you bring your crown of vultures so proud of what you suffer perched upon your shoulders, now you welcome your tortures you bring you sheep to slaughter this pure ewe of a daughter doomed to this madness now confessing every thought of hers

Sin Eater
consume your sinit was always going to get incorrupt all it could touchyour hollowed out bodycouldn’t get enough What have you donebut make yourself a loaded gunpointed in every directionyou only hurt the ones you love Maybe I should run awayIt’s only hurt me to be the one who stayedYou seem to be okayI never […]
A Snake’s Tale
It’s funny how my seams are bleeding I thought I patched that hole too well to fail me again this is so embarrassing I wish this snake didn’t crave its own tail this cycle keeps repeating consumption makes me numb again the serpent goes on eating I wish I didn’t make the venom so when […]
Haiku #1
this land is so illi feel it coughing, retchingturning inside out
Never-ending
It is not enough to be here if I am not alone If I live in a shadow so help me I’d rather just go home some part of me is starving getting scraps when you are fed I am not owed anything I can’t be loved for what I bring There’s nothing here and […]

Boredom
I think I’m too caught up on all the things I’ll never do againI’m always sneaking back to the warmth that doesn’t careAnd I’m landing in the ashes cause I was chasing after the matchSneaking back to the warmth that leaves soot in my hair I can’t stay awayBut when I go back I stare […]
Do What You Will
I saw that space between us and I filled it with cementThe rain will wear it away and I’ll patch it up againI stacked bricks high around us to keep the dogs outRemember when I caught you throwing meat into their mouths I don’t know what you mumble, but I hear what you sayI don’t […]
