Purgatory

Hell was the magnet,
we ran to Hades,
chased by angels,
seeking demons in a devil-run world.
Heaven was not the paradise they promised.

I Am: Overflowing

It’s like
I am a reservoir
And a flood just hit
Except that
No one here drinks water

Fragility

Sex is just the touching of our souls,
The kissing of our breaths,
And the holding of our hearts’ crevices,
Of course it means nothing.

Universe

They said that
it takes 93 years
to traverse to Pluto
And there are
trillions of galaxies
stretching the space in my mind
So how can you say
you know me?

Dopamine

Chemistry is just a function of the brain,
So let me explain it neurologically,
Your lips cause the currents of my mind to rush,
A glance from you,
And my nerves spark electric,
My synapses threaten to fry, and your touch has me magnetized.

Heavenly

Angels get high off wings,
Get drunk off holy water,
Smoke off the rims of their halos,
And get down on their knees,
So when the kingdom comes crashing,
Don’t say you didn’t see the signs.

Milky Way

They say that
At the center of our galaxy,
There might be a black hole
—  Of course, from you,
I’ve learned to expect that  —
What your life revolves around
Eventually kills you.

Addict

I am full of strawberries,
But I am seeing the orange sunrise —
Maybe you are purged from my system,
Can’t tastes change?
I never wanted a fruit basket,
Just love,
Love,
Love.

Decide

I’m killing off choices like genocide,
I’m a murder in my homicide,
I threaten kings with my regicide,
The monster of pesticide,
Drinking buckets of cyanide,
The rivers will find me,
As I fall apart in the clutches of suicide.

Pierce

I disguise my heart as a dagger and shred myself to pieces,
I scream softly, but I keep the most important words silent,
I wrapped all my feelings in layers of diamonds,
Knowing that nothing can cut through,
But I forgot precious jewels get stolen,
I cough up my desires, but I melted all my fire,
I swim away in a basket of salt, 
Hoping dehydration will keep me quiet.
