Different door to the same house

I can feel the difference in my knucklesHow they clench around my palmThe knock is harsherAnd new again I’m sure I’ve got the right placeJust come a bit too lateThey’ve changed the lock on the doorBut not the gateI can get into the gardenI can lie beneath the leavesI can look up to my old…

Too much to ask?

Make me dance like the wind does the flowersAnd the breeze does the leavesMake me warm like the sun does the seaMake me cozy like the cushion does the sofaLike the vines do the treesMake me high like the smoke does my headThe powder, my noseThe slates, my bedLike the trees blow the leavesMake me…

Please

You think you could hurt me?Well you didn’t, I swear I didn’t spend nights cryingPryingMyself to piecesLike, why didn’t you care?You think you can break me?I call this character buildingBlocks like Lego Who I amKick it downIve got a new diagramI rebuild myself better each timeYou think you can love me?Try harderPlease

Movie star

Watch me foldWithout my earphonesThe life drains from my iris-esWatch me succumb to the dismay of lifeWithout my music I am nobodyBut with a soundTrackTo BackThe movieI am someoneI am everyoneI am a movie starI am the only oneWho thinks this muchI am meUnapologetic-ally

Like poison

The droplets fall into my armsLike you once did on my roofThe quiet smashOf breakingThe loud hissOf boiling water on my tongueThe rubber gloves never protected me fromThese kinds of chemicalsThere scent carries infinite milesThe effects last much longer

Was I?

Was I just an after taste?Of liquor and drugsOf last nights mistakesWas I just a lingering smell?Cologne stuck to your sheetsPut under a spellWas I just your walking stick?To help you stumbleAfter you were sickI never picked apart my feelingsI never ask why I chose youI never lost sight of sailing backCame home still loving…

Harming

Ive stopped harming myselfWith bottles and bottles every nightBut it was less painful than trying to sleep soberIve stopped harming myselfWith knives that I bring wherever I goBut all the new tattoos burn for longerIve stopped harming myselfBy bottomless loveBut I cry more, just alone.Have I really stopped harming myselfOr is trying to be strong…

My sobriety

Everything feels so much more romanticWhen you have drunk tinted memoriesThe first words, dances, kissesMean nothing in my sobrietyI feel like I’ve lost memoriesBut maybe I just see them clearerIt’s nice to look through the fogThrough the raindropsPouring down the windowAdding excitement to an overclouded, gloomy day.Everything’s feels easierWhen your body moves itselfThe first words,dances,kissesAre…
