World’s Worst Roommate
I don't know why I'm still living with you under my roof. Recently it feels as if this house belongs to you.
We fight every day. You always win.
You're here, and my breath catches in my throat.
Your hands clamp around my neck and tighten until I feel my cheeks flush hot with blood.
You shake me until every limb is quivering out of control.
You scream the exact words I'm trying to avoid thinking of, making my head swim and pound.
You plunge a hand into my chest and I feel my heart clenched in your fist. You pull and squeeze until I'm conviced that you're going to tear the organ from my chest.
I swear I feel my skin burning under your touch.
I don't know why you do this to me. Sometimes I haven't even done anything wrong. Somehow you convince me that I have.
I'd rather be homeless than live with Anxiety any longer.
My Penis is this size
I call Women bitches
I drive this many cars
I live in this size house
I smoke this much Dope
I probably do a lot of other drugs a lot
I cant sing
I act cool
I talk incoherently
I am this colour
I own this much gold
I make fake gang member signs
I am harder than any other man
I own guns
I have great taste
I am always on holiday
I ve been in jail
I am unquestionably hetrosexual
I do not like some races
I believe in God
I am original
I have murdered people
I have no respect for the law
I am a business man
I am sensitive
M.
Maybe if I murdered your mother
And stitched a zipper into her spine
And stepped into her pale skin
Aged with an Appalachia fog
I could exist in your world --
And zipping myself into your life
Ruminating inside your existence
I would saturate your mouth with my saliva
Moistening your heat with --
The richness of ...
My blood is sticky
I am a tightrope strapped with confusion
And I miss you.
Your boy will sail away and
Your mother stays busy
I want to slither
Like a snake under
Your knitted afghan of
Prophetic words weaved
Deceiving me and --
Leading me into
A false love borne
From faithful obligation
You told me the pool was blue
And they named you their Savior
Your demons are perched on
Your back Weakened with obligation.
I drink until the words are blurry on the page
One long run-on sentence continuing into --
Oblivion waits
And my flesh is thin
Like paper doll arms
Thin and tearing
And disconnected from
Everyone else ...
I fucking miss you,
And I can't undo this.
Memories Are Dead
The stillness in the tree grew reverent as the leaves turned crisp with the empty limbs and cold bark.
The stems seemed so fragile, that a single cry could shake them loose, leaving them to spin and crush into the soil.
The laughter in the grass, the dirt streaked tears, hunting for butterflies, all of it now spinning, just as it seemed it would, as the sound escaped, crushing over his grave.
Helpless
The tugging at
my heart,
Harder than before,
Like someone had
Punched,
Kicked,
Shot and
Stabbed it.
Seeing you with another,
Something that I can't stand
But I keep a smile on my face
Every time you hold her hand
Every time you tell her how beautiful she is.
No matter how strong the pain,
No matter how much I want to cry,
I will smile
I will stay by your side,
Like nothing is wrong.
The world will go on,
Oblivious to my heartbreak
I will watch you and her
You with her
Smiling,
Crying on the inside
Slowly falling apart
But still I will smile for you
You won't ever know
How I feel
I won't be able to take your rejection
You'll just give up on me anyways
I'm not like her
I'm not as pretty
I'm not as lovely
We would never have worked out
But I still cry at night
I still think of you
You and me,
You with me.
I'm losing my mind
I'm breaking
But you will never see it
I'll still wear that smile on my face.
