raze i hate the cold dead feeling
i love the cold dead feeling
tight, hard fucking on the ceiling
sweat drips from the face of a lover
she laughs
because she knows every stupid thought
that races through my brain
like a herd of tiny shit bugs
from a distance they look like a cloud of dust
up close they look just like her
distant
smiling
cold
dead

that dream
a young girl with a metal plate in her mouth
she had difficulty speaking
she grew into a beautiful woman
there was another girl
she & her man were blind
they hadn't begun that way
but their love was enough to guide them
it granted them a new kind of sight
much more powerful than anything the eyes could see

he talks
& the words spray as spittle
tiny beads of love
from his twisted heart
i can't understand most of what he says
but i can tell that he feels alone
i should kiss him
if i felt it, maybe
i don't feel those things
those monochromatic urges

i wish i could tear my eyes out
so i would never have to look at another girl
with her arm around an asshole
thinking if i could just kill every piece of "nice"
every fucking thing
maybe i could be that asshole
maybe that could be my arm

but then i come back to that place
mostly out of curiosity
& all of those feelings come flooding back
like some pathetic typhoon
that can't even get it up
so it ends up more of a short breath
than anything even remotely devastating

a thin blanket of stars
wrapped around her face
a makeshift tourniquet

when the romance of wasted potential dissipates
all that is left is an odd desire
to vomit every piece of yourself
into everything that you do
even if no one else will ever realize
just how much you gave
& how much it hurt
that no one heard a single word

so she forced him to choose
"you are either a limp cock or a blood clot"
she said
"which do you prefer?"

he thought for a long time before speaking
"i am a wet shred of paper"
he said
"weak, small & always growing smaller
until there is nothing left of me
but a damp, contorted clump of nothing"

it was the fire that made you
the curious thing you are
the flames shaped you
into a beautiful scar

drunken jane maybe you can be the one that saves me.

you offered up solace in a telephone call, i wonder if it all
will make sense again.

i imagine us there,
i'm braiding your hair,
and betraying every ounce of my soul
being with you
instead of Her.

she was hever there.
or maybe it's just
we needed each other so damn bad
we were willing to five up on
former ideas of ourselves.

maybe you'll cut your hair.
maybe i'll cut mine.
one of us will grow a mustache
and i'll finally have the balls
to tell you how miserable i am

instead of pretending that everything's
alright
