The body breaks

But the soul is infinite potential

The heart bleeds with pain

But the soul flows with boundless love

The brain tricks and fears

But the soul speaks honestly and safely

The eyes see good and evil

But the soul sees everything as whole and faultless

The body is not holding the soul

But the soul holds the body in its immeasurable potential...

Life is a montage

Memories floating in and out

Random words and carefully chosen songs bring colors then black.

Texas Sun

Crawfish and Tears

Turtle in a Dirty Bathroom

Beer and FUCK in the church

Brother snaps then takes a nap

Stories and tight hugs

Cigarettes and Coronas

I keep looking for you to ask questions like “where’s the bathroom and where’s the trash can and bottle opener?”

I’m gaspin...

I left a candle burning

Maybe it will burn down to nothing

Or maybe it will light a curtain ablaze

Starting with the living room then creeping it’s way into our bed

Lighting the sheets on fire

Then our skin

Seep into our veins

Warming our blood until it bursts on the floor

Melting the walls, collapsing the roof

Breaking every object we thought was important

Forcing us to start anew...

My anxiety is a ghost

A dead thing following me around,

Poking my insides

It taps the back of my skull,

Seeping in my memories

It makes me feel hot and heavy, then cold and small

It’s quiet and roaring at the same time

It reminds me that I’m alive with its pulses, then wishes me dead forever

It says my name then grasps my throat

It advises me of its presence while making me feel so alone

I hope...

Feeling everything is hard

Tiring and painful

Don’t let them make you feel bad about your sensitive soul

It’s just another thing for you to carry

Let them be annoyed by how much you feel

They would crumble without your empathy

They would feel so alone and scared without your presence

Grabbing their every vibration...

Whatever you do

Go through it

Swim through it

Skip through it

Stroll through it

Run through it

Claw through it

Crawl through it

Whatever you do

Don’t

You

Dare

Sink through it

Because the only way out

Is through it...

I fucking hate you

I don’t know what to do

You make me crazy

What can I say that’s true

Resentment builds

Like a volcano about to erupt

I will push it down

Deep deep and shut it up

First comes love, then marriage

No white horse, no carriage

Forgiveness lies deep within

Right there,

With the lies,

and the sin...

Hard and fast

Euphoric and frightening

Your love is like an arrow … laced with poison

Thrilling and dangerous

Certain and confusing

Your love is like an arrow … laced with poison

Forever changed and forever the same

Grey but never black

Shot in the brain and dripping with false pleasure

Your love is like an arrow … laced with poison

Lust and power, not love at all

Your lust is like an arro...
