1.

tight lipped

 rose red

 clip wings

 force fed

caged bird

dull blade

piss stain

lets pray

 

2.

my swiss army wife

my servant my life

my oyster my pearl

my hostage my world

 

3.

(such tumescent beauty

such persistent frailty)

a white whisper of a woman

 

4.

-cut and burn leave and learn-

just get this fucking thing out of me

 

5.

a beep a click a life not lived

a scream a sigh a reason why

a fight a fall a night a call

a loss a love oh lord above

a kiss akin a thorn a pin

 

6.

i’m not enough

a star

a dove
