i am sick with longing
for something i cannot name,
lost somewhere dark and wet
inside myself, where i can
recognize everything and
nothing is familiar.
i am clawing and screaming
to be let out, but
louder than my nausea
is the silence of cries for help
left unanswered.

If there's something inside you that you don't understand, you might as well write about it.
What I mean is-
If there's something inside of you that makes you wish you could hang a protest sign over your own head and chisel out an exit hole in one of your bones, I'm probably going to find it mildly interesting.

“Tonight my ridges are violent and gritty. If you are not willing to get a dirty love underneath your fingernails, pivot your heel. I am not catharsis; I am a pair of crimson lips, ready to bleed between yours.”

Show me the parts of you that nobody else ever wanted to sleep with. Show me it all with the lights on.

You kiss me with your mouth wide open like you’re not afraid of swallowing poison. I taste the good and bad in you and want them both. We call this bravery.

notes on attachment
i thought i loved you
for one short moment
before you told me
you’ve mastered the art
of feeling nothing
what a horrible way to live
to hold emptiness instead of ache
to feed air instead of fire
to breathe without burning
to save your lungs
for six feet of dirt
i thought i could love you
but all that spark was just
the magic i am made of
and a heavy sigh
from your careless mouth
