If you leave now
before you go
I want you to know
first and foremost
that I'm sorry.
I'm a girl
with blurry dreams
and fucked up morals.
I can't look past the surface,
I won't look past the surface--
whatever the word,
I don't look past the surface much.
It is me, not you
But you already know that.
I'm a girl
Who's only dipped her toe into
the pool of reality,
So bear with me.
One day my heart will break
And through the holes
I will find someone like you.
But for now,
While the moon's still young,
Bear with me.

The Suitors Meet Their Deaths
Armed with a sword and spear, my dear son Telemachus moves to his rightful position to my left and a couple paces back. I rotate my broad shoulders to view him with admiration, and for a few moments, I pay back some of the heavy-hearted debt that I have accumulated for 20 long years. His eyes crinkle ever so slightly, as if he is smiling inside. I am too.
Then, my emotions fall behind a cold stone wall, and my attention draws toward the crowd before me, still engaged in haughty conversation. With my eyes, I sift through the room teeming with these pigs until I spot the prized hog of them all. As the ignorant Antinous lifts

The Blackbird and the Owl P.1
In the badly lit room encased with stone, a birdcage sits on the ground. Just a little ways away is an enormous hourglass. A strange bird, one with muddy brown feathers and a twisted beak, stares blankly at a fixed point in space. Within the hourglass is an owl, one with glossy white and brown feathers and shiny eyes. The only light and air the room gets comes from two missing bricks in the corner of the room.
The hourglass is only half visible. The top half is clear within the room, but the bottom half is somewhere in the ground. There is no way to know how much sand is in the ground, only how much is left to disappear. The glass covering th
“Michael, Michael… wake up.” Michael disregards the calls and doesn’t even bother to wave them off. He just buries his head under his pillow. A few more nudges bother him, but eventually, they stop and he slips back to unconsciousness.
“Michael…” A nudge, and no reply. “Michael Joe Peterson you need to wake up this instant.” A much harder nudge, and Michael swats the air. The person above him forcefully pulls the pillow off his head and Michael winces. The light in the room is unbearably bright, especially for the morning. Michael tries to cower u

Over my dead body
Tempt me, your majesty
my joys will fall behind you
my angers will be dealt with otherwise
whispers catch fire
and you can't deny it
smirk so I can feel the burn
my lust and my desires
are stomped out in the fire
then blow the embers to see if it'll still glow
lure me into the charred forest
test me until your people cry
shouts of joy into the darkness
the glimmer is the love
but there's something I hold onto
foreign figure shadows
monsters will come to mock me
singe my eyebrows
taunt my fears
so even them beside me
will run, run away
so tempt me, your majesty
my rubbish will fall behind me
and my malicious felicity will
"Look at me," she pleaded, "do you see me?"
The man kept walking, blanketing himself with his winter coat at the same time, as if chilled by a wind.
She followed him closely from behind, repeating again and again 'Look at me! Look at me!'. The man's heavy tread was briskshe had trouble keeping up with him. The crusted snow stung her raw, bare feet.
A spark of hope illuminated her face when the man whirled around to face her. She cried, "Yes! You see me, yes? Yes?" But he was looking right through her. The man, bothered by the sense of something behind him, quickened his pace even furthermore. Hers slackened to the point of her fal

The tough gets growing
I'm knee-deep in mud,
grumbling and mumbling
about what I did
to deserve this mess
And my mother glares,
saying,
"When I planted you,
I put you deep in the dirt,
not to bury you alive,
but to teach you that
when the growing gets tough,
the tough gets growing."

Apologies to a friend
You pour your heart out to me,
and are willing
to submerge me
in an ocean
of love
yet when I see the water
rushing towards me,
I convince myself
I don't like
to swim

Pretty metaphors are for pretty girls
I told you to stop
spewing pretty metaphors at me,
for with each elaborate comparison,
I feel a bit more
detached from this world
And maybe I don’t feel so strong at the moment,
but would you be
if you felt like the entire universe
was resting upon your shoulders,
and someone was just there saying:
But you’re stronger than the powerful beats
of a butterfly’s wings
And maybe I do need more confidence,
but would you exuberate it
when the part you hated most about yourself
were the freckles that have speckled your face for years,
and someone was just there muttering:
They’re not flaws,
but rather stars that form const
I'd rather wear flowers in my hair
forming a delicate chain,
than diamonds around my neck
covering my tender blue veins
For with every precious petal
and every lucent leaf
I'm a living lesson
teaching beauty cannot be bought,
but rather it grows and flourishes
with every living thought
I think I was your drink of fine wine,
only used when needed from time to time
I'd get you tipsy, as stars collide
Your drunk, slurred words
blending in with mine
(I couldn't even comprehend
when you said it wouldn't happen again)
I think I was your cigarette break
when anxiety filled,
from me, you'd take
One puff here, and one puff there
(I could barely hear
when you said, "I'm sorry, dear")
I think I was your line of cocaine,
thinking I'd be there to ease your pain
I'd bring you higher,
head suspended in clouds
(So I knew it was fake,
when you said, "It was my mistake")
I think I was your bad habit,
and ignorantly, you were mine

Okay, okay, I AM going to eventually post something. I just don't have any inspiration right now. Moreover, I haven't really sat down with paper in front of me and done something.
It's killing me too D:
A bit random, but has anyone heard any good songs lately?
