falling away.---
i.
tonight you are building a man out
of blankets and pressing your face where
his neck would be. you close
your eyes and pretend your pulse
is his and bite your lip and try
so hard not to cry.
ii.
tonight you are looking for a man
who sees the shadows in the way
you hold your wrists. he could.
he could, so you know it's possible.
iii.
tonight you are not beautiful but you
are so broken.
iv.
tonight you slam your fists against the
wall and wonder what it is about you
that is so easy to walk away from.
what it is about you that is
so easy to leave behind.
v.
tonight the man with a pillow face
is softer than the body you used to climb
but it's all you have.
you'll take it. it's better than being alone.
vi.
tonight you press yourself
closer to a memory until you can
feel it digging into your skin.
it hurts, you think,
but it's something real.
--- heartbeats like thunder.If you understand loneliness
you remember the night you could have crawled
into his chest, made a bed for yourself like an animal
beside his heart. You remember the heat of the word inside,
and the sudden unfairness that he could be inside of you
when you were the one who needed to be that close,
when you were the one who needed that relief.
If you understand hunger
you remember the way you touched his body carefully, this home
you built for yourself with unsteady hands, counted
the spaces between his ribs, pressed your cheek
against them, listened for his breathing like a storm
outside your window. You remember the fierce violence
of your want, the impossibility.
If you understand need
you remember the night you thought you'd die
of it. there is a wilderness in my body& a compass in my elbow
tugging my body achingly
north. if love
could carry a woman I would find you
where the magnetic fields bend
and break against the atmosphere,
cradle the northern lights
in my lungs, stretch your skin
tight across the tundra,
exhale.

I love you like her teeth loved the curb.and her knees loved his collarbones. ARTIFICIALLIGHT
Incandescent Tungsten steel filament
In a small Quartz envelope.
Halogen gasses redistribute steel-
Just like rainfall to the earth.
Artificial light-
Is it an artificial world?
And would i have a better chance in there?
...
Four thousand, five hundred degrees;
Twenty-five hundred, Celsius.
Burning like a star-
then, one day, it burns out-
And won't that be a sight to see?
Burning like you used to burn for me.

Know it allI know you, you got your knuckles bruised
fight like the way I do, Look like the way you do
You're having a ball, you're just a know-it all
How can you stand so tall, with your kneecaps bruised
Camping out on islands, I thought I was a queen
At least I was your dutchess, at least I was something
You make up rules to break them, all shattered on the floor
You're screaming at the rafters: Come on! Give me more!
I'm not sure how to take you, latte, frap, or black
But after last night's incident, I'm never coming back
And no one I know really gets it, no one really learns
From every single conundrum, I'm left covered in burns
I'm like a ghost,
Walking through your mind,
I'm like a ghost,
What is.... time?
Correctly linking me to cancer, I never would have guessed
It's funny that your divorce makes me feel a lump in my chest
If I jumped, would my bones all break, or bring me to my bed?
The voice that tells me not to try is off giving some head
Camping out on islands, I thought I was a queen A Fool's HeartConfident but cautious, you know this somehow
You see right through me but never can tell
Just when I need you, I pick at myself
And I try-- Try not to fight
All my past mistakes are coming to haunt me
It's really quite easy to destroy myself
You lick at my wounds and you tell me you love me
But the thoughts-- they won't stop.
Please... Try to fix it
I'm drowning in my own words
I need... need some shelter
Some make-up on your new shirt.
Forever fleeing, you say I'm a coward
But honey, it's okay, it's not like your words hurt
And maybe I'm shitty, but at least I still try
And I will try until I die
And maybe that's real soon, but I feel I must confess
That I never wanted life, but much less wanted death
So no fear I'll leave you, just please stick around
I can't cry if you're in town
Please... try to fix it
I'm trying to engage my words
Chorus of a target
I will sing until it hurts
I will sing... until it hurts
Then I will cue you to take up my words
You were never just a singer
You're Don't StopCadd9, D, G, Am7
I feel you getting closer
Your name upon my tongue
The words are almost here now
But they're never really done
The love I felt back then
Well it never did end
Slice my tears with lullabies
Then sing until it makes me cry
Goodnight
My love
Sleep tight
I wish I knew you before my heart could break
I wish I knew how long that would take me
to find a heart to kiss it, make it better
Weather the weather or not
I won't stop
I'll walk home in the rain
Whether I'm better, whether I'm clever or not
I can't stop
I'd love to dance with you
Down here, in my puddle
If love wasn't subtle
I'd yell it to the world
That I'm the only girl
For you
I hope I find you before I try to run away
I promise to try
I hope it's lovely before you push me away
But I'm so fucking tired
Oh Pull me close, kiss it, make it better
Weather the weather or not
Please don't stop
I'm doing all I can
Whether I'm better, whether it's better or not
Please don't stop
I'd love to sing with you
So I.... I.... would
