Lily Helppi Poem
Nervous from this angry energy
Tendons tight and lungs held steady
Control is what I am
Control this seeping cold
Control this rising anxiety
One day soon this balloon shall pop
You won't want to be here when it does
So run
Run to somewhere that my pain can
not effect you
Whether that be a planet away in the
cloud of drugs or simply the
next state over with a new
lover
Wherever you need to flee I shall not
judge
I only know that you do not want to
be here when this
body floods

Lily Helppi Poem
Hands crushing my ribcage
Horizon fading into non-existence
Order thrown aside carelessly by
chaos
Feelings pulsing through the
impalements from finger
nails in my heart
Tops of pine trees bending in the
force of this impending storm
Connections in my spine bending
from the strings in your
control
These winds will certainly leave us
destroyed
However, I am under your ruling so I
follow right behind you into the
hurricane

Lily Helppi Poem
Lazy hips/sugar lips
Dancing beneath these stars
Hazy faces/spaced out places
Still chasing the same daydreams
Dandelion fingertips/let me take a sip
The bets are wagered,the lines drawn
But we fall against the odds/take no regard

Lily Helppi Poem
A dreamscape of woven wanting
Fingers trailing frozen roads
Hearts with a feverish hope
And souls yearning to travel to foreign destinations
To escape this ghoulish town
Minds exploding in a golden fire on the horizon
As we reach for that impossible something

Lily Helppi Poem
My bones are out to play
Pale against the darkened sky
Jagged and splintered
I'm wary and livid
You said you chose me
But instead you chose the other
The muscle in my chest is weary
The sky is blue but I am too
Why does my brain wander this way
Faded into the blank sky
Trying to clutch a waterfall
Snow through my fingers
Melting/missing
Missed

Lily Helppi Poem
AND WE ARE ALL THE BAD PARTS IN ROMANTIC MOVIES
THE KISSES DON'T REMIND ME OF YOU/
THE FISTS TO MY RIBS MAKE ME SPEAK YOUR NAME
