Hey

(with the intention of dancing with you in the rain)

Exhausted

My gauges are broken

Prayer has left me hopeful

Time has always been cruel

You could relate if you tried

It’s trembling again. The walls around us are buzzing.

Can you feel it?!

Shhhhh shh shh.

There…

Haunting how the frequencies right there are the same right here.

The static on the linoleum can lift tear-soaked tissue paper.

Echoes and aches.

Fuck what it takes I’m going bad cause mad ain’t even working.

Your name still has thorns

That cut my tongue whenever

I say it aloud

Find the accidentals that somehow work

Under every breath an offensive lurks

Maybe it’s ugly. Baby, it’s me

Every outcome ends with a plea

Save me from myself

I only write when I am falling in love, or falling apart.

“I am a ghoster - I come and go as I please. I was not made to roam this earth in search of what others want. I do not exist only as a response - I exist in the silence. I exist as I am.”

I hope when he makes you laugh it hurts because you wished it were me.

I hope when the night has a bite of chilled air his embrace makes you wince because you miss mine.

I hope his cologne makes you sick.

I hope his hands are too sweaty.

I hope his cooking is trash.

I hope… I hope you’re happy.

Most certainly venomous

One taste and you’re through

Nasty necromancer

Satan in satin

Toiling with spits and chants

Empty eyes and grins

Run
