I fear for my brother, holding on to his childhood. He hardly understands anything yet, but once he does, his understandings will knock his head right off his shoulders.

Lost; a Path of Darkness
I fear for my brother, holding on to his childhood. He hardly understands anything yet, but once he does, his understandings will knock his head right off his shoulders.

They’ll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine;
This is about to get a bit durty. Prepare yourself. I was very drunk writing this, and I found it today, so take my drunkenness into consideration as you read.
The heat and sweat; it builds.
I open my eyes to see two small flickers of light—i notice that these are your eyes.
Although it is dark and we move quickly, I can see them. You hands on
my lower back; it arches towards your bare chest. Your hands slide upwards,
higher, higher, until you feel the muscles in my shoulders move and contract. I bring one of my hands gracefully from your jaw
to your chest, holding myself up and pushing you away. Our bodies move in quick rhythms. The intensity makes our pulses quicken. We cannot catch up to our breath, for the pace moves along to our tongues, hands, hips, lungs. My hand slides slowly back to the side of your face. My fingers discover the back of your neck, now blanketed with tiny droplets of sweat. My eyes close again to feel the rhythmic pulses, although you will not see them closing. Your fingertips continue to dance on my back, sliding underneath the clasps of my brastrap. I let you unclasp it, trying to let some heat slip away from between our bodies. Once it is unclasped, your hands slide back in front, cradling my breasts. Your lips on them paralyze me for a moment as I have a flash, back to this same feeling, but with my first love. I see his lips. The memory quickly vanishes, and you come up for air. I begin to feel fatigued, so I turn into you. My head presses against your heart, beating quickly. You have never felt a rush like this before, although I have. I’m not sure what it is that I find so comforting about your body. Your chest is relaxed but strong enough to hold me close. I softly place me hand on your sternum, feeling the relaxed energy. As I look up at your flickering beady eyes, you kiss me.
This night was not about love.
Why must you act as if you love me.
You tenderly kiss me as you thrust your body deeply at mine, leaving me bruised for the next few days.
New close friend of mine: do not bring love into these hours. These was not a minute of guilt until you tenderly kissed me. The guilt slowly floods into my brain. The slower it accelerates, the more painful it becomes. You then whisper that you want more of me, but you have worn me out.
I return your kiss with another of its previous kind; soft; tender; I slide back on top of you with both hands pressed against your solid chest. This time, your hands slide up, grasping my opposite hips. I put my lips to your neck, hardly sucking with the small amount of energy left in me. I want to continue but my body has nothing left to exert. I pull away from you to grab my pants. I giggle. Once we are clothed again. I cling onto your damp body, ignoring the sweat we drenched eachother in. You hold me and grab onto my hand. I am shocked, until I see that you are quite the actor. I should just pretend you love me, as our fingers clasp together. Inside, the pleasure has turned into frustration, because you brought love into this grame. I will see you on Monday in the halls, and we will act as if nothing happened. But I gave part of myself to you, and you gave yourself to me. It would have been much easier, had you left love at home, out of the game. Now, when I see you during lunch, and our eyes awkwardly meet, I will not see the two flickers in the dark—I will see your eyes close up to mine as you kissed me tenderly. Now that you have showed me love, I will be confused. However, you will continue to bring “love” into the lustful nights your spend with other naive girls. You will probably drench the same leather couch in sweat, and pull the same blanket over her shoulders. She will love you for a moment, and cling onto you, because you put on the act. On Monday, when your friends ask who made your neck pink and purple, your reply will be “nobody”, you will laugh, and you will shrug the question off.

Like an Old Friend...
Higher than you.
Ready to hold everything that surrounds me, I
pick up my mind, scattered behind your blistering feet,
while you stand motionless at the start of the path.
I cannot move you yet,
I am sober. I am
lying on the floor like the garbage you mistakenly
thought I was.
I am motherless
Can she feel you?
Not your breath, but I do hear it.
It's dark, and I'm
elevated.
May I climb up this tower you sit on and
listen to your eyes?
I am--the waves pulsate and are not afraid to
touch one another.
You are not afraid to touch me
But I cannot touch you.
I dont not wander into lit alleyways;
for I am elevated,
I am higher than you.

I Loved It When You Held Me High, I Loved To Hear You Talk
6.18.2009
I never leave my soul at home.
here are a few different things.
They're pretty similar, I realized when I was basically back into consciousness when the sun was up....but that's alright.
Your feathers still float here,
Carried by wind,
Floating carelessly,
Endlessly,
Painfully.
Some days they do not move, but sit
And watch me.
I despise
I despise their color
I will not sit here anymore
I need to hold on to every piece of my body, for fear
That it will follow the wind
And your feathers
In their red color,
Dripping.
My body floats.
I would try again but
I'm afraid it would not be as careless
But it would be painful
And that would be the end...

