My mortal Sin 
     Breathing 
            Down my neck pearls of sweat 
      Dripping 
             Cold; 
             Wet air 
             Arrows shot in tandem; 
             Cupid in error 
Embrace me
             Solely
Rubber gloves 
             Mandatory

Maybe

Maybe one day I will go to uni, maybe one day later I will feel adequate, maybe years later I will understand my purpose, here on earth.

Teflon Shoulders

another night on Tumblr spent

YESTERDAY asleep in bed

no sunlight seen

no fresh air felt

spiralling downwards fast

as the corkscrew anew

no regrets

no punishment

sticks

no worries

only sorrows

Hand Me

I need a hand to hold
to mentally breathe
to physically squeeze
to metaphorically bleed for
to rhetorically
lean to in
silence

Again

I need to feel ;– again
Make me feel something ;– again
Assuming I ever felt ;– anything
that
is

L.O.L

LOL: ? where am I ?
LOL: drinks no longer lifts me; wingless bird
LOL: public health warning: fuck you; fuck
LOL; find alternatives
LOL: snow
LOL: gun
LOL: shards of broken glass
LOL: the bleeding no lie
LOL: bang bang blow
LOL: bang bang you
LOL: bang bang
LOL: no ; go

THE CAT

circle-no-10:

The story was a simple one,
fit to be read to a child,
but it ended with a cat running off
into the woods never to return again.

The story made him sad so sad, he
didn’t want to hear it no more. He
told them so, in words and with
tears, time and time again, to no
avail.

The scars still itch, deep down
inside, but scratching’s not possible
now. He’s given up hope on finding
the cat, but the bully is dead,
thank god.
