We know the devil
" this is the new touch,
the feeling of fingers pushing
painlessly through our skin,
the feeling of the muscle and fat,
the weight of it,
the intention: its forever,
its a first kiss, it's a love story.
And oh, how beautiful it is"
We know,
We know the devil
and the devil is inside
Nature doesn't care about
Humans or the devil.
I want to be touched.
I want to be hurt,
I want to touch and
Hold and hurt like you do
Stars are what we're made of
Echoes of the void in
Liminal space
See you, see he(r), see me
See the devil
The sirens inside us
The water around us
The eyes searching for the light
That doesn't exist
We know,
We know the devil
And the devil knows us
Our halo bones
like a moth
flapping it's wings,
I can feel fingers
on my face and my arms
and everywhere
We are consumed
But not broken
Because we know
We know the devil
And the devil?
The devil knows us

Tiptoe
I love the way you walk;
on tiptoes
As if you don't want to touch the ground
Because you're always
Hollow-boned, flying away from something
You are the fresh leaves
growing after autumn scatters her fire
And I want to
hold all of you in my scorched hands
Be the rainfall
that gives you all the life you deserve
Because I like how the rain feels
After the sun dries my skin to ashes
And I love the way I feel
When your skin touches mine

Bright
Bones scatter
When I am bright
Hear them rumble while I'm asleep,
The shadows creeping up on me -
I'm a body consumed
I feel springtime
but laying behind it must be thunder
A hex strung above me,
"you are temporary, this is temporary.
[Every smile is a little closer to The end] "
Everything ends
And
Everything dies
I feel fingers touching my eyes,
But for how long, but for how long,
But for how long?

What kind of bird... Are you?
Twelve years, Six books
Run away, run away
Hands together, eyes on me
Run away, run away
If you're a bird, then I'm a bird,
scissor sharp and bending
Sky above, earth below,
Run away, we'll make it
They can't hold us, we won't stay
Twelve years, us, forever

Because I did
Do you like the colour of the sun?
Because I did,
I loved it so much that when I looked too hard
And my skin seared red from the heat,
I only laughed and looked longer
Do you love the colour of the snow?
Because I did
The cold bites into me; it's a dog
that glitters like moonlight
deadly white teeth, break through me
Do you love the colour of the leaves?
Because I did
They fell round my feet and I'd try to catch them,
Spiralling, severed, sharp
They tell you I crushed them under my feet;
But I was the one whos still bleeding
Do you like the colour of the rain?
Because I do
I love the grey that soaks into the earth
And into my skin
Washes away like magic

Sugarplum
Watch your step,
sugarplum
Im waiting for you to fall
every time you scrape those knees
You're a little bit closer to
Death
You won't make it
You're pathetic
And you'll never be good
So don't even try
Go cry
Yourself to sleep
And tomorrow you'll wake
Just to make
The same mistakes again

Crystal
Eyes in the crystal,
It shatters languid lines across my brain
Im reaching out
I want more of you
Toes imprinting onto the sand, and I sink,
a little deeper
the sky is mine
The birds are mine
This laughter is mine
For a little while
My eyes are cursed in crystals
My hands?
Snatch for release

Day four
Day four.
And we are still here,
The rusted eyes of long-dead creatures wonder around and about us
We break rocks
To cause an avalanche,
but nothing echoes back

If the world was ending, you'd come over, right?
If the world was ending,
I'd come over.
If the world was dying and you were the last person on earth
I'd come over,
Before you begged and cried and screamed, I'd be there,
I'd come over,
If the City would shatter and the sky would fall,
I'd come over
And you'd kill me with your sharp eyes
Again

Eyes of Apocalypse
And my hands are not clean
Perhaps they never will be,
But I can still carry you home
When you're ready to sleep
I think I wasn't born
I was forged
In the eyes of apocolypse
Part-girl, part-weapon,
Part creature of earth
And they tremble
as I bring them to their knees
But you don't
I am survivor,
melded from metal scraps that fell out of
Desperation
A warrior, raised to heal wounds
But more likely to raze everything
To the ground
Dust settles. I don't.

Side Salad
It's something you leave
on the side of your plate
The green leaves are withered,
are bitter in your mouth
Sharp, like vinegar
Fresh but burns
All the way down and
Right to the back of the throat
You want to sink your teeth
into flesh
Bruised hands and
Bloodstains
So you reach out again...

They Bleed Ink
Have you ever caught a shooting star,
Falling star? bullet from a gun.
(hard hitting, skin searing, screaming)
Ever seen an angel, with a torn heart
Broken heart, wings twisted, feather snapped,
They bleed ink
stars Shatter like glass clatters like veins scattered, strewn across galaxies
Oh! Help me
Its too loud too quiet too perfect too much
And I want
And I want
And I feel
Like I want
What do I want?
Touch.
me.
I'm.
Burning
out
again

Star
When you see a star,
Its already dead up there
False light, fake bright
no healing
I am a star
I’m already dead up here
fake bright, stolen light,
no feeling
Napowrimo/Gliitchmonth day 11 “stars”
This was inspired partly by a lyric from this youtu.be/WZqqqZTPthQ
(you say that I'm a star/that just puts me far away/how can you expect me to survive in space?) I highly recommend Elliot Lee
