Circles.
Running green, running black, running
Endlessly.
Life.
Birth, disease, old age,
Death.
Energy- that has always existed
Forever existing.
Time.
An unfathomable attempt to organize
This unharnessable chaos.
And its all so perfectly under control in that way.
Intelligence-
Well how does one really measure that
From an infinite scale of ignorance?
Also, what is knowledge?
What is real?
Who or what am I,
And how do I express or communicate anything...
Words.
The never ending brain stopper-
Heart throbbing chokehold.
By voice,
Ink,
Or engraved within some material substance,
It all is so constantly  perplexing...
But sometimes they sound so eloquent,
When embraced within consecutive junction.
But both my brain and chest,
Including the heart it cradles,
Are beckoning to burst at the edges,
And tear through their seemed borders
Like thin metal ripping through dead scar tissue.
Feels like scraping at all the useless flesh,
And cutting down to the core-
The soul-
Until I can carve myself into something real.
This world is coated in a thick lining of *******,
And we're all just gagging and choking
On the words we repress,
For fear of speaking our minds.
Say something ******* real for once-
Spit it,
Scream it,
Or however you wanna get it out, but just let that **** go.
And don't try to sound like someone you're not.
Because only you have
Your
Voice.

Hesitation.
Poetic thoughts to merely strangle an
Otherwise undeveloped expression.
Chaos- dripping profusely from an
Endless flow of illusion.
Imagination? Is this real?
But the good is
SO
Good...
Inspiration.
Claw at the temptation to be
Different.
Something else.
Real.
Because maybe then reality
Could actually make some sense.
But still can't get over the thrill
Of existence
Being nonexistent.
Because it's
So ******* good
To feel unreal.
Why should anything matter-
When nothing is affecting
Anything.
But, knowing, knowledge-
That **** is scary.
Because how can anyone know?
Jesus Christ, the "nothingness" just ******* kills me.
The screaming is melting my brain tissues
And inside my head is just
Black, static sick of explaining the
Discomfort in my head.
Sick of rambling cheap obscurities-
Verbally littering on this ****** up planet
One "word" at a time.
Who the hell cares??
Because
No one
Cares.
Ignorance is considered cherrishable
Because we don't have the *****
To accept reality-
At least maybe I'm just weak.
So why does it even matter?
Redundance- it gets so ******* old.
Feel like something fresh-new-breathable
Could expand at least an experience or two.
Yet it gets so catchy to
Rage warfare on one's self.
****, cause the taste
Is exceptionally harsh.
Texture is only an effect based on perception.
Still, everything is in
Retrograde inversion,
Like my old composition homework assignments-
Only less classy,
And without genius direction.
**** the misunderstanding, man.
That **** will mess with your mind.
But I am in love
With hating to feel,
And everything in between and
Opposite that.
And I couldn't explain anything,
To even give you an idea of what its like.

[It's possibly worth noting that I was highly intoxicated at the time.]
I lay on your chest and caress your soft skin
Kept pressed against my head.
I smell the scent of your sweet sweat and
Feel the chill of your warm breath on the back of my neck.
I let myself relax and don't ask what's on your mind
Cause I know what's on mine is so, completely different.
So instead of a question I could answer myself
My fingertips lightly trickle across each rib to your hips
While my lips skim your collarbone with a kiss
And then form the silent words
"I love you."
I don't even whisper cause I know you're listening to each breath,
And I bet if I would've said it, you would've left again.
Like when we made love a half hour ago,
You had me panting and pinned to the floor
While we just layed there- connected.
I could feel your heart beat against mine
And the beautiful pulse sent ripples of euphoria throughout
My entire body.
I wanted to tell you then, too, but didn't wanna lose the moment.
I had to blink back hot, stinging tears from flooding my soft, confused eyes because I know
I will lose you. Again.
It's just a matter of time now.
I hold you closer to me, and wanna plead, wanna beg
Please don't leave me! Don't break me again!
Just take me! And keep me until
My heart falls apart in your hands!
Then put the pieces back together, kiss them better, and keep them forever.
I wake up beside you and purr Goodmorning while my mouth
Teases your ear with teeth and tongue.
I call you my baby, like a 9 month old habit
That catches on quick after 3 months of cold turkey.
But it still comes natural to me,
And it seems so easy
To just tell you.
And I wish I could say everything...
But things are different now.

Little sea,
Cast me in waters most surrounding
And ring me in kaleidoscope of reef,
Gently waving me home, promising
Deep underwater lands.

Little star,
Guide me in my mission of light,
Turn me toward the green valleys,
The blood streams, the noble orchard
And fruitions of dream.
Dust in the empty portal
Dust in the window seal

Dead flies
decorate
the dark.

Absent.

Where is he?
Absent.

Oh, starling, how are you doing tonight?
This house is burning straight to the ground
And all you can think about
Is that you're "cold now that all the sweaters are destroyed"
"But the embers look beautiful floating by my face."
I guess you took a few too many pills,
And I didn't take quite enough.
It wasn't the flames of justice that engulfed our house.
But it doesn't really matter.
Because that house was not a home.
A home is where I live with someone I love.
So that house was not a home.
Because I didn't love you.
I loved your hips and you ****.
I ****** you and you made me drinks when I got back from work.
I never loved you.
I started the ******* fire to get a rise out of you.
You still don't care.
At least I made you ******* shiver a little.
Like that counts for ****.
Rip me from reality-
Grasp me firmly
In between the fingers
Of existence,
And let me linger
So I can learn what it's like
To lye on the line of life,
And try to appreciate something real.
There is no feeling here-
Just a break of boundaries
Hell bent on Heaven sent mass hysteria.
Some hypnotic toxin blockin' all of the oxygen.
A concrete cranium of no common origin,
Orchestrated the concept of complex,
To correct the crooked in my corrupt head.
Death didn't stutter or hesitate to state
Once the shutters close you won't know
What is to follow.
So hollow yourself-
Allow it.
Now it's this abyss again
The same place I was always in
Never left, guess the consequences are endless.
Infinite possibilities.
Thrilling me chillingly,
Willingly, I am who I wanna be.
Cause I'm free.
Because I get free.

I remember as a child
I wanted a nightlight because the darkness was frightening and forbidding
But then you showed me that there are more terrifying things than darkness

I remember as a child
I used to pull the covers up at night glaring at the closet afraid of the boogey man
My small body would tremble as I waited in the darkness…certain that an ominous presence was watching
But then you taught me that there are things more evil than the boogie man
… and they don't hide in closets

I remember as a child
Walking in the rain and the sight of a small slug, slimy and slick on the sidewalk was enough to paralyze me in disgust
But then I was left alone with you and I discovered that there are things much more disgusting than a slug

You left me in the dark with no light switch
You taught me to watch for monsters in the daylight
You held my face so I couldn't escape
You were the thief in the night stealing from me what I didn't know I had
Robbing me of the entitlement of innocence, feelings of safety and trust

Labeled a "survivor",
You left your oppressive sun burning in my sky
But at least I'm not afraid of the dark anymore
