Do you want to be godly together?

is it easier to turn your heart off? to save the energy it takes to keep it constantly running?

keep it cold - furnace stocked just enough to warm yourself?

Broken things

Dropping you all behind me

You slipped yourself out of my grip 

Silently drifted to the ground 

Stayed back in my tracks 

Settled somewhere in the dust

Or grass or sand or flowers

Pulled the wire at your stop

On the street car 

Stepped off

Never waved goodbye.

Godspeed,

Faraway friends,

See you around the bend

Or never again.

I could have 20 arms

And hug everyone at once 

Invisible strings keep us

Connected at the wrist 

I could have you all in one house together

Like in my dreams

Sleepover

The floor covered in cushions 

I could have 20 arms

And hug everyone at once 

Invisible strings keep us

Connected at the wrist 

I could have you all in one house together

Like in my dreams

Sleepover

The floor covered in cushions

Long lost

Alaska

Girl from New Orleans

Girl from Florida 

Girl who brought Conecuh sausage for the fire

and listened to the blues 

Girl with wild curls sleeping next to me

Drunk together 

Maybe we were in love for the night.

It aches when I get this way

The cells in my body I feel them vibrate

It's the static from the TV

It crackles and sparkles behind my eyes

I can't change the channel

Friends and family 

They are flashes outside of the screen

And I cannot reach

I cannot comprehend 

These parts of my life from

The beyond

I can't grab on

Too much electricity 

The sleep timer takes so long

But don't unplug me

I'm afraid I won't make it home


PILLS AND PATTERNS

waiting on a call, text

about some xanax

not as down bad now as i was a week ago

checking my phone on the drive home

like i wished i was hearing from my crush

instead it was pills

not for thrills

just relief

wonder if my heroin queen

thought more about dope

than she did about me

RAGDOLL


alprazolam

from some old man's

prescription bottle


not enough to make me sleep.

get a text - can I stay over?

quarter of a bar from July

birthday bar

make sure I'll sleep


kept awake

by a little freak

is it him or is it me?


kiss me

grab my neck

convince me

to try new things


I can't be worth a damn -

obeying orders

lazily


I move slow

especially next morning

prying my eyes open

glued shut with pills


you're horny

I'm throwing my weight around

feeling 100 extra pounds

just let me sink

on to the ground

I can't go another round
