Amore Mio

I witnessed a dispute
12:30 at night
Between a daughter and her parents
She was pissed
In a language
I couldn’t speak
These wounds are still here
they’re still infected
Necrosis has set in
No safety in trust
Survival trumps love
I cant seem to let you in
How do you explain
What few understand
What those who truly love you
Barely comprehend
What you yourself
Can’t fucking shake
I have seen a thousand
Empty hollow eyes
I am not worth the effort
Te amo
Words never spoken
Am I able to
Break this cycle through-
My child! Will know love
Te amo mi amor!

Seems like my past can only dwell on me
Each day a reminder (of wounds unhealed!)
The fist it stings (Don't Look at me!)
Like the disease left untreated (i swear I'm fine)
Light switches imprinting scars
Feels the same as the neglect
Those cold nights in Nanaimo
Where you never knew what would come next
Morphine dreams and heroin deaths
There's always an escape
You don’t need to excuse what happened
I already know!
I already know…
It always follows
Just under your skin
I only saw
What you let me see
It spills over
Wearing you down
I saw it all
The knife, (the fall), the scream, (help me)
I did what i could
So did you
Forgive yourself
Like i did for you

On Staying Put...

count down from five.
you wrote your name
on my adrenal glands.
rusted my insides.
this crawling feeling will not wash off.
maybe i’ll just forget.
you’re the only one thats left.
Your eyes only reflect the walls that keep us here.
Your eyes glow like headlights.
my body becomes the asphalt
my body becomes the asphalt
my body becomes the asphalt
my body becomes the asphalt
You drained my exposed veins.
Smothered me with your sorrows.
Do you remember the way you felt that day
The past is only a card that you play
i’m frozen in your gaze.
love is possession.
like trodden-on mud
my heart is left deformed.
condensation dances on winter roads.
I run away from my home in you.

Is this the extent
of possibilities?
I’ve found the threshold,
walls closing in on me.
Freeze, cover your head, and fall to the floor!
Dictate desire, I don't want to be free anymore
Sacrifice morality, what's the cost of playing it cool?
(Safety in meager measures, feigned indifference)
a wolf like me has no place among the flock
unthinking and untouchable,
(Impart patterns to the harsh air)
We deny ourselves humanity.
(fold under the pressure)
Hundreds of batons
(draw lines in the sand)
Beat out of time
A cacophony (gears without teeth)
spelling out the words:
“I had no choice.
(Steadfast and without hesitation.)
My mind is an engine
(Violent without conflict or friction)
that reproduces borders.”
DEVI LORD WROUGHT
God as habit
Clasping the sun; a fragile thing
Perish the thought
Bleeding daylight between the strings
Alabaster coats lay claim to crimson hands
Oceans unfurl as rivers of blood run through the sand
