Apples & Oranges
I was locked in a closet. The haunting shapes of wearable faces And the garb of pirates And the dancing wings of fairies Surrounded me with warmth. I should have been safe Here In a place where i found solace In the multi-colored fabrics that Wrapped around me and turned me Into someone I no longer recognized. Hidden from the world Seeking an orange Much like at famous apple In the religious texts. A play, a scene Dictating a regretted act of suicide That I would come to know so well. I was the one going to jump Off a cliff, but then fell Instead into the solace of oranges. The door to this closet Shut Unexpectedly. Without a word. And from there My pleas to get out Were never heard.

Affliction Addiction
Those sessions can sometimes Make me suicidal. And the reason why I enjoy them so much Is because I don't have the guts to hurt myself and so you make the decision for me. And yes, I do get upset when I don't remember things. It's just terrifying. I drove home paranoid of dying, Not afraid, Just anxious. Staying in the mindset is dangerous to say the least Sir and you will never understand. That's why you want me there for longer Than I can handle And then I crash. It's a high, really. The drug of pain is more Addictive, And who can beat that out of you? Ironic. I was clean for a While and then you brought Me back To the Start of it all The beginning. Where it was just experimentation At first. And then I will Be completely Yours.

Avoider
My lips on her lips. And her lips on her lips, on her lips on her lips, on her lips on her lips. On my lips. I don’t understand what’s going on. Hello? Please, I want your attention. Please, tell me what to do. I don’t understand. I’m not going to understand unless you teach me. This can’t be real. The Earth continues to turn as I talk about it for days. Weeks. Months. Bragging like a little kid who just won a participation trophy. It still doesn’t make sense. Yes. Yes. Yes. No. Why is it no? I’ve got the rope. Isn’t that what you wanted? I don’t understand. I’ll never understand. Best to just lie to me. Best to never tell me. I’ll forget just like how I forget everything. Can’t you tell that I remember everything that happens to me? The things I would do for you. Avoid the topic. Avoid the topic. Avoid me. It always comes to that. Left alone until the next one comes to leave me again. You were a blood-red iris.

I love this <3
8 AM, Wednesday
our love is a bar that doubles as a planetarium
it is the zoo after hours
it is the empty theater where they let the movie run
it is hands that touch reaching for the same book;
our love runs naked down the street with sparklers, 8 AM, Wednesday

Think Rationally About Thumbtacks
You push the thumbtacks into me
Like I'm meant to be a cork-board
in a college dorm.
And between the penetrated skin and the
bitter plastic holders
are folders of everything that could go wrong.
And they do.
When I get the courage to pull out a bloody tack
The papers and documents in the folders go flying through the air
and land in puddles along Bourbon Street the last
unknown I've walked through.
And I have to scramble
to pick up the papers before
you decide to stick more tacks in me documenting your absence.
When you all go into a room and drink absinthe
By the bottle and hallucinate
Yet even then I am not there. Not even in spirit.
And then I walk into another unknown
And a rusty thumbtack with a small file
And hearts doodled across the pages of star-crossed
lovers who rarely upset
each other.
And the thumbtack gets pulled from the bloody skin
An addition to the file
Then gets pushed
back
in.

Needles & Threads
I see you pull out a needle
And attach a thread
Whenever you would start to control me
I always wished I was dead.
To explain to you that I wasn't yours
Filled me with dread and sorrow
So to continue pushing off the puppetry
I would tell you to control me tomorrow.
You'd sew the strings through anyways
And tore my skin to shreds
The needles that poked at my skin for days
That's when I wished myself dead.
I remember a day specifically that
You tried to sew my heart
I said no, but you wouldn't let go
So we'd never be apart.
Then looking in the mirror one day
I saw such a mess
Those strings that you sewed to me
Were protruding out my chest.
You wouldn't believe how many
You would have been in awe
I tried to cut them with my scissors
But I had to get a saw.

When She is at Your Mercy (Villanelle)
When she is at your mercy You grab with your fists all her heart And you dragged her along on a journey
And yet she feels still unworthy Because she knew it from the start That she would be at your mercy
She will say, “S’il vous plait,” and “Merci” Hoping that you won’t depart She thinks that she wants to accompany you on this journey
But you cannot let her, not even out of courtesy For if she were to go unhurt She could not be at your mercy
You must let go of her early So that she does not break apart On this treacherous journey
And when you do not hurry To be lonely, but give her a start When she is at your mercy And you dragged her along on a journey
