I drowned in the sea of melancholy but, I will make sure you reside in my heart eternally

In the summer our love lingered, no thoughts foresaw our future withered.

My eyes blinded me mouth shut my veins cut to bleed my heart out, But your thought in my mind felt like sun’s warmth during wintertime.

Though our hearts, minds and spirits broken I regret the words never spoken, we know our love was never fake.

I cried you wiped the tears of my eyes, the old him ’n’ her died, love molded us every night we spent together

And now I drown in the sea of melancholy my legs caught in sorrow, regret and pain slowly pulled below never to be risen again.

Bleed out of black clouds
So I can drink the rain,
Turn into a tourniquet
So I can salve your pain.

No matter how the tide comes
The blackest skies, take away your shine
Show me the reason I can’t stop
Burning my eyes, watching beauty die
When I can’t stop, burning my eyes

Cut my throat wide
So I can smile again,
Let my soul spill
And paint me as you will.

No matter how the tide comes,
The blackest skies, take away your shine
Show me the reason I can’t stop
Burning my eyes, watching beauty die
When I can’t stop, burning my eyes

I can’t feel my fingers
Tendon’s severed and I feel numb
I can’t lift my fingers,
Picking at the palm at rusted nails,
I can’t stop burning my eyes

Fester like a wound,
Worm escaping the womb,
Burrow deep in the earth
Staring at the sky,
I can’t stop burning my eyes.

Is it in your chemistry?
I wonder as I’m choking down
Tears scorching my throat like an acid rain
Hoping to bleach your name from my recesses
Built a bridge past the swap of your defenses
Tried to massage your heart without pretenses
But you burn me down.

Do you feel anything when you immolate
Everything sets you off like a hair trigger,
Bear trap my mind and clamp down while you drill deeper
Pour in your toxicity like a waste dump
And set it all on fire.
I’ll be the embers to dance at your command.
Ashes drifting like autumn leaves
Snow down in a distance like a winter dream.

Is it in our chemistry?
Do I excite you to ignition
Gods envy the way our bodies friction
But you believe the fiction,
So I’ll weep for an ending,
Burning my nerves as the acid’s etching.
Retching flames like an allergic fire eater
Your conflagration rings around me.

Are you the pallid horseman
Can I be the one to the blow the horn?
I’m weary and ready for an ending
And you burn me like white phosphorus .
Can we mix and tether,
One day coalesce
Solvent in your trepidation
Waters deeper than the ocean.

Is it in your chemistry?

Verse1
I did a juice cleanse the week you went cold
Felt holy, felt haunted, felt thirty-three years old
Kept waiting for hunger but all I felt was rage
Posted poems about birds while I rotted offstage

Lit sage in the kitchen, wore pearls in the bath
Pretended that healing could change what we had
Went dancing on rooftops, then puked in the sink,
then stared in the mirror and tried not to think.

Pre-chorus1
They’ll say I was crazy, dramatic, obsessed
But they didn’t see what you did in that text

Chorus1:
I would’ve stayed through the plot twists and power cuts
Learned your silence, memorized your worst months
Now I sleep like a crime scene, replaying the call
Where you almost said “love you,” then said nothing at all

You said, “Don’t write about me”—I already did
In lipstick and blood and the back of my ribs
You were never safe, but you felt like home
And I’d still pick the lock if I thought you were alone

Verse2
He said, “Don’t cry,” as he pulled off my shirt
And I laughed like that wasn’t the worst part
He said, “You like it when I ruin things”
I said, “Only because you started with me.”

I knew it was bad when I liked how you lie
How your mouth made disasters sound holy and high
You said I romanticize pain till it purrs
I said, “You keep calling it love like it’s yours”

Prechorus2
You said I’m intense—like it wasn’t projection
Like I didn’t watch you detonate every connection

Bridge
You said you were broken, so I stayed and I sewed
You said you were scared, so I softened my glow
We were talking about movies, then death, then dreams
Then you said, “I think love just isn’t for me”

You told me I’m bright, then dimmed all the lights
Called me your mirror, then shattered the rights
Said I was heaven, then sent me to hell
And I still wrote it sweet just so you’d wish me well

Carved out your echo in bathroom tile
Kept praying you’d miss me, then smiled for a while
Still set all the clocks to your birthday at three,
Then swallowed a wish I forgot was for me.

