Tag, you're it



Hiding from the pain,
I’m far away.
Under the blankets,
Under the bed,
Close my eyes and hope to god;
Maybe someday my pain will stop.
Peak-a-boo, it found you.
Covers’ lifted,
Beds’ checked.
If you live in me,
There’s no place I can hide.
You reside in me,
You are my demise. 
Maybe if I cut off a limb,
You’ll die too.
Or I’ll cut myself open
And you’ll ooze out.
Or maybe I’ll surrender,
Die,
So you can latch on to somebody else, finally.

To look for love is to lose yourself,
To lose yourself you have to know who you are.

Empty Hearts

Hearts empty,
Eyes full,
My dear lord
What are we here for?
Mind shut,
Earphones in,
My dear mom
When will the screaming stop?
Dark nights,
Lonely beds,
My dear lover
When will the pain stop?
Slashed wrists,
Cigarettes stubs,
My dear self
Why won’t you fix yourself?
