Month: August 2017

she collects horror films on VHS
she likes dead things on dead formats
dyes her hair pitch black
though she's blonde naturally
she never puts on lipstick
her lips are red enough
still has her blockbuster card
denounces the internet
on the weekends
she's at the flea market
picking up animal skulls
she's always wearing black
even in her dreams
her ex boyfriend always
looked like he owned a yacht
i think she was trying to be ironic
she hates bands and live music
only listens to the soundtracks
to her favourite slasher films
i've never seen her wear socks
always open toed shoes when she's out
the texas heat might be a contributing factor
she has no intention of going to the alamo
dresses her dog up like sally field
from not without my daughter
though she likes her more in forrest gump
drinks pepsi exclusively in the summer
then goes to 7-up when she's feeling down
one day i'll meet her
when she's walking downtown
i'll come up and say hey
what are you doing around
but i'm sure she'll take one look at me
laugh turn around and say
you're far too easy
then she'll go home
play super mario brothers three
turn off the sound
listen to the soundtrack
to halloween two

time’s up sweet heart
don’t give me that look
you’ve known from the start
that’s the chance that you took
wasting your tears
getting hopes up
you knew my fears
now it will blowup
i couldn’t commit
with my heart in pieces
i hate to admit
my value decreases
whenever i try to find
something to fill the void
i have trouble trying to unwind
cause my hearts still destroyed
so move on to better things
keep your eyes on the future
someone out there with a shiny ring
a fine proper suitor
who would be exactly what you seek
takes you out and travels the seas
he wouldn’t be as fragile and weak
as me with this heart disease
i’ll leave now while i still can
you can call me names you’ll regret
remember this was part of the plan
so it’s no use being so upset
just carry on now
nothing left to discuss
you’ll get over quickly somehow
always cursing just to cuss
forgive me but i really must go
into seclusion to seek what you know
study my shadow
watch it grow
figure it out
to match my soul
see what it’s about
try to console

cause the only regret here, is that you didn’t believe
that i’d disappear, as soon as you misconceived

what we were or would ever be

she’s got a pet wolf
lets him run freely
obeys her every command
attacks all the men
that have treated her wrong
chews on their bones
till the marrows all gone
she made an exception for me
cause the tables turned
her heart rejected my love
she feels sympathetic
creature was kind to me
i’d toss him old bones
from ex-lovers remains
walks in the park
always perceived as strange
she lets me visit some days
while she’s out
with future bones
as the creature and i
play into the night

come closer darling
i know what you think
this blood on my hands
won't wash off in the sink

it's the memories dear
that stay in my mind to fright
keeping me screaming
in the bitter late night

but don't worry love
i've got it all figured out
a way to fix everything
no need to doubt

that the best course of action
is put into motion
i'll get rid of everything
throw it in the ocean

to let this ruin us
all that we had
why that's just silly
somewhat just sad

so pick up your hands
cover them too
it will wash off
so fresh it's still blue

to remedy screams
well it's more then it seems
take one of these
harsh fragile dreams

for when we awake
with hands all clean and dry
it'll be easy to forget
you'll just question why

so don't run away now
don't begin to look back
join me now
let's stay on track

cause if you leave now
the only thing i couldn't stand
is to have your beautiful blood
all over my hands

my eyes stung
from the sweat
beading down my face

in the humid summer
as i jogged down
to your house

overcast skies
didn't stop
the sun's rays

my skin burned
dried out
to peel later

your shadeless lawn
with dead grass
and broken sprinkler

busted doorbell
ripped screen door
so i knocked on the mailbox

your tabby cat
motionless and spread out
meowed from the balcony

you came up
with a floral t-shirt
and jean shorts

hair tied back
no makeup
red popsicle

you're the only one
to be cute and cool
on the hottest day

we'd wait
for sunset
the breezy night

rush out
downtown
drink up

to late mornings
afternoon wakes
to repeat

i walk back
to an empty house
and rejuvenate

if the season ends
you disappear
i'll stick around

autumn brings
fleeting love
back in town