I told the man I lost myself
way back there
By the pile of dust
and the stereo that has forgotten how to play.
I ask him to help me find my way to bed
But he was not there to help me.
He kissed my forehead and
brushed away my loneliness--
He brought fear to my head.
My wrath, my love.
My wrath, my love, he poisons me
I will not drink such shallow tones.
I will close my eyes and hope
to hear you crying.
This man helped me remember anger, and
then I realized who he was.
He knew exactly how I could find my bed
And he would take me.
But now is not months ago,
Right before I tore out my last thought.

I cannot hold you unless I'm high--
Higher than you.

lying on the floor like the garbage you mistakenly

This morning, the sun will not simply sit on that chair,
poised more elegantly than I ever learned how to sit.
This morning, it will be wishing with the clouds.
The rain, today, will hug my face while I frown
upon my dull memory.
I will lose you, I promise. But...
Not this morning.
This morning, see, the rain carries your voice.
It whispers to me, each drop your tongue.
I do not wish to touch the lips that possess the things you tell me.
You are thoughtless
I am drowning
______________________________
I'll picture you, picturing me.
You are not here.
You are out, jumping into the summer water, and I am
in, waiting for spring.
I am worthless because
you will not stand in my driveway?
I will cut my body into pieces
And I will spoil in the sun
I will wait for spring
And dip my toes into the water,
for I never leave my soul at home; it will
get to thinking.
And it might wander to her driveway where
I'm already standing.
I did not wait for spring.

Bury My Love
Countless times.
Over and over.
Reverberating through my infuriated mind.
Your words are so low that I've brought myself to
Your level.
Am I just something to look at?
Am I just something to pleasure yourself with?
I am thrusting my fists into your gut, my hair is a
Mess, I'm tangled with distraught emotions, I'm tired.
I'm fucking tired of wishing you to insignificance.
Someone answer my screams.
I turn to face the mirror and see what has built up inside of me.
In this mirror I knock you to the floor, step on your body -- dirt -- as I leave the room, and
Leave you behind.

Yesterday Is Here.
Lie on the floor,
Lie on my back,
Reminiscing and thinking.
I'm a nostalgic wreck.
The thoughts of Wednesday afternoons in the park with my dad, driving around town with my mom, long nights of high discovery with my first love, shouting at my brother to turn his music down, they all fight my sick memory.
I want to remember all the old times, but their distance keeps me too close to tears.
Why can't I be in that purple dress, running around, sitting on my dad's shoulders again?
Why must I yell at mother with full resentment?
Why am I so alone without him?
Why is my brother not here to frustrate me daily?
One reminder of any of these things makes me
Loathe myself.
I cannot be who I want to. Why? Why, why?
I'll wait until I find the answer, but
I don't think I ever will.
Now here I am, I'm 87 years old, lying sick on my deathbed, similar to the position that I once lied in on my floor. I'm thinking of the same things, wondering why.
But this time, I'll feel guilty and filled with regret, because
'Why' is what held me back.

You've Got A Look In Your Eyes, When You're Saying Goodbye, Like You Wanna Say 'Hi'
I can't help it 'til
You start.
You had me hanging myself by my neck,
Missing you,
Waiting on you.
Yeah, I'm fucking done now.
Yeah, you fucking want me now.
I'm not gonna hang my neck;
I'm gonna hold my head high.
I'm gonna get high.
I'm gonna watch you watch me;
Make me lie.
I'd lie with you another night if you would
Make yourself touchable.
I can feel your skin now.
I can feel my fingers running through your hair, as I
Kiss you softly.
But you always wanted more from me in ways that
I wanted less.
I wanted your soul to be with mine.
Now its the other way around,
And I dont regret it.
Dont make me regret it.

Silent and Cliche: All the Things We Did and Didn't Say

Psychologically, The Gun You Use Will Define You.
Relief.
Its a word I haven't even thought of recently:
Carelessness.
Its a feeling I forgot existed:
Freedom.
I'm getting back to my life.
I'm taking control.
Now.
The time is now.

