The Death that Obeys our Hearts
Upon highest waters,
Where the currents match our tears,
We were once in arms, tragic and long
Like the moon with its great form,
Bleeding newness into night,
So that the sun may greet the pale
With its roaring hues.
All I feel,
Is this fiery pain,
While a grave sleeps beside me,
It had started before me,
And now slumbers, continuously.
Every gray field
Of any lonely winter,
Makes music upon my old and worn soul.
Women and their hair, like spider’s nests,
Men and their ambitions, to Hell and back, ...
Where the currents match our tears,
We were once in arms, tragic and long
Like the moon with its great form,
Bleeding newness into night,
So that the sun may greet the pale
With its roaring hues.
All I feel,
Is this fiery pain,
While a grave sleeps beside me,
It had started before me,
And now slumbers, continuously.
Every gray field
Of any lonely winter,
Makes music upon my old and worn soul.
Women and their hair, like spider’s nests,
Men and their ambitions, to Hell and back, ...

This poem is called Depression
My depression is like a metal chain that's wrapped around my ankles that has been attached to a huge concrete boulder, and someone threw me into the deepest part of the ocean, I am slowly sinking but not going anywhere. I'm just trapped trying to swim up to get a breath of air but I just can't pull the boulder with me. I can't breathe and my lungs burn and the weight of the water crushing my chest, it's unbearable and all I want is for it to end.

My apology tonight
I apologize for being rude. But please try and see it through my eyes. Even just for a second. Literally everywhere I go. I hear the same shit. By people I know and strangers also. It doesn't make u look cool or clever. Especially when your focusing on something that can't be changed. We all have pasts. We've all been bullied. And just in case whoever people represent who cares maybe they give each individual a chance. It doesn't mean they're having sex. Maybe its just conversation. Maybe people are not out to wreck a relationship or whatever.
I present myself as myself. I don't...
I present myself as myself. I don't...

Empty Tank
I wanted a solution
so I wouldn't keep sinking,
to see disdain around each corner
having done nothing
but to exist,
fuel me up
on love,
I can't run on nothing.
so I wouldn't keep sinking,

Sorry Dad But I just couldn’t hold back
Cause if you and that whore didn’t act so fucking whack I wouldn’t have to think about coming back
The fact is simply I wouldn’t of left so swiftly
And I didn’t leave cause it was chilly
Or for these itty bitty beefs that mean less to me than Petey’s Queefs
You alcoholic bitch you should just frolic
Don’t fuck with this walking Red Burning me
A Victorian in her head
picks on a Bulgarian that’s dead
An doesn’t expect me to see fucking red
That’s my mom you’re calling an “ugly, cunt whore”
I’ll put...

Reflection
I gave you all the love I had
And you threw me away
I thought that we could be together
Until our dying days
Thought we could last
The perfect match
Yet from my grasp
You have been snatched
What did I expect
When the reason we had met
Was because I made a bet
And so soon karma paid its debt
Yet what hurt me the most
Was not your decision to leave
It’s that you faded like a ghost
Until I no longer believed ...
And you threw me away
I thought that we could be together
Until our dying days
Thought we could last
The perfect match
Yet from my grasp
You have been snatched

And so soon karma paid its debt
Yet what hurt me the most
Was not your decision to leave
It’s that you faded like a ghost

I gave you what's mine
I saw you sleeping inside of your frozen coffin
I look at your chest
You were lifeless
One thing is missing
It was your heart
And cannot be brought back
Inside your chest
So i rip out mine
To replace the missing piece
And bring back your time
When you woke up
You gave me the sweetest smiles
tears of joy
Freedom was in your eyes
I think what i did was
The greatest sacrifice
I gave you my life
I gave you what's mine
I look at your chest
You were lifeless
One thing is missing
It was your heart
And cannot be brought back
Inside your chest
So i rip out mine
To replace the missing piece
And bring back your time
When you woke up
You gave me the sweetest smiles
tears of joy
Freedom was in your eyes
I think what i did was
The greatest sacrifice
I gave you my life
I gave you what's mine

Voodoo
Tonight, she's done it again ...
Taken her needle and raised it to the moonlight.
But you felt it didn't you?
Felt it being plunged deep into the hand-woven mess where your heart would be kept.
Felt the pulling in your chest; the longing for her familiarity.
Your head's a little foggy,
and you'd notice why if you'd just build the courage to check the time.
But you won't, and she doesn't blame you.
Her head's a little foggy too.
Your witching hour brought with it a mind full of chaos; a girl on the edge.
So she scraped...
Taken her needle and raised it to the moonlight.
But you felt it didn't you?
Felt it being plunged deep into the hand-woven mess where your heart would be kept.
Felt the pulling in your chest; the longing for her familiarity.
Your head's a little foggy,
and you'd notice why if you'd just build the courage to check the time.
But you won't, and she doesn't blame you.
Her head's a little foggy too.
Your witching hour brought with it a mind full of chaos; a girl on the edge.
So she scraped...

Loneliness
I forgot
what it was like to feel alien,
to feel cut from the city, cast on a barrel, clutching at splinters waiting to sink.
I forgot
what it was like to feel separated,
neither one thing nor the other, not enough rough and not enough power
to charge against the enemy in acts of peace,
rather live in the woods, quiet
surrounded by smoke.
I forgot
what it was like to hear silence
as if it were church bells after mass
humming the delights of the faithful and holy,
while sitting outside
thinking headstones and...

my book on fire
i have a confession to make
i never came here to write
nor read
at least that's what i'm telling myself
i'm here
because winter fell
and i became lost
somewhere i've been before
there's a disarray of clouds
condensing over my mind
so is it a coincidence
that words rain red over me?
here comes echoes of my book
of untold stories
so many thoughts tasted
dreams swallowed
nightmares poured out
i should never read them out loud
but, i'm telling you,...
