Please

Please just tell me you're alright

Tell me the tears aren't streaming

That your soul isn't screaming

Let me know that it isn't the end

That I will still see you again

Tell me that you didn't take those pills

That you didn't make the pretty red spill

Please just tell me that you're alright

That you didn't let the demons win

Tell me that I will see another grin

That your spirit isn't broken

Let me know that you were just jokin'

Please just tell me that you're alright

To Be a Child

I miss being a child

When my fear was the dark

When tomorrow wasn't a question

I miss being a child

When school was fun

When the weekends were endless

I miss being a child

When food was a given

When money was for Monoply

I miss being a child

When stress was choosing a crayon

When work was cleaning toys

I miss being a child

When everything was simple

When everything was easy

Directing Sunbeams

I sleep with

wild honey

between my

teeth

it's sticky sweet

combed dreams

smother my

mind

a bee kind

calming buzz

covering my

being

The Whole I Cannot Mend

Let’s not fall in love

I don’t need any more scars

Or another name added

to my list of broken hearts

Let’s not fall in love

For falling from that high

Leaves you gasping for breath

Praying and wishing you could die

Let’s not fall in love

For I always say words that I don’t mean

And they always end up hurting everyone but me

Let’s not fall in love

Because I know who I am

And the truth is I’ll break your heart

Before you even get the chance to

Think about what happens next

For I’m so sorry but I’m protecting this whole inside my chest.

game over

I know you won't fall with me.

You'll watch me go but stand alone above me as I hit the earth.

You'll say you're sorry but not move to help me up.

You'll make any excuse to pretend you didn't see it happen.

You'll walk away before I can even catch my breath.

You'll move on because you never fell in the first place.

I've been reminded your words are just a mask.

I've heard every tale you've had to tell.

I've forced myself to stand tall again.

I've stepped away because I understand.

I've travelled on this twisted and road before.

I knew you never really loved me.

Licking Flames

I am desire

A slow, sensual walk

Through wildfire

Unrequited

Like a moth,

I was drawn

To your light

But you were not the sun,

And you did not shine

For me
