Pyrrhic

Romanticize the wound in my side
The question
The devil on the shoulder
of what I once was
Where do you fit in this world
Why does it run so effortlessly through my veins;
Find home in my bones?
Why does it bleed
Into the eyes of another
Through the touch of another
The righteousness of hurting

Happenstance

A guiding light
In what once was an unrecognizable room
The graze of your lips
Over scarred skin
Electric eyes
I swear they've known me forever
A love
So deliberate;
So whole
Don't look away
I swear you've known me forever

Recurring

You gazed into vacant eyes.
Your fingertips
Drug down the back
Of a ghost
Your lips
Lingered
On blank space
Your breath
down my neck
And into nothingness.
Your invasion
Greeted by void

Untitled

I sit, washed up on the shore
Damp; disheveled
And stare into the ice cold eyes
Of the deep blue tides
Of painful memory

A few steps closer
Cool wind at my back
Step by step
It's whispering; chilling my bones
With painful memory

Waist deep
My limbs go numb
I stare into the ice cold eyes.
Body limp; I submit
To painful memory.

The same

Disgusting
The need
To be loved.

The hollow shell
Of a heart
Too tired to know better.

The supernova
Of love and hurt
Of fear and truth

Disgusting
The little girl crumbling
To the sounds of others

Enjoying each other

Two years

Nothing changes

Only in shape and relevancy 

When you live

In a sub-reality 

mind altered world

Where there is no floor 

to find your footing

There is no escape

From the mind

That defends; protects

With its hands

writhing around your neck

Deceit

You colored the wool
you held over my eyes
with roses and wine
and sweet little lies

You left me to wonder
to ask myself why
I mean nothing
to those who tossed me aside
