_{She always fell for boys who needed saving.

Giving them kisses in the dark
to numb their headache from
drinking too much and yet
not enough to kill lust.

She was always adored by boys, who,
if given the chance, would rebuild
the world for her.

But she wanted to be the heroine
and refused to see
she needed saving, too.}

Turning Into Fiction.

Every drop of doubt that falls Leaves an echo of ripples in your reflection. I want to gouge my fingers into this uncertainty And read you like a book, but The chapters of your dark side make me reconsider. Each page reveals a potential twist and turn, And danger, so much danger for such a fragile heart. What if on the last page I realize the story is just fiction? You are Uncontrollable, your thirst is Unquenchable and who am I to Shut your eyes from your own lust? My hold is loose when fate and Lack of faith are gnawing at your covers. What I fear most is not you waking up to somebody else, But you waking up as somebody else entirely.

R.I.P Words

Do you know what it feels like? To feel something, but... be unable to express what it is; to be silent; to fight it alone. I know how much it hurts, but I don't know how to show it. Poetry used to be my refuge, a place where I could be alone - express all my emotions, without being judged. I'm losing it. I can't connect to poetry. Everything sounds so stupid... Everything I write sounds stupid. I have to erase all my feelings, because they don't sound right. The words aren't real. They don't show what I feel And maybe this will be the last. Maybe I'm gone: lost of all emotions. I'm truly alone... I used to have poetry. Now I have not

Better Left Unsaid.

You'll be a lawyer- I'll be a writer. You'll probably make more money but- At least we'll both be doing things we love. And we'll live on a farm, Just like you always wanted and... I want to marry you- I can't imagine myself with anyone else. But you don't know that. We'd both laugh if I told you. So it's better left unsaid. I can see us staying up late... Watching kiddie movies and eating chocolate ice cream. And having candle lit dates on our bedroom floor- Taco Bell, of course. And on winter evenings, we'll curl up on the couch... With hot chocolate... As I read aloud to you- From a book of my choice, of course. But you don't know t

boys who love their grandmothers

never fall in love with a boy who loves his grandmother. he will be too gentle with your lips, too sincere when he whispers blessings into your ears pleading that he doesn't deserve you. his tongue will not slither between your teeth. instead, the heat of his mouth will melt your scar tissue until there is no trace of your travels. never fall in love with a boy who loves his grandmother. he knows patience. you will try to convince him that it is one of the many virtues you don't yet possess, but he will dig through the flesh in your ribcage until he finds it lodged beneath everything you're too scared to confess. he will teach you forg

Can't you hear the voices?

Can't you hear the voices? As they ring inside my head Can't you see the faces? Painted in the blood so red Can't you taste the poison? As it rests upon your tongue Can't you hear the voices? No? Then you do not belong.

Castle

Come with me, little girl Let's watch the rose pedals fall Let's bury your castle And put up a brick wall Lets rip off your butterfly wings And place them in your grave The demons have come to get you You better start to behave Come with me, little girl For you can only have the gown for an hour Do they love you, or love you not, Ripping pedals off a flower Come with me, little girl Let's open your scars And bury your castle, In the girl you no longer are...

Magic Wand

Dragons fly through poison skies, their whispers in the wind Ladybugs in black sandcastles, scratches on your skin Hopscotch over quicksand, and a castle made of dirt Shining silver crowns and dancing 'round in spinning skirts Bloody, ruined princesses locked up in towers tall Watching as the prince quickly begins to fall Slowly, as the innocence does take her darling life Please do watch now, as the magic wand becomes a knife...

The Animal

(Howl into my ear; give me your claws. I want the animal in you; in you I shall nest.) Take your clothes off, take them off for me. Let me see the scars and the marks, those dark moles and faint sun spots. I want to memorize the way your fur grows. I want to tickle my cheeks with your goose bumps. Let me count the bruises and the cuts. I'll bless them with names; I'll lick away the blood stains. We can lie skin to skin for days. I have enough kisses for your brows and lashes, for nails, teeth and toes, for thighs and knees; in your curves and dents I'll nuzzle my nose. Let me see your skin dance. Through and around; your

I was taught right from wrong By a murderer I was taught truth from lies By a magician I was taught who my friends were By my enemy I was taught to be honest By a professional liar I was taught to always speak my mind By being told to keep quiet I was taught to be kind By someone that beat me down I was taught to smile By someone who could never wipe a scowl of their face I was taught to love By being abused I was taught to live By someone who was already dead I was taught to perform By someone with stage fright I was taught to be excellent By someone that failed in everything I was taught to rely on only my self By being su

Life, Death And A Pork Chop Sandwich

All tangled up, hard to breathe This steel cloud day that swirls With heat and pounding hammers I shake in my boots and cough up Blood, rust and damaged flesh Waiting for the second coming Maybe next time around there'll be Some chance for more than this A twisted barbed wire halo Wrapped tight around my skull Blinding white light aura Swarming with flies I'm flying To pieces, thousands of shards Cannot be brought back together But I will remember the summer Of my first Chevrolet in each bit Gleaming bits of glass in the desert Each reflecting a different moment Still, now, enduring until the waves Of a new ocean sweep them away No pain

I once was a galaxy~ A Poem

I once was a galaxy, But then I fell from the sky, I landed on the ground, And I tried not to cry Everybody laughed, When they saw me they would scream, They said I was an alien, And a girl caught in her dreams A few Fridays later, There were no stars in my hair, There were no nebulas in my eyes, But I couldn't really care But one fateful day, Someone saw through my lies, They saw me through a telescope, Suddenly galaxies were in my eyes From that day forward, I never gave in, I would reach for the stars, And be the best galaxy I've ever been

Ocean

My home is a warm sea Of darting rainbow scales, Bright lights And pearly laughter. My father sent me to a cold ocean Of iron blue and slate grey, Sharp claws And brooding silence. "Find yourself in the emptiness, In the bleak, roaring surf, Daughter, And then return." I fell in love with a cold ocean, Traded my blood for salt, My bones For sand and seaweed.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.
