A Sit-Down With My Anxiety

My hearts beats
heavy in my chest,
As steady as 
the tapping of your foot 
on the linoleum.
The dripping faucet, 
the ticking clock, 
the bubbling coffee maker.
Only in silence 
does noise grow loudest to the ears.
My very own movements 
feel foreign and unnatural,
As disassociated as you in my kitchen.

The Devil and I

the devil and I,
We like to play games.
Deceptions the rule,
The tactic is hate.
Our set of morals, 
They stray from tradition,
People are jokes,
Drowning in religion.
Pain is a virtue,
And worship's a sin.
I'm fighting a battle
I know I can't win. 
But nonetheless, 
I dance around lies,
As we play games,
The devil and I.

Deteriorate

Teddy bears, sippy cups
Mindless sex, drinking up
Hide and seek, wood tree houses
Popping pills, the sweet distractions 
Peek a boo, making art
Bitten nails and lined up scars
Fifty cent lemonade
Crying eyes and hands that shake
Teddy bears, sippy cups
Here's to finally growing up

Breathe Me

My love for you
May have been
Desperate 
And 
Suffocating

But boy,
Was it worth
The pain

Wasted

drunk off the pain
High off the lies
A breath of relief
As you scar up your thighs
Always give 
Don't ever take 
Live in a world 
You, yourself, make
Emotionally gone
Physically here
Hoping that death
Will soon be near 
To kiss your lips
One last time 
Drunk off the pain
High off the lies

Naked

I can't believe you looked
Into the empty cave of my soul
And saw something there
For it has been too long
Since my numbness was stripped bare
In a moment
Of honest analization 
And my feelings became
Known to another.

Bleed

You affected me in a way 
easily compared 
to the tapping of a vein
Quickly, 
without hesitation
Waiting for the steady stream 
of blood 
you knew would come
Except you didn't tap a vein, 
you tapped my heart
And received 
my love 
instead.

A Life Unanswered

How is it
You were completely unaware
That the innocence that laced 
The edge of my being was 
Brutally unraveled 
each time you spoke my name?
Why is it 
that the feelings that were 
reserved 
for you never found their way 
across my lips to caress you 
as they should have?
When was it that I 
finally succumbed
to my inevitable truth?
That as I long for you,
You course through her
Because I never learned
to fight for 
what I wanted.
How can it be that
though I tried,
I was never the one 
who lit you up like 
July fireworks 
and
I was nothing more to you 
than the whisper of a friendship 
that had no meaning.
