reminder

life isn’t going to go the way
you want it to all the time.
you can prepare, hope, and pray.
but your best bet is to keep
your fingers crossed and be open
to all possibilities life throws your way. release your need for control. 

the storm

I will bruise your lips,

and scar your knees

and love you too hard.

I will destroy you

in the most beautiful
way possible. 

darkness inside

i find myself fascinated with people
that have a darkness inside of them,
a darkness that is both terrifying
and beautiful....

i want to touch their souls.
and have it slide though
my fingers like mud.
scoop it into my palms like rain.

i want to feel what they have felt.
i want to know why darkness clings to them
like a shadow they cannot shake
and i want to know why i am drawn
to these shadows more often than
the soft glowing souls that
flicker around me like fireflies.

i'd like to know what someone feels
when they dive into my soul....

Covered

Love blinds you. It’s crazy because you don’t even realize it. You fall in love with someone and everything they do is beautiful. They’re absolutely perfect in your eyes. They could hurt you so many times and you’ll still find yourself making excuses for them. Love makes fools out of all of us.

beneath

Faking smiles is easy,
like slipping on jewelry. 
I know what you want 
to hear from me...

I free pretty lies
from behind my teeth.
Painting has always
come naturally.

My aura is brushed
in shades of purity,
a societal masterpiece. 
But if you could see
what lies underneath,
I promise you’d never approach me... 

variety

We all are a beautiful mixture
of angels and demons,
it just depends on which one
you choose to feed. 

Output

“Aren’t you afraid of my darkness, darling?” he asked with mischief in his eyes. 

“No,” she replied, “You haven’t even seen mine yet.”

spilled thoughts

The things I find
most beautiful
about a person
are almost never physical.

sequel

Tell me again
how your mouth
will feel like the
sweetest poetry
gliding over my skin.
