 Dec 2014 coyote
Circa 1994
Slipping away
Or never really mine in the first place.
I can make plans.
I could.

Look at this!
Watch me flail for attention
With the grace of a beached whale!

More free time,
But it'll cost me.
And I've got no limbs left to spare.

My innards become outtards
As you twist my flesh between greedy fingers.
I'm a distraction.

I'm always here
When your plans fall through.
Our plans always fall through
When you come across something better.

I know we can mesh,
But at the moment all I feel is distress.
I want my boyfriend.
I miss the infinite bliss.
Maybe it's me.
Maybe I'm poison.
**** me out
And spit me.

she's clawing out her eyes
to see that you were
never there to begin with

Tread with caution
You are not in a dream
I have felt the rose vines growing along the walls of your soul
They cannot hold back the blistering rays of tomorrow’s sunrise
You, the harbinger of tranquility and silence
The shadow that heal the wounds of unfulfilled remembrance
You, who is still pure in a world that is tainted,
The essence of every ode that has ever truly been recited
Find the place where darkness subsides
Conceal yourself among the silhouettes
Bury yourself among the ruins
Mask yourself with the ashes of the fallen
But don’t let the lifeless hands of reality find you
Sorry, I'm not "little miss sunshine"--
I'm lip locked with cynicism and
having an affair with my goodbyes.
Can  you taste the sarcasm

I won't speak out of term
This pain sealed within I will hide
Just to make you happy, just to keep the peace

I will not show weakness
These tears  I shed, I'll hide from the world
This I do to show you strength, to appease you

I will not rebel
This poet and artist will remain to the shadows, dormant from all
Just to not catch your sinister eyes
Just to not be hated

I will not be happy
This homosexual will remain dead
Just to not cease to exist
Just to be noticed

This life I will not cherish
I'll seal the casket to fall asleep
Just to escape the searing pain that you give
Just to at atast, obtain peace
