why didn't you say goodbye?

Love wasn’t in the air the night you unbuttoned my shirt and kissed my skin. No, love definitely wasn’t in the air the night we spent in heat of moments, sweating and tumbling and fumbling on your father’s bed. It was anywhere but there. Does love go on vacation? I ponder and make fleshy butterflies from my outstretched fingers. Probably. I can’t remember much but I can remember the beginning. The burn of acid bleeding and gushing past my tongue and down my throat. The noises and then your silence. The clumsiness and then the awkward kisses. You had a garden of dark hair growing from your scalp and dirt eyes. You had a

sick

Death slouches over the edge of her bed, licking his lips as he caresses her thighs. He sings the noise of wind and rain crashing all around and her head throbs with the sound. Her head is hot. Her forehead is on fire and her cheeks catch alight with it. She burns silently and sees red, red, black. Tiny insects have crawled beneath her fingernails and they dig with tiny claws and teeth until they are swarming beneath her skin, biting outward at her flesh. Each vertebrae carries bruises and as she tosses her body about the bed they ache loudly and sharply. All the heat has rushed to her face, her body shakes like a leaf in wind and goosebump

dear diary, today i died

she's a ghost of a girl in the mirror. dark hair tangles like weeds below her shoulders and cuts at grey eyes. harsh shadows don't leave her with a skeleton like she sometimes hopes, but she feels it in her mind. feels the sharp edges and the trembled fragility, the silent cry for another's flesh and that outward plea of don't break me. cold fingers make love to cold glass while the sky cries over and over for sun. this afternoon death made to kiss her lips but missed. he'd come so close she now knows what nothing doesn't feel like and she cannot fear it. it's a blankness so removed from consciousness she cannot reach it with thought- but sh

Rise Up

It's not making money and material things, That make this life complete It's holding on to what you have, And being true to what you believe Everyday I see, Too many people who aren't free But I can see it in their eyes, They just want someone to lead! Rise up!(rise up) Everybody stand Rise up!(rise up) Everybody who can Rise up!(rise up) Please believe me, If you want to face the world, You've got to get up off of your knees... And rise up! It's not fancy cars and movie stars, That make me want to live But it proves that to get want I want in life, Sometimes I have to give Everyone screams "change", They say they have a

In the End

In the end there is an instant, Between alive and dead An instant that you travel alone, No-one else, with you, can tread It is a moment of fear, When all that is becomes clear... An instant of pain! An instant of shame! An instant before you depart this world, And only a body remains... Because, in the end, In the end we die alone, we die alone In the end, In the end we are on our own, we are on our own In the end, The answers you've sought, all are shown We are all dying! Everyday we are alive And in the end there is an instant, Right before eternal night In the end who you are doesn't matter, What you've done is all that does All your pa

Split Seconds of Violence

In moments of passion, We lose who we are, our way, We forsake our evolution, And the beast slips it's chains Mental commands are fired in all directions, Except the very one which is in need, And after the explosion of anger, That someone is bleeding is a guarantee Fury is our own greatest rival, One only we can control, And the effort expended in search of it, Slowly but surely takes it's toll We grow weaker and weaker, As it rears it's head and sharpens it's teeth, And in a split second of violence, It becomes just what it needs and feeds The aftermath is foreordained, It can never be escaped, All we can do is sadly move

the things we'll never say.

1. snakes crawl out of my mouth, hands like sleep waiting silently for me to give into them. i toss words like rocks across my tongue, skipping across the lake, and we reach, hands outstretched, for the sun but it's a shame it's all empty. 2. listen, if you loved me, you wouldn't try to fix me. if you loved me, you'd paint butterflies across the wall to make me smile. listen, if you loved me, you'd give me handrails to hold onto on the way down. you'd tell me that right now, i'm a caterpillar (but that caterpillars become butterflies.) listen, if you loved me, you'd love me broken, too. 3. don't speak. sure, you cou

the ways we destroy ourselves.

one. we were silences stretched out, lingering in the pitter-patter of muffled heartbeats. we were broken glass digging into too-fragile lungs, we were the shaking of the nervous earth beneath our feet. we were bitter unforgiveness and the screams of the world around us, we were empty spaces, we were everything but beautiful. two. happiness is on vacation. three. life is a sidewalk, he told me. life is a sidewalk, and regret and pain and tears are the cracks, and sometimes, he tells me, sometimes, you can't fill them. four. there's a shatter in the next room, a broken breath, a shaking in the bones. we're all broken, darl

papercuts and gashes.

i. i think there is a distance between everyone and me, and most people just don't care enough to try to cross it. ii. i wish i had the strength to tell you how much i miss you. i wish i didn't spend my time wondering if it would even make a difference. i wish that this was just another fictional story. iii. papercuts hurt, but at least they're shallow. (i wish this was only a papercut.) iv. if only i could tell you how sorry i am. if only i could heal my gashes so that you'd never have to suffer with me again. v. this is me saying sorry, saying i miss you. this is me trying to cross the distance, tr

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

Your Lovely Bones

I long not for your words or your flesh or your smile, Just the white of your bones, their crescent curves, Pressed hard against my hungry lips. I would claw through sinew like freshly dug earth, Could guzzle your blood like communion wine, If only to peel open that which cages your heart. My fingers ache with unrestrained lust, To touch where your skin becomes polished and carved, And play you like piano keys, Till the age-sharpened edges make my skin weep in shards, My breath still and heavy, dead in my chest, At the thought of my blushing cheek Resting on the rising ridges of your torso. I dream nightly of sleeping amidst your

Dark Bride

There's no heavier burden to carry Than the weight of a life unlived Never been a darker bride to marry Than the one who would waste their gifts I have but one desire That's to regain the fire And to this I aspire To again feel the pyre To let the flames climb higher There's no sadder sight to behold Than to watch the dying cinder Never a tragedy that's been so cold Than those who would do naught but hinder There's not a more lonely night to wait through Than to keep glancing at the door Never a more painful tear to kill you Than to see your dark bride once more

an atheist's prayer

dear god, i planted no tulips in autumn and no tulips came in spring. how silly of me, then to mourn the empty garden, to long for fields of amsterdam, to kneel at night in cold dirt, hands folded. i’ve learned there is a certain ache in lacking a thing never had, that small itch whose relief is two seasons past – so god, if you can hear me, know that i am homesick for amsterdam, whose name, like yours, i know but whose flowers i cannot see.

Good God, a Year.

i'm not sure how many of you were with me at this time last year, but my friends and i took autumn pictures then, as well.

so much has changed since then, but i've somehow ended up with a very similar haircut . . .

this weather turns my tricks to rust,
i am a lousy engineer.
the winter makes things hard enough,
i think i'll wait another year.
