A Shoot Off In Your Room

do you feel me, do you feel my energy?
do i linger in your sheets when I’m gone?
have you ever felt tension ache your bones?
can you taste the gunpowder on my tounge?

Are you infiltrating? Are you raiding my city?
trying to destroy every one of my walls
Theres a haze from your grenades and your bombs
But still a fortress around your heart

I'm not the enemy
your lips brush my cheek
yo...

And every time I left I wondered if you wished I stayed
And all the words I left unsaid
Better its too late.

God knows it killed me inside
All the time I spent.

Blue eyes
My heart melted like ice

And yours was that cold.

There Is No Oxygen On Your Planet

It is painful.
Laying in the same bed as someone
knowing
they are light years away.
Somewhere in a galaxy that cannot be reached
somewhere in a galaxy where life will never be sustainable

I Thought I Could Make You Shipwreck

I thought I could be some sort of rainstorm
Electrify you like lightning
Roll through your veins like thunder
I was sure I was something of a siren
I could make you shipwreck after I flood your heart with desire
I wanted to be magic in your soul

I Learned From My Mother

My mother taught me to never need anyone
That is what I know
That is what I learned

But I had a father who practiced abandonment and convenience
So I learned those too

Those are not the things a father should teach his daughters
I should have found comfort, compassion, a rock
love

I figured out that even if I need
or think I need those things
I don’t

I am my steady rock
I know ...

You Have to Water Flowers

You will crumble when you stop living
For yourself
You have to water flowers to make them bloom

The Walls of Your City

I would have given you the world
But you built your walls 10 miles high

I am hoping…

The sea in my heart will

             E

       I

And destroy the city
Where you left me on the outside

out of love

What a home is not

People are not homes
Repeat it.
People are not homes
Tell yourself again
Write it
In ink
On every part of your body
People are not homes

A foundation cannot be fickle.
