Kiss me
No, harder
Rid me of every scar
Suck the night-old whiskey away from all my black and blue
Touch me until I don't feel worthless
All these broken ribs
The fluttering lids of both black eyes
Pray away every awful thing I've done
And lick the salt away from broken skin
The exit wounds of bullets
The little lines of knife bites
Just love me until I'm mad
And kiss me until I'm whole again
I fell in love with the girl inside my head
I'm taken in by her sugar kisses and hands like fire
Her oiled spring hair and button up boots
The rivets of sweat on her back that stick leather seats
A cream colored dress that loses it's buttons in the back of my car
The sound of my name and old music through diner doors
I'm prisoner to her invisible smile
Peeling away clothes that become ash in my fingers
Something real once
As hot as fire and as free as air
Crushed together in a bathroom stall
Trying to touch a ghost inside my head
Reaching to taste the liquor on her candy colored lips
The curves of her waist and the scent of her
I'm in l
My grandmother would say it's because I'm restless and young. My dad would peel himself away from the TV just long enough to grunt, "Did you take your pills?". But downing the bottle could not keep these thoughts away. No matter how many books I bury myself in, or the countless hours I stay at the computer redrafting old poems. I could watch every show, every movie created until my brain becomes slop in my skull. But the fears and desires I so stubbornly keep at bay always find there way in on nights like these.
The fear of oblivion, and the desire to run. The fear of oppression, and the desire for adventure.
I'm laying on my side in bed
You're like a fallen angel
A dusty doll on the shelf
Your eyes still to the ceiling
Counting the seconds
The spans between the rise and fall of your chest
Cutting through the torture
Tracing the bites on your stomach with shaking fingers
Cursing Venus
Merciless bitch
Drunk behind the gym during class
So broken
Helpless
Yearning and mourning
Nothing but a scared little boy
Face pressed to the filthy bus window
Watching mommy wave goodbye
You're a broken wine glass
Shattered between stiletto heels
Branded with ruby lipstick and the stick of apple wine
Babe, don't try to shove your bruised knuckles in your empty pockets
Brush it off

Girl in the Glass
I hate this girl
With the sneer on her lips
Her fingers knotted in her pretty hair
Her eyes are wild
Manic, sadistic
She's so curvy it's almost sad
She can't hold down a diet
She's hideous
And stupid
She keeps yanking down her sleeves to cover those pathetic scars
Her eyes are droppy
Her legs too wide
Ink stains on her finger tips
And pentagram's drawn on her sneakers
She has a silver ring and leather coat
She's so desperate to worm into some else's skin
I don't want to hate her but I do
Who is this, stupid bitch who's smiling like she doesn't have a clue?
Putting on a brave face? Ready to face her accuser?
He's waiting in the car

Karma's a Bitch
Oh, honey you are so lonely
Let me hold your hand and talk you through it
I'll tell you she's lost a great guy
And that this makes me one lucky gal
But maybe she was better off
And maybe you are too
Because the only heart that I have
Is the one that belongs to you!
You must feel so lost
So heartsick and confused
Maybe it was your idea
Or maybe it was hers
Maybe she's one lucky girl!
To have dropped that burdensome load!
Hurts to be left behind doesn't it?
Sucks to be second best?
Makes you feel alone?
Like nothing could be right again
Isn't is horrible to feel like you aren't loved?
Like no one gives a fuck?
Like someone's just ki
Baby, I hope you bury me in ashes
Tear off the fabric of my dress and taste the the skin of my stomach
And kiss the cold smile that you never knew
You never got the chance to know me
Or the story behind each scar
You just smiled and nodded all the way through
From classroom to coffin
From gravel to gravestone
You didn't love me from my blue jeans to my little black dress
From the car park
To the funeral home
I was dead from the second I met you
I was picking out my coffin on the bus-ride home
I was just a figure
You were just a ghost-boy
Empty
Shucked clean from the shell
No soul, no heart, nothing my pen could dream up
I nev
My twisted heart is beating inside my threadbare shirt
My chest is falling
But that's boring
With out so much as a a sting
Or a burn
Or an ache
No trouble. No toil. No excitement or pain.
What is life without excitement?
How do I know that I'm alive?
Am I somewhere outside, slumped on a desk? Lost in a nightmare with cuts on my wrists?
But they long have faded into the tan of my skin
I have no connection, no life-line
I'm feeling your cheeks with numb hands
Tasting your lips with my rotting blue tongue
My hands are ice under your shirt
I'm just searching for a heartbeat
You're sick
You're revolting
But I want you
Any addiction
Any
Affection is a disease
It blinds the eyes and plugs the ears
It's a clear vision, of nothing but emptiness
Tying the tongue!
Dyes it with value!
Coats it with worthless words of silver and red
It is nothing but a trick
A slide of hand under a skin-tight shirt
And that's all it take
To make somebody fall in love
To heartless abandon the dreams that you once had
Fall into bed! Into pleasure!
Into the skin of a stranger
And I have been called sick
And sadistic and vain
But you are all so blind
That you are living a lie
You can't see the delirium when it leaks from your lips
And the poisons so purple dripping across