Let Us Burn, Back To Life.
We're sent to a brick building,
Contained
To become who we are
Meant to be...forever.
We listen to robots with a pulse just to become
Robots with a pulse and a desire.
We're supposed to know what this
Desire is?
How can we know if we spend 8 hours
Locked up, with a desire to be
Free.
Fucking freedom defines us.
We get 5-minute passing periods and a
Lunch break for "freedom".
Do you not see this contradiction?
We go to school to learn about the
"Outside world", as if we aren't ready for it.
We were put here to live.
We were put here to live.
After 12 years being cooped up,
Hidden from the world by bricks, parents, and textbooks,
Do you really think we'll know what to do when we're
Without them?
Birds have wings to fly, but we have...
Teachers?
Birds taught themselves to fly.
Our brains are far more capable of
Learning to fly on our own, yet a creature as small as
Our hands is given that responsibility.
Hey, assholes, if this is learning for our own good,
Why do we suffer?
Why do we have to take medication to succeed?
Why do we have levels and grades, just to bring us down?
Why do we have detention...are you looking for an in-mate?
Fuck society if I can't be in a real one.
I'm not saying I am not grateful.
I appreciate what I have learned.
But freedom of speech is simply not enough.
How about freedom of our
Minds to let them take our
Bodies to where our
Souls want to be?

I'm Burning Every Bridge That I've Crossed, To Find Some Beautiful Place to Get Lost
First Day
Of change.
But, I wonder,
How can a tiny, orange and white capsule
Change my life,
My brain,
My functioning?
Its 7:05.
I get on the bus.
I feel the urge to study everyone around me.
The Asian girl sleeping, the kid I smoke with but never got to talk to, the preppy girl with a big poof of hair on her head, the elderly woman who wishes she took a different route.
I get off the bus.
I go to the cafeteria to get in some social time before school.
I have 10 minutes...
I can't stop talking.
"I feel so high right now."
"Did you just wake and bake?"
"Nah, Vyvanse."
"Shit, man, I take the same stuff!"
All day, I keep telling everyone how great it feels.
I can't shut up.
English-History comes around, I've raised my hand 5 times in one period.
The norm for me in E.H. is 5 times a week.
Its lunch time...
My boyfriend hasn't said much to me but, today,
I don't care.
I don't care, I don't care, I don't want to care.
Its 5 days later.
I have no will power.
My brain can no longer formulate my once-creative lines.
My daydreaming has not stopped; I feel the
Need to daydream more often.
I want to step outside of the class,
Step outside of the school,
and step into someone else's world.
I want to feel,
I want to be madly in love with
Everything I do,
Everything I touch.
Its as if I've vomited all over my aunt's rug, and I'm
Crying because I want to fix it.
But my life is not a finely-woven oversized cloth to
Cover ugly pieces of a house you didn't design; its not something to
Step on.

Be Forever With My Poison Arms Around You.
Says I've seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows, there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble, that's the history of the trade
And you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
'Cos I'm all over it
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your secret wishes could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles
-Angeles by Elliott Smith.-
JUST A NOTE:
I'm tragically in love with Elliott Smith.
You'll be seeing lots of his lyrics on this page.
Whenever I post his lyrics, it usually means the lyrics somehow portray what I'm going through or I'm just madly fascinated by the phrases.
In this case, I'm going through a bit of this.
Stretched && Piled Faux Distressed Letters.
where I fell off the pier
and to be rescued I did wait
I watched waterbugs skate
as they draw figure eights as they draw
from the bottom of the lake as they draw
I watched waterbugs skate as they draw
bottom of the lake I watched the waterbugs skate
memories like mohair sweaters
stretched and piled faux distressed letters
moose's horns and figure eights
white plastic bags in search of mates
what suffocates the land
in the memory of garbage can
memory of garbage can
you can't be found when the bell rings
you weren't there that day for the naming of things
-The Naming of Things by Andrew Bird.-
Thank God Its Fatal.
I wouldn't care to the extent that I do.
But its tucked away.
I don't show how much I care...
It makes me involuntarily
Vulnerable.
My eyes don't see it,
His eyes don't see it,
My brain doesn't see it,
His brain sees it.
My heart sees it,
His heart doesn't.
The months we once wore each others' smiles
Upon our lips
Have faded.
I finally opened my heart to you,
But I'm cutting it off again.
Distance.
Do you feel the distance?

Something is Not Right With Me; I'm Trying Not to Let It Show.
Right now, its real; its physical.
Everyday, its real; its mental.
My wrists sting from Friday night's mental breakdown.
My body aches, recovering from the soft red pills shoved down my pulsing throat.
I'm itching.
Anger has no synonym when its swelling up inside of me.
Everyday is a day to endure.
I feel more when I want to feel less.
I care more when I want to be apathetic.
There is no quick-fix in this fast-paced life,
But let me know when you find one.
