I have loved myself too fearlessly to ever let me go, And just in case you thought you'd change that, I just thought that you should know That I'm a hurricane, a maelstrom, the ocean at high tide, A forest fire, a flash flood, the sun bright in your eyes. I will bend you, I will break you, I will drop you in the dust. I will blind you, I will choke you, I will leave you there to rust. You cannot tame me. I am the fire in the field, blazing and brilliant in your sight; I am the waves against your shores, eroding you all through the night. (I will bend you, I will break you) I am the moon, vivid and full, claiming the horizon as my own, I am the first star out at dusk, always bright but all alone. You cannot tame me. My spirit burns too hot for you to hold; I will sear your skin and blacken your bones. I will destroy you and all you know. (I will blind you, I will choke you) I will heat your heart and boil your blood until you fall down to your knees, Begging me to "please, Please

The Duet we Never Sang
I am the blood in your mouth when you bite your tongue
Trying to stop my name from sneaking past your teeth.
(I sense you like salt and iron in the back of my throat,
Ocean and pennies like a brick in my mouth.
I can’t swallow past the taste of you.)
I am the exact sparkle of 3 am stars
Shedding silver light like lost fireflies on the beach.
(I have always seen you in the neon glow of constellations and arcade games,
Skee ball scores spiking high like my pulse,
Shadows stealing along your jaw as you bend and aim and throw)
I am the fingers that steal into yours,
Herculean grip with my palm pressed to your skin.
Slight sweat an

Four Letters, One Word, No Hope.
I am a four-letter poem
dressed up in words
That mean nothing;
Tangled in dark branches and the forests in my mind,
where daylight looks like midnight and I can never leave.
I am the shadows gathered under trees
and the hollows beneath your eyes
When I have kept you up at night
The inside of my mind is no place to hide,
Where there is neither up, nor down
No left turn
And nothing is right
Roads that twist and turn and double back,
And there is no way but forward
I am the path that disappears into the horizon
But never reaches for the sky.
I am grasping for a truth that dances from my fingertips,
Elusive and laughing at my empty, open f

Something Special
There is something special in the seconds and the minutes
and there is something special in the darkness and the crickets
Of a Florida night at 12 am and a full moon overhead
That sprays silver on back roads like water on fire.
There is something special in sharing music in the middle of the night
Or the Havoc of the morning,
There is something in each individual chord that will settle into your heart
And strike a note when you hear it.
There is something special in the certain cadence of a voice
That rises and falls with each new character,
With the way that Hank the Cowdog fills the corners of a garage
And falls into the spaces between pi
You are a mix of all the things I could never be,
And all the pretty pictures that you helped me see.
You are the sun in the moments of pre-dawn shyness:
(Blushing, vulnerable, purple-black-blue like the bruises on your confidence)
And you are sunrise, the edges of your fire leaping out to light a world in darkness
(Brilliant and gold and breath-taking; you line simplicity with beauty and you forge the earth in shades of flame that make the dew sparkle in my eyes)
And you are the heat of midsummer
(Burn your kiss into my open mouth, catch me up and sear my skin and ignite an inferno in my stomach that never dies).
You are dimming
I'm just a gun,
All dolled up without anyone to convince me
It's better not to shoot.
I've got a crooked smile and a matching set of morals
That look better when framed by a pair of obviously red lips
and matching six-inch stilettos.
The salt of my bones catches fire, and I'm burning to death.
Don't bother to ask how you can help, when you
lit the match and made light of all of my injuries.
(I'm gonna raise hell until it's all systems go,
and when I believe in all of my blood,
I'll let you know.)
When the light escapes from here and catches the reflections in your eyes,
Will you realize that we're all just stars burning in someone else's

