I will get
A solid rest
I'm very dumb
I must confess
For loving you
I did my best
I'm the bigger
Idiot
Who came undressed
You seduced me
With lemonade
And charm
But now these veins
They die with harm
I'm not yours
No more little man
I'm simply me
A better plan
So look forward
To what you'll taste
You had a good girl
You made me waste.
I strip down and look in the mirror.
I see your mark everywhere.
The scars you put on my body
And the scars you put on my soul.
The scars I made with my own hands.
All these scars that carved a hole
In me, unfillable abyss.

Then my eyes trace familiar lines
From the crows feet at my cheeks
And I can't help but stare
At the genetic inheritance
You left to me.
These angled ****** planes and
Auburn highlighted hair
Are all I have left of you.
My last mementos.

The longer I stand with my scars in the mirror,
The more the pain becomes real.
The more times I trace the last of you in my face,
The smaller the imprint of your touch on me becomes.

The double-edged sword of reality:
You hurt me,
You raised me,
You hated me,
But I think you also loved me.

Confusion first swirls
Then quickly fades.
For none of that matters now does it?

All I know is you're gone
And that's now what's real.
And I miss you
And that too is a fact.

Poetic T
She was one of the little ones, but grew
Over ancient times, her wings were
A beauty to behold with a
Raven,
Onyx,
Shimmer
With hints of crimson red that delicately bled
Patterns of shadows death.
Her veins glistened in luminosity,
Ever corrupted was this purity of light.
For she would upon a nail graze upon her finger
Her vein bled. And into the wind would
White butterflies search out innocence
Landing upon purities skin.
Blackened,
Flesh,
Tainted
With the kiss of a butterflies touch, and
The blossom of her wings flew upon the breeze.
All that were graced with translucent butterflies.
Fell in to the blooms sickness,  hallucinogenic
Madness of butterflies maroon wings bled.
Flourishing in the mind, bleeding eyes
Caressed by her wings of death.
Always her anger towards those who
Forgot,
Disbelief,
Neglect
The thought of a winged expectation. With but
A thought another's wings did crumble into dust and
From heavens wonder did do many fall.
The wings bled more angelic death,
For those unbelievers were to breathe last breath.
She had cradled her sister as wings fell to ash,
Each was but a laughter now soaked in tears.
Fear her, for those who she hears disbelieve. For with another wing
Clipped another hundred of those know of man have fallen still .
escaping shuddering city voices,
lights that sank my salty eyes,
searing,
long oriented by starlight,
today lost in lurid skies.

lake waves,
anxious to be heard,
violently gasping, crashing whispers,
restless,

under moonlight,
corrupted hope,
of names last sung,
long ago.

When a rain-storm surprised the city
Passers-by looked down with pity
At a large group of nutters
Inspecting the gutters
An unfortunate planning committee.

They decided today was good timing
Below-streets they soon were climbing
Where the gutters connect
To the sewers they checked
And all got a very good sliming.
Who can resist a little limerick action?

I swung on the hangman's noose
Feeling the too and fro of others
Moments of death, were my fingers
Gracing a moment of chocking silence.

My digits were decorating a moment
As if my grip was still around the spirt
Of a clutching oblivion that gasped
On tightened desperation.

I swung for a while till my fingers lost
Feeling like that of breath losing life,
Silent was my motion and then I was still.
I left it swinging a circle of life gracing death.
