that isn't the self destructive
nihilism of my youth
I am only as sick
as the things that I hide
from myself
I'm tired of hiding
2. Self-esteem
I don't claim to love myself
at least not the way
holistic gurus tell me to
But I have enough self respect
to know when to say yes
and when to say no
though some days the lines
get blurry
and I say fuck too much
just to let you know...

half way fallen
I wake up
reach for my tunes
it's habit now
to quiet some of the noise
in my head
I resist the urge to fuck myself
cause I'm getting tired
of chasing empty escapes
though I'm aching for anything
that feels like
sweet temporary oblivion
I skip the Valium
if I can't see the bottle
it can't whisper the promise
of sleepy numb into my psyche
though I'm thinking about it
It's 7:30am and I'm crying

Lisbeth (with mood board)
One more mood board for today. My apologies if it's offensive to some. That was not my intention.
LISBETH
In the vampire movie, I’m the kid with the gun. I feel your hands like others feel God, close all the shutters and collect the tire wrenches. Oh my hunger shakes. It's haunting the way my wrists curl around your neck, dripping with the most delicate of charms. At night I cry over your gap-toothed smile, the windmills troubling me as I collect hostile swans. Your breathing making me tremble like a kitten. Mother tells me I look terrible without makeup. In high school...

self medicating
I'm one Valium down
got a joint saved for later
Spent forty minutes
watching porn
trying to make myself cum
so wet
so empty
so disconnected
flicking through videos
trying to find someone
to watch that's not faking it
cause I know what it looks like
to see a woman enjoying herself
and the only thing I'm enjoying
is the slick heat between my legs
though it's not getting me anywhere yet
I'm two Valium down
got a joint for later
passing out to sex songs
in my Spotify playlist...

letter to myself
Let's be honest
I'm really fucking proud of you
I know we've been walking
that edge lately
between coming and going
between setting life on fire
and trying to smother the sparks
that are already in motion
We're constantly surrounded
by stoners and alcoholics
and the occasional meth addict
but you never let it
get inside your head
you never slip
you smile
play nice
lock your housemate's patio door
at night when he passes out
with the screen wide open
We could get stoned...

Drug Love
My one true love was you
The euphoria that you gave me
The trips bad and good
I had to let go of you
You were my toxic love
You almost took my life
The tears I had shed when I had to leave
Where you just sat in my bathroom cabinet
I had to let you go to find me
The euphoria that you gave me
The trips bad and good
I had to let go of you
You were my toxic love
You almost took my life
The tears I had shed when I had to leave
Where you just sat in my bathroom cabinet
I had to let you go to find me

Accursed Poppy
Jumping from my skin
Hair-raising flashes and waves
Like winter breezes
Haunted yawns howling
Visionary eyes tearing
Decrepit visage
Memories of sun
Fading obliviously
Looking outward dark
Nervously stretching
Tensley vasoconstricted
Muscle and tendon
Knee jerk reaction
Kicking and thrashing non-stop
Craving for more dope
Obsessing over
Symptoms...

Twang! Twang!
Tang!
Here it comes again;
Tang! Tang!
Twang!
Bullets across
the hood
from my balcony.
My son is
on heroine tonight.

Intoxicated
Glinting with a mystical majesty
Painted in surreal clouds of fantasy
Wherever do you hide, my love
Your luster has dulled with time
…
Malignant spirits, in the dead of night
Seek to unravel the tortured mind
With lips that shimmer of the poison
You swore you’d never taste again
…
Lessons you’re forced to relive
No other is quite as powerful as:
We never lose our demons
We only learn to live above them
Painted in surreal clouds of fantasy
Wherever do you hide, my love
Your luster has dulled with time
…
Malignant spirits, in the dead of night
Seek to unravel the tortured mind
With lips that shimmer of the poison
You swore you’d never taste again
…
Lessons you’re forced to relive
No other is quite as powerful as:
We never lose our demons
We only learn to live above them

the rodent
the years of the rodents
The rats made it to the top of the 14-floor apartment building,
but since no human had yet to move in, there was no food
the rats jumped off the building.
The surviving vermin found their way to Brussels, occupying
all levels of power at the EU headquarters.
Pests have one track mind, unable to see the consequence
of their action, like sawing off the bough, they sit on
closing down of coal mines and nuclear plants in favor of
solar panels and windmills and getting gas
from a country, they have nothing but...
