Lovelove

Someone asked me what is love
is it good, is it bad
is it awesome, is it terrible
I honestly didnt know how to answer them.
I finally desided love is the most complicated of all emotions
Love is kind
love is harsh
love is wonderful
love is terrible
love is a cure
love is a sickness
love is LOVE
love is hate
love is meaningful
love is pointless
love shows the best in people
love shows the worse in people
love makes us speak truth
love makes us lie
love understands everything
love confuses everyone
love builds your life
love tears your heart down
love makes you smile
love makes you cry
love makes us cuddle
love m

SuicideSuicide... they call it sin
They say it is a death in which no-one wins...

They encourage you not to do it, they say it is wrong...
But who is there to encourage you when you can't be strong.

You feel like you have no-one, not even a friend.
No shoulder to cry on, just one last letter to send.

fairytale hopes, and explosive love
in the world, but i know that i
will never be the one
to give them to you.

you need notes that end with
'ps - you're brighter than
twenty-seven silver stars'.
i can't bring myself
to write them, though.

it's not like you'd read them,
anyway.

i cut out paper hearts and
dreams and gave them to you, but
you only ripped them up and said
'these aren't good enough.'

when i painted you a picture
of golden skies and sunshine smiles,
you handed it back and told me
'next time, paint realistically.'

so i wrote you a story

the speed addictthe speed addict knows if he stops moving,
he will die. so when inertia takes hold
his heart falters and his head slams against
a future, lit by the dashboard. he hears
his veins stuttering like gears grinding out
a staccato refrain, while the wheel spins and
goes numb. as his breath twists away from his grip,
rasps a hollow plea, he slides on a rail
towards impartial angels leaving rainbow sparks
in his soaring wake, and meets blazing lights.
the addict dies twice. one is nev

oh, dearest,
why are you locked inside

is a break up song, and the only thing

DementiaThe old man sits with stooped back.
The room is cold, just like his hands.
Thoughts have wandered like small children.
He wonders if he will see home again.

Thoughts have wandered home again,
with stooped backs and cold hands.
The room sits with the old man.
Like small children, he wonders if he will see cold.

Back stooped with thoughts, he wanders.
Like a child the small room sits, wondering.
Home again is cold.
The old man will see with his hands.

falling from hidden spaces in the sky and swollen clouds
i hear it make mud of dirt, and lovers of friends
and ask, quiet, where are you going but down?

i’m not all there in the head
you’re not all there in the head, my mother says
i’m not all there in the head i repeat
sometimes i’m there in my toes and fingers and heart as well

and now - in this downpour moment- i lie on the street
so warm that i think well that’s where love’s gotten to
but where is your shirt n? oh someplace else
and is that a light flickering in the house across the road? hide!

This PainTears roll down my face,
As I cut myself,
To release the pain.
It hurts so much,
But feels so good.
The pain is draining from me,
In drops of blood.
As I watch my pain leave from me,
I think,
"How can this be,
That I have so much pain
When I'm only merely 16?".
Then I remember the past that I've had,
Memories of yelling,
slamming doors,
all the awful scars.
I've cried too much,
I've hated so many,
That I don't think people will ever get me.
I come back from my world of thoughts
And realize that I've bled too much,
It's all over the counter,
It's becoming messy,
But I don't care.
I just want this pain out of me.
I'm

Sunday in the Kitchendear mother,

i ask you how far we are from heaven.
hunched over the sunday paper like a patient gargoyle.
your eyes blinking too often, and tongue snaking
around in your mouth, as if the answer is hidden between your teeth.

dear mother,

you hum holy bars in the kitchenette.
say "hallelujah means praise yahweh, praise the lord"
say "angels must rest on the tongue of that word"
say "angels, oh angels hallelujah, hallelujah, rest in me"

but you haven't slept in weeks.
i hear you sob sigh into the night like a prayer.
like your table lamp is the closest thing to heaven-gates.

dear mother,

sometimes i still wish i could pray with you

Let's Hate
Age 11

We met in a room full of crowded people
who knew my name
they knew my face
and they knew things I didn't
Most people there knew his parents
and that was about it; the knowledge ended there

He said, Come with me
and I said no
I made friends with social rejects
and I made enemies with people hard to avoid
We kept in touch
But only

Depressing PoemsSorry --

What if she died?
And at the funeral her parents told you,
"You could have saved her from herself."
How would that make you feel?
And that night you went home
Sat in your room alone
And killed yourself
Just to be with her again and tell her
"I'm sorry."

Friends --

Why do people try to help me?
Do they care?
I guess they do
But all I do is hurt them
Especially Sarah
She keeps trying to help me
But all I do is push her away
She's my best friend
Why can't I just let her help?

