Gumdrop sugar tongue.
Sweet as candy,
and paired so well with spice.
Woman are so pretty.
Little bits of heaven,
that remind me of watermelon
on hot summer days.
She is my secret garden witch,
little pieces of her fill me
with syrupy feelings,
I can't quite understand yet.
I find myself daydreaming
of saccharine kisses,
and broken hearts with baby tears.
I get jealous for no reason,
and I feel sunshine leave my veins.
StrangeStrangeStrange.
I cannot decide if I like this or not,
as mushy sickly sweet pastries
I cannot possibly like.
Maybe?
I can only wonder as the warmth of them
fill my brain.

title: ʀᴀɢᴇ

Rage can only be described as a companion.
It's hands will take your deepest desires,
your hidden secrets,
your shameful fantasies,
and scream.
Lungs raw and throat blazing,
heart pounding as you turn into a maniac,
fist burning with adrenaline
that shapes you into a lioness.
A burning emotion so powerful
you want the world in your hands,
all so you can crush it.
I used to think I could never get angry.
I was a sunflower on a breezy day,
My thoughts carefully drifting in the wind,
always facing the sun.
But when I decided
to look towards the shadows,
I saw what fury really meant.
When it takes hold of you,
your viens ripe and flaring,
eyes like medusa,
it's so liberating,
I can only hope no one gets in my way,
when I truly go mad.

I was never good enough for you.
I thought blood was supposed to be thicker than water,
but you showed me,
what a lie that can truly be.
You are a distortion of perfection.
A lie that you tell yourself,
A lie that consumes the air,
and turns you into black smoke and darkness,
so I don't have to watch,
as you grab my jaw,
and squeeze.
My childhood was a black and white symphony.
Your vibrato deafening,
my cries and bruises drowned out,
by your perfect show
that you performed continuously.
You were my mother,
but the grandiosity took hold,
and you turned into the monster under my bed,
that I fear the most.

Today we find our new normal.
As the rain pours down on our bodies,
and washes away yesterday's smiles,
and brings the sickness of today.
We must say goodbye
to those who cannot listen,
and be lonely for the sake
of those who still breathe.
Why must we wither our minds,
and let fear fester within us,
as the world outside grows quiet.
Why hoard from the worthy?
Why steal from the needy?
Please.
Let's not lose ourselves,
in a world gone blind by disease.
Please.
I don't want to lose myself,
in a world gone blind by death.

Defile me.
You burned my skin with lips of gold,
you crushed my flesh with nails of steel,
you mutilated my mind with words of smoke,
you stole my breath with hands of scars.
Defile me.
Let me swim in your eyes of hellfire,
so I can scorch you with your own flame.
You honey lips can't silence the wounded.
For blood smells far stronger than sugar.
Defile me.
Let me spew cotton from my lips,
like I'm chewing on pure wool.
For your own soul cannot stop,
as I shed your scales of glass.
You defiled me.

title: ꜰᴀꜱᴄɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ

Wouldn't it be wonderful,
if I was free,
from my midnight summer romance,
with death herself?
Her semblance is a gross exterior.
one that oozes a shine,
of fresh wounds and rotten eyes.
She cannot see the world as we,
for she has danced,
around the hate of many,
but only I,
took her as my lover.
Our eyes fog with a hope,
of release and the sweet aroma,
of nectarine and hunger.
She clasps a hand around my throat,
and I laughed in a manic glee.
For only she can bring,
my salvation of beauty.
One that bursts like a star,
for it's shine only lasts a second,
before I fade like all the rest.
Before I become a memory,
one that my loves wish,
could only escape them for a second.
For they put me in my grave,
without even knowing it.

I'll take what's rightfully mine,
with my virtue set in stone,
I'll crumble under the weight of the world,
I hold like Atlas.
My morality may shiver and burn,
but I'll make sure
to shake the ground with every step,
flames of the past licking at my heels.
As I wither and decay,
I'll die in a pile of dust.
Only to be reborn again,
with a newfound desire of pride.

The devil holds me tightly,
his hellfire so scorching it burns me whole.
He loves better than the rest,
his fire singing the tips of my hair,
as he takes me for himself,
his seduction inebriating.
My temptation will always
be stronger than my will,
so I let him devour my transgressions seductively,
as I know he'll appreciate a fellow sinner.
We love in the dark,
our light the fire beneath our skin.
My lover it will always surprise me,
as we drown together
in a tangle of ash and heat.
I would think the two of us,
would end in fire,
but my mistakes always feel
cold under their stares.
I know don't want to go to Hell,
but the devil will always be much stronger,
then the mortal men.

You're intoxicating.
I remember the galaxy behind your eyes,
absolutely consuming me,
as your smokey breath fluttered on my neck.
It's so dangerous.
You and I.
I hardly even noticed,
the bitter poison smeared on your lips,
when you kissed me so fiercely.
I was the snake,
and you my charmer.
But why were you the one with fangs?
You're golden skin,
was hypnotizing to touch.
Your hands so calloused and rough,
I felt distorted.
Like a tiger,
you barred your fangs,
and growled greedly.
You absolutely devoured me,
and I was so intoxicated on you,
I didn't realize,
that being drunk on your lust,
was so very deadly.

Please forgive me,
for the words I spill.
I'll pray at night for the gods to forgive,
my death tainted thoughts of blissfulness.
For you, I see how you've tainted your own soul.
It makes me sick
with a rage that could turn you to dust.
You believe yourself to be superior,
with entitled smirks
and a fake sense of selflessness
that turns to smoke as I shake
with no supporting backbone.
Take me away if you must,
sentence me to death row
if you find me guilty of lies.
But the truth of your actions
will always speak louder,
then my silent pleas as you
taunt your entitlement so.
You are greedy,
and you will never
stop stealing my possessions,
with that raspy voice
that declares they are yours,
as you spit my charity back in my face.
Please forgive me,
for the words I spill.
But just know, I will never
forget the things you took from me,
when I already had nothing.
You selfish
human being.
