To My Greatest Love
You will forever be my greatest love,
and my greatest heartbreak.
I never wanted to leave you—
or that crying boy,
alone.
How I wish I could’ve wiped
every tear from your youth,
if I were your mother,
I would’ve loved you endlessly.
We would’ve wandered through museums,
watched every art show,
and I would’ve read to you every night.
I would’ve taught you that beauty is in the beholder,
but even when we can’t see it,
it’s everywhere,
in everything,
and everyone—...
and my greatest heartbreak.
I never wanted to leave you—
or that crying boy,
alone.
How I wish I could’ve wiped
every tear from your youth,
if I were your mother,
I would’ve loved you endlessly.
We would’ve wandered through museums,
watched every art show,
and I would’ve read to you every night.
I would’ve taught you that beauty is in the beholder,
but even when we can’t see it,
it’s everywhere,
in everything,

Sticky
Bullseye
One dart, two dart, three
Your fat, fucking moon pie face
Looks good
Decorated with the bloody entrails
Of my justified rage
Hey bartender
Pass me another Crown
We got a glutton for punishment
She won’t back down
What say you?
That’s the bathroom mirror
Fuck
Me
One dart, two dart, three
Your fat, fucking moon pie face
Looks good
Decorated with the bloody entrails
Of my justified rage
Hey bartender
Pass me another Crown
We got a glutton for punishment
She won’t back down
What say you?
That’s the bathroom mirror
Fuck
Me

hands~
I recognize you
So delicately
By the sight of your hands
Memories tease my brain
Of fingertips tracing my every curve
I told you I hated them
So you pulled them closer to you
Tangling us into one
To feel every scar
Caused by prior wounds and broken skin
You loved them
I could never wrap my head around that
To be admired for the things that kept me up at night
Violent depictions for me
Were glimpses that made your voice shake
Hips that fit...
So delicately
By the sight of your hands
Memories tease my brain
Of fingertips tracing my every curve
I told you I hated them
So you pulled them closer to you
Tangling us into one
To feel every scar
Caused by prior wounds and broken skin
You loved them
I could never wrap my head around that
To be admired for the things that kept me up at night
Violent depictions for me

Unwritten On
I watched the rain
dropping down on leaves,
cleansed from dirt,
coated with sheer varnish,
and I wished my sorrows
could be as easily washed away.
I held soap in my hands,
and wondered how many
scrubs I still need
to feel unwritten on
from the stains of memories.
So I went for walks whenever it rained,
to purge my body and soul,
and laved over and over
to undo what had been done.

I hate surprises
Oh, don't give me
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.

Everything is just the same
Time flies by, so rather quick
Everyday repeats itself, week after week
Relentless agony, when nothing awaits
Maybe one day life will smile at you
Stuck in the middle without progression
Only you can guide yourself out of there
You can create another world, all in your mind
In solitude you will find
in your head everything is better than you'll ever be
Life is seldom fair
It leads you to despair
After every uphill
You will descend
You can hide from your fears
to avoid all the pain
but never get to...
Everyday repeats itself, week after week

in your head everything is better than you'll ever be
Life is seldom fair
It leads you to despair
After every uphill
You will descend
You can hide from your fears
to avoid all the pain
but never get to...

It's Always About You
I see demons in the corners of my eyes.
Maybe it's just the reflections from the tears I won't let fall.
I'm seeing things I swear,
But they all say I'm not keen to supernatural beings.
I lie and say that doesn't bother me,
But my chest was ripped apart,
Because one day I swore I saw you,
And I can't live with knowing you're really gone.
Your home is cold, and it waits for you,
But there's something even colder that waits for you,
She rots and writes poems for a ghost that she knows will never return.
Maybe it's just the reflections from the tears I won't let fall.

But there's something even colder that waits for you,

you're just a stain, not a picture
You walk in
get under my skin
come on, manipulate me, boy
My soul still crawls with the memories
of when you tried to take a bite
how did I taste, boy?
was it fucking worth it?
how does shame feel, now, boy?
has it been so long you forgot?
Did you want to break me?
(I think you wanted to break me)
'cause you didn't break me
I've been murdered
by more skilled lovers than you
and your memory is more
of a shit stain
than a tortured work of art
You walk in
get under my skin ...
get under my skin
come on, manipulate me, boy
My soul still crawls with the memories
of when you tried to take a bite
how did I taste, boy?
was it fucking worth it?
how does shame feel, now, boy?
has it been so long you forgot?
Did you want to break me?
(I think you wanted to break me)
'cause you didn't break me
I've been murdered
by more skilled lovers than you
and your memory is more
of a shit stain
than a tortured work of art
You walk in

Sanctuary
You move like a hymn I have forgotten,
half-remembered prayers slipping through my teeth.
There is silence where your name used to be,
a hollow space where devotion once bloomed.
I kneel in the ruin of what we were,
palms open, waiting for rain—
but the sky does not answer,
and neither do you.
Was I a temple you abandoned,
or a ghost you let haunt the walls?
Somewhere, your voice is still echoing,
soft as a tide that never comes back.
I swore I’d leave, I swore I’d burn it all down,
but your shadow is stitched...
half-remembered prayers slipping through my teeth.
There is silence where your name used to be,
a hollow space where devotion once bloomed.
I kneel in the ruin of what we were,
palms open, waiting for rain—
but the sky does not answer,
and neither do you.
Was I a temple you abandoned,
or a ghost you let haunt the walls?
Somewhere, your voice is still echoing,
soft as a tide that never comes back.
I swore I’d leave, I swore I’d burn it all down,
but your shadow is stitched...

It Is What It Is
What’s my next move?
I’m scared to dip my toe,
Petrified of every step,
Afraid of what I’ll never know.
But it’s necessary,
I can’t stay in your shadow,
There’s more to life than what you gave,
I need to find it, to let go.
My heart hurts, whether you see or not,
But let’s not dwell in all the ugly,
I won’t point fingers, or play the violin,
No, I owe no one an explanation.
If they ask, I’ll simply say—
It is what it is, and nothing more,
No excuses needed, not...

Runaway
So you want to run away, then go, I won’t stop you, you said. I was no older than six or seven. I rose, walked to that door— I knew, somehow, this was not home.
My little brother trailed behind, and I, with stubborn heart, set off to find the parents who’d left us behind. Love was a distant thing, but I was determined to find it, even if they never gave it.
I dragged the dog along, his paws stumbling in the dust. The gate loomed, larger than anything I had ever seen— but I pulled it open, the metal stick unlatching and with it, I felt the surge of freedom. ...

My living dead girl
She is pain, she is cruel, she is suffering, she is my creation.
She was kind, she was loving, she was perfect, and now she is dead.
Brought back and pieced together she is whole but never complete
for it was I that killed her and so that burden weighs heavy on me.
Now like a mad man I look for answers to a puzzle with missing pieces.
She is unaware of her death, mislead to believe she is as she should be
unbound with undying confidence her ego rots her away from the inside.
Still I drown in every moment spent with her as if living a lie one second at a...
