I love
EMD Dec 2017
I don’t care where you been
You’re still mine
And I love you

No matter how long you took
You’re still mine
And I love you

Your mind is like a flower
Still struggling to bloom
And I still love you

No matter how damaged
Or how desperate
I still love you

You are my everything
My always
And I still love you

Tired
EMD Dec 2017
I am tired of this
I am tired of you
I am tired of him
I am tired of her
I am tired of that
I am tired of them
I am tired of people who pretend
I am tired of life
I am tired of deaths
I am tired of black
I am tired of white
I am tired of being awake
I am tired of sleeping
I am tired of dreams
I am tired of nightmares
I am tired of not sleeping
I am tired of having too much else to think about
Most importantly:
I am tired

Master carver
EMD Dec 2017
Master carver
Master carver
Carve me a smile
Carve me a lie
That I might be happy

Master carver
Master carver
Carve me a frown
Carve me a truth
That I may die alive

A letter to my friend
EMD Dec 2017
And sometimes you will want to cry
When all that is left is goodbye
Because you can’t see beyond with
Those tear stained eyes
You can’t see to the future
That some goodly things will come on by
You see, goodbye is not all bad
The pain and memories will pass
You can pick yourself up
You can carry on
Because, even though there is pain
Pain is what makes you strong
So when pain is gone
You fear you will be weak
But know
That no matter what was taken from you
No one can take your strength

Doves
EMD Dec 2017
Two pale *******
Like perfect white doves
Perched
Beneath her collarbone
And above her heart
On top of her her ribs

Two pale *******
Like perfect white doves
Who’s wings have been
Tacked
To some man’s wall

Two pale *******
Like perfect white doves
Trapped
In a cage
Of corsets and cloth
And bone

Two pale *******
Like perfect white doves
And a matching
White flower
Stained
Red by lust

Sometimes
EMD Dec 2017
Sometimes
I have theses
Thoughts

Sometimes
I have these
Desires

They flicker
Through my mind
Like the wings of a malevolent bird

Twisting
And bending
Breaking me

Forming
And reshaping
Turning into

Something
Even worse
Tearing me up

Twisted lovers
EMD Dec 2017
Just as the dove
And the crow
Cannot lie together
The same bird
Of a different feather

Just as the mantis
Cannot stay
With his tender mate
The same creature
Of a different fate

His
EMD Dec 2017
His
His eyes dance
Like rivers

His hands move
Like trees

His voice sings
Like wind

His mouth tastes
Like water

His skin feels
Like home

His love (however) burns
Like warmth (destruction)

— The End —
