Standing tall and proud like a dismantled cork screw;
Night creeps ever so quietly to undo 
My already brittle attempts
Of a throne stitched out of 
Empty wine bottles;



How I carry my intoxicated body 
Through another meaningful day
Fabricated by my own lust of a purpose 



I dance in circles around my own dreadful ambition
Spent endless night falls talking to your very disappearing apparition,
Woven flower crowns around my head 
Incase you need any more proof
Of my unconditional, but yet buried, adolescent heart



Permanently stained lips like dark Merlot; my breath reeks of all the desolate
Reasons of my own pitiful calamity, the sun forgives my weary weakness but yet
The moon rises every single night to remind me of
My own red pigmented destruction 




Lest I ever forget about my ruinous origins; a duplicate of a fate
That was set out before my birth was ever a landmark
To begin with, 














I fall asleep to the song of
Of my own agonizing cricket
Of a heart;

never restful,
Only a repetition 
Of my past






 As hard as I try 

And oh boy, do I try

To give birth to a life

That is not tarnished by

Loss

But there is a dove

That beats its shattered wings

Against my ribcage

To the sound of my 

Own bitter drought

Treacherous the morning light
Burns against my skin; awaken from my
Painful slumber 
Like a thief in the night,
I tiptoe meekly around the crevices
Of your heart; sizing up the gaping holes
In which to lay my palms to rest

I don't want your love
I just want to sleep,


I'm your funny mistake
You're stuck in my teeth,


Words made of glass
Mouth full of cuts,



The past sells too cheap,



Me in rubbish heaps,




Sorry on your lips
Kiss me till I weep,



Vision gets too blurry
When i think of it 
Too deep



She makes you cum
But I make you forget
I love too fast
You fuck too slow



Remnants of your cologne
On the back of my throat,
I gag on the taste
I try not to choke 



Fireworks remind me
Of gunshots and now
I can't sleep



Dancing with my grief
Until you remember me



Born without a shell,
Never held too much,
I'd break too fast 



Chains tied to my feet 
Or else i'd float away




Shoot me twice in the head,
Need the lead to 
keep me down to earth




Lungs made out of cotton;
Choke every time you breathe



There is a place
I can take you there
If you just follow me



No real sense of self
Dissociate in the mirror
Put your hand through it




Hug the walls
To stay solid


Hug you
To remember
What it's like
To just
be



I spit, and you swallow,
What is left of me









 


Lost Letters to back home;




The skies are dangerously open over here, 
They seem to stretch out instead of swallow you in 
And I thought that was better 
Until I stepped out of the airport back in
October

 Should have left our love

In the gutter where we found it,

Instead of planting flowers

And hoping for the best,
