I don’t forgive you

I was cleaning my bathroom this morning

With a sponge and

You knocked on my front door

You knocked on the door that you slammed in my face

A couple years ago, a couple years and ten days

From today, but that doesn’t matter ‘cause you’re staring in my face

You’re too late

So why, why, why, WHY

do I still give you a second chance?...

Pain Pressure

The only thing hurting my heart right now

Is you and your reptilian breath

Pressing down on me like water pressure

Too heavy to push away

Too sharp to breath through

My chest heaves

My lungs scream

Everything you’ve ever said is leaning down on me

My ribs will explode

My heart will implode

Because I can’t get you off my chest

Because you’re heavier than the rest

Because if I ever let this pain g...

I like you.

I don’t really enjoy falling in love

But I prefer it to falling in like

It doesn’t come with silly butterflies everytime someone says your name

It doesn’t come with too much laughter whenever we’re talking

When I’m in love

I don’t stutter

I don’t fall at first glance

When I’m in love

I’m in love with the parts of you I chose to accept

But I don’t love you,

I like you.

Or so I tell m...

_Who is supposed to love me,_

_If I can’t love myself?_

The ground below my twisted toes is just another gate to hell.

Snow may fall and hail may fall also,

But in the end water is life.

The same water below the bridge

Where I took my ow-

_Who is supposed to save me,_

_If I’m the devil in disguise?_

I’m not scared of the darkness;

The darkness is scared of me.

Light may penetrate every shadow

Brown like the dust they were born from

Streaked with colours placed in the sky

After the flood saving one of his kind

The ark comes alive under his careful digits

They are accustomed to this...

Those brash brass things

That beat and were beat

Those incredible rocks

That created and tore down

Those spat-out things

That were charred and turned ‘round

Those fingery things

He doesn’t have them now...

_Hello?_

I wish I was a little bit older so I wouldn’t have to wish

Or reach

For the box on top of the fridge

Or reach

For all the dreams that aren’t running so I can’t chase them

Molly wishes she wasn’t named Molly

Abigail is thankful she changed her name

She doesn’t want to twin with that woman

Who is older

And doesn’t have to wish

Or reach

For the box on top of the fridge

Or reach

For her dre...

It’s hard to be inconspicuous when you’re hanging upside down

It’s hard to say you’re happy when you’re still wearing a frown

It’s hard to love your brother and it’s hard to miss your mom

It’s hard to call your best friend and tell him “you’re the one”

It’s hard to be a smartass and it’s hard to be a dunce

It’s hard to get a therapist and it’s harder to need one

“It’s hard to be a lesbian but it...

The heart said to the head,

And the head said to the heart,
