DID
This anesthetic descent into darkness
narrows my vision while I fly past the monstrous shadows in the back alleys of my brain
I am swallowed whole by my veins
At the speed of florescent light
Through the sketchy and reckless
Push & pull of a freak show and
I'm helpless
I'm stretched and squeezed
Through the neurons of my nerves
and rearranged
and pushed back out
Into something strange
While the rest of me waits
and berates
who ever is on trial today
I'm held in a
Repetitious neural dimension
Time warped detention
The space and the partition
A place that knows what my heart won't mention
I'm feeling sick again
It burns too hot
too cold and bright
too hard and mean and raw
and the rules aren't right
blinding danger chases the clumsy clumsy
Been pushed around by the undertow
Forced to be brave even though I'm scared
Yet
Part of me must crave
to carry these roles
again
day after day after day.

“I Can’t Be Mad - It Was Your First Time”
you were brand new and
it was all so exciting

I can hardly breathe
finding evidence in songs
that you once loved me
semc12
The playlist has you written all over it. Was it meant for me? Was it a cruel trick? Fate is unkind. Was it made for someone else? It doesn’t matter. I just wish I could go back in time.

I’ve suffered the cost
and gained much more than I’ve lost
placing bets on love

silent auction
opinionated woman, you should be remiss
quieted though the years
your world of words dismissed
a sweet thing to talk down to
a gentle thing to kiss
is better as a potted plant, prettier voiceless

if i were a symphony
you’d like that i'm
at times chaotic
and you would find
my
changes
in
rhythm exciting
and you’d appreciate harmony
and forgive dissonance
for discord makes the resolution more satisfying
and you’d savor
sudden changes in tone
and ruminate on the highs and lows
you would follow the flow
of my intimate improvisation
and when my progression was strange
and my motive dark
and my passage sharp
and even my tempo slow
you would not grow weary
and leave
not even halfway through
the performance of a lifetime
meant to be shared with you

Siren Call
i’m shattered
i’m weak
dazed, with mistakes to repeat
entangled
I fall
at the nightingale’s feet.

won’t you spare me over
your heart beats
mine spikes
but the EKG flatlines
You are a creep
for allowing this sacrificial act of contrition
over and over and over
because I believe in resurrection
but you don't
This isn't CPR
your lungs aren’t withholding
you pant that you want me
and I’m kissing a dead thing
It’s too late
I’ve already given myself
I’m exhaling my soul
A little death to bring a dream back to life
your limbs are strong and hard
but your spine is limp
and your eyes are dead
and it somehow it all feels wrong
This is necrophilia
I’m rutting against a dream that died
and I feel sick
you are beautiful but it’s rotten
and I’m sinking six feet down
holding on to your body
we are dead
and I can’t fuck us back to life

eyes nervously shifting
to remember to keep your options open
what a way to be forgotten
with me right in front of you
the scarlet letter seared onto my chest burns
like my cheeks
drawing attention to the giant L glowing on my forehead
just an ex you still fuck

I fall in love with waves
the best wave I ever caught
had the highest high
hardest crash
and
I road it to the shore
but it pulled away
They always fall back
