Unloveable me

Hidden in weeds
 heart vavle on squeeze 
Watch me not bleed
Even if it cuts deep
Keeps you away from 
My  boredom  pale bule face
Made you see, me
The unloveable me
 On a big 
  screen 
undressing this soul
A human floating above
Spirts weak 
from night terror screams.
Dark heart beating weak

You stared  right though my core.
As my reflection hides and retreats .
Shadows knows you will be bored .
Not fooling me.
Once you see all the stains 
 I dont succeed .
The odds that were against me.
 The unloveable me.
No way you will  feel the same 
Once you finally see 
Our
last kiss, 
was  from the night before
And nothing makes u miss me
Will it be my last
Don't make it yours
Unloveable me
Hidden in weeds 
Smoke and more
When I was slowly drifting away
Into space.
 saying no more
You left my hand
Sitting lonely 
When you were on your own course, 
I wanna land  
In my forgotten  land ,
Of the Unloveable me .
Thinking of the things we had 
In a middle of sinkhole
As earth swallow, 
 us whole 
Searching for another dark tower 
 that holds the key
You were the one to save me

Hoard you

Stacking  mistakes on top mistakes
Putting everything in its place.
Keeping  my Framed  Memories.
 On display
My  heart Hides the flaws 
With paint.
Meaningless things filling  the room
becoming  a hoarder that is  hiding  you.
 Kilos  of your love get caught in 
hidden traps , i set up.
My numb heart starts 
Beating to your sounds,
 And the  Rhythm Of our 
  Tambourine bed.
  I'm   everything you ever
Wanted !
Aslong I get to hold you!
Im whomever you  want me to be
Only to show there's  no room 
Not even for me !

  you are my  Feeding tube   
I need
 A Secret Recipe
 Its a  sickness , 
  hoarding all things of you 
 Hope you never witness 
The  marks and flaws under all this 
When you sand down my shell
I dont know who will peek out 
I'm not what you seem
You  are chipping away
On a thin Spine  of my pain
That Hides me from you
I feel the need to  hoard,  you
 If someone esle finds you
They won't see all things I see.
I'm gonna warn you, 
I'm the hoarder that Hides you
 from everyone and everything 
Praying that another hoarder-lover never finds 
And  take you away.
 I wanta see your face 
Everyday 
 my sickness worsen
Hoarding you for me!
I'm so selfish.
Hoarding you for me 
Is that selfish of me?

Tide

Beaches sceams, cursing the night.
"Memories buried in the wravering wash of time".
Forgot what you were calling me that night.
Like sand covering with the tide.

We lost what was in sight,
But knew we're right there
It only takes time, 
For bad "Memories buried in the wravering wash of time"
Sand and years cover them.

Let the good wravering memoires
Show our light.
It was most of our life.
I know we will be buried side by side.
We were wash by the tide.

Dust

I Know, Im a grain of sand
Fixated on you.
We are dust ,in this master plan .
Ill just, blow away.
To a never happy ending 
If you dont stay.

Let's make this promise.
I Don't wanta stop,
  what we do .
I'm fixated on you.
Everything you do , 
is sweet!
While you think,
 you 
 tap , 
 your lip ,
and stare at me.

I wanna stay in the world
 With you
 Let 
  pattens
repeat.
Never bored of our routines .
Until the day , we blow away.
Until we are gray.
I don't want you to be with 
anyone but me.

Love watching
 what you become 
 Learn 
how you do things .
Like move so
   delicate-ly. 

When you step off
 I pull you UP .
Things that are beautiful can hurt too.
Hopefully I deserve you.
A novel we started
 Sitting on shelf, 
 collecting dust.

Old, gray and weathering away.
I'm the One
Who
Loves you.
We can collect dust any day.
As we grow and Withering away.
Want the world to know
You have my beating heart and 
I have yours too.

We're
Dying 
With this Planet.
 We made art.
Leaving them behind,
We will miss them too.

Our love turns to dust .
we withering away,
 We're in the wind, carried away.
Into the world we only knew
Where our love begins, 
we become one with it.

Our art is safe 
We will 
  see each other , one day.
How we started 
Back to dust
In the wind 
Truilling around us.
Dancing dust
when becoming one
With the planet
 we once loved.

Comfortable Vill

My heart drumming fast

My blood on the freeway 

Searching for a place 

I'm not sure, it exists.  

Not feeling great.

Losing patience,

not brave

 Everyone needs a break 

looking for this place .


Where can we find it?

 Sit calmly

 I'll try and let  the meds

settle in quickly.

Pretending  I'm there 

In Comfortable Vill.


Our veins are on the freeway

 to freedom.

Our  blood is 

putting pressure on emptying .

Never wanting to love or to open up.

We are just so uncomfortable

with ourselves.


Still seaching for comfortable vill ?

