  • the anger walks away from me

    and indifference settles in

    I need to be opened

    to feel fire in my bones

    I want to place my hands 

    on something powerful

    and raw

    everyday I look for the possibility

    in strangers

    to find a laughter 

    I can't help

    to find a satisfaction

    between skin

    my nights hold me still

    I have patience

    I believe

    that the beast I need

    will emerge from the shadows

    and ravage me

  • you were the last lie I had left to touch

    I should've felt you slipping from me

    I should've realized it long ago

    you aren't made of the stuff

    that believes

     

    no 

     

    you are made up of

    sex and perfection

    mouth and muscles

    brains and brawn

     

    you are made up of

    everything I want

    and everything I will never place my lips upon

     

    you are afraid of things that haven't happened

    you tremble in the shadow of events

    that haven't been named

     

    you have drowned your own dreams

    and mine along with them

  • There is no future I can face

    not today
    I will wake up tomorrow
    and breathe
    and walk
    and find my place among the strangeness
     
    I will forget you
    if I try
     
    somewhere
    there will be
    someone who can
    make my skin sing
     
    someone
    who
    likes my legs 
    best
    wrapped around him
    someone 
    who 
    I never have to convince
    to slip into
    my bed

  • I will not save your name

    you remain a number

    so that everytime I look at you

    I am not forced to recognize

    the effect you had

    you are a jumble 

    of nonsensical

    images

    you do not get to

    become

    a memory

    a person

    alive

    a breathing part of this story

    the story that started

    after you left

     

    you will never be a name

    you will never be a word

    that can hurt me

    ever again

  • I will not call you by your name

    I will not let you

    become significant

    again

    I want someone strong enough to lift me

    into skies I haven't felt yet

    I won't let this pain

    take me into the dark

    again

    I walk about

    looking for someone to take home

    someone to wrap in green sheets

    cover in laughter

    and keep in between my legs

    you never were the answer

    to my loneliness

    you never were

    any kind of hero

    just another broken down bastard

    afraid of everything

    he couldn't hold in his fist

    I leap from place to place

    leaving nothing but footprints

     

    I will find my heart's desire

    I will gain a love that cannot be 

    spit upon

    or broken by jealousy

    and indecision

     

    my fate will blind you

    with its happiness

    I will make love in every corner of the stars

    and your cravings 

    will lay unfulfilled

    your madness

    will be left behind

    your shadow

    will plague me no longer
