I'm seriously starting to feel like these entries need a Dramatic Reading.
Dun dun dun *flashes lightning*
She would be the tide that sang so softly
And sewed together the earth
With its thinly combed
Silk and, gold that shone
And reflected on the horizons
She graced the floors with her feet
As If it were not up to her
The steps she took
An innocence in her stubbornness
A sly, kiniving look in her eyes
Behind every smile
She could take a bite out my heart
And it still wouldn’t hurt
Even as i gasp for my last breath
She is there, the needle that jabs me in my side
And punctures me between the third and fourth rib
The metal that makes up my lower lumbar
And titanium steel
Firmly holding a grasp on my teeth
I bow down to her every morning
Like the dew on the leaves that falls
From the trees, to the soil
And we tune into each other
As if one frequency made new
When she reminds me who i am
Inside me
There is no way for me to know
As if i could chase a shadow
Will she ever return
The air was taken out of my lungs and
I will never know how to breathe
Not again until she comes near me
Until she comes,
I will always feel empty
And just as we get used to the way a ticking clock
Shackles us to, inevitable mortality
The way it passes is not threatening
Or suffering
Just as heart break becomes
Normalcy
Life is tragedy, and life is, how to become numb to it
It’s easy for some but,
For me, i can’t figure out why,
It is not.
Imagine if, the good grades you got felt like failure,
If the clothes you spent hundreds on never fit right-
And if, you could never figure out how to drive on the right side of the road.
Imagine everytime you tried to read, the words fell off the pages
And stained your fingers with ink.
Imagine, the frustration you’d feel,
If ever time you loved someone, it hurt more, and more, each day
And everytime they touched you,
You felt like you were drowning
Imagine that sleeping and waking felt the same
Imagine that, during your daily life, you can hear a low buzz through the background
And it gets louder when people try to talk to you
Slowly you stop listening
Imagine always feeling cold, so cold that you shiver
And wanting nothing but warmth, but no blankets, bring comfort, they are only colder
Imagine every time you eat, you feel so unwell, you choose not to anymore.
And, you wait for the bus, or the train, and you get on your bike and
Head where you need to go.
Everyone else is, floating so effortlessly like water colors running into paper,
Filling up the empty space
And for you,
It’s as if, you’re trying to play a song but,
Can never hit the right notes-
You want to sing, but can never sing in tune.
And every step, you are walking on broken glass.
You pull the shards out of your teeth, find them under your tongue,
Under your pillow,
Somehow they’ve, fallen like crumbs in the space between your shirt and your back
And made tiny scratches
All over, you
And you’re so tired, of bleeding, everywhere you go
A mess to clean up,
That others can see- but you can’t, stop.
And that’s what you’ve become. A bloody mess.
That for one is evident.
And then, onto the next. People go.
And you’re still, trying to replay the tape
That’s, got faulty wiring and-
You’ve fiddled with it for ages but
Can never get it to work
The guitar strings break when you play them and snap in your face, they cut your fingers.
Your morning coffee cups fall on the floor at your feet
This is how i feel, everyday
Without you
Do you know my pain,
Do you know my pain?
You have caused?
I want you to take a rubber band and tighten it around your fist, and pull it back and let it snap against your skin
I want you to poke yourself with pins
I want you to rip the tape off of your eyebrows, and the hair on the back of your neck
I want it to hurt
So bad,
And do it, so many times
That you become numb at the surface
Now, imagine, how it must feel to have so much pain on the outer shell
The only way not to feel it, is to lock yourself inside
Dislocate from it entirely, cut off all sensation and feeling
Do you know what that’s like?
Do you know that this is what you did to me?
Do you know how bad i want to scream in your face and shake you
Do you know how reckless you were with my heart?
Do you know what it feels like to break it?
Did you enjoy that??
I hope at least one of us did.
Now i can’t stop, full throttle Down the road with the breaks cut
People think I’m insane but
I just keep going on this downward spiral and,
My pants stopped fitting three years ago, because of how the weight fell off
And how much money i wasted on my addiction as it consumed me
Anything to help me not notice the looming shadow
And, she told me, she could never hurt me
You’re right, you didn’t hurt me.
You cut me right down the middle, you killed me in my sleep
You’re the reason i am a walking zombie, insomniac high on Prozac
And every prescription pill in the nation
You’re the reason i stopped drawing trees and buildings, and now i look for spare change
In every pocket and, underneath the car seats
To spend on my stupid junkie day dreams and pipe dreams and high and mighty flying kites getting coked up and stupid from whiskey,....
you’re the reason i shove blades into my wrist and down the alcohol faster than i can count
How many Xanax’ s it takes me to fall asleep
In less than three seconds i push heroin into my veins,
I dig the needle in deep
Because i don’t, have it in me.
To care,
And the meaning, in everything
Became a dream
The floated away
The day i lost you.... like sand between my fingers
And now, I’m always asleep
Seeing your around the corners, and
In every strange lover and,
Bar cats and,
Prostitutes.
I get into fights and when i wring my fist out on their face
And choke her and tell her to scream
Those are the tiny little bubbles coming up to the surfaces
Of a drowning heart
That so badly wants to breathe
I hope, that the tears, i cry
Never dry
I hope that they flood your backyard
And every raindrop that hits your window
And fills up your abandoned dog bowls and
Soaks, your coat
In the cold
I want you to think of me
In the way that the sheets of rain
Grace the wind in the night
I want you to know
You are hundreds of times
M ore beautiful, to me
No street lamp can do it justice,
The feeling of basking, in the droplets
Or the sunlight UV rays
Burning us, pouring sweat,... squinting eyes, midnight,
sweaty palms
I want you to know that,
As i take your socks off while you sleep
When you smile at me,
The comfort in bed sheets and old pillows
That smell like,you
I want you to know that,
All the things I do....
Everything i do,
Is about, you.
And me without you is, simply incomplete.
What is a half... that never found it’s whole.
Nothing without you.
Not worth a thing with out you.
I write my name in cigarette smoke
Carcinogens,
Wafting
Chain smoker
You have me chained
My cigarette cartons have me named
Branded
Packaged
Priced
May we rest in plastic
You can't defeat Blanc, ever
She's doing it for us.
