you love her

mind flowing

with toxins

hazed and confused

wandering

lost

wondering

did she feel the same

against you?

did your skin crawl

with every stroke

from the tips of

her fingers

did you hear

her heart race

to the sound

of your bodies

do you love her

like the ocean

sea salty air

like you used to

love me

Or is it better

never mind

don’t answer that

Take Me With You

i love the feeling
of my hallowed breath leaving
my heavy chest

the way i welcome
the waves and waves
of streams falling
from my eyes

i don’t turn away
from the jagged cracks
that were placed against
my pale skin only to be re-opended
and the siren red tear that leaks
doesn’t make my stomach turn anymore

ive invited all the monsters
that were boxed in the hole
of my closet for tea

they remind me how pain
is really all in my head
they danced, laughed
and cleared me of my nonsense

they put me to sleep
and went to back to hide
a little further back
so i couldn’t reach the pain
i love to feel and i whisper
take me with you

Temptation

You pretend to want me
Running your hands up my legs
Knowing that it drives me wild

And you crawl your way
Up my body and tease me
The heat of you all around me

You slide your fingers
Passed my lips and whisper
My desire for you

You choke me
With enough pressure
To send me into
A yearning unknown

Now i lay awake
And dream of
The way you could fill
Me from the inside and out

I want to explore the more
you promised

letting you go

the clouds look like a spotlight
as i fly above them
the wind crawling down my spine
on the old swing as I reach for the sky my hands wiping mud that blocks my eyes from wanting to see the world from the ground up
my curious mind wandered
but my views never changed
only the one behind the lens did

You had me turning in my sheets
open ended thoughts turning to simple minded dreams
your fingers traced the curve where my smile would meet my cheek
it used to make me weak
The way your eyes would stare into me
The day you brought her to meet me
i realized the sun didn’t shine
and the lies I told myself
made me wish I could hide
under a dark sky with the moon in my eyes
