Silent/Not Silent

Silence is piercing and shrill
It is not silence
It is a wordless reminder
That you are alone

It speaks
It slithers
It wraps a coil of distortion
Around your throat

And I never knew you
Until I knew myself
And I regret the electricity
That keeps us alive
Wanting nothing else

Green bicycle
Tires screaming dead

I left you for dead
Unless that was my body

I lost it

And when I speak into my head
I leave your ear on the phone
Silence so loud
We already know

We know
We know
We know

Blue Light Lover

Staying awake because you are haunting
Microphone to an empty room
To an empty audience
To an empty soul
Marooned

We shook hands
It was a deal
We would listen

Grooves in shiny black
Vignettes carved into our heads
Running over
And running over again

Staying awake because we were deaf
Our noise molding distance
Not safe to eat away at

We shook hands
It was a deal
We would forget

Anti-dopamine Heartbreak

If we didn't have
Brains
We would be together

Sever the chords,
I want you

Together We Mean Nothing

You live where I'm from
Marshmallow man
All eyes
No ears

Ego Death

I
Ate
Myself
Myself
Ate
I

Lace Panties

We shared our underwear
but never our clothing-
closing the chapter
we never are close

I love my body
when I'm not with you
when I'm not dreaming
that I will wake up-
peachy

Bruised
you smoke her skin onto me
I am a circular vision
she is a pipe dream
you cannot choose

We shared our underwear
but never our clothing-
closing,
we are close

You can keep
my lace panties.

A coma

A coma -------------------------------- without you.
A coma -------------------------------- together.
A coma -------------------------------- without you.
