Man Eater

I am what men think they want Enough of the manic pixie of their dreams And enough of a loner that makes them feel smart for wanting to fuck me but still not smart enough to get me off.

Enough of a man to be one of the guys And enough of a woman that their sexuality isn't threatened.

I am what men think they want more than heaven itself.

Something about who I am makes men throw their entire live away.

I am what men think they want until they see me as a person until I won't tolerate bad behavior.

I ruin men I ruin them completely I ruin them by not stopping them from ruining themselves.

Walking away is all it takes.

I am no angel I will hear stories of how they obliterated themselves Never looking back at the end of their world.

I am a flash of darkness in their delusional daydream

Haunted Visions

Every time we drink together And I look at you Eyes wide and longing. All I can see is ghostly visions What our future could be

What we are in another time In another life The thought of what we will never be It haunts my thoughts I know it’s best this way.

Forest Fire

A forest surrounds Everything growing green and beautiful reaching rays of sun stretching into the sky Flowers and trees springing from ashes and devastation.

Yet I am still inchoate Why couldn’t I be reborn with everything else?

Rising from destruction takes time Why cant time move faster? each second feels like an hour being complete seem impossible growing pains that just wont quit. 

When will it be my turn to feel whole again? Flickering canopy letting light break through the dark. The fire took almost everything but it has been so long it was time to peel apart death Old and flaking turned new and raw. No matter what it would have hurt.

Unfinished and ungrown would be a worse fate. Little happens without pain.

Nightlight

My sun is your moon Day and Night But you shine so much brighter.

I’m like a moth drawn to your light Even if the fire burns I will never mind the pain.

How easily we could have been passing strangers Destined to never meet What a terrifying unknown.

The loneliest number is not just one.

The loneliest I have ever felt has been while surrounded by people

When there is an absence of being seen

While I'm alone I can be aware of my personhood it is not dependent.

I never feel invisible alone

Many is my loneliest number.

How many more until I feel complete?

Touching lives is beautifully tragic.

The more people I come across

The more I lose myself

The less whole I feel.

The loneliest number is ever growing.

Gemini

Thoughts of him fill my head

I know I shouldn't think of you this much

When did he become my muse?

I know what you would say.

I'm scared to take a chance

but willing to take one with you

To see what's there will leave me empty

or even more terrifyingly, complete.

Thoughts of you feel my head

Maybe he thinks of me as much as I think of him

You became my muse when our souls were stardust floating in a nebula

I don't want to wait on him or something that may never come

I need to know if there's something there

The suspense is breaking me.

Are you willing to see what's out there for us?

Maybe he's changed his mind

It's okay if you don't feel the same.

Please have the same desire to see.

I think I fell when you dropped me.

Garden of Life and Death

A garden filled with blooming flowers here.

This the domain of life, Death could not fear.

Death waited, patience as a virtue, life.

Life with a stare, watched, waiting with a knife.

Death's beauty bled eternal for the moon.

They’d be together again once more soon.

Once banished, gates flung open, they’re revealed.

The Tricksters now unsealed, there’s guests afield.

The sunshine used to glow here, oh so bright.

There's those who barely still remember light

The fairies flicker in the darkest night.

They do not welcome those who can't take flight.

Their presence fills many with such a delight.

Their presence fills many others with a fright. 

All was consumed while tricks were then there played.

While the guests were distracted the fire raged.

Enormous fears brought much destruction there.

So much so that they could not much longer bear.

A garden filled with much destruction here.

No longer the domain of life, only fear.

Dazzling Queen

She was glittering, utterly dazzling scene.

Dressed impressive she is now dancing as Queen.

Her heels a bit too high.

Her hopes falling from the sky.

Such a fall. She went tumbling to floor unclean.

Among Us

In the ship there are a few, and most are quite true and avoid

Green, white, purple, black, red, brown, and blue all enjoyed.

Find Imposter, they’ll kill.

Vote on Innocent Phil.

Task after task,  the unfortunate crew now deployed.

Bouquets

The coffee spilled all over the table.

Completely wrong, first date.

Poor Cupid's arrow missed them both.

Unseen affection, fate.

Again, they try again once more.

It's really such a shame.

Attempts are always failing, grim. 

And neither is to blame.

Part ways too late, very far away. 

World crushing lonely days.

Fresh start together? Never again.

One day there’ll be bouquets. 

A secret love sparks in the dark.

Engagement with no delay.

A wedding planned. A grave is dug.

Today there are bouquets.

Ice Knife

Dragon blood flows through her, ice mage.

Magic dormant. Death caused her rage.

Long lost power revealed again here.

Listen in, assistance not near.

Knights of Death sent, life in danger.

Not forever. demon slayer.

Haunted by her past. Fresh bread.

Family had already been dead.

She's forever living in fear.

Found companions to now hold dear.  

Blessed by Lady Luck. Not sister.

Lady doom; could not harm caster.

All misfortune not for nothing.

She will go down magic casting.

Prince of Demons in an ice grave.

By the mage, he thought would not brave.

She took his life with an ice knife.

And she did it all without strife.

Finished him off with quite a flare.

Those who wish to cross do not dare.

I hate couples who say

I love you more

And No I love you more

Love is not a competition

It isn't about who loves who more

Because someone will always be the one to just love more.

Brining that to light

Just leaves someone

With their heart on the floor

And the other feeling guilty.

There is nothing wrong with being the one who loves more

I am often not the one who loves more.

It is more often than not my partner.

But this time I know

I knew the whole time

That I loved them more than they could possibly ever love me.

And that was Ok.

I am tired

I am tired of those I care about getting bored of me.

I am tired if not being enough. For anyone.

Including myself.

This poem started three weeks ago.

When the what we called love was new

Just taking its first steps

I haven't written anything since.

Funny how my only love poem about you turned into a break up poem.

I knew I'd never be your wife.

I knew this would inevitably happen.

I just never knew how soon.

I just never knew it would feel as though my heart was ripped open and thrown on the ground.

How did you just suddenly stop loving me?

How did I go from cute to annoying in less than a month?

How did I fuck this one up?

"I love you more"

Obviously not.
