Puke
I'm angry
Knock twice
If you're hurting
I lied
I don't miss you
Pick
The scab
Dirt
On your fingers
Rot
Like Roadkill
Kill
The lights
I'm dumb (I need you)
I'm done (I hate you)
I'm dying
SELF HARM
You look exhausted
Dear
Have you been eating well?
Open your mouth
And let the secret wriggle in
Flies and centipedes
Too many legs and wings
We'll cut them out
The well worn path
And snag
Blooming bruise is a ruse
And your mother suspects
Never meant to hurt
Anyone but one's self
Always had the best
Intentions
But you threw yourself down
The stairs yesterday
Split lips, got your
heart broke on purpose
let's pour some salt and lemon in
Your eyes bleed saline
But they still stare vapid at
Stunning white noise from holiest sources
I heard about
The knot you're tying
No one knew it was
A noose
KOI POND AT DAWN
When the morning came
It brought no warmth
Only shrill birds
Singing like your voice
Overwrought and apologetic
Your sorrow was maddening
To look upon, but
worse still, I think
To feel
Girls! Look what you're doing!
You let the wolf in the back door
I thought you would have known better
Then to let me find
Your milky moon eyes
Staring out of a koi pond
Were it possible
I would kiss pink your blue lips
Were it plausible
I would give your frigid fingers
My own warmth
It's too late even to shiver
You're too far gone to whimper
Your lungs are full of water
And I cannot help
But wonder
How much of it's my fault
Critique?
