went insane
Ruby Nemo Jan 2019
it's this addiction that's hurting me
when I know what I want
and I can't even stop myself from
succumbing to my own twisted reality.

I'm looking for a savior
to pull me out of this eternal tunnel
and they'll say that I'm settling
and they'll say I can do better
there must be something wrong with me,
a cloud that partially blinds me,
because I just don't see it that way.

maybe I don't want a soulmate
someone I'll wear to the bone
with false promises of devotion.

maybe I'm looking for a slave
someone who will never leave me
with the hopeless desires I hold captive.

this addiction destroys all comfort
all sense of security
and removes any conscious thoughts
that I believed I still possessed.

Mind to Mind
Ruby Nemo Sep 2019
Resist the shallowness that consumes you
I guess we never thought it could be you
The sky blankets gray, My Father
He is weary and distressed
I miss the sun and its selfless delight
I miss my home and the comfort of the night
I miss your arms around my little waist
I need your love, or mine will go to waste

I wish I could say
I wasn't obsessed
but my life is too old to be mine
wither and worn, each day feels
like I've already lived it
years and years ago

this body of mine
like a shell made of wire
a sheet of remiss
over indifferent bliss

I can notice the blood
running from his lips
he was biting his tongue
for the silent dismiss

Ow, don't hurt me
Ruby Nemo Jun 2018
funny how it changes
how once, feet hurried past
minds thought no thoughts
about one another
and my sister would marvel and tell me about it
and all I saw
was the product of a stable past
and many girls I knew.
how, now, this face has been paired with a name for you
and the rumors you might have heard are true
and we know what it feels like to give
some loving attention to an otherwise dreary relationship.
as I sit outside in my chair in the sun
it's slightly funny how this thing was begun.

Until I Dream of You
Ruby Nemo Jan 2019
and I'll stay asleep until I dream of you
or until you decide to
speak to me like you used to
I don't want to lose you
so I'll stay asleep until reality bends
and we'll make amends
among the clouds

I'll blame myself repeatedly
until you show me how to be
more like you
I'd like to be more like you

I'll hate myself for things I've done
but baby, believe me
you are the only one
the only one

I'll force myself to sleep all day
until the pain goes away
the sun and the moon interchange
not really, for me, it's all the same
everyday, everything's all the same
you made me complete
I tore us apart
I'll slip into darkness to fight my heart.

Sluts
Ruby Nemo Aug 2018
ashamed for an irritable disposition
your queen has her hand high
and you don't know what it's like
to be condemned
