Fun hangs with peanutbutterlung at Rope Mill yesterday.
Sometimes it's hard to tell who keeps secrets Because lately my spirit weakens While we all wait in darkening dumps Behind a facade of witty and trippy smiles But when was the last time you actually smiled? Like when we had to stop by that corner coffee shop even just long enough to say hello Back then we had each other, and what we have now I don't know The past lingers long enough to whisper sweet thoughts of Summer Come to pass with Winter's cold and heavy hand Beaches breeze and Georgia heat will come again in a year But we can never go back to the way we had. But we can never go back.
for shits and giggles, i guess.
please don’t let me give up please don’t let me give in i know i say things and i think things and my mind has more personalities than a reality show and sometimes i don’t know what i mean and sometimes i don’t know what i want
but something is creeping up on my shoulder with long, boney black nails and the shadow hand grabs the next it’s pulling me slightly just enough to make me bleed
but i won’t dip my wrist but i don’t know how it will go it takes a hold of my tongue it changed the scenery in the room with weights in my hands i turn automatic mixing and fixing all the little things nine to five or two whatever the time is i can’t keep up with the seconds as i chase them my knees shake and break i don’t know how much more of this i can take
i don’t know how much more of this i’m willing to take till i shake out of this feeling and slip into something soft and silky and red hot because it’s easier when my insides are set on fire to walk in a world of smoke and mirrors
and shadows and skeletons hiding in the deep that think collarbones are just an accessory and necessity and when i get close to you you’ll grab me by the hand with my other full of heavy drink and pull me under
but it takes all of me to just stay out of the water because my face turned to red from drinking all that deadwater wish i was stronger but i fear all i’ll ever be is the ugly stepdaughter
and when the last shoe doesn’t fit where will i be when it all comes crashing down around me where will i be
i don’t know what to do
i can feel my bones cracking
my lifeless body clinging on to every little inch
of happiness, of breath,
of even the smallest movements i have
that remind me of you
because how could i ever forget
no matter what decision i try to make
no matter how much i try to fake
it just through the day
and i can taste what i ate this morning
and i can feel the tug on my back
and i can feel your pull on me from every side
i can feel you in my chest like i want to spit you up
and hold you so close at the same time
and i can’t sleep anymore
and sometimes i can’t even breathe
because you keep me there
in another world like i’m not really here
like i never have to sleep or breathe and
i can just be with you
growing like a rose
god, how could you let it be this close?
if you were really there why?
why would you give me this decision to make
to turn me into a murderer
make me into some torturer
of my own body and my own self care
just know you’ll always be a special one
you’ll always be my number one
my first, my always in debt
my knot around my finger so i never forget
but i can feel my body beneath me crumbling
i can feel my words fumbling
making the wrong things come out
making me scream and shout
when i don’t want to anymore
i don’t want to fight anymore
