Here, have a bundle of
Beheaded white roses.
Find out what the secret
That my heart bestows is.
You're welcome to examine
The world of my bedroom,
You'll notice that the teardrops
Are always in full bloom.
And maybe!
You'll see!
What life is like to be...
Me...
Shuffle through piles
Of words once forgotten:
Like suffer and pricker
And so misbegotten.
Dust away crannies of
Cobwebbed desires,
And sniff the old scents of
Stale pit-bulls and liars.
And maybe!
You'll see!
What life is like to be...
Me...
Well, snip my toes
And prep my vase...
It slits my throat
Despite my face!
But that's not who I a
Little girls are drawing the word "Loveliness"
Up and down the sides of their faces
But I rather doubt they've even met the poor old thing.
I went to visit her the other day
In the old folks home for forgotten faeries.
She can't speak anymore
But her eyes still twinkle just as gloriously as ever.
I shut off the soap opera on her television
And knelt beside her bed.
She held out her shaking hand
And I clasped mine around her fragile little fingers.
I reassured her that we hadn't all forgotten about her
And that she still did exist in some things
But I think she knew deep down
That I was full of shit.
I didn't want to lie to her
Just close your eyes and make a wish for me.
Unleash the dormant powers up your sleeve.
Make sure you make me wondrous as can be.
I'll be the greatest man you can perceive.
Wish for a hand to hold on stormy nights.
Wish for a smile to light the darkened streets.
Wish that my eyes beheld breathtaking sights.
Wish that my tongue would taste like sug'ry sweets.
I'll be that man who's there when you're in need,
Whenever there's a whim you deem fulfilled.
I'll be that man who pleases you indeed,
Keeping you gay and charmed and loved and thrilled.
And rest assured I'll find you through the mist.
(-since-) It's only in your mind that I
There must be someone wond'rin'—
Wond'rin' just as hard as I,
"What is the blinking presence
That lies on the other side?"
There must be someone askin'—
Askin' "Who?" and "Where?" and "Why?",
"What could have locked itself inside?
Why must it have to hide?"
There must be someone thinkin'—
Thinkin' with a hungry eye,
"The light, the lure, the wonder
Is to much for me to bide!"
Hand on handle—
Heart on pause—
Squeaking hinges
Sound applause.
And there was someone wond'rin'—
Wond'rin' just as I had thought.
And there was someone askin'—
Askin' all that I had not.
There was a person lookin'—
Lookin' out as I l
Acid from your blowhole
Stains my velvet pillow
Every time you open your mouth.
I can smell it as I'm sleeping—
Asleep to your questions—
Asking me how much I love you.
So I squish my fingers together
So that I ooze out small drips of satisfaction—
Someone else's satisfaction.
It's the sandpaper on your tongue
That tastes like forgetfulness
That has smoothed my diligence
Down into complacentness.
Maybe yesterday wasn't as lonely
As tomorrow's shaping up to be.....
Or maybe yesterday and tomorrow are both giggling at me
Behind my back...
Because I'm stuck here
With you.
Find me,
Finding you tonight.
Grind me,
Grind with all your might.
Make me,
Make it all alright.
Take me,
Take it all away.
Thrill me,
Thrill me as I sway.
Kill me,
Kill me now today!
Kiss me,
Kissing you goodbye.
Miss me,
Miss me when I die.
Heal me,
Heal me when I cry.
Steal me,
Steal my fitted glove.
Fill me,
Fill me with your love.
Kill me,
Kill me from above!
Lift me,
Lift away the clouds.
Shift me,
Shift me in your shrouds.
Save me,
Save me from the crowds.
Wave me
Wave your last "hello".
Will me,
Will me as I go.
Kill me—
Just don't do it slow...
Dear Sadistic Self,
I wish you could see
The things that I've come to know,
The hypocrisy of the blue jay
Painted to look like the crow.
What is it that keeps
Your masochist mind
From emanating the beauty
You were meant to shine?
Drowning in darkness,
Your innocence stolen,
Dreariness endures in the sea
That you're drenching your soul in.
I'd still stand by your side
If I had to die twice,
And since crows have no reflection
You must trust in my advice
It's plain to see
That your grand design
Is so much greater
Than just standing in line.
