pack your bags
and
go get ready

to walk the walk
through the traffic
of differing directions
wave down the runway
and remember…
never, look back

Hypnotica

The girl showed her fangs, most when alone

Her nails grew bigger, clear and they’re cold;

Escort; chaperone.

She showed her fangs when she got him alone

Clawing at skin; she’s ice and she’s cold

Showed her his doors and how they won’t close

Inside the living; curtains and carpets stained with cologne.

Epoxy the vase, stuck on the phone

Shirt into shre...

It’s a bright day, brilliant colors all struck from sunrays

And the night which followed was quiet,

Cicadas ain’t out yet, I’m still figuring out how I hear the same sounds

Miles away and still hearing ringing and shouts.

I could never make sense how the skyline is loud

How the blue feels like it’s fighting the sun in a bout,

I watch it from a window while academic papers ar...

If it ain't you

I don't want anyone else.

I don't want to wake up with somebody other than you next to me.

And I don't want anything but your honest love in return.

I know I don't have much to offer,

I'm not the tallest,

The toughest, 

Or even the cutest.

But what...

A proud feminine,

Love bug again

I know, I know!

I will observe you in your glory

Take notes, mimic my old self and copy-

My memory

When i was ...

I feel my mind slipping, 

almost dangling from a cliff. 

Obsession and love are different, 

Yet similar with a twist. 

You left me in the cold, 

And so I left you behind. 

Although it breaks my heart 

this is my time to shine.

To fend for myself, 

That was the first lesson, 

A scared little girl,

With no direction. 

Which way do I turn?

I feel no warmth in your stay,

only light flames from your exhaust lead the way. 

The deadliest parts of you,

I hold high and mighty.

“Clearly it’s  not working out”

you tell me while I’m crying  

what’s wrong with me
