You Made It Rain

You promised sunshine
I wore my favorite dress
But you made it rain.

When It Breaks

It's funny
How I always know that
My heart beats

But I only get to
Hear it
When it breaks

Towel Over Head

towel over head
biting on rope
naked with purple lesions
hanging above water
I’ve met my phantom
his voice is venom
I never dream again

Lost The Guts

lost the guts
lost the words
lost the love
lost the boy
she was lost
by the boy
who lost her guts
forgot her words
misplaced her love
for another girl

Gah, Sleep

On zombie-pilot
Eyes barely open
Or closed
Temples will burst
Chunks of brain
Splat on the walls
Unicorn blood here
Rainbow flesh there
Candy vomit everywhere

A Stagnant Death

I value life
I’m afraid of death
but sometimes life
makes me say
kill me now
simply because
I experience a death
while being alive,
I constantly live
a stagnant death

A Big, Black Blur

Your sensual scent, I remember
Your soft touch, I remember
Your carnal taste, I remember
Your voice that cooed, I remember
Your towering shadow, I remember

But your face,
a big, black blur

Rut

there’s a warning commercial this morning
it flashed before my squinting eyes
toast rested on my surprised forehead
I’m swimming inside trouble’s stomach
and it got me wondering as I spin
if you were swimming in the same rut

False Cake Piece

like a candy wrapper
thrown into
the unsuspecting wind
I feel a nervousness,
a sense of weakness
drill themselves
onto my unwanted bones
like a constant ghost train
that grinds timelessness
you exhaust me
a lamp with betraying warmth,
you are a foul, false cake piece