Emptiness --

What if I died right now?
How would you fell?
Sad, depressed, torn apart?
Or would you feel nothing,
But an empty place that

when i look in the mirror.one.
things you touch turn silent.

hearts can be blacked, burnt, ashy - but you take the ashes and burn, burn, burn them until there's only a memory left, a memory that's all edges and icicles.

you leave me cold, empty and
i don't want to breathe anymore.

'darling, you would do well to remember-

you can't have a light at the end of the tunnel
if you have no tunnel.

darling, you would do well to remember -

you are not empty. you are not empty.

and you don't want to live,
but you're not empty.]

they love you. they love you,

ocean burning.one.

before she met you, she would reach for the sun while standing on the branches of trees, arms stretched towards the sunlight, reaching and waiting.

now, happiness is like a summer memory in the dead of winter - still there, but fading too fast to hold onto. now, she sits on rooftops with you at night, and the two of you watch as the city lights go out one by one.

two.

sometimes, when you laughed, she was reminded of the wind rushing through trees in winter - melodic and beautiful, but still cold, unforgiving.

the two of you watched the waves of the ocean take away the beach, piece by piece.

you were the waves.

she was the sand.

Feeling Adventurous?Oh God...

He's about to pass me,
about to brush me,
about to touch me,
I'm about to die.

He's about to move,
about to look,
about to smile,
I'm about to die.

He's a God.
He's perfect.
He's toxic,
to me,
he's high,
he's light,
he's lust,
he's want,
he's a fever,
he's an ache,
he's a healing,
he's a break,
all I want,
are those lips,
on mine,
all the time,
come to me,
and let me be,
just a little...

But only if you're feeling it,
the way I feel it too,
all I want is you,
come to me,
let me be,
just a litle crazy.

Put my hands in your hair,
put your hands on my waist,
hold me close,
pull me near,
then I'll k

and you said:
you are beautiful.

and i am afraid
that i might one day

and

sometimes i feel like
i'm just this big bundle
of problems and i have
been searching and
i can't find the answers.

you told me that the answers
are in blowing bubbles and

dreams, but honestly i just

don't

understand. i have tried
to chase my dreams but

they only run away.

RecluseTogether we form a muted scream,
with my undated letters I'll write into
late at night
spilling everything and my undeterred longing

with your raging absence imprinted heavily
on every thought wishing to dangle
from my mind.

---

I keep turning to find your resting face
and I face a wall and the light is still on - I don't remember waking
and I don't remember falling deeply, sleep.
Sometimes my dreams feel like twisted days all turning to one.
Voices over voices, mumbles and screams; shouts.

I found your undated letters
and penned the dates
I don't want to forget your apologies,
regrets,
lies,
promises.

HomeSometimes, when I feel the tears rushing to well up in my eyes
the blood equally fast flowing through my veins, I feel the unprecedented high.
I miss it when you'd yell, or you'd glare
sometimes you'd ignore me.

I can turn and walk out my door and you won't be there
telling me to put it away and go lie down.
I can turn and walk away and live the rest of my day
without having to lie down and put myself away.

I can't turn and find your angry face and turn it into a smile
and promise it is only for a little while.
I can't turn and apologise that I'm quickly dying in every way
you asked me not to.
I wish you'd said, "look after your

I miss turning into you
tracing the moving shadows
across your face
against the backdrop surroundings
of late night emptying streets

I want to walk and run until I'm falling down
dizzy
hanging upside down and shouting until
I can't remember what I'm saying.

Remember we'd imagine
sitting in the pool
with our eyes wide open
I liked all the colours and seeing your hand
waved in front of my face

Remember when everything you did
everything I did
we'd run and hide
our hearts racing, you asked me once;
was I nervous?

I think I said no and drifted into a world
that does not know sleep.

on the opaque frame
reaching up past her deadbeat eyes

milky cheekbones razorblade jaw
papercut smiles, willow head hair
sunken shoulder, blades that protrude

The shiver of the trees places
a peached glow on your
crystalised face
you exhale an invisible pipe of
smoke, swirling around the air
around you.

Can almost see straight through
as you nibble, softly at your

watch it go
down, down

I can almost feel the growling

reach for your pale stomach

is what girls kill over.
Not her or you, but me.

She said so, she told me
in a little note she left
by the door.

Don't find me,
it read; her voice
loud in my head
and I could still feel
the whispers in my ear.

I need you.

_{The secrets we have shared
the ones you refuse to bear

I will watch you
when you are so quiet
and you turn your head and you get
so small

I will see you when you are so open
and vulnerable and all I want to do
is hold on tight

I will sit and try not to stare
while I see how much you change
and how quickly it comes.

I will have sat and crossed off the hours
at 5 minute intervals
avoided the time goes faster

My breathing will sharpen while I wait alone in the
deserted carpark.
But you came, quietly and then I realised
it was all going wrong for us.}
