They say to take a step of bravery,
Try everything once;
But I do not want to love again;
Perhaps it was their
Simple modesty; Me knowing,
And them telling-
The truths that broke and
Cracked what little stone,
That held my parts together;
Maybe, like an addict-
I should have stopped long ago.
For lovers are only lovers,
That truly
Do not love at all.
Little sparrow
come down from your nest.
Perch up on crooked fingers
and tongues.
Show us hope,
sing us songs from long ago.
Your tune of sea storm winds,
that lift the sands into our mouths-
Clog our ears,
purify the eyes of idle blindness
made from the devils land.
Little sparrow,
you know not of our evils.
Spare us,
before we crush
fragile wings.
Daddy polluted me with nasty words,
while mamma use to rolled a joint between shaky fingers-
I remember that
The middle tip was always yellow-
Ripe and bright like lemon flavoring.
she used to hush me with crooked teeth-
While daddy
went off and fount himself a real women-
Mamma used to tell me stories,
while our house sank in on itself-
She left
and I left.
I never knew that hope could sink ships
until i saw daddy's face again.
It would contort,
delusive of it's features.
Warp
red
bright
pop and sizzle.
Spit out words that twist my stomach.
I was never called a cunt,
until daddy taught me the word.
over
and
over
and over.
The other women
told me about who I was.
I've never liked mirrors,
when she taught me how
to hate.
I'm so thankful,
disinterested about where i'll be-
Mamma
taught me how to be worthless.
Daddy taught me
how to cry.
But
I'm the one
that taught myself
how to write.
Murder me with words
and rip me open to read my pages-
For what it's worth
I've counted your letters
and ate them whole so i'd speak them later.
I'm this no good son of a bitch.
I'm this waste,
particles on drywall kids.
Dirt mixed with air.
Chew me until I'm flexible against your tongue
knead your fingers into my open
crevices.
Put me in a box
and wrap me up like a little doll.
"Pretty"
such over-used meanings
and letters.
Filled with yawns and dull bulbs-
Unscrew your tired hit me ups
and think with some poetry-
Cover your lips with spice
roll your tongue when you speak.
Form sentences that lull her into quite euphoria.
Carry your voice,
resonating through hollow limbs.
Fill her to the top until she falls,
then catch her-
Sweet nothings that are original
always gets the lady in red.
When remorse sicks his head in the lions din-
The second try
ends with them inviting him for dinner.
Morals
are
as
true
as
they appear
to
be.
I don't get kissed by wondering eyes very often-
Men tend to look to my frown.
If they wanted lips
they should have asked for someone else's-
Because these speak in slang riddles
about opinionated acupuncture.
Pressure released as i let them go from gazes,
intimidation leaks from my hips and mouth.
I'm not a women to be messed with
when you twiddle around with all this
Tom Foolery.
Smack me with washed up wit that you
spit out from a book you've barely read
before.
Mock me
then insult my plain appearance-
My eyes don't light up for dogs.
They light up for papers and pens,
between the sheets,
sketched out over my face.
My only sin was being dull on the outside-
I'll take it slow as I plug you in-
Let you leak into my ear and trap
your voice in the other.
I'm falling forward,
lashed out with intake of air-
Let it go smooth
until I am no longer breathing.
Breaking notes along my skin,
scoop up my legs and feed
on my lips-
Parted
chanting.
Keys over
and under painted on eyelids.
Sacrifice me with speakers
over my ears-
Sing to me of ignorance
and of heroes
from long ago.
Because all sorrow is forgotten
with equal words sang so
softly
and so sweet.
I ask myself why I'm so washed up
but my empty rags won't respond to my accusations.
They plead with the hungry norm-
leave me out to confide in my marrow,
pick it clean with a folded twenty.
Grind away at the bone with their teeth,
because we all know pity is for the weak.
My minds at a junction between second and third-
To roads I won't travel alone.
Because I am as fake as Nirvana-
I'm washed up and whited out.
cuz i never taught myself how to write what I'm really feeling.
I remember the smile that lay way to dimples.
Brightened her eyes with light show spark.
I knew she wanted me to taste her skin.
It reminded me of coconut rum
Warmed my throat all the way to my belly.
That was the first time I indulged in under aged drinking.
But her noise told me that she didn't mind my partaking.
So I drank some more until she was empty.
There is meat atop my bones-
Cartilage that's left over
and unable to bend by your fingers.
Snap twice,
and I'll twitch my hips.
Because I'm waiting for you to
yell and tell me that you love me-
You will not,
even though my words are voices.
My body was never good enough
for God.
Behold my grace,
as i let my bird fly hand
with smiles.
I never was your Mary.
