Heavy


Naive and clueless
Or brave and courageous
Love is a big word
Whispered without meaning
Beneath twisted sheets
But forever is too big
To fuck up
To fake
To toss around lightly
It is anything but light
It is heavy and makes you sigh
So take a breath
And get ready
To turn these promises
Into stone
Because we've started love
Let's begin forever

Dancing




I'm dancing between my sheets
While you're playing for keeps
Paper cranes and noisy sobs
Energy moving nowhere
Everywhere
Backwards
Forwards
A bee in a jar

skinny rhyme





her skeletal frame
keeps repeating names
from sweeter days
in the hope that it'll
keep her sane
but
it's
weeks too late
for keeping faith
she can't remember when a piece of cake
didn't end in retching pains
but the seasons have changed
to sleet and rain
and now a creeping shame
reminds her of faeces stains
Her minds like a
leaking
drain
Unable to hear reasonable claims
That she's seeping away
through the floor of this freezing cage
and until she
cleans that plate
this girl has
sealed her fate.






Twirling



There is incense curling upwards towards me
And I'm dancing
There is music all around me
And I'm dancing
A little wild
Red Indian child
Yelling and chanting
Songs from yesteryear
When things were a little more simple
And I'm dancing
Feral and free

Burning



It's been years since you've spoken to me properly
Looked me in the eye and told me something you mean
You never mean much
You're just mean a lot
But this time you're worried
Actually afraid
That i'll make the mistakes you did
While my life away
That's all well and good
But i'm a stronger breed
And i'll build my own opinions
Standing on a foundation of observation
and when I see something wrong
I'll have the strength to try and change it
So you can take your concerned words
And use them yourself
Take your own advice
Swallow it down
Because i'll be just fine
Building my own reality, thank you.

Gone


A dark congregation
Of familiar faces
Surrounding me
Enveloping me
Until
I'm gone

Child


I can hold my breath
I can furrow my brow
I can stamp my feet
And turn things sour
But it's just
Energy wasting
Remedy draining
Enemy gaining
bullshit.
So unclench your fists
and your rigid jaw
Because this is it
What you've been waiting for
Absorb it all while keeping your smile
Because that is the essence of your inner child.
