I am made entirely of flaws and stitched together with good intentions
because my mother begged at the altar of my father’s rejections
bearing her claws and fighting tooth and nail to find cure to our infections
without fighting for her own she stuffed me and my sister with her imperfections
forcing us to be better and stirring us up in the biased direction
so we wouldn’t have to fear or maybe di...
My arms lifted through the phone
Sweet scented things you’ll never send
Oh
Is it that obvious to you
Is it not that easy to pretend
My mattress has a memory foam topper
Leaving me in sea foam
Like Aphrodite birthed from the sea
When she is surrounded by the gentle, does she feel home?
Voices sing me straight to sleep
My soul has always been a task to keep
Keep me warm and soft and I might pretend ...
Ask and you shall receive
The door will be open to you
But the screws in my throat leave lines and spirals
And the thread on my lips leaves me wishing instead of whistling
Arms are more constricted by vines
so much so i cannot sign
How the bedlam holds me tightly
No requests for help are fine
Sewn shut so that I may be an embarrassment to myself
The door slams
The hand takes
And closed mouths don’...
Staring down
I want to touch you
Little tickles
Larger burns
Round and round
but I'm not spinning
Drag you round
to me you turn
sorry you must
see my flare ups
sorry that I make you melt
Do you think the sun gets lonely
Don't you think its common sense
Once A day I get to face you
Luna's too far to be friends
orange and bitter
too up close
rays of sun
you handle most
i don't feel you reaching up

I was just trying to be what you wanted
drive on the right side of the road for once
make the arrangements with the flowers you wanted
take you to spend the quality time
red haired heads knock against each other
and every dream is so much harder to reach
i wanted to feel you but your eyes looked somewhere else
i’m happy i caught one of your good mornings
and my soul was beautiful...
So whos going to die today
will be taunted by the physical
not remembering the spiritual
making mental notes lamentable
Who's going to die after a
wrong turn at the restaurant
An unplugging of life support
an overdose on lifes "support"
who is going to pass away
sadly, at the hands of another
slowly, in the arms of a brother
is it ugly that I wonder
who is going to die today?...
Hold my hand
We go steady
Hold my face as if it were gold
Leave my eyes at your blue stone cold
Burn my clothes off with words alone
Flip me off
Kiss my cheek
Tell me I'll age well when I'm old
Feed me friendships and maybe more
Let them beat me 'till theres no more
Say you love me
Give me time
Give me space that I don't deserve
Say you want me, its uncontrolled
But your eyes in a rose I hold
Give...
Could it be more true?
as I profess my heart
Laying it gently on the ground
and you graze with your fingertips
a plum red staining your nails
underneath those fresh and thin white tips
Let my offering be enough for you
please let's not forget
how hard it is to live without a heart
Your eyes pierce me
as you place my beating
bleeding
ticker on the scale
and I pray for a moment
you deem it lighte...
