You asked me
where i went
when i
was
blanked out
but shooting anyways
and I just screeched for you to
leave me
dying on the snow.
Set me inside a display case
Lately dear, They've not just been looking.
They've kept their widened blank cold eyes
Contradicting the fire and flames on their
faces, I think I know
Why blood is red
(So leave me dying on the snow, it hurts)
Don't move me. I don't want to go
All you ever said was "Sorry"
But you don't mean it
do you?

The Death of an Insect.
I decided to die
on the wall
Pinned
Pricked
Pretty
Perfect
Pointless
Pathetic
Praying
Prying
That day I choked
On my own hope.
It rose up through my throat
And I decided
To become worthless.
Put a shotgun to my neck,
I threw it up
I threw it out
And all I breathed that day
Was rain rust.
The wavering uncertainty
of the insects screaming for words,
Uncertain of which way and what power
Should they never encounter,
As we stand on living lands
and soar on metaphors.
Oh, the dying blood of the the empty rust,
fulfilling wayward dreams and lust,
We never realize that
We're
All
Murderers.
I am now afraid to lie
I am now afraid to die
Don't tell me that "I told you so"
Don't say I didn't try.
Swallow the razorblade
Swipe the pills through your wrists,
Lay in the air
and cease walking through
water.
I am holding onto the smoke filled
atmosphere
breaking you in half with my
silly world.
We're all slashing away
at the monster inside.
It won't go away so
Dig.
Deeper.
I think I want to set the world on fire,
I want to curl death inside of myself and hug it till it fades.
I want to kill the world, and I want to touch the ashes and breathe phoenixes.
Death, you are mine, and I will make you cough up blood if I have to.

By the skin of your teeth.
I think -
I think, I'm falling out of life,
I think I'm falling out of love,
I think I'm falling with a knife.
I think the field has been scorched.
You know, that kind where butterflies flitter?
The grass is long and a little dry,
Like summer wants to burn us alive,
But love, I am already dead.
I've been autopsied a thousand times
and they found evidence of burnt grass
inside my stomach.
You killed my sense of pure adventure.
You stuck me in a box and gave it locks,
In a pure white room smelling of alcohol and insulin.
You papered me with tiles
and trampled me,
You thought I could not hear.
You thought I would not know.
But I am ever so a

Maybe just a little more?
Not, good,
no, not even a little,
She gritted through her teeth
as she keyed letters into her metallic legs.
She only pretends to shine
in someone else's darkness,
She only pretends that she is not getting sucked in -
Sleep, Crash, Kill -
The night wears on
and her mask begins to wear as well,
Crashing into sleeping pills
and falling into oceans,
She promised herself
that she'd never wake up again.
She never wants to feel the breath of the world,
pretending it's not there,
wheezing on her exposed back ever again.
Let me shatter,
As I lay curled and dead inside myself.
And so I reached far enough to almost touch you,
you ripped my wings off.
Savoring my blood, your lips touched my back.
Just to taste it.
Just to taste it.
Breathe.
Let me drown,
As I lay outside myself.
And so I stood petrified,
Your acid clad fingers ran down my skin.
Just to feel it.
Just to feel it.
Breathe.
Let me decay,
As I lay, not fully alive anymore,
And so I pulled back my hands,
You threw me to the rats and told them to eat.
Just to love me.
Just to love me.
Breathe.
...This is love, right?