Our connection is permanent
And false to deny,
I see your hidden whimpers
And ever
A poem for the Jerk that Someone cared for
The pitchfork often rigid
As the glare I give to you.
Urging on this notion
That your life is all but true.
Don't glance at the surface
Where the words here do reside,
Rather close your eyes and focus
On that lonely place you hide.
With paddles of resilience
And a sturdy steadfast heart,
Lean into this lovestream
For a brand new start.
Know I'd do anything to save you
From the fathoms of your fear,
And I'd hold your hand forever
Just to let you know "I'm here".
How can I cry,
Without any tears?
How can I hope,
With all of these fears?
How can I leave,
With nowhere to go?
How can I age,
With no room left to grow?
How can I fall,
When I haven't gotten back up?
How can I win,
When I haven't any luck?
How can I smile,
Without anybody to smile with?
How can I face the facts,
When I am but a myth?
How can I bleed,
When I'm empty inside?
How can I be free,
Among rules I cannot abide?
How can I hate,
When all I want is love?
How can I love,
When I just can't get enough?
How can I tell the truth,
When my whole life is a lie?
How can I live,
When all I want to do is __?
I dream of love and a soulmate,
Of uncovering a world without hate
I dream of popularity and fame,
Of never being ridiculed to blame
I dream of equality and respect,
Of always being what people expect
I dream of learning and growing,
Of thinking, then always knowing
I dream of impeccable envy,
Of making all prices be free
I dream of it always being Spring,
And then I dream of doing everything.
"Happiness Is Candy"
It's bubblegum that always sticks by your side.
It's smarties that help you with your homework.
It's a fireball that melts the snow away.
It's a doughnut that guides you to the holey one.
It's a 100grand that pays all your bills.
It's handful of starbursts that light up the path.
It's gummy bears that scare away your fears.
It's candy bars that allow you to escape.
It's a package of skittles that brightens your attitude.
It's a popsicle that lets you chill out.
It's a lollypop that treats your wounds.
And, It's a hershey kiss that tucks you to bed.
My eyes open at last
The world is bright.
I blink.
You smile.
The world is vast.
I giggle.
You swoon.
The world is cold.
I choke.
You gasp.
The world is dark.
I die.
You cry.
My eyes close again

When You Tried to Hide a Smile
I'm not in love
With your perfect face,
Or with your eyes
That rest in place.
I'm not gazin' at your
Paramount cheekbones,
Or listnin' intently
To your sensuous tones.
I couldn't care less
How you brush your hair,
When all them frizzles
Just go everywhere.
I don't snort like a pig
When you're aglow with cheer.
I don't grab my chest
When your tears appear.
It wasn't until you tried
To curl that big ol' smile
Underneath one tiny lip,
That I realized all the while
That
I do
Love
You.
I'm smiling at you
But you'll never know it.
I envy your freedom
But I must forgo it.
I'm stuck in that place
That's neither here nor there.
A prisoner to The In-Between
Holding onto this blank stare.
I'm ashamed of myself
Because of what I am.
And it hurts that you
Just don't give a damn.
I know how you suffer
Because I was there too.
In fact I once was
A small part of you.
But you let me go
With just one blink.
What else could I do
Beside slowly sink?
Now I don't feel betrayed
Just a little bit bitter.
After all, that's my job
Just to glisten and glitter.
I'm smiling at you
But you'll never know it.
I
The Toilet Paper Tumbles by PsydewaysTears, literature

The Toilet Paper Tumbles
The toilet paper tumbles
And rolls right out the door,
Just like my youthful figure
Which belongs to me no more.
The toilet paper bounces
Along the busy street,
Winning all the races
—I could not even compete.
The toilet paper unwinds
Dropping unwanted pounds,
He makes it look so easy
As his merriment abounds.
The toilet paper wobbles
And dances to and fro,
I can hardly keep a beat
Let alone tap my ugly toe.
The toilet paper rotates
And begins to dizzy up,
I sip my folger's coffee
Out of a tiny paper cup.
And the toilet paper staggers
Then reduces to a roll,
I've got this paper beaten!
For in me, there is a soul!
