She's Certainly Cold Now...
Cold Now
Walking in on the scene it could have been a murder. If only it had been. It was godawful that day. Blood everywhere. Hell, there were chunks. She blew her brain out. Put the gun right between her own eyes, they say. Cold steel, right there. Were her fingers shaking when she pulled the trigger? Did she think about it first? How many times did she see herself standing there, facing the window, so her last sight could be the dirty, painful sky she never had hopes of reaching?
Couldn't have been more often than I've now dreamt about that scene, her frail self holding the gun. Her cold hands no longer reaching for support, just an end.

I'm sure it counts, my love.
"What, I have any sort of grace?"
.scoff.
"Well, when I see you sleeping,
I feel as if I've been graced by an angel.
Doesn't that count?"
A special feeling spreads in my stomach,
when you hold me like you do, close,
I feel so close, and so warm,
Happy and loved.
"You're the graced one? I'd think the one
in complete peace,
should feel graced."
"To be the one to cause that,
is a greater joy than you know."
Great, greater,
the greatest joy I know is your embrace,
the comfort and safety and
LOVE
How much is one person allowed to take?
I guess it depends on the give,
I guess it depends on the need.
How much strain am I supposed to take?
Does that even matter to me?
I'd guess not, the way I forget.
How much is anyone allowed to wish?
Am I allowed to wish for him?
Am I allowed to wish for them?
Can I even help, or is this all pointless?
I sure hope it's not.
Because I'm giving too much for that.
Why do i remember,
so vividly,
that we were good friends?
Why do I wish,
I hadn't done something
very wrong?
Oh,
because I did.
Because I lost someone that could've,
very easily,
been a best friend my entire life.
How could I have let that slip?
When did I?
Why did I?
Why am I fucking stupid?

Poor Souls - Collab
For every light on at midnight,
In that place called Chicago,
There is a lonely soul
Buried up to it's aura in paper work.
Lost souls,
like fireflies each night,
lost souls,
in forests, post-mortem.
Each with a home,
each all alone.
Work takes precedence,
a necessary attitude development?
Why do they stay so late?
Off at half past eight,
now it's half past night.
For every echoing foot step
On those trash scorn sidewalks,
There is a soul lost in
A sea of florescent lighting.
Everything will be just fine,
you're not just on my mind,
you're here with me, i feel like,
like this could stay,
no, should stay.
the world should stay as it is,
fuck "a bit too warm" and
a "bit too violent".
Just now, I honestly don't care,
I'm not out there.
Nope, in fact, I'm here,
with you,
and everything is perfect,
even if everything's not.
Life of the Party.
You're the life of the party,
chugging, hugging, humping,
until the dead of night.
But when do you start your life?
All I ever hear of you,
is drunken stories,
and from you,
drunken banter.
You're an empty soul,
without an empty home.
What're you doing?
Are you trying to forget,
or trying to create something to remember?
No one even knows your name,
you're just the guy with the booze.

Mary Sue, she loves you. by spiralsinthedark, literature

Mary Sue, she loves you.
Mary Sue,
lost her shoe,
went outside to find it.
Mary's blue,
the shoe was new,
Mother wasn't happy at all.
Mary's hiding,
afraid of Fathers chiding,
far worse than harsh words.
Mary's bruised,
cover up, go to school,
old ratty shoes, big news.
Mary's busy,
working for a new, shiny,
bright shoe, so Mommy and Daddy can be proud.
Mary's never
got quite enough for them,
pays that price with every wince.
Mary's trying,
trying so hard,
Father's angry, Mother's crying.
Mary's inevitably,
slowly, by neglecting hands,
dieing.
Doves
I wish I was a lovely
as he makes me out to be.
I wish I was as invisible
as I always seem to feel.
I wish the doves could sing with me,
lend me their beautiful voices,
to make mine worth hearing to you.
I wish the silver lining in each cloud,
would rain on me for once,
rather than cold and wet.
I wish I could hide like every feeling,
you've ever had, unless,
of course, they weren't there at all.
I wish I could spin stories like you,
my love, your story so hard to unfold,
"He's lieing", a thousand times,
I must have been told.
At least that many, I ignored.
I wish wishes came true.
I wish love could be true.
I wish
I feel so alone just now.
Still, he's the only one talking,
still, i love him for what he does,
and can't stand him for the same.
I feel so alone just now,
sitting in my room, music's the sound,
broken sobs for no reason marring it.
I wish he was here for me now.
I feel so alone just now,
longing for some sort of contact,
a sign of love, a hint that I exist.
he's the giving one, and I hurt him.
I feel so alone just now,
I'd kill to call him, but,
what if he's sleeping, or busy,
or something? Feeling clingy.
But I just feel so alone.
Do Butterflies Count? by spiralsinthedark, literature
Literature
Do Butterflies Count?
I feel unimportant,
hiding, trying,
so hard to be bright,
the everlasting butterfly,
with even a tiny affect.
Do I make a ripple?
Do I make a sound?
Does my life even count?
Easy to ignore me,
right up until I shout,
right up until I hurt,
right up until
I do something stupid.
Do I have to be sad?
Do I have to be mad?
Does that attention even count?
I give up, life's not worth it alone,
Life's not worth it without love.

Peace in a Nutshell
Peace In a Nutshell
Is grass at my feet.
A simple sky reflected in your eyes.
A warm day, a piece of quiet to claim.
Your arms around me,
you breathing slow,
warmth surrounding,
love I know.
Small smile spread on your face,
painted clouds, wishing to see a sunrise.
Spending a night in this place
is an enticing idea.
Peace to me is what it seems,
happiness mixed with dreams,
mind at rest, heart slow,
with you, love, in the grass.
PRESSURE
"I like to wait,
to see how things turn out,
if you apply some pressure."
Fuck that. I don't want to see,
I don't want this to crack,
I don't want to lose again.
Despite what I, you, they say,
I'll end up alone again.
I can't stand the thought of
losing you, it makes me want
to cry, lie, die on the inside.
Not because I love you,
though I do,
but because alone again
might kill me.
Don't mistake the meaning,
this doesn't say "I don't love you",
it says "I can't live without you...
or someone, at least."
I can't start again,
no one will start with me.
Stomach knots exist as it is,
they'll move to blood clots,
