Hypnotica

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...

I-95

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

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.

I want every day, every step I take, 

Every breath that is inhaled into my lungs,

Is dedicated to you.

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...

Bring Back the Pin Up

Bring Back the Pin Up

I was a sexual woman

I was…

Until my consent and its importance,

I was robbed of.

This is the year where-

I rediscover her

In my coven

Friend to friend

My witchy woman tell me how to be-

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 ...

Cliff Hanging

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? 

D...

No title to this sad song

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
