End

A dam ruptures.
One after another,
Each crack begins to spread.
It spiders out,
And eventually weaves it's self into a web,
The beginning of destruction.
Each starting point is insignificant,
A fluke,
And in the end results in death.

Silence.

Silence.
There's a demand that can never be fed,
A hunger in which we can never fill.
The rush of cars in a big city or the pop of gunfire,
Dogs barking or the chain link fence clinking.
Children cry out as the noise fills their heads,
The darkness not enough shelter.
Palms pressing ears they listen,
And even the sound of their own breathing too much.

Break

She stumbles,
Spewing everything she has gathered
From the last fuck up.
Onto the ground,
Her fingers scrape the pavement
Trying to pick up any shattered remains,
Until they're raw,
Bleeding,
And unrecognizable chucks of
Bone-flesh.

Dry

Drain me
Pull me away from everything.
My friends are no longer mine,
But people who should be distent.
Balance isn't in their vocabulary anymore
Compassion is never recognized.
Her lips press his and it's over,
Dry.

Pretend

She captured me
Showed me what imperfect happiness was
Let me hold her heart and feel it shutter when
My fingers brush her face
Teeth graze her skin softly
Let my arms slide around her waist and lose myself.
Gone as you may be
I know now
There's always the word 'lie'
In believe
The word 'over'
In lover
and the word 'end'
In pretend.

The truth

I want you to take me
Lust for every imperfection
Thrive for every scar,
Every bruise,
And caress me like a goddess.
I want you to feel my unshaven legs,
Run your hands over them,
And love me.

Say what?

Today, one single comment was all it took
Not a word in months,
Yet I begin salavating for your lips.
To feel your rough hands on my waist,
and I begin to drift.

Sarah went from 'Being in a Relationship' to 'Single'.

How long should it be before you're out of my life,
How far should you move?
I'm tired.
Jolts through my chest continuously
Unwelcomed
Revive me.
I'm walking
To maybe put more distance,
Or to get closer,
Because knowing isn't in my vocabulary anymore.

'You don't want to get a booty dart, do you?'

Piss on me yellow walls
In a room that's never quite warm
Never quite cold
Never quite anything
I can sit on the creaking monster
I'm forced to sleep on
Like the crazy person I am

Choking down 'normal' pills
Blue ones and yellow ones
I begin to lose myself
See things
Hear things
And become the person they expected in the first place

'round a bout

It's like sand slipping through the cracks of your fingers
You can try to save it
Hold on real tight so maybe it'll last just a bit longer
But always
It will fall through
And leave you on your hands and knees
Trying to salvage what you can

And start back over.

A first impression

We’ll walk for miles

And not give a damn

We’ll see some stars

And just hold hands

You can lead me nowhere

And I’ll follow you

Stare me down

And capture me
