dead girls don't write poetry
dear someone,
there are no funerals
for the flesh
no hospitals
for the mind
no curtains & no cremations
for all our pretty words
paradigm,
you can't save every patient
sweet,
a corpse would warm your bed
every night my hair is falling out by insomniaplague, literature
Literature
every night my hair is falling out
I have heard that in 7 years
every cell in your body
is new
& isn't it beautiful that it will be
a body you have never touched
but I know that when your brain cells
die
fall like ashes through your skull
they stay dead
& I can never scrap the memories out of their corpses

Literature
stories from wonderland
this is all
real, realer than I'd
like; my friends are ghosts
passing through the skeleton of me.
I am afraid of their words,
trailing from their lips
like wisps of smoke;
I have secondhand self-esteem
issues. and you,
you are more handsome now
than you ever were before
I was blinded by the
light. you hurt
like I do and in a world
of painkillers and
existential numbness that
is the fucking world, you hurt
like I do and you try
to shake it from your skin
like a shiver. you look at me
like I'm a natural disaster
and I guess I'm shivering, too, but
not for the same reason.
I don't know how to live
without wanting to die; you were
supposed
You’re a big boy and
Your match strike smell erects its damage
pummels my throat passages,
like a bad hit
your pride is a fruitful punch
disguised as a good inhale
and i thought i wore my grown up pants here today
look down to see my lusty libido belt
tightened at the first notch, its a circus cut-off
and you're a charming boy
arresting our affair like that
and still flaunting your jester-jewel around
like a display case
i will fucking rob you one day
take those wimpy words from your garrulous mouth
lick your bare begging tongue
and ask, how do you like them apples?
them sinful apples, Eve-boy
i wonder about your muse this evening bo
i greet the glass with desperation
like i did, the girl
moments ago
now the drink tastes too sore
too sure
like a punch to the mouth
she fucking passed me on
now my lips parked on
a race to fill my empty drains with sugar
but she is the sweetest swallow