Does it live in me/is it  in you ?

Will we ever be?

No one to blame ,

where you are .

Uncomfortable Vill is in  your own skin.

You are wearing it.


Comfortable Vill, 

  only exists 

If you let it in.

Is there a wish list,

to be accepted?

 Am I crisp , aren't I clean?

It's so prestigious!

Would we ever leave Un-comfortable Vill?


Comfortable vill 

Come to me?

Got my heart  in craze,

drumming and beating 

With the band on fat tuesday.

Trying to find my place 

With no signs and no E.T.A

No resting ground for guilds

No  losers found.

Right after shaky ground

You maybe older when found.


You  may make it to Comfortable vill. 

Why do I have to wait?

 I wanta speed up, get there with you.

You're right, Where u need to be .

It's not to late.
Comfortable vill,
Is
Loving you

 Exists in your own 

Skin.

 Comfortable within. 

Let us live and breathe

With no sin.

In Comfortable Vill.

Gutter lane

She stole my heart

What's left of my walls.

gutted and hollow

 floating hearts

Sinking away in the gutter lane

Of bad memories.

I'm a Puzzle Man

I was a poor boy from New Orleans.
Living in fear.
No one taught me how to steer.
My A.D.H.D made be focus on the fear.
The O.C.D made me re-live all the worst years.
Always told myself I was better ,
I  was a knight.
Still being pierced, by all the spears.
Thrown though me.
Always being  judged for missing pieces.
Im puzzle -man .
World pulling me apart.
Kings and Queens taken tiny bits
without my consent. 
 Castles where I  wanna be ,
Reconstruct me.
Never understanding the skin 
of my border 
I wanta see the picture of
 me, that was order
When  Its completed. 
I'm a puzzle- man.

 All of me,
I'm right here
Where , I wanna be
My depression makes me weak.
I reek of suicidal thoughts,
  prozac doesn't help me.
When I was younger, I wanted death.
Now that I'm  older,  Im scared to death.
The perception in limbo
screaming mix match pieces 
 where am I ,
meant to fit in?
 I'm a puzzle man.

 Where is all of me?
I'm right where,
 I should be .
I wanna see,
What you  see!
Do see all the burdens' I bring?
This defeated pawn 
The one that screws up everything .
I'm  Mixed 
Shaken, 
 on a surface .
My earth
 expose to all my secrets.
Nothing is left to me.

Other than my last missing piece!
my heart skipped a beat.
When you were walking towards me.
I'm a puzzle man.
Come rearrange me
So we both 
Could  fit in this puzzle world , that we don't belong in 
Are you my last missing piece?
To be complete.

Solitude Sea

A feather floating away from your brain.
As he is whispering your name.
Pushing all your feelings away from me.
Landed on a box, In a solitude
Sea
 People scooping up things they don't need.
Whining, that their boxes never ring.
Missing package that should fill a void? 
No one's coming 
looking for me
With no life ring
 in a solitude breeze 
Across the sea

A feather floating in the breeze.
No one's missing me.
A gust of uncertainty, 
My emergency contact is blank.
I landed right where I should be.
With the rest of the forgettable things.

Trash, even my mother told me.
I belong in the solitude sea.
Floating from everything. 
Stuck on tape sinking down with a box
Of forgettable things.
 Bottom less solitude sea 
waiting for me.

People reorder their forgettable things 
She's thinking of him when she's not with me.
Im not on anyone's brain.
Forever in a solitude sea.
Floating around careless free.
Washed from gutter Im not clear.

Wishing, I was unforgettable .
from you brain
Definitely don't want to be
  floating away
I'll get stuck on tape 
 sink to the bottom.
Feather got away.
 
Just like my mama told me
 I will always be in a solitude sea.
 a gust of wind took me
to a solitude sea.
No breeze .
No life ring!
Im forgettable!
sinking.
unloveable
Just hoard things to fill my void.
Dust and tide covers me.

2am with lips with cream

You only see me on the screen.
 How do you know you wanna be with me?
You list all the shower scene,  from your favorite movies.
 My inadequate sweat on my forehead, hope you cant see.
I want to know what's your favorite ice cream?
Would you give me a taste of your lips, with cream.

Point me in the right direction for gods or spirits .
to explain.
The birds , the bees.
Whats come over me.
Im not a sinner 
Only when you are with me.

Dark blurry night 
In my  apartment
wishing we are together .
Counting the days until we see
Each other in the  flesh.
 we say good night,
screen goes dark
 I think 
Your sweet 
Voice whispering through the smell of my pillowcase

Pretending the  neighbors are you and  me.
The ones  who are 
smashing their bed 
frame 
into my space.
Keeping me awake,
Wishing for you here
to put me to sleep.
Only wanting  your lips with cream.
For now it's you and me
 on the screen
 at
2am
Eating your favorite ice cream.
