in still moments
i realize i feel
nothing for you
and my chest falls softly
and my eyelids flutter
into an unparalleled sleep,
where your fingertips
are washed away
by the gentle tears of rain
and i sleep
just sleep

it won't always be this way
a bath of ice
and cold
fingertips
blue lips.
there's gotta be a fire burning within us
some
where

when a boy wants your body
kick him in the mouth
make him bleed a torrent of red
and watch the fear flow out of you
into him
then leave, button up your shirt,
tell yourself you cannot be burned,
and light that ******'s
house on fire.

we are impossible beings
with meat scrap hearts
rope burned tongues.
life drones on in this weary sort of
sonata
beautifully sad,
a whining violin with empty chords.
bedrooms frighten me
because
its just do this
and then hands are scraping around in my pants.
this type of thing becomes normalcy
and the thunder roars and i can hear your
******* throat screeching
at me from darkened rooms with
broken ceiling fans.

eyes like acid drops
i want to float in an ethereal
light where
colors meld together like melting metal
and this cold blue inside me
could be white hot and burning
instead of empty and confusing
an ice age of yearning.
what is this thing where
we are supposed to become somebody,
18 and no heart to beat,
how do you know what bills to pay
and **** i'm going to college where i have to do coin laundry
but my fingers aren't even working.

darling i'm a lonely heart,
an ice queen ******* down
cigarettes
slitting my wrists to jazz
and watching my soul crumble
like castle walls
thinking about a stranger
whose hands id like to hold

my days become calendar boxes
fitting each miserable heart break
between the times of
2 am until unblinking eyes
muster up the courage to open the blinds
and the morning starts over again
where i tend to forget
that you think i'm a monster
with a ribcage full of blizzards.
you see, the sun fills my
consciousness with a mirage
where i am a broken mouth
numbed on nova cane      
and the pain is a dull thud that
can fade into the background
until the darkness blankets my psyche
in a silent cocoon
and your horror film scars
throb along my skin.
