flames

i've always written about
pieces of you
but there's nothing left to
hold anymore

have you washed away
with the ink?
have you faded between these
same old lines?

i'll burn all these
words
to the ground

just for this little
flame of yours
burning in my palm

september, won't you bring me some rain again?

pity

If all these words you speak,
whisper to me when I'm
broken
and barely breathing

They are sweet on the ears
but bitter when whispered
to myself on nights
when you forget
that I'll never heal
and never breathe

I can't help but -

is that pity?

Depend upon
all these stars in the sky,
all these words you forget you ever said,
all these tears that will never fall past my eyes,

you'll be the one i'll
pity.

i owe you too much.

surrender

sometimes all i see is red
and you with your hands up in
surrender

what do you want?
do you want me to tear
you apart?
is that what you
want?

there are minutes, no hours
of the day when the blood
pumping in my veins is destroying
me by the second

i've already torn myself apart
until the rage gives in to surrender
on my knees
and fists still clenching
still itching to destroy you

for still standing there
with your hands in
the air

stop being my ******* punching bag

Eyes

Sometimes you say
I have oceans in my eyes.
Not once have I thought
That so.

My eyes are thin
And grey;
They are no "silver lining".

The green that lines them
Is not seaweed,
But the mold of a past
Mess.

You have told me my eyes
Are reflective.
But they simply harbor the
Colors of lonely skies
And mismatched loves.

You have described beauty
And freedom
Within my irises.

But I can't see them
Unless there's a layer
Of glass between.

I don't see the oceans.

alive

some nights,
i can feel myself
fade away
like all those words
of yours
i can scarcely remember
when i'm breathing and
alive

can you see right through me yet?

come bail me out of this godforsaken precipice

red

You can rip me open,
Cut me into pieces,
Until all I am is the liquid
life,
the red
you say I share with you

I am nothing like
you.

mommy dearest.

why does falling in love
always
feel
like
falling
off
a
*******

Am I really that wonderful?