Maybe I Don't Know You Anymore
Maybe I don't know you anymore,
And maybe I never really did to begin with.
But I knew from the second I saw you,
I was gonna love you,
That you were gonna kill me.
Maybe I don't know you anymore;
You spend your days with someone else in a house that isn't mine.
You spend your days talking with the other pretty girls, and they give you the time
of day,
And the time of your life.
They give you those little things that I couldn't,
Like a worthwhile distraction and pleasures of the flesh.
Really, the only pleasure I wanted
Was your skin on mine, and your breath in my lungs.
But I guess I'm just a simple girl, and this world has always been too

night curls cold
around my shoulders
and i practice fractal gaze
of ice on pane
pieces of the moon
are on the window sill
still trying to breathe
these shattered things
.
i beg the cup
up to my lips again
another vice
for another lie
and it is both
the frost
and flame
.
sing love
i am drifting
breathing feathers on the glass
my fingers full of moon
wishing i could bloom for you
instead of choking
on the dark
instead of searching
through the blackness
for some promised light
instead of wishing
for the land
beyond the stars
Depression isn’t true, my dear
Depression isn’t real.
It’s just a silly tragedy
You’ve forced yourself to feel.
Anxiety is fake, my friend
You wonder why it’s there.
But others have it worse than you!
Stop forming false despair.
Cutting is dramatic, love,
It’s ugly, and it’s dumb.
Why not just get over it?
Is the attention fun?
Suicide is stupid, dear,
And selfish, if I may.
Get over yourself, darling,
Can you hear these things I say?
Why aren’t you replying, love?
Oh, where could you have gone?
I never meant to hurt you, love,
Did I say something wrong?
Why aren’t you replying, dear
“What’s on your arm? What’s on your thigh?”
I scratched myself, darling—but I will be fine.
“What’s on your wrist? And why do you cry?”
Oh, silly—they’re signals, they’re my warning signs.
“Why are there tears coming out from your eyes?”
They show that I’m breaking. My laugh’s a disguise.
“What’s on your forearm? What’s on your mind?”
I’ll be okay, darling.
I just wish to die.
Daddy, don't lie to me, I wanna know
Where is she hiding, and why did she go?
Daddy, don't lie to me, please, pretty please
It's like I can hear her voice within the breeze.
Daddy, don't lie to me, where did she run?
Daddy, I know all the things you have done.
Daddy, don't lie to me, I've seen her scars
Hidden from me like the faraway stars.
Daddy, don't tell me, I don't wanna hear
I'm hoping these thoughts are just worries, just fears.
Daddy, don't tell me, I can't stand the facts
I just wanna think this is some silly act.
Daddy, I love you, you know this is true
But honestly, why do you do what you do?
Daddy, I saw you when you pushed h

a black hole (i.e. mirrored images)
face yourself in the mirror
red cheeked and smiling, have
you ever wondered why blush is just blood congealing
beneath the skin cells or rouge made of lead
my antithesis, my partner in crime
my faithful cut and dry, bone dry,
fish bones stuck in throat
you are my vocal chords twisted like ribosomes stuck in an internment of itself AN ANTITHESIS
or are you just the "i'm sorry" trying to crawl out my mouth
i'm just playing my part
Antigone
you say i'm just like your mother and you're right but fuck
i'm your lover
a replacement box lined with fuzzy peach navels and
naval ships crashing on shores
i'm tired of being your mom
i'm tired of cleaning
god knows that if i only had
one breath left
in my body
i would use it to bless you
the same way that gods bless worlds
and mothers bless sons
the same way that moons bless stars
and skies love suns
and clouds love rain
and day loves night
the same way that villains love evil
and judges love right
the way that freckles love skin
and laughter loves wind
that snatches the notes on an evergreen breeze
the way that eyes love sights
and tongues mouth words
or the way night day
can't be without the other
If I had one breath left in my body
I would hold it
until my face turned blue
so I could spend the rest of my breath

11. I'll tell you to put this in your journal without using the word 'tag':
just 'cause.
so, so tired of rping the same thing.
Can't write anymore, can only read and remember the feeling of being able to make my own stories. No will to reply to any posts because the posts are boring and the plots are boring.
Looking for a really good humanoid-based rp. Shapeshifter, magic-users, don't care. I just need something with a plot to inspire me. I can't inspire myself anymore.
