If I don't make it back. If I fail along the way. If I faint. If I cry.
Then I will let myself fail and I will embrace it.
If I can not surpass my expectations. If I fall. If I break.
Then I will rejoice in the hard work I have put in. I will not let it break me.
I break. But I am not broken.
I fall. But I will not be left on the ground.

I sit here on my bed covered in
flowers
thinking how I'd so much rather be
sleeping
on
yours.

In your flower fields.
In your fragrant mind.
In the pastures of your eyelashes.
In the valleys of the darker circles under
your eyes
your eyes -
that you get when you're tired.

Sleep with me.

Bubble and pop
sweet baby darling
blow
*******, *****
and bring up all the sweet candy corn you can find.

shush and shake sweet honey babe
shush me and taste the shore with the tip of your tongue
can you taste the salt, sugar?
do you feel the rush, daddy?

chew me up like a piece of pink chunky bubble gum
and store me behind your ear.
draw me some cotton candy to munch on
and paint yourself a rocking chair to sit and watch.

*******, babe.
pin me up against the wall and down underneath you
let me be your pinup girl
pull my stockings up
and sit me down on your lap

give me smacks for bad behavior
and leave candy colored crimson smeared across my chin.

oh, sweet baby darling, don't you crave to swallow me whole?

smile and grin and bear it because no one
no
one
wants to see you cry.

to stay or to leave or to cry or to sleep
i should sleep
too many hours thinking
about things
that
will
never
be. could they be could they be daaadddyyyyyyy

but i'm a dreamer and i see butterflies in your burns
and i see halos in your hurt
am i lying
i'm not
very good at
that.

**** daddy with a tight grip around my
neck your
neck purple is an offensive color
yet we both wear it
so well.

smearing lust across your thighs and
slapping pink across my skin it's my color
can't you tell sweet babe can't you tell
pink is my color
can't you
tell
sweet
baby darlin

in you i trust
we have more than lust

oh and
mr king


am i in trouble for my attitude?

Tactile
tattoo touch
feel my ink (touch me)
dig in deep (hurt me)
chills (make me moan)
luxuriously lifted

Shh stay quiet
don't let anyone
in.

Cat scratches
claw marks and
old souls
you and I

plagued and incessant
goodbyes
just as we said our hellos.

Shall we leave it at that or prolong this passion
because I'm a selfish *****
but a lovely babe

licking up your spine
and misplacing the remnants of time
tugging at the hair on your head
trying to find my way to the depths of your mind.
