South-by-Southwest
I sometimes can feel
your mental embrace
through all these miles of thought

Even a faint wisp of breath
there upon my face
i've caught

And my lips can almost touch
your kiss even in this separation
of all our time and space

We fight and you demand
I fight back and take a stand

But in the end I surrender
all of me to you

Because I know
I am nothing now
without the hand of you

I'll never see you,
And I think I know how the sun must feel about the moon

You live on in my head,
Like a tumor I cannot excise.
Or refuse to.
I can't tell anymore.

Funny how nobody ever truly leaves,
They become ghosts,
Animated by regret, goodwill, love, jealousy, pettiness
Muffled by distractions, dates, girlfriends, ***.

Please, just let me be.

Armed with empty sentiment and kindness
Sharing just enough to weaken defenses
A whiff of insecurity
And trust disintegrates
With one swift blow

My little dead sisters,
the wind thrashes about me
and scatters your sun faded ribbons.
A Love In Tokyo
dangles from a tree branch.
Pretty pastel drawings,
and giggle written post it notes,
pasted all over everything.

What is the value of laughter,
how can a memory be sold
for a moment of peace
that sneaks off, when you aren't looking,
and leaves behind
the melancholy remains
of all my little dead sisters.

My worst nightmare.*
The nightmare I met,
That I fell for,
The hole that I voluntarily
Fell head-first into without thinking.

Whether asleep or awake,
The note sung at the right pitch,
To wake me up, eating me from
The inside, converting me slowly,
Conquering my life with thy many names,
Raising your flags within my heart.

A being that can take many forms,
Whether real, or imagined;
Whether evil, or a blessing, to
Pull at the feelings of which I crave,
The storm of emotion will I chase
To balance the internal scale of pain,
Suicidal versus insane.

I aim,
To capture you in all six senses,
Wanting to have you beyond
My ****** form:

Whether it'd be the desire,
To be shrouded in a clad of romance
Tempted by the touch of your skin,
The smell of your perfume,
Plunging myself into the stars of your eyes.

Whether it'd be the addiction
To have you call my name,
The slight taste of need
From you will awaken me,
Even from Death.

I will die
Soon, whilst you define my life. So
Take yourself away from me:
For I'd rather die under the pressure
Of reaching for the unattainable
Instead of being haunted by you,
Forever, always and after.
Oh frustrations, frustrations.

you
in darkness regret follows
in darkness anger follows
hollow within
without breath
silence
betrayed by an angel as beautiful as the sun, stars and heavens
too blind to see the light
battling for freedom
awakening
leaving darkness behind

im really good at suffocating

i have lots of practice

swallowing my words

but choking on the sounds


now i need to practice

getting my voice out

instead of warring with myself

about when and where and what to say

you played me like your favorite instrument
and plucked out all the joy from my life

at first, we lived in harmony
but then you destroyed a part of me

we said no strings attached
but now I'm tied in knots

we said we'd try and improvise
but ended up telling all those lies

you amplified your complaints
and struck me with a beat

even though we ended on the wrong note
our lyrics still get caught in my throat

All I want is for someone
Anyone to understand
The sturrings of my soul
They seem fine when the sun is shining from my  eyes
But when my darkness returns
Nothing but silence and escape

I feel like I'm suffocating in a room full of people but no one can see that I'm dying
and no one knows how to save me and I can't tell them because I've lost the ability to breathe
so I'm left gasping for air that I just can't seem to find
and I'm left struggling to get help that only I can offer

Words blur
Eyes burn
Thoughts implode
Melting under molten memories
The day I stopped being Her
82615
Nothing has changed for me
Nothing is the same for you

Waiting to be told how much less I will ever be.

But my forever rings true.
Never again to share to the depths of myself
For it was spied once and I became mortal
Dying more with each breath
Tortured worse by each moment
Knowing I am just another girl
And you are the best part of who I am