CHORUS (FINAL)
I would’ve stayed through the fallout and frostbite
Sat through your silence like that made it right
Now I sleep like a witness, replaying the call
Where you almost said “love you,” then said nothing at all

You said, “Don’t write about me”—but look what you did
You live in the margins, the bloodstream, the script
You were never safe, but you felt like home
And I’d still pick the lock
Even knowing you're gone

Outro
I did a juice cleanse
And you never came back.
I never got better,
but I glow like I have.

A splintered moon shatters in my eye,
its fragments sinking into the marrow.
Beneath, the earth cracks open,
teeth gnawing at roots that had no names.

My breath is smoke,
dissolving in a throat too old to speak.
Flesh crumbles like ash,
a flame that failed to burn.

A voice calls from the dark,
but it is dust before it reaches me.
I am left—a map of wounds no one can read.

A flame whispers, its voice too soft to scorch but powerful enough to alter the air.Beneath, the earth stirs, roots curling like the breath of the forsaken.
Every step leaves a mark, fading before it brands.
We bear silence's weight, hidden beneath skin-shadows that refuse to yield, flickering in light.

Got blood marks from your love-bites
Smearing from your lipstick
As we dance in neon
We twist in time like contorting aeons
I’m frozen liquid in space like I am freon
Are you oxygen to my carbon?
Cast me in your cast off and we can ignite
Like Nordic fires on our send off
Sent off into the ether I can feel our tether
Pinching in my insides, I’ll reverse
And show you my insides so you can know
What it means to be in me.

We twist like a helix;
Embedding our code
Encrypting our sequence
Cloning our image
As we mix with our matrix,
Become as one again.

She spins me ‘round in a cycle
Cyclone as our minds go
Deeper into this gutter
The walls shiver with what she mutters
With leather cuffs adorned with brushed steel
Catching the dark light like a culture
Exposure to the low light,
We **** like we’re low lives
***** until the dawn breaks, early daylight
Compositing composure in heavy sighs
And our love rivers dripping down her thighs
She’s krypton caught in my orbit
Strike the switch and watch me illuminate
Until we are both enlightened
I’ll show you what it means to be in me.

We twist like a helix,
Embedding our code
Encrypting our sequence
Cloning our image,
As we mix with our matrix,
To become as one again.

The rope slumps—an unstrung throat.
Pills rattle like broken teeth.

The mirror unmouths my name,
gulps me in glass, spits static.

Outside, the city chews its own tongue.
Streetlights pulse like exposed nerves.

I step forward.

Or maybe I don’t.

The night swallows.

Nothing shifts.

Fireflies dance beneath the moonlit sky
Their fiery tails blazing thousands of suns
Flashing in harmonious rhythm
Sung to a song known only to spirits of the forest
Among trees rooting themselves to a verdant chorus
Swaying in soft waltz as the wind caresses green boughs
Groaning under the weight of the starry firmament

<A reflection from above to what is below>

An infinity of dazzling diamonds winking in starlight
Tune themselves to the melody of distant earth
Bathing the world in grey-washed relief as Luna glows
Illuminating the newborn fawn that prances in sync
With his mother’s cautious attention
Her eyes reflecting love in full as the moon veils her young
Beneath the light of midnight

Behind her, a chirping symphony of raucous crickets
Reaches a vibrating crescendo echoing across the land
A ringing accompaniment to the throaty bass of the wayward toad
Whose steady thump excites the prowling fox
Pouncing in a furry pirouette to seize the treble
Of the screeching barn owl that cuts through the night
Spinning in a controlled dive-bomb of deadly talons
Searching for their late-night victim whose screams
Lend lyrics to nature’s masterful play
Weaving life beyond the blinding daylight

In the distance, a lone whippoorwill cries in anguish
As the sun rises and dawn brings an end to his song

Whip
Whip
Whippoorwill
