Buried beneath a place

Where we sleep

Where our dreams come true

Stuck in between two moons

   Burn the love

Just give me a break

 A cigarette

This tongue exists only for

My lies.

Don’t touch this skin, it doesn’t

Belong to you anymore

 Need to find my way out

   Had enough for my teeth

Fall out and I can’t seem to

Pick them up

Stuck in that room

this past year my dreaming tree died

      a place where i used to hide

sometimes just for a day

             other times maybe for weeks

a place where my voice was

heard even when I didn’t speak

always giving my love to the wrong one

  one who steps on my bones, 

dry and brittle

 just to break them into pieces

to make me feel the pain 

 Trapped in a light

I saw

    A flame

 Before the storm

Before our mess

Let’s push

Let’s bring it back

To the beginning

Before I choke

On the tears

That have been

Here for years

Can’t undo the

Time we’ve spent

Or the time held

Close to our hearts

cut her free

It can’t work if we don’t have time

Take my eyes, take my ears

I can still hear

I know you don’t care, I know your

Mother wouldn’t mind

Just kill me here, with the knife

That you lick at night

 

Inside my brain, living and hanging

Flies, withering away

Trying to make sense of this love

That you claim to give me

Balancing

Admire the illusion

The colors that sink further

Can’t seem to catch my breath

Digging deeper, follow me

Dig deeper

To find nothing here

Alive,

Unlike the time

Not a thing here

Is alive

To find space to breathe

To eat the sunrise

Even before the day

I can’t touch the ceiling

I can’t see the walls

Together a square forms

And I’m there

On the floor

Bleeding

I may die

I am dead

crying
