I can’t explain it in any other way but to call it soulless, devoid of life, bereft of some kind of weight of presence. When you’re looking at moving pictures, scrolling through feeds, constant insisting notifications and messages. One can’t help but to feel some disgust, no?
If I write it in blood
Would it read the way I intend?
Some need a sign, some need love
I knew life would hurt but I can’t pretend
I was blind to how much
And I hear the shake in your voice
When you lie say you don’t give a fuck
But baby that was never our choice
As you know
If you wanna feel something
I can provide it
This existence is numbing
I see you hiding
Are you living
Or surviving?
I think I know
I suspect I do
What’s eating me
What’s eating you
We can identify
I only feel it’s right
That we try to
I’m no saint
But you look like eden
And I’m begging
Praying
Pleading
You’ll open those gates
If you’ll have me
If you’ll keep me
Take all my sin
And match my breathing
I know as well
As you do
I get it
That life is hell
But with you
I find heaven
I know we really shouldn’t
But I know you wanna
Girl we get so busy
But when I say I need you
I need you like water
7 days is just too long
For me to go without a
Lingering kiss on your stomach
And we only have 5 minutes
But baby fuck it
I need this
And you do too
I see you claiming hunger
With a mouth so full
And here I am
I’ve barely grazed my teeth on you
So pray that you forgive
The extent of my sin
If you can find the acceptance
To let me in
Now won’t you
Say my name again
Just like you did
The first time love bit you like this
It’s highs and lows
I write more notes
‘Til I blow up this phone
Psycho I know
Like why play cold
When I show up can’t cope
Restless in my heart
‘Til that shit stops
Restless in the dark
Thinking ‘til dawn
I hate the sun
I hate the warmth
My head is done
My head is gone
Mentally I’m gone
If it’s meant to be it’s on
This one is sending me
It’s setting me off
Thinking about ending me
Is getting me off
God
She calls me insane
While I’m palming her thong
Playing in my face
I’ve been crazy all along
Psychotic but god
I’m the psycho that you want
Who could ever love a monster like me, and if you claim it to be you, then what is it that makes you so devoted? These words from scarred hands in smudged, scrawled ink—and you tell me my writing is beautiful? The only beauty I see is in you, my muse.
I’m sorry I don’t care for your wisdom, your “good advice”, I never wanted to know better, I only ever wanted to live my life. That’s the contention between us: You want to be right, but what good is being right if you never fall in love, watch a sunset, see your daughter’s eyes?
I don’t care for the glory, the fame, the fortune or whether or not anyone will remember my name, this is enough for me—to have you here, line after line, your words and mine exchanged, arranged and intertwined.
Fuck immortality, I want to die by your hands, kill me, wrap your fingers around my neck because I only breathe for you anyway, every molecule of oxygen I inhale was only needed to profess my worship, and my last breath will be used to give thanks that we were bound a lifetime.
It’s the way her lips tease me with proximity, the lightest feather-graze of hers on mine with barely air displaced, and the breath caught in my chest that I can’t release for the life of me, god, look what she did to me.
